Burlington, July 25—As a result of an affray between Floyd Miles, a negro who lives near Ossippee, and his wife, the man is in a local hospital with a bullet in his body and not expected to recover. It is alleged that Miles attempted to give his wife an old-time beating and had not proceeded far when his wife got a gun and stopped the husband by firing a bullet into his body. The bullet penetrated the liver and the negro is in a critical condition. It is not known what caused the trouble between the negro and his wife.
