F. Hedrick Was Called From His Room at 11 O'clock He Shot Mr. Shi ping A De- plora le Affair. A most deplorable shooting af fair occurred in this city, on South Lee street, last night at 11 o'clock. This morning the talk of the town was about the affair. The shooting took place near Mrs. Ray's boi-rding house. It was impo ssible to-day to get at the straight of the affair, be cause two of ti e principals refused to make staten ents and the third is in .a j critical condition at the Whitehead Lo ig sanatorium, andf was not askec to make a state ment for the raper. As near as we could ascertain them the facts in the case are as follows, barri ig of course, the immediate happenings of the shooting as thvve was no eye wit ness except those connected with the affair: Yesterday Mr. P. F. Hedrick, a youhg man, unmarried was here from Lexins on. He formerly lived here and ped at his o yesterday he stop- d boarding house, Mrs.; Ray's. He was at that place asleep last night at 11 o'c ock when Mr. A. D . 1 Shu ping land Mr. David Mauney,i mar ried men, of the city called upc n him. to settle a matter, the nature of which can not be published here, because of the refusal of Ihe men to tajk for publication. .' - Mr. Jiin Slojan, a boarder was still up reading and he answered the knock of the visitors. The', or one of th 3m, asked for Mi Hedrick and pe was awakened. He dressed himself and accom panied the visitors to the street in front of the he use. The conversation which followed will not b"e known until the case comes to trial, i In a short while, however, aftei the party pf three had gotten together, two pistol shots were heard and then Mr. Hedrick re-entered the house and stated that he i had killed one of tho men.; 1 He had shot twice with his pis tol, a 38,! but only one bullet took effect. It entered Mr. Shnping's body between the first and second rib, near ths sternum, passed through the right lung near the large blood vessel, and lodged just under the skin in the back. Shortly afterwards Hedrick was arrested I and i Mr. Shuping was taken to the WMtehead-Long san atorium whereihe is now in a pre carious condition. He has copius internal hemorrhages, . and there is only a slight chance of his re covery. j ! When Mr. Hedrick was arrested his pistol had no empty chambers. He told the officer that he had shot in . self defense and then had refilled his pistol to be ready if they cam e back. Mr. Hedrick was taken to the city hall iwherp ho was kept till noon todays Mr. Mauney was ar rested at his boarding house after midnight, and today the two were committed to jail to await a change in Mr. Shu ping's condition.

V-On Friday evening of the 24th of February, several ladies visited the parsonage at Union E. L. J Church. The rap at the door, was answered by Mrs. Brown.' They at once inquired as to the whereabouts of their pastor Rev. C. A. Brown. He was soon found and ushered in to the presence of the ladies.. Be fore he had hardly time to say anything and compose himself, the spokes-woman presented him and Mrs. Brown with a very beauti ful and durable quilt for which they were very thankful. These tokens of kindness and appreciation on the part of the church members may seem insig nificant and of little worth, but to the pastor and his wife they mean much. X. T. J. VV.
