A man named Murfree got into a difficulty with his overseer, named Young.--Murfree attempted to shoot Young, when Mrs. Young came forward and begged him not to shoot her husband. Murfree fired and the ball took effect in the woman's hand.

Murfree was supposed to be laboring under effects of mania-a-potu.
