For the Arrest of George Hudson,
 Shot to Death,
And Two Others Very Badly Wounded by Hudson and
 His Father-StiIl at Large.

About 250 o'clock yesterday afternoon Deputies Charlie Cole and Jim Smith went to the house of old man Robert Hudson with the intention of arresting him and his son. Both of them had been seen to 20 into the house, as they had just arrived from the city, where they had been all morning. The Hudsons left here at 120 and arrived at Coalburg about thirty min- utes later.
 Cole and Smith walked in the door of the little two-room box house occupied by Hudson and family of four children, and found both of them at home. The old man was sitting upon the side of bed holding his baby. George was standing up in one corner of the room.
 The old man and his son, who are des- perate charac rs, were on the lookout for officers, and the officers knew that they had two bad men to deal with.
 When the officers made known the mean ing of their visit Winchesters were grabbed and pistols pulled. Then followed five shots. three being fired by the old man and son and two by the deputies. A general scramble took place, and Charlie Cole fell over on the bed, upon which old man Hud- son hal been sitting, shot through the breast, and dead man. After the bullet struck his breast he never spoke.
 Smith was shot through the bowels and disarmed by George Hudson. Smith then ran out into the yard and would have been shot again but for tine pleadings ot the son, who asked his father not to shoot again.
 The last bullet ever fired by brave-Gharlia Cole did not go wide of its mark, for he aimed It at the old mans hand in order to keep from being shot by Winchester that was then aimed at him and in the hands of desperado. The bullet from Coles pistol hit the old man. s hand but did not keep it from being instrumental in firing his Winchester.
 After the shooting the old man and George went over to the Coalburg depot, which is weather-worn box car beside the Georgia Pacific track at Coalburg station. They stayed there few min utes, went back to the scene of the murder, took the guns of the dead and wounded men, a full supply of ammunition and went for the woods, short distance away.
 WHERE DEPUTY COLE DIED.
 The place of the first shooting is about fifty yards from the Sloss company's Coal burg office and 125 feet east of the Georgia Pacific depot. The house is box shanty with two rooms, withlthe outside white washed and the inside of the rooms papered with sheets of daily newspapers and maga- zine covers.
 A door at the front, one at the back and two small windows furnish entrance and light to the two rooms. At the east side is a garden filled with vegetables and in which Gp, faIl 1aI ba ;e cuped by Mrs. Hudson, daughter and baby, her second son having been arrested and brought to town last night.
 SOLDIERS ON THE SCENE.
 As soon as possible after Sheriff Morrow received information of the shooting he arranged for a special train, which, after some time, was started for Coalburg, car- rying posse of deputies and detachment of fifty soldiers under the command of Captain Allen. At the same time the sheriff procured dogs from Pratt mines and Superintendent Moore, with deputies upon horses. Dogs and horses for men were also gotten at Coalburg and met the special train about three miles this side of that place, and other soldiers from Camp Forney met the special at that place.
 Information was received that the des- peradoes, father and son, were near that point and were last seen making towards East Lake.
 Sentinels were posted all along the line of the railroad where it was thought they would be more than likely to cross over in their flight.
 Part of the detachment sent from here was then carried over to Coalburg, as was also Sheriff Morrow's posse of deputies. MORE BLOOD.
 few minutes aftert the special arrived at Coalburg crack from Winchester ~as heard upon the side of summit overlook ing Coalburg. The report was followed by fusilade of shots fired both by the desperadoes, who, being secreted near tho top of the mountain, had all the advantage,
