Albany Ne,US and Advertiser: The list of
homicides that have occurred in Dougherty
county the past few months was swelled on
Monday by a tragedy that occurred in West
near the line of Calhoun. Reese
Potter and Lewis Quertermau were the
principals. They live on Col Lamsr's Daw-
son place, and were neighbors. For some
time Quarterman has been ensmored of the
charms Of Potter's wife, aad never missed
an opportunity of paying her attention.
Potter naturally resented these at
.entions, and demonstrated with Quar-
'erman on the subject, but his remon-
'trances were of no avail. The two men
having had some words on the subject,
Potter went TO Churchman's house on
Monday about IL O'Clock, determined to
seek difficulty. He soon had the difficulty
that he sought, as Quarterman was not in
mood to stand much of his abuse. The
difficulty led to blows, aud finally Potter
killed Quarterman. Late Tuesday after
noon Coroner Gran Olson VIM was notified
Of the killing. and was summoned to hold
an inquest. 1t being impossible 10 secure
jury in the country, twelve jurors were
from the city, and they left for
the scene Of the tragedy just before night
The officers were also notified that Potter,
after killing bis adversary, made good his
escape, aud had not been seen since. Deputy
Sheriff Goodwin went out TO be on the look
put, and. if possible, apprehend the fugi-
i've.
