The Doting, it is said, is the final roit of trouble that has been brew- ' ;|j ; for some time between these two rties. Gregory claims that Furr ; 4 d ruined his home. Up to about ir months ago Furr was living out Lydia, when, it is said, he was *ced to leave' on account of this At about 1:50 o'clock Saturday af noon Gregory was standing just ^vjj front of the store of T. C. Sum- , \":'i >rell & Brothers, when Cal. Furr, iving the Bee Hive Racket store, tich is just across the street, and t seeing Gregory, came directly yards him. Upon perceiving Furr, is said that Gregory, without pass I any words whatever at once drew i gun and began firing, the second at striking Furr in the hip, caus* him to fall. Furr drew his pjisas quickly as possible and fired ree shots, all of which missed ex- , Vpt one, which passed through egory's right hand, between the ird and fourth fingers. ?
