A SHOOTING INCIDENT.
Two Men Fired Upon. Gore, Tuesday. A shooting incident, fortunately unattended by serious consequences, occurred in Gore last Wednesday, but information of it did not reach the police until Saturday afternoon. Three men visited the house of a man named Thurston in East Gore, and it is understood that during the time they were paying their visit, Mrs Thurston, pursued by her husband, rushed into their presence, crying for help, and that one of the visitors (S. Leahy) temporarily disabled Thurston. Leahy, accompanied by O. Swan, then left, and Thurston, going into an adjoining room, returned with a gun, which he fired' after them, one of the men being’ bruised on the hip by the wad, and the other receiving a pellet in the thumb. Neither man informed the police, who acted in consequence of public talk, and arrested Thurston. He was brought before the Court, charged with attempting to kill, and remanded for eight days. The police made a search of his premises, and discovered eight bottles of whisky and a quantity of other liquor. Six bottles of whisky were found buried in the garden, and probably another charge as a result of the discovery will be made.
