CITIZEN FIRED ON A SOLDIER.
A Merchant at Jacksonville Figures
in an Exciting Scene.

A Merchant at Jacksonville Figures
i'm an Exciting Scene.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. GA serious DIFF
ficulty was narrowly averted here this
afternoon when ]. NJ. Coleman, a promi-
nent haberdasher, fired a pistol at a flee
ing soldier, but fortunately failed to hit
any one, although the street was filled
with people at the time.
The report became circulated that Cole
man had attempted to kill Maj. Russell
B. Harrison provost marshal, but al
though the major figured in the affair
the shot was not fired at him and no at
tempt was made upon his life.
The trouble seems to have started be-
tween Coleman and a soldier, the two
having some words. Coleman, who is
known to have an irascible temper, is
said to have used most foul language
and a crowd of soldiers gathered.
Maj. Harrison, walking down the street
saw the crowd and went in TO see what
the trouble was. Coleman then turned on
him, calling him vile names and ordering
him from the store.
Maj. Harrison, fearing further trouble
went for a policeman, Coleman being a
private citizen.
AS to what occurred just here. accounts
differ, and are somewhat confusing. 1t
is claimed by Coleman that a soldier en-
tered the store and struck him over the
head with a pair of brass knucks, and
then ran, that he followed the soldier TO
the door and fired at him.
At any rate, no sooner had the shot
been fired than the soldiers rushed into
the store, and the shout went up TO lynch
him and shoot him.
Several provost guards were standing
by and at once loaded their rifles. Mai
Harrison hearing the shot. came back
and realizing that the soldiers, in their
enraged condition, were intent on doing
Coleman injury, ordered them off and in
so doing undoubtedly prevented blood
shed
Coleman was placed under arrest and
taken to the police station. He afterward
waived hearing end was placed under
81 600 bond.
The affair created a good deal of excite
ment at the time but no further trouble
is feared.
The soldier shot at was said to belong
to the Second Louisiana Regiment.
