moment he was put into the shafts of a
dray. That is to say if the dray was load
or nearly So, the Dodger step
ped out gayly, but if he found it at all
heavy he affected to fall dead lame,
More than once with a new driver this
trick had succeeded to perfection, and the
Dodger found himself back again in his
stau with a rack Of hay before him. while
his deluded owner or driver was trying to

In order to induce the DOdger to act his

Outraged, the Dodger uttered a groan but

to be quite sound but the moment had

forward, and, pulling first one cunning
ear on the alert for every word and then
other, cried:

He Is Not Likely to Die From His
Wounds.

ne is Not Likely TO Die From His
Wounds.
William Jones, the negro who was shot
by J. c. Dodson at Cherry Hill Saturday
morning, is in no danger of dying. An
account of the shooting was published in
yesterdays Morning News
When seen at the Georgia Indrmary yes
terday by Morning News reporter Jones
was resting fairly WELL though suffering
considerable pain from his wounds. His
right arm and shoulder were thiclxlv
sprinkled with duck shot. His account Of
the shooting did not differ materially from
that given by Dodson. except that he
claims that he made no attempt to draw
any weapon or gave any other cause of
the shooting.
Jones said that he was lying on the
ground asleep at his camp when a white
man and a negro came up. The old
negro, he said, wanted the white man to
search him. He refused to be searched,
and the white man shot him. He fell to
the ground with the blood pouring from
his mouth and nose. He thought ne was
killed but finding that he did not die
he attempted to make his way to the
railroad track where he might signal a
train and get brought into the city. lie was
too feeble from loss of blood, however
and lay down about 100 yards from the
track. where he was found by the coroner
and Dodson several hours later
Jones was not inclined to say much
about himself. When asked what he was
doing camped in the woods he said tina
disease. He said he had been there sew
eral days. but would not say how lone
Jones said that he was from Chattanooga
and that he had worked at railroading and
in hotels. When asked what he was do
ing i'm this part of the country he said
he was just knocking about. Judging by
his appearance and what he said of him
self there is little doubt but that he is
