Columbus Enquirer-Sun: Full particu-
lars, the entire correctness of which can
not yet be vouched for, of the Allen-Lowe
tragedy, were learned by an EnQuirer-Sun
reporter upon the arrival or sunday
nights boat. A gentleman on board re-
ceiVed the information during snort stop
made by the boat at Blountstown, near
the scene Of the tragedy 1t seems that
Lowe, the murdered man, was engaged IN
taking off "A line where they had hung up
to dry some bed clothing which had fall
len into the river Allen objected TO his
moving them, to which Lowe paid no at
tention. The controversy then become
quarrel. and Allen entered the covered
part of the boat, and returned with
pistol in his hand. Lowe still persisted i'm
his intention to take the clothing OIL the
line, so Allen opened fire upon MIN. II
is said that two shots were fired, when
Lowe turned upon Allen and choked him
TO the ground. Bill Ellison, the white
who were also on the house boat at the
time, at this juncture pulled Lowe of.
Then, II is said, Allen fired the remaining
three shots. Lowe was wounded several
times one bullet striking him in the side,
inflicting fatal wound. Ellison then took
the pistol and threw it into the river.

cook to seek medical assistance Tor the
wounded man and to notify the authori-

Allen from leaving the boat. The wound

the affair but he replied that it wasn't
necessary as he wasn't going to die"
Allen is now in jail and is said to be in
calm state of mind, and not to regard
his position so fearfully as it would ap-
pear to be from the accounts that have
reached here of the tragedy. This fact
has led many Of his friends to believe
that there were eXtenuating features In
the incident that led up TO the shooting
1t is said that Lowe had accepted a po-
sition to work on lumber camp further
down the river, and was soon to leave
the house boat. 1t is believed that he in
tended to carry with him the bed clothes
to which he had no right, and that this
was the direct cause of the shooting.
Macon Evening News: Trainmaster
Begg and other officials of the Southern
went TO the scene of the wreck at Stone
creek, near Macon, Tuesday. Dr. Will
Jams also went in order to render medi-
cal attention TO some of the injured, who
are at their homes near Reid's station. The
Southern's officials have no other idea
than that the accident was due to the
work of wreckers. They assert positively
that the timbers in the trestle were per-
fectly sound and all the cross ties in
good condition. superintendent Beauprie
had two men enter the creek and drag
1t thoroughly. Among the things found
was an iron claw bar used In extracting
railroad spikes. An angle bar has also
been found and a screw. The proof is
positive that the angle bar and screw
were removed from the rail that was dis
placed. The claw bar was found in sew
en- feet of water right at the trestle where
the rail was removed. There are no I'M
favorable reports from persons injured in
the wreck. somewhat sensational ru-
NOR is heard concerning the motive which
may have prompted certain parties to
wreck the Southern train. few days
ago, it will ba remembered, a negro nam
ed Redding was shot and killed on Con-
ductor Lowrey's train. 1t was charged
at the time that both Conductor LoWrey
and Baggagemaster Wippler had a hand
in the difficulty with the negro, though
nothing was proven against these gen
tlemen. The negro Redding had brother
named John Redding, who lives near the
scene of the wreck, and who is considered
one of the most desperate characters in
that section. 1t is said this negro told
at least two other negroes that he would

neighborhood, although he was at his
home the day before the wreck. 1t also
tTdnSpHSS IndL lue crew VI the MItchtu
train was the same crew in charge of
the train on which the negro Redding
was killed. This crew alternates regular
" with another crew, and it is believed
John Redding knew this. Detectives are
working on this theory, as well as the
one connecting the negro Nelson with the
wreck. Nelson is the negro who was tried
for wrecking the train at Scotland. He
was acquitted. though every one, except
the jury, believed him guilty. He is said
to have threatened vengeance after his
acquittal. He. too, has disappeared.
