LYONS, GA, June 16.-H. II. McCannon.
a subtle contractor on the Savannah and

O'Clock Saturday morning near his home,
about mile and half from town. Four
teen buckshot horribly lacerated his right

Simultaneous. The wound in the breast in
dicated that the gun was pressed close

fired. II is presumed, therefore, that the
assassin, after bringing McCannon TO the
ground with the first barrel, rushed upon
him and fired the second, as described
above.

McCannon had been tardy in settling &C.
counts with his employees, and this fact
leads some people tn believe that the crime
IS the work Of negro, made revengefuI
because he failed to get money due him
when it was expected. McCannon, how
ever, had gained the ill-will of good
many white men, and some people believe
that one of these fired the murderous
shots.
He was IS years old and leaves bride.
