FATAL SHOOTING AFFAIR — On last Wednesday evening about 4 o'clock, Mr. B. B. Lee was shot and killed by Mr. Joseph Farr, in the saloon kept by Mr. G. H. Wheeler.  We have heard several causes assigned for the commission of the deed by Farr, but as they are so much at variance we refrain from giving additional publicity to them rather than do an injustice to either party.  Mr. Lee was shot in four different places, and expired in a few moments.  Lee was a married man, and leaves a devoted wife to mourn his loss.  The Coroner's jury returned a verdict that Mr. B. B. Lee came to his death by reason of wounds inflicted by a pistol in the hands of Mr. Joseph Farr.  Mr. Farr, after the shooting, mounted a horse and left town, without being arrested, and is still at large.

As Mr. Farr will doubtless be tried by a jury of his countrymen, we suspend any opinion on the subject.
