Mr. Adam Metts, the ? ? ? --it.J i- -i i poiicemaD, was cauea upon w stop the fight and in attempting to do so, ' was thrown down several times by < Mr. Hall, who claims that he was endeavoring to seperate his father 4 and brother. With the assistance ] of Mr. Jake Bickley, Policeman Metts succeeded in arresting the two belligerents. From this beginning grew the one that resulted in the shooting of Mr. Jim Hall later in the evening. Everthing bad apparently quieted down and the excitement had subBided when some time after dark Mr. Hall again came up street when he was shot by Policeman Metts four times. One phot took effect in ; the thigh, one ia the right elbow breaking the arm, one in the left arm and the other one about the centre of the back, none of which is considered fatal. Dr. Wingard was called ia and dressed the wounds and Dr. Lewie Griffith was summoned from Columbia byjriends of the wounded man and arrived here about two o'clock. Mr. Metts surrendered to Sheriff Corley immediately after the shooting and was confined in j<*il until Monday when he was released in the n mn.nanf TllOCfletJ tlUSCUV/C Ui. a VY ai iauu. morning be was arrested on a warrant sworn out by a Mr. Miller charging him with assault and battery with intent to kill, and immediately gave bond in the sum of $300 for bis appearance at court.
