A MURDEROUS ATTACK

[press association.] (Received Nov. 5, 10JO a.m.) SYDNEY., Mov. 5. A serious shooting affray occurred at Blayney yesterday. Two men and a woman were driving in a sulky when they were overtaken by another sulky, driven by' a man named Wheeler, who :£red three shots from a rifle at the <iecupants of the first vehicle.

The woman was wounded in tho arm, one man seriously wounded by. a bullet in the # body, anil^ the other man escaped injury. Wheeler then placed the woman in his own sulky, and drove ro'ff. He was subsequently arrested.

It is supposed that' Wiheeler's aotion was due to jealousy. •
