(By Long-Dlstance Fhone.)
Greenville, N. C., Sept. 5.?Yesterday
afternoon between. 4 and 5 ^ ,
o'clock this town was thrown Into a
state of excitement over the fact
that "Jimmle" Rauss, who has been
a resident here for the past thirty
years, had Bhot O. H. Smith. The
gun used was a Winchester. The
first shot entered Just below the
heart and the second In the arm.
Although Smith Is living today bis
condition ie precarious. Rauss im
mediately after the affair went to the
sheriff's office and gave himself up.
He is now in jail, and, although he
could doubtless give bond, he has
made no application.
llauss runs a bakery on Third and
Fifth streets. Smith, it is alleged,
left &ome "booze" there yesterday
afternoon and during the afternoon
carried several of his friends thero
to indulge. This was objected to b>
Rauss. In consequence of the pro
r<s* <>'. rums Smith, when he reached
the door of the bakery, turned
and cursed Hauss and stated "that
he would get him."
In consequence of this threat
Rauss left his bakery, went to his
room and secured his gun. Smith,
within a few minutes, is seen by
Rauss making his way towards the
bakery, and Rauss raised his gun
and llrcd, with the above effect.
Rauss has been a resident of
Greenville for over a quarter of century
and no man has a wider circle
of friends. Smith is well known.
The entire town is In quite f.n
