with club. In addition to all which, sn
inspection of his pockets revealed he was
minus large amount of cash and no

A FATAL FEOLIC.
The Terrible Tragedy Which
Was Enacted at a Country
Residence.
The Leaer Of a CharIvari Party is
Accidentally Killed by One of
His Comrades.

Meagre particulars OF a fatal tragedy
which took place In the western part OF the
county late Christmas night, reached this
city yesterday evening. As near as could be
learned they are as follows: At late hour
on the evening above mentioned crowd of
fit. en- or TWENTY young men residing In
the reighborhood, under the leadership of
a youug farmer named Joseph Robinson,
paid visit TO the residence of K. ID. Tice,
uho had on that day been married to

Pat Thatcher, farmer residing about two
miles norGh of Gresnridge, for the purpose
of treating the newly welded couple

were we'll equipped with shOt-guns, revolt
yers, tin horns aud other instruments
needed in making the hideous noises usual
on such occf SONS. On arriving at the resi-
deuce the crowd commenced marching
around the house, shooting off their weap-
ons, blowing their horus and ringing their
bells. AS they were passing around the
house the second time, the leader OF the
party was noticed by his comrades to fall
10 The ground. They rushed to his side
and asked what was the matter. He re-
piled, "Pm shot" He was then picked up
and carried in the house, where he soon
expired. An examination of his person Ie-
vealed terrible gun-shCt wound In his
right side, just above the hip. The flesh
around the wound was badly burned.
The fatal suot is supposed to have been
fired by one of Robinson's comrades, and
to have b en- purely accidental. The body
remained in the house where it had been
carried, until yesterday morning, when 1t
was conveyed to the residence of Hardin
Robinson, father of the deceased, about
ten mics due west of this city. An inquest
will probably be held to-day.
| The sad affair has cast gloom over the
entire neighborhood where the young man
was well-known, he having been bern and
raised in that locality. He was about SO
years of age and single, having Deen di-
vorced from his wife, nee Miss Melissa
Breeder, to whom he was married about
ten years ago. He was the main support

reporter learned the particulars of a killing
which took place in that city early yesteI-
day morning. The tragedy was enacted
in Browns hall during the progress of a
Iegro dance. Two women, Lou Hamm, a
notorious character, and Bette Allen, sis
ter of George Allen, got into a free fight,
in which Lou Hamm, lost pOr ton Of her
lower lip, which was torn away by the
other woman's teeth. John Allen mad
some words with his sister in-law over the
matter, when George Alle1, Joe Robinson
and others attacked John. He then, in
company with his wife, Matte Allen, lett
the hall, and procuring an ak returned.
John began looking for GeoEge, who re-
sponded by drawing a revolver and point
ing il at John. Matte cried 10 him not to
shoot, but George deliberately fired, the
ball taking effect in Johns breast, near the
collar bone, causing almost instant death.
The affair has caused considerable excite
ment among the negroes, but no trouble is
expected. George Allen escar2d for the
time, bat gave himself up later, and will
have hearing tomorrow. The deceased
was formerly q resident OF Quincy, out
yiih his wife removed to Hanicsl four
months since. Although he had Let one
hand at the wrist he wss a hard laborer
