FRED COGSWELL, FORMERLY OF
THIS CITY,
Shoots and Kills J. II. Alexander
At GraysOn's Landing,
Below Memphis.

Information wasreceived by the po-
lies yesterday of fatal affIay on Sun.
day last at Grsyson's, a landing about
twelve miles below the city on the
Mississippi river. when Fred Cogswell
shot and killed James X. Alexander.
An APPEAL man yesterday Obtained
a statement from Cogswell's father,
which gives his side of the case accu-
rately. His story is as follows: Alex
ander was once a prosperous farmer
rear GrsysoD, cultivating last year
tract Of 200 acres. This year, how
ever, he has but seventy-hve acres, or
probably less, and hiss been drinking
very heavily. He bee smes wild and
almost insane when under the influ.
ence of liquor, and On such occasions
his neighboIs give him vide berth.
He has had a special fondness for an
noying Cogswell, and about two
months ago broke open his stO re. door
with a rail, which he used bat eIiDg-
ram fashion. At another time he
pressed Cogswell SO hard as 10 force
him 10 take refuge ina loft over his own
store. Last Saturday night he was 60
wild with drink that his own brother,
who YVES engaged in paying of hands,
had to shut up shop and get out of his
way. Sunday evening, while under
the influence Of whisky he vert into
Cogswel's store and roundly cursed
him, applying to him the fullest aud
most degrading epithets. Two negroes
who were in the store at the Tina, one
OF whom had been shot by Alexander
on former occasioD, GIT out of the
way AID left the pair alone in the
store toge her. Alexander stared he
hiud tie counter TO get a pistol, bui
G gswell was too quick for Uim and to
save his own Ifs fired. Alexa lder

Black Gets In His Usual Home Run
The Nashville Game
To Day.

Black PLAYED in hard luck yester-
day. After pitching eight innings with

the visitors down to three bin s, he SUD.
denly, in the ninth inning, allowed
The visitors to get on to his delivery
10 the extent OF three successive safe
hits, resulting in two earned runs and
turning defeat into victory. IL is p,r-
ticularly unfortunate for Black, b
cause if he had held up for one inning
longer he would have had the credit
not only OF winning game from At
lanta, but of having pitched the most
effective game yet pitched by any of
cur pitchers again st the powerful slug
gers of the Atlanta te m. As il is, his
reputation asa pitcher is bound to
suffer, baseball experts being unwill-
ing TO pin their faith to a man who
collspees when victory is almost as.

ton Of yesterday will be accepted as
conclusive, and that Mr.. Blacks un.
doubted merits as a bali player will
hereafter be utilized where they are
likely to bring about the bat results,

playing, in which he certainly hiss no

OF yes, erday's game it would be
unjust to tpsak except in terms OF
pra Sc, the nelding of both mines being
almost perfect, especially in center
field, where both Whit .hssd aud
Moore made surprising catches, con-
verting apparently safe hits into or
rors. But for the fine fielding OF DO h
mines the score might have been
doubled.
Blacks home run in the teventh
inning, when the score was l to 0
against Memphis, was the striking
feature OF the game. Whitehead aud
Sne:d also did good work with the
stick, b,th making hits that brought
