John Hartman, of This City, Shot by Dr. Joyce at Minden Minden was the scene of another shooting Saturday night as a result of which John Hartman is lying at his home dangerously wounded and may not s'iryivu while Dr. Joyce stands accused of shooting with intent to kill.

There has been a grudge existing between the two men for. some time past and those who knew of Ilartman's inclinations towards his enemies predicted some time ago that trouble would grow out of it and that one or both of the men would be killed or badly wounded and Saturday night's meeting of the two showed how near the prediction was correct. Dr. Joyce is also credited with being a man, of nerve but he has, it isj said, ayoided Hartman onreve'ral occasions to save trouble. Saturday night, however jt seemed the time had arrived for the end and Hartman rode up in front of the new building recently erected by Mr.

Usher and about twenty feet away from the office of Dr. Joyce with the intention, it is said, of entering the office for a settlement of the difficulty. Before he had got away from his horse, however, Joyce opened fire upon Hartman with a shot gun loaded witli No. 4 shot. The load took effect over Hartman's left lung and a portion of the shot entered the lung.

Hartman's. hors.e got a portion of the load and is badly hurt, Hartman was taken to his home and Dr. Kelve'y was called to attend to his injuries. Hartman was in a serious difficulty about a year ago with a man named Fox and was pretty badly injured. That trouble came up over the boys of the Jwo-men getting into a fight in which Hartman's boy was bested and Hartman took it up and would have severely chastised the Fox boy had not his father interfered.

Hartman is a resident of this city and when under the influence of liquor is said to be a bad man. Tom Mackie made a trip to Scam mon Saturday. i C. E. Hughes was a Pittsburg visitor Tuesday evening.
