GAINESVILLE, April %. 90 Special. -
The killing OF William Bowers by George
W. Hite, at Five Forks on Tuesday last
was a more unproyoked and cold-blood-
ed murder than your correspondent con-
ceiyed. Hite had no controversy with
William Bowers. but claimed that Bow
ers' brother owed him fifty cents and he
meant TO have It or kill him. on the
morning Of the murder. Hite came over
to Clarksville and after drinking heavily
returned with the avowed intention OF

Bowers and told him he was going 10
blow his brothers head off II he did
not pay him. William told him not TO
be uneasy as his brother would pay him

who was armed with a ouble barreled
gun. pointed the gun at Williams head,
who asked him not TO point a loaded gun
at him. as It might go Off by accident.
Hite told him with an oath, there Is no ac-
cident about II and fired the load strik-
ing Bowers in the head a portion of
which was blown of. lie died soon after
being shot.
The murdered man was possessed or tho
confidence and respect of his %neighbors
of both races and all who knew him.
After the shooting the murderer fed.
closely followed by an angry crowd. lie
was soon brought to bay, a few hundred
yards from the scene OF the murder and
captured. but not until he himself was
shot In the hand and head, though IL Is
thought not seriously.
It happened in this way: One OF the
pursuers, a young man named Jenries,
came up with him and when within 30
or 40 yards was told by Hite that he
would kill him. IL he came a step near
or. The young man who was armed with
a shot gun loaded with bird shot, did
not heed the warning and both fired
about the same time.
Fortunately. Mr.. Jeffries proved the
quicker OF the two. by a second OF time.
and his life was saved Hite being shot

some good, earnest work we may have
the pleasure Of seeing a Democratic
Mayor, Marshal and City Solicitor
making themselves acquainted with
matters about the city building when
the election is over. Two or three
well known Republicans have conced-
ed this already from the present out
look. Of course they may have been
mistaken in their views, but then II IS
heartily hoped that they are not.
Municipal politics form the general
street corner conversation about the
town at present, although the prlmar-
les are many days distant yet. Con-
lectures as to who the Republicans
will nominate on their ticket are being
made here and there, but when IL
comes down to the nomination for
Mayor, there is where they stop. They
don't know how to guess on TINS, at
least appearances are that way. 1t
