The shooting occurred about 1 half way up Ardrey's Hill, west of the Southern passenger station, and, according to the negro's version of the affair, the shot was fired by Crawford 1 Tschellier, a young white man 1 employed in one of the local cotton mills. Following this statement of the negro and a statement of a young man who was in the company of Tschellier at the time, the latter was arrested shortly afterward and placed in the city prison. Sunday afternoon he was taken to York jail, where he will be held pending developments in the negro's condition. Alexander bled profusely from the wound and it was feared that in his weakeneu condition he could not survive the necessary amputation of his i arm, but this he did and at last i reports was doing as well as could be expected.
