Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 18.—A very serious shooting affray occurred yeeter- to Sheriff Honan. The sheriff was asleep and was greatly surprised when ho learned who his caller was. Young Nor ton was accompanied by his father, Dr. Norton, and William Berrien. The authorities had no idia that Norton was within :100 miles of Savannah. It waa generally believed that he was in Australia. One week ago to-day the day at Riddick, a small town on the I grand jury of Eilingham county found Florida Southern rail way,five miles north of Ocala. George Sanders, a white man, crazed with whisky, went into E, P. Thagarda’s store, and after flourishing a revolver around very carelessly and deliantly, flred a shot at Ned Poux, one of the clerks employed there. The shot did not take cffecL T. R. Williams and John Friday, who ■were standing near, thereupon rushed at Sanders, and after a desperate strug gle of five minutes, succeeded in dis arming him. A negro who esme in just as the scuf fle began and had no idea of the cause of it, rushed across the street to Sanders' store and told his brother Dob that two white men were trying to kill George.

A minute later Bob Sanders, having exhausted his ammunition, turned to go out of the store, but &omcono iu the rear, noboby knows who, tired a charge of buckshot st him. It was lodged in his side, abdomen and loin?, and he fell to the ground in a dead faint. THE WILDEST EXCITEMENT PREVAILED. By this time the whole population (about 260) was in tiie streets, and the wildeet excitement prevailed. Somebody got s telegraph operator at the railroau station to wire to Ocala for help, but George banders heard of it and threatened the life of the operator if lie sent any more messages The young man left his instrument and went home, consequently there was no ness from Reddick until after 2 o'clock this morn- Just af^r dark Deputy Sheriff Seller* arrived from Ocala with a po ao of twenty-two tnen.
