Wilsonville, Ca, June 5.-Editor Morning
News Please allow me space in your
paper to correct errors about the shooting
of Alex Billiard, at my place on last Sat-
urday night. What was published in the
paper on Tuesday was incorrect 1t was
at first claimed the shooting was an acct
dent, also that Billiard did it himself. in
trying to shoot the sheriff. This is untrue.
There are witnesses that will certify to
that effect Billiard made no threats
whatever, nor attempt to shoot anyone
They run on him, and he did not know
what they meant. They never showed
any warrant until after they had shot him
| went out and asked them what was the
trouble. Then they told me they had a
warrant against him for an Illegal arrest
on Willie Kite. Sheriff Mcclellan and
John Cason of Ware county run on Billiard
about II o'clock Saturday night with a
pistol and Winchester rifle in his face. and
it was some time before he knew who they
We're, or what they meant. Billiard caught
hold of the end of John Cason's pistol Ca
son told him to turn loose or he would
shoot him; that it was already cooked
Billiard told them not to shoot him, and
said: What do you fellows mean, or
what do you want?" About that time I
asked what was the trouble. Cason shot
Billiard, while Billiard had hold of Ca
sons pistol barrel, the ball striking him in
VIC pam VI his AiBll manu. ana coming
out above the wrist, then striking him
about an inch below his right nipple in
the breast. Bullard had no weapons. nor
made any fight upon Cason nor Mcclellan
Whatever. In regard TO the warrant at
Blackshear it can be proved by the sheriff
of Blackshear that Billiard wrote him he
was ready TO surrender at any time for the
case would not amount to anything any,

a knife when he struck him with a rifle.
which, II is supposed, caused the negro's
death. In regard to Billiard making any
threats about Mcclellan, he knew nothing
or Mcclellan having a warrant for him
In regards to Willie Kite being arrested
by Billiard; there was a man in Laurens
county by the name OF Martin who lost A
mule and buggy He offered 500 reward
for the parties who stole them He wrote
10 several parties at Nichols. Ca, saving
he believed that Willie Kite was the man
that stole them. Kite was i'm that county
and left there the same night the mule

LATEST DISCOVERIES AND IN.
PROVEMENTS.

Abbo has received the most improved
instructions in analytical and microsco-
pical examinations of the blood urine,
ETC., which are now considered indispensa-
be to correct diagnosis in many diseases.
He has also an extensive supply of the
latest and best professional apparatus
for the treatment of different diseases. by
modern methods embracing many which
are but seldom found outside of large
cities. There are many diseases which
physicians in common practice do not u.s.
ually treat and are therefore seldom pre-
pared with necessary and costly outfits to
examine correctly or treat with success.
Such cases. therefore, would do well to
call at once to learn their true condition,
and whether the doors of hope are vet
open or forever closed against you.
