IN COUNTY JAIL AFTER SHOOTING Alfred Job, Sr., and Alfred Job, Jr., are under indictments for shooting at John Cole- man. The bond of the young man was fixed at $2500 and that of the old gentleman at $1500. Not being able to furnish bond, they are now guests at the hotel de Lockhart. John Coleman and the Jobs, who are neighbors, living a few miles east of town, have not been getting along pleasantly for some years. About a year ago the Jobs became somewhat aggressive and made things interesting for Coleman by shooting at him. This was very annoying to Coleman, as it interfered with his work of washing gold from the soil of his ranch, and like a man who has respect for the law he made complaint against them. The last grand jury did not have time to go into details of the case, which was con- tinued over until the present term, with the above results. It is high time that this pleasant pastime of shooting at neighbors should be stopped.
