FATALLY SHOT-At Mt. Carmel church, near Oakley, this county, just after the
services began Friday night. Frank Inman, son of Joe Inman shot and fatally
wounded Lee Cathers, son of Henry Cathers. The ball entered the back of the
head to the left and lodged over the right eye. The shooting was the result
of an old grudge. Inman made his escape and up to this writing has not been
apprehended. Cathers in all probability will die.

That young man Cathers who was so seriously wounded at Mt. Carmel an account
of which we gave in our last issue is we are glad to say improving and will
in all probability recover.
