N. G. Gonzales, editor of The State, is at the Columbia Hospital in a critical condition, as a result of a serious piatol wound indicted by Mr. James II. Tillman, Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina. The .Shooting occurred on Main Street, just at the intersection of Gcrvais street, in full view of the State Capitol. It was an awful tragedy in broad daylight and on the moat frequented street and corner in Columbia. The bullet which pierced through one of the most distinguished editors of the entire South, may end that brilliaut life, but if the bed of surgery, the best of care and j the most ardent of prayers and wishes avail for aught, that life ought to bo saved. It was just a few moments before 2 o'clock when the cry was passed along the streets that "Jim Tillman had shot N. G. Gonzales." It was a shocking and startling announcement. It went like a thrill through . all Columbia and there was a rush ( towards 4ho scene of the tragedy to learn the facts and condition of I it- li-i- " me timuDgiusneu editor. Lieutenant Gov. Tillman was arrested after the shooting and relieved of two 38 calibre pistols boforo being taken to jail. The only cause kn?wn for tho shoot ing is tho opposition of Editor \ Gonzales' to Tillman's election as Governor in the primary last Au- ! gust and tho expressions used i editorally against him. There appears to bo no conflict of testimony as to the essential 1 features of the tragedy. Lieut. - ! Gov. Tillman, in company with Senators Talbird and Brown, Con- | gvessman-eloct Aiken and former representative Domiuick, on their way from tho State house, met Mr. Gonzales, who was on his ? . j WflV tn /linnoi* " * * * '" " * ' 1 ?j miuuvi ) jUOb (It KJC mi ll 1)1 I Main and Gervais Streets. There was no encounter, no fist lighting, no laying on of hands, lieutenant Governor Tillman, the testimony now all sccma to be, simply drew his revolver and tired into Editor i Gonzales. Most of thoso who saw the affair say there was noth*. j ing sau^ until after tho shot. One j of Lieutenant Governor Tillman's escort says ho thinks Mr. Tillman said: "J received your message," and then tired, lie is not certain of this, but thinks so. Tho other escort of Mr. Tillman says he did not hear anything und did not see the affair, but thinks ho would have heard any words, as ho was ... V... <? ill I LIU YUl y llllllMl HI 1110 a II till'. Two or three others say thoy heard nothing until after the tiring of the pistol. Editor Gonzales and Lieutenant Governor Tillman have passed each other in full tiow sinco the opening of the present sossion of the General Assembly on Tuesday, hnt there has been no encounter, no word passed, uo nod or recognition of any kind, and today it eame like a thunder clap out of a peaceful sky when the shot was fired. As to the uhooti g, that is a simple story. Lieutenant Governor Tillman met Mr.Gonzales on the street, drew his pistol and fired at him, wiped his pistol on hit coat sleeve, took aim as if to fire again, chang ed his mind and lot his pistol fall to his sido. Lieutenant Governor Tillman was perfectly cool ansl collected, sober and unevcited to all appearance. Mr. Gon /Jliun WJIB UIIK & IIIUU. I The shock from the magazine pi-tol paralyzed him and as Mr. Got.zales saw the deadly weapon aimed at him, perhaps for a fatal bullet, he cried out. "Shoot again, vour coward!" If his life be npated, perhaps that expression which may have spared the second bullet, was the magic of the oeeasi< n There was only one shot fired and that entered the right side between the eighth and ninth ribs and passed through the fore part of the body, coming out just above the free border of the ribs. The most serious wound is the cutting of the transverso colon for about an inch and a half, almost evoring the intestine. This and the three other wound of the intestinos ; were carefully sewed. After tlx | operation the physiciuus rcportod ! that the patient stood the ordeo bountifully and that the operation was as successful as it could he. lieutenant Governor Tillman was asked for a statement bul said he had been advised by connsol to say absolutely nothing, and he followed their advice to the letter. oonzai.es' general conditio? favorable.
