A bad shooting affray took place the first of last week up on a farm of Mr. G. A. Tarbutton, when Virgil Walker took his 38 Winchester and went out into the field and pulled down on one Seals Sallette without any provocation, according to Salletse's wife who came to town on last Friday and swore out a warrant for Walker. The wounded man was hit in the shoulder as he was running away. He will recover. The woman stated here Walker got mad because his wife continued chopping cotton for Sallette against Walker's will. This, however, has been discounted. Drs. Harris and Page attended the wounded man.
