TRAGEDY AT HtLE's POINT
One Man Killed and Another
WsUnded-AII AhOut Some
Rails.

HALE's POINT, Tenn, April 5, 1882
EDITOR LEDGER:-Yesterda about
4 o'clock pm. difficulty occurred at
this place between G. B. Tanner and
w. 0. Sugg, in which Sugg was very
seriously cut with knife, and Tanner
was shot in the bowels and died this
morning about 5 o'clock.
The circumstances of the difficulty
are as follows On yesterday morning
Mr.. Tanner called to see Mr.. Sugg
about some fence rails that had been
hoated by the overflow from Tanners
place on Sugg's place, and requested
the privilege of removing the rails.
Mr.. Sugg agreed for Tanner to take
the rails, provided Tanner would allow
him to take some Of his rails which
foated on Tanners place. MIR. Tanner
went off apparently satisfied. About
3 o'clock pm. Tanner rode up to where
Sugg and some hands were putting up
fence, and addressing Sugg, said that
none OF Sugg's rails had foated on his
place. Sugg replied that he knew
better, when Tanner replied, "You
are liar" at the same time dis
mounting from his horse and draw
ing pistol, and continued abusing
Sugg, who replied:
"Mr. Tanner, | am unarmed; but il
nothing but a fight will do you. and il
you will lay that pistol down, you
/ aannof oo1i mn liar
Tanner replied will Sugg, | will
do it," and at the same time threw
the pistol, a 80 calibre Smith & Wes-
son improved, to the ground, and
walked off about twenty feet from it,
Then Sugg advanced upon him, and
when about six feet from each other
Tanner drew knife and said Twill
Sugg, will kill you" Sugg stopped
and picked up stick, and they closed.
Tanner made strike with the knife,
which entered Suggs' left cheek just
below the temple, laying it open to the
bone and passing clear to the corner
Of his mouth. Sugg struck Tanner
with his stick, which proved to be a
piece of rotten driftwood, and shivered
| 10 pieces in his hand. On finding
himself cut, Sugg wrenched himself
loose from Tanner and started on a
run for home to get his gun, but
seeing Tanners pistol where he had
thrown it, he picked it up just as
Tanner overlook him. Tanner again
grasped him, and in the tussel Tanner
was thrown and Suyg fell on top Tan
ner made another lick at Sugg' s throat,
and would evidently have cut it, but
Sugg grasped his hand with the knife
in it, cutting his own hand severely
but holding it firmly until he could
get the pistol upon Tanners person
when he pulled the trigger and sent :
ball through him, which proved
death shot.
G. b. Tanner was about twenty
eight years old, and leaves younl
wife to mourn his loss. W. 0. Sugg i
a young man, twenty-five years old
sober and quiet, and never had am
trouble with anyone before.

SUBSIDIARY COINS.
The Growing Demand in the
south for Pennies.
Special to the Courier-Journal.l

Special to the Courier-Journal.l
WASHINGTON, April 3.-From the
demands made upon the mint at Phila.
delphia, and reported at the Treasury
Department, it is evident that there
is big penny boom in the South.
The South has heretofore refused to
recognize the pennies in the daily
business Of its merchants. The five
cent piece is the lowest denomination
that it would consent to handle. In
making change for articles purchased
the merchant has always prO6ted by
this practice where the balance due
the customer was less than five cents.
But now there is departure. The
people in the section interested have
realized the fact that the one cent
piece is very good thing in its way.
AS result, many orders for one cent
pieces, or pennies, are being received
at the treasury from sections where
they have heretofore been practically
unknown

Yorick's Love.

The argument Of this play, TO be
performed here next week, is as fol
lows. "The time OF the play is in the
days Of Shakespeare; the plot a very
strong but simple one. Yorick, the
Comedian Of the Globe Theater, is
married TO Mistress Alice, the leading
lady at the same playhouse, who is a
very beautiful woman, and much his
junior. His foster son, Edmund, also
an actor. who owes everything in life
TO YoFick, falls in love with Alice, and
she returns that affection. Walton,
the leading actor Of the Globe, discov.
er. their love, and being jealous Of
Yorick professionally, concludes to
acquaint him with the state Of affairs.
Master Haywood, the manager OF the
theater, also has noticed that the two
have fallen 10 love. and endeayors to
keep the knowledge from Yoriek.
Master WollOrd has written a play in
which the chief characters are a loving
husband, faithless wife. and an I'M
grateful ward. These characters are
taken By Yorick, Mistress Alice and
Master Edmund, and gradually the
truth is unlolded until the end Of the
play. The last act is on the stage at
the Globe Theater, and during the
scene Walton hands Yorick a letter
written by Edmund TO Alice. Yorick
becomes Infatuated, and, IN the fen.
cling scene, actually kills Edmund"
