Ugly South Carolina Negro Went ' Gunning in Strauss' Alley J Last Night. MAN AND "WOMAN SHOT. Crawled Under the House nnd Fired Five Times nt Henrlettn HD1, With Whom He Had Quarreled Unknown Nerro Hit Twice In Passing. - A bad South Carolina negro, with a deadly pistol and a steady aim, made war upon the bailiwick of Strauss' alley last night about 9 :30 and as a result of his manoeuvres, : Henrietta Hill, alias Jones, a denizen of the place, is laid up at the hospital with a bulletin her left lung and a negro man, name unknown, Is somewhere in the city with a couple of 32-ealibre bullets in his leg. Prince Moses, eight days in the city from Florence, S. C, was the manipu lator of the firearm and soon after the shooting he wasv arrested by Police man Jno. R. Hardy at Fourth and Swann streets. He says he will prove an alibi, but both the wounded woman and man identified him after the affair as the negro who did the shooting.; He is locked up at the police station and will be given a preliminary hear ing as soon as the result of the Hill woman's injuries is known. She was taken to the James Walker Memorial Hospital froii Strauss' alley by Hall Officer J. A. Martin In the police patrol wagon. Dr. Akerman,the surgeon in charge, found that the bullet grazed the wo man's right arm and entered her cheat, penetrating the right lung. Another bullet inflicted a flesh wound on the thigh. The woman's Injuries are not necessarily dangerous but, if compli cations arise, her case will doubtless prove fatal. The negro man, soon after Identify. log Moses, disappeared in search of a physician to extract a couple of bullets from his anatomy, and had not -been located by the police early this morn ing. The cause of the trouble was a previous quarrel between Moses and the woman, because the latter threat ened to Indict him in Justice Fowler's court for some offence. The first quar-" rel occurred in a house but the woman went out and later as she came down the alley, Moses had secreted himself under a house and fired at her five times from his hiding place. The negro man happened to be passing and accidentally got in range of the South Carolina darkey's weapon. No pistol was found on Moses' person when he was. arrested. Policeman Hardy nabbed him as he was . com ing out of the alley. " The wounded negro woman was alarming the community with her shouts and was taken as speedily as possible to the hospital. The wounded negro man went to Fentress' drug store for a phy sician but came across the bridge and disappeared. "Assuming that it's only the vicious negroes who furnish the South with a race problem," remarked Jailor Bob Capps at the police station last night, "give 'em pistols, knives' and razors, and they'll solve it for themselves in fifteen minutes." The burden of testi mony appears on the side of: the Cap tain's 'Observation upon last night's affair. " " . THE MAYOR'S COURT YESTERDAYS One to Superior Court, One to Roads and Several Heavily FInedv Mike Hllburn, white, upon whose person a pistol was found when ar rested for being drunk Saturday night, was bound over to the Superldr court by the Mayor yesterday, charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
