In addition to being severely beaten, Tom HOWERY, a well known young man of Baptist Valley, and former member of the 80th division, was shot in the leg in a general fight that occurred at the home of B.P. REPASS Tuesday noon. HOWERY and B.P. REPASS and his son, Luther REPASS, were brought to town Tuesday afternoon, and required to give bond for appearance at a magistrate's trial here tomorrow. Owing to the condition of the men when the ruckus occurred, moonshine being at the bottom and top of the affair, it is difficult to secure details of the fight, or establish who shot HOWERY, but an effort will be made at the preliminary hearing to bring out the facts.

Miss Vera JONES, teacher in Graham High School, was visiting homefolks here Sunday.
