Women Growing Hostile.

There will be a big demand here for bullet proof clothing pretty soon, if shooting off of fire arms continues as promiscuous as it has for a few days past. Thus Saturday evening in a certain part of town someone took a shot at someone else; and a similar incident took place Sunday evening, in a different part of town. They were all different parties and in both cases the “man behind the gun,” happened to be a woman, and in one case the party shot at was a woman also. In that case the shooting is said to have been the rather emphatic method adopted by the shootess to discourage rubbernecking on the part of the shootee. The other case was to drive away some son of Belial who preaisted in intruding where he was not at all welcome.
