NIGHT J IOTH ARE IN WASHINGTON HOSPITAL?PEELE'S CONDITION IS SERIOUS?C RAICH SUC- j CEEDED IN MAKING HIS ES- M CAPE?ALL THE PARTIES ARB ? COLORED? FAMILY TROUBLES THOUGHT TO BE THE CAUSE. There was a shooting affair on last Fourth street Saturday night etween twelve and one o'clock and wo of the principals are now In the Washington Hospital as & result of heir wounds while the third one has kipped to parts unknown to tho poice. Saturday night Joseph Cratch, olored, who halls from Blounts reek, but has been working In the >g woods near the town of Greenllle, accompanied by Lizzie Peele, \ olored woman, at whose house he ad been hoarding and lodging for he pas. week, v.-?tn to the grocery tore of Matthew Harvey on Fourth uat the store the roman paid her grocery bill and tien purchased another week's suply. After sottling her bill she had bout *7.00 left and this slio turned ver to Cratch for cafe keeping until he could return to her home, ratch and the woman then returned ome. Upon entering the house hey found William Peele the husar.d of Lizzie. What occurred in tho house has ot as yet been ascertained only that ratch shot Peele with a 32 caliber latol, the ball entering tho right heat about two inches below the col ir bone. The woman Lizzie Peele ecelved a bullet in hor neck. The round of Peele, who is now in the Vaahlngton Hospital, is said to be eriuus, while that of the woman, rhile painful is not thought by the urgeons to be serious, although she s suffering much pain. At the time of the shooting eele'B first wife's son was asleep in he room where the affair took place. Jpon being questioned by the others as to how the difficulty took ilace staled that he was asleep, did to! know anything about It. and that he roports of the pistol actually ailed to arouse him from slumber. Cratch succeeded In making his iscape and up to the hour of going o press had not been apprehended. The surmise is that family differ- ^ >nces caused the row. Peele, the nan shot, was employed at the Wash ngton Buggy Company plant. He ,% about fifty years of age while ?ratch is between thirty-five and forty. LAST EXCURSION We will on Wednesday.
