SHOT OVER A GAME OF "sKIN."
Cuyler Jones Puts a Bullet in John
Brown at a Guyton Frolic-


Guyton had its Saturday night tragedy,
in which dispute over game of cards
among negroes was settled by one OF the
gamblers sending ball from a 3S-caliber
Smith 81 Wesson revolver into the neck of
the other, and from the wound the man
will die. The principals in the tragedy
were Cuyler Jones the shooter, and John
Brown the victim.
The party who committed the deed
stalked boldly away in full view OF thirty
or forty negroes who witnessed the deed,
and is still at large. Brown was lingering
Yesterday with but three chances in hun
dred to live.
The particulars, as near as can be ascer-
tanned, are as follows: A festival was in
progress at the house of Judy West,
colored woman who lives in the outskirts of
the village, and a lot of turpeneine hands
were present engaged in the colored mans
favorite gambling pastime-the game of
Skin" Brown claimed to have won the
pool, and arose to quit the game, when
Jones disputed the claim. Brown went
walked up close to Brown and putting the
revolver to his head fired. The ball struck
the temporal bone ard gianclng passed into
the neck or head near the base of the BRAIN
Brown fell heavily to the floor, and Jones
left the house without challenge. DIR.
Lanier, who was called in, made an ex-
animation of the wound, but could not
locate the ball.
The principals in the affair were clippers
on S. S. TiSon's turpentine farm and are
from South Carolina. Brown is a man of
family, and was regarded as a very quiet
and peaceable man, while Jones is said to
have the reputation of being a dangerous
character, and it is rumored that he had
killed one or two men while living in Caro-
lima. He is said to be large, burly fellow,
very black and always goes armed 1t is
thought at Guyton that when he left the
rection of this city.
Up to yesterday no steps had been taken
to apprehend the criminal There is, said a
Guytonian, who was discussing the matter
yesterday, laxity in such matters that
needs attention, and he added that the peo-
pie of Efingham think it time that the law
lessness among the dangerous classes should
be suppressed. The turpentine hands have
regular Saturday night gatherings at Gny.
ton, NARROW and other stations where the
negroes are paid off, and festivals, in which
gambling is one of the principal features,
are common. 1t was pay day at Guyton
last Saturday, and that was the cause of
the turpentine hands assembling at the
place where the shooting occurred.
Those who witnessed the shooting of
Brown were paralyzed with fear. They
looked upon Jones as a desperate, who
would shoot any man who intercepted his
flight, and for this reason they were unwil-
ling to give the alarm until he was out of
sight. 1t was then after 10 o'clock at night,
and no one interested himself enough to go
in pursuit of the refugee.
