MRS. LLOYD PENICK SHOT MISS EUBANKS

Colored Circles of Fowler Scandalised by Use of Pistol by Infuriated Woman on Street.

Fowler, July B.—Colored circles were very much agitated this after noon at 5 o’clock when Mrs. Lloyd Penish shot Miss Sal lie Eubanks in the left thigh. Early in the day the women had exchanged angry words. Miss Eubanks had asked Mrs. Penisk to caution her husband about making advances to the former. This request offended Mrs Penick, who was loyal to her husband, and could not believe that he would do what Miss Eubanks claimed he had been doing. Just before‘the shooting, Miss Eubanks with her sister, started for the home of her sister, Mrs. John Jeffries, another sister. Her course took her past the Penick home. Mrs. Penick saw her coming and ran for the gate. ‘Take back those names you called me,” she demanded in angry tones.. v - “You called me more names than I called you,” retorted Miss Eubanks. Then Mrs. Penick raised a pistol and fired, the bullet lodging in Miss Eubanks’ leg. She was preparing to fire again when her mother-in-law, Mrs. William Penick, interfered. Dr. LaSage was called and extracted the bullet. The wound

is not serious. Mrs. Penick wa* arrested and was given a prelimin ary hearing before Justice Peterson on the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. She was bound over to the circuit court and the SSOO bond was signed bv her father-in-law. --
