AUGUSTA, Sept. 22.-Alger Dudley, %
years of age, was arraigned in the Municipal
Court this afternoon for an attack made on
William E. Gilley, Thursday evening.
Gilley was calling ON a young lady named
Nellie L. Clark, at her fathers house, locat-
ed on the river road, four miles above the
city, when an iron bar three feet in length
and weighing 25 pounds came crashin G
through the window within few inches Of
the young mans head. 1t was also found
that the breeching straps of the harness on
Gilley's horse at the door had been i'm
booked, Mrs. HARDWOOD, who slept in the
house, ran out of doors and swore that she
saw suddenly fleeing in the darkness not
ten feet away from her. He recognized in
the sum of 500 for his appearance at the
December term Of court, and the judge
informed him if he ever got drunk again he
would put him under $500 bonds to keep the
peace. He had formerly been engaged to
Miss Clark and she had broken it off because
of his drunkenness. He was evidently a
victim of jealousiy.
