The question was raised as to whether
the Council had authority in the affairs
of the Water Commission. Mr.. RiVes
stated that the water works was sepa-
rate and distinct corporation. and that the
Council had no right 10 dictate to the
commission, which statement Mr.. Royal
held could not be true, saying: IF the
water works don't belong to the city they
ought to- Lord knows she paid enough
for them" He continued his argument
stating that the supreme Inw-r1ailing and
governing body of the city should GER
ta.nly have the right TO approve or dis
approve of the action of the commission.

SHOCKING Shooting SCRAPE
A. L. EPPS DANGEROUSLY WoUN.
DED sYJ. 3. SPORTS.
Two Loads Of Shot Entered His
Back and Side - His
Throat Cut Also.

Throat Cut Also.
At his home, near Epps post
Office, A. Lee Epps has been al
most in dying condition since
Saturdaysafternoon, as the result
Of kn;ie-thrust in his throat and
a gun-shot wound in the side and
back, inflicted by James b. Sports.
All sorts OF reports are abroad
concerning the deplorable affair,
so that it is extremely difficult to
get tho impartial facts tor publ
cation. Both Of the parties had
been IN town all day Saturday, and
late in the afternoon rode home
together. It Is said too, that they
had been drinking and were the
worse for liquor when they reached
home. Sports home being nearer
the public road, lie got out Of the
wagon Arst and Epps drove on to
his mothers house about 300 yards
distant. Here his sister, young
lady, seeing his intoxicated condi-
ton when he arrived, became
frightened and ran over TO Sports
house, Epps following behind.
This was about s o'clock in the
evening.
As 10 what happened when
Epps reached Sports house
accounts vary. Epps. We under
stand, states that he asked Sports
where his (Epps') sister was, and
was told by Sports that she was
not in his house. knosing that
she was there, he forced his way
inside the house and Sports at
tackled him, using a knife. Feeling
himself cut, he withdrew from the
house and started home, when
Sports got a double e-barrelled gun
and shot him down.
Sports story is that Epps came
INTO the house and attacked him
with brass knucks, beating him on
the head and neck, also knocking
down his mneteen-year old, halt
witted boy, and that the boy did
the cutting. He claims that
Epps started from the house and
turned back, Gaining with an
oath that he would finish him
(Sports). Then, Sports says, he
got his gun, which was loaded with
No. ) squirrel SHOT, ard fired it at
Epps.
Early Sunday morning depsty
Sheriff Britton arrested Sports and
lodged him in Jail. Monday
morning The RECORD s representa-
tive saw Sports, who gave his
version of the affair. He seems
to have been beaten pretty badly
and was suffering considerably.
Epps' condition was slightly i'm
proved at last accounts.

Robert Epps, Jr., and lives six
miles east of town. lie is ABOUT
25 years old and married.
