GAINESVILLE, Ga, January 6 vii
liam Thomasson and Grant Burrell
fell out at Pine Mountains about the
ownership of some still tubs in pos
session of the former, and fought with
an Ak, using the weapon alternately.
Thomasson's turn came first, and he
threw the ak at Burrell, breaking the
latter's thumb, and cutting severe
cash in his left thigh, just above the
knee. Burrell then seized the weapon
in both hands, and with his whole
might hurled it at his Antagonist
who had by this time turned to run
striking him edge-foremost in the
back, just beneath one of his shoulder
blades, cutting his clothing and sever
ing three of his ribs, entering his
lungs from the rear.
Burrell, by this time, thoroughly
Infatuated, ran after his victim
with the dripping axe uplifted, and
once mcr3 sunk it into his back.
Thomasson fell, MORALLY wounded,
and died in few minutes. He was
cut up frightfully. AS Burrell raised
the row, feeling runs strong aclinst
him. He fled to the South Carolina
side of the river, where he was Sc
creted by relatives. Last night, how
ever, he returned to his home, where
he whipped his wife until she was
almost dead, because he had heard
that she condemned his murder Of
Thomasson. He then recrossed the
river, and, secure among his friends,
defies arrest.

The Roanoke light Infantry,

The Roanoke Light Infantry had a
very enthusiastic meeting last night
at their armory. Several, new men,
bers were elected and the company
discussed the feasibility Of buying a
lot and building an armory. They
decided in futherance of the plan to
form a stock company, in which
forty-seven, shares, at 800 a share,
were taken. : A committee was APP
pointed to form a minstrel company
of members of the light infantry,
which will give an entertainment in
the course of a few weeks. The
treasurer reported nice balance, and
altogether, the condition OF the com
pany is very prosperous one. An
order was passed requesting the gov
ernor to allow an increase Of mem
bership from fifty-seven to 100, and
Captain Brooke was given charge of
the correspondence.

CASES POSTPONED.
The Latest Phases OF the War Being
Waged by Melissa McGlumphrey.

The cases of Mrs. Miller and her daugh-
ters. and others, charged by Melissa Nc
Glumphrey with keeping houses of ill
fame. selling liquor, not being persons Of
good fame. etc, were called before Justice
Peterman, yesterday morning, but there
being no witnesses present, the cases
were postponed until this morning.
1t was stated yesterday that Melissa has
determined 10 carry on her war Of revenge
upon a somewhat larger scale than hereto
fore, and IL was asserted as an earnest OF
this intention, that she had warrants issued
"a few days ago, before Justice Peterman,
for two policy men, and that the arrests
were made. but when the cases came up
for hearing, the Justice allowed them to
be compromised by the payment Of some
thing like $3.50 costs and the defendants
were allowed TO go, instead Of being held to
the grand jury If guilty, OF dismissed with
out cost TO them, If innocent. Medium
phrey's motive in causing these arrests,
and others which she has either threatened
or actually brought about, Is alleged to
be a hope on her part that the parties made
defendants by her will bring pressure TO
bear on Chief of Police Delbruggc and his
men. and cause them to ''let up on her
BY what process Of reasoning Melissa ar
rives at the conclusion that by getting
other people INTO tfOuOIc sue C'h hccP "u'
of trouble herself, is not apparent.
Melissa's husband. William Medium
phrev. went to Officer Shorts night or
two ago. and threatened that official that
.'unless he used his influence with the
Captain he would prefer charges against I,

ed him any attempt in the direction he had |
Indicated would only recoil upon himself
On the other hand the authorities are |

iissa. and altogether, the prospects are |
that we shall have interesting, if not
