Tronton, July 24.?Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock a supposed tramp was shot by Mr. M. W. Hudgens, who lives about six miles south of here near Eureka. Some time during the afternoon possibly about 4 o'clock, a man came to Hudo'ena' hrman there was no one exeept hie wife and little children. He asked Mrs. Hudgens whore the old man was and she replied that he was in the orchard getting aomo peaches. The man went to the orchard and, not finding Hudgens there, came back, and it is said, called Mrs. Hudgens a liar, and demanded something to eat. Mrs. Hadgens fled with her children to a neigh bor's house about half a mile distant and asked him to go for her husband who was at Eureka. On the way homo Hudgens borrowed a gun from a ueighbor, when he reached the house the man was rtill there. Hudgens asked what he was doing and he began to get back in the houso at the same time, it is claimed, putting hie hand behind him as if to draw a pistol. Hudgens tired, the load taking ofiect in the stranger's, right leg. As ho turned Hudgens fired again striking him in the small part of the back. Ho staggered hack further in the house und fell. Hudgens and one person, the only eye witness, then took him to Eureka and went to Trenton for the doctor and wired Shoriff Alderman at Aiken to como for the wounded man. The man is of average size and is shabbily dressed. He has the appearance of being about 25 years of age. At first he told that he was from Florida and was going to his relatives in Georgie and afterwards he was going to North Carolina. He refuses to tell his name. He is still alive this morning and the doctor thinks he will pull through. Hudgens is a respectable young farmer, having moved here from Laurens last year. No one blames him for shooting under the cir cum stances. NO PITY SHOWN "For years fate was after mo continuously" writes F. A.
