Minutes.

most prominent and popular German
citizens, was attacked with apoplexy,

hour. He had not been in the most
robust health for some time, but was
as well as usual when he took his
seat at the table with his family. He
had eaten a plate of soup with ap-
parent relish when he suddenly fell
forward upon the table, breathing
heavily. He was as sisted to his bed
where he fingered for about half an
hour, suffering intensely until death
came as sweet relief from pain.
The deceased was born in Canton

June, 1893, came to this country about
81 years ago and settled in Cincin-
natl, but afterwards removed to
Memphis, Tennessee, where he was
residing when the war broke out.

Federal troops he left there and re-

BILE in the majority of popular farce

RECKLESS SHOOTING.

A Special Policeman Uses His Pistol Very
Hastily.
Residents in the southeastern portion
of the city, in the vicinity of Fifth av-
enue and Fifth street, were startled
Sunday night by two reports of pistol
and the voice of man crying murder.
Soon after this there were several po-
lice signals sounded.
An investigation proved that
Special Officer Poindexter who
had been assigned to that locality,
spied a man coming down an alley
between Fifth and Sixth streets
and ordered him to halt. Instead of
doing so, the man ran, whereupon the
policeman fired two shots at him, caus-
ing him to cry for help. The police
man then sounded whistle and caused
great uproar.
1t was discovered Yesterday morning
that the gentleman assailed was Edward
Cannaday, who had been out to call on
some ladies and was returning home.
AS it was very dark he could not tell
who commanded him to halt He
thought it was highwayman, and
being unarmed took to his heels.
He was more frightened than ever when
the bullets whizzed by his head, and
thought sure an attempt was made to
murder him.
Mr.. Cannady swore out warrant for
Poinde Xter's arrest yesterday evening.
1t was executed by Policeman Eanes,
but no disposition of the matter was
made, only that Chief Of Police Brown
will not allow him to work until the
case is settled. Poindexter was seen
last night by TIMES reporter, but
refused to say anything about the
shooting, stating that he was acting
under the advice of his counsel.
