minal Railway Company, and a man
prominent in local politics, was shot
twice and almost instantly killed by
DR.. George l. Garrison. The latter is q
member of the state board of health.
and late health officer of the city. The
murder was the outgrowth of feud of
more than a years standing. and the
crime created the widest excitement.
Many threats of lynching were
made against the murderer. About
% o'clock Saturday morning the
two men met at the Second ward
market and had some words. They
separated, but about half-past 10 DR..
Baird drove past DR.. Garrison, who was
standing at Market and Eleventh
streets. AS DIR. Baird passed DIR. Car
rison said to friend: "There is going
to be trouble" He then walked up
Eleventh street and stopped DR..
Baird at the corner of an alley.
The two talked for a moment and
DR.. Baird drove on about 50 feet
aud alighted to see patient. AS DR..
Garrison came up he had revolver in
his hand and said: ''Take that back,
DOCTOR" DR.. Baird replied: II don't
have to take it back" DIR. Garrison

~ turned squarely toward him

The ball took effect in Baird's left
eye, the first shot having entered
behind the right ear. DR.. Baird walked
in store. said that DIR. Garrison had
shot him, took off his gloves, and was
dead in ten minutes. DR.. Garrison
walked down the street holding his re-
volver until he met policeman, to

Office, allowing Garrison to draw the
pay and attend lectures in Baltimore
On being elected to second term, beat
ing DIR. Baird's son, there was fall
ing out, and Garrison had Baird ar

counter in the city hall last August,
when Baird was knocked down. Since
then Garrison has threatened to kill
Baird, and Saturdays horrible tragedy
was the inevitable end. DR.. Baird
graduated in James G.. Rlaine's class at

The train was entirely new, the cars
not having been in service quite a
month. The loss to the company, in
Guiding death and accident claims, will
not fall short of $780, An unusually
small number of passengers were
aboard the train, and this accounts
for the small loss of life. The people
in the sleepers were not injured, but
had to make their way for a mile
through the terrible storm to shelter
without their shoes or much clothing.
