A man named
HELBERT shot and seriously wounded Al BROWN, at Richlands last Monday night. As we go to press BROWN is still alive, and Dr.
WILLIAMS has some hope of his recovery. The shooting occurred after Spark's Circus had closed. We have been unable to learn the cause of the shooting.
HELBERT escaped and has not been caught.
