Shot In Face After Picnic

Pinckney, Aug. 16. -- At a dance held here last evening after the conclusion of the big picnic, there were among the visitors seven or eight young men from Hamburg. They filled up generously on booze, and soon got into a fighting mood. They announced that they were the whole thing, and they had made the trip to Pinckney for the sole purpose of cleaning out the town.

They hunted about for trouble and finally found it. Guy Hinchey was their first victim. The entire gang set on him, but help was at hand. Guy's brother Roff came to his rescue, and a beautiful scrap ensued. The two brothers proved to be more than a match for the Hamburg bullies. The latter were being thrashed in a most approved manner, when suddenly a shot was fired, and Will Zebe, one of the Hamburg youths, fell to the ground. The bullet struck his left cheek bone and made a flesh wound. It is not serious.

The Hamburg men quickly scattered, leaving the Hinchey boys victors. It is not known who fired the shot, but it is believed one of Zebe's companions fired a revolver to scare the Hinchey boys. An officer has gone to Hamburg to arrest the young men.
