M. D. NESMITH SHOOTS AND FATALLY WOUNDS ELI SAULS. Both Men are Prominently Connected and the Affair Causes General Re* arret?Verdict of Coroner's Jury. About sunset Friday afternoon a shooting affray occurred at Cades, resulting in the fatal wounding of Mr. Eli Sauls by Mr. M. D. Nesmiih. The trouble took place at the railroad between the tepot and the crossing. From what can be gathered the dispute between tbe two men arose about a load of cressties offered for sale by a negro. While Nesmith was trading with the negro Sauls approached and offered a higher price for the ties. Nesmith resented the interference and an altercation ensued between them, during which Nesmith drew a pistol and fired at Sauls four times it quick succession. "Although the men were standing but a few teet apart only oue bullet took effect. The ball entered under the lower rib on the leit side about the cardiac end f the stomach. The pistol was a 32 calibre Smith <fc Wesson. Drs. D. C. Scott and \?. J. Haselden were immediately called iu to attend the wounded man, but in spite of all that could be done he grew weaker and at 8 o'clock Sunday morning succumbed to the wound. Sheriff George J. Graham and his deputies arrived at the scene ot the shooting as Roon as possible after being notified on the night of the occurrence, but Nesmith had disappeared. Both the men are prominently connected and the affair is universally deplored. Mr. Necmith is 30 years old and is a member of the firm of Nesmlth Brothers, of iCades. He is unmarried. Mr., Sauls' age was 34 and he leaves a wife and seven children. THE INQUEST. At 4 o'clock p. m. Corener H. M. Burrows empanelled a jury and .held an inquest over the body of Mr. Eli Sauls. The attending physicians and several witnesses gave testimony. The physicians testified as to the nature of the wound and the immediate cause of death,which they said resulted from the shock of the ball's perforation of the stomach. Mr hauls made an ante-mortem statement which is in the hands of the State, but was not placed in evidence at the inquest The jury rendered the following verdict: That the deceased came to his death by a gunshot wound at the hands of M. D. Nesmith. Mr. Nesmith is still in retirement, but we are reliably informed that in due time he will come forwaad and stand his trial. LeRoy Lee, Esq., has been retained to assist in the prosecution, and Capt. John A. Kelley will represent the defense. Ones Changed, Later Tha 3>:@:@?:@:?:@:?:@:?:?:?
