SHOT ABOUT A NICKEL.
one Negro Put n Bullet in Another
Negroes Leg.

One negro with bullet through his hat
and the other with a broken leg from a
pistol shot IS the result of a shooting af-
fray that occurred yesterday morning at
East Broad and Anderson streets.
The principals are Arthur Middleton and
Moses Jones. According to the story of
the former, Jones was the aggressor. Mid
dleton says that Jones owed him fve cents
several months ago and that one day see
ing a nickel belonging to his debtor on the
ground he took il TO square the debt but
that Jones resented his summary way of
collection and threatened to get even with
him. This incident. he says. occurred
nearly three months ago, and though he
saw nothing Of Jones Until yesterday he
has been told repeatedly that threats had
been made against him.
Wednesday night. the prisoner said he
was told that Jones had been around An
derson and East Broad streets looking for
him, a nd he was told that Jones had a pis-
toi and said that he would shoot him. so
This morning when l started" he said, Il
got my own pistol and carried it along in
my pocket I was on my way to the
Standard Oil Companys l came from
Anderson street and just as 1 turned into
East Broad street / saw Jones He saw
me, too. l stepped behind a tree and he
called out 10 me, Come out from there
and let me get at YOU but I, instead
crossed the street 20 near where a horse
and wagon was standing Just before I
got there he shot at me. I stepped behind
the horse, which gave me time to get my
pistol, and then L shot at him twice in
quick succession"
Patrolman Crosby who heard the shots
hurried to the scene and arrested both
men. Jones he found had his leg broken
from the second Of Middleton's shots Him
he sent to the infirmary, but took the
other man 10 the barracks. where a charge
of assault with intent to murder was en-
tered against both of them
After Middleton was locked up 1t was
found that the bullet from Jones pistol
had gone through his hat and within one
inch of his head

BROOKS FOUND NOT GUILTY.
Jury Found Atlanta Dentist Innocent
of Forgery Very Quickly.

DR.. E. L. Brooks. an Atlanta dentist.
was placed on trial in the Superior Court
yesterday for the crime of forgery
Though the case consumed considerab BILE
time in it's trial, the jury required but
very little in reaching and returning a
verdict of not guilty
The facts in the case were that DR.
NJ. D. Cowart of Collins sent to DR.. l..
B. Brooks. in Savannah an express
money order for IS. The person to whom
the money was sent was a brother of
the defendant in the case on trial
He died the day the order was sent
and it was received by DIR. E. l..
Brooks who. Endorsed the name of his
dead brother on the back Of the order and
received the money il represented. These
facts were admitted.
1t appeared on the trial that the
Brooks brothers were partners in the
dental supply business, and, further. that
E. L. Brooks had direct authority from
his brother to sign his name to all in
struments. If the money was in pay
ment of an account due che partnership,
the defendant had right TO sign the
partnership name, which was L. B.
Brooks; If the money was due personally
TO L. B. Brooks the defendant still had
a right to sign the name by virtue of
the authority that he exhibited to the
jury.
II further appeared in evidence that
there had been bad blood between the pros
ecutor in the case, C. NJ. Roberts, and the
defendant Roberts was the father-in-
law of the dead brother, and the quarrel.
possibly because it was between those
connected by marriage ties, was bitter and
intense
After the verdict Of not guilty had been
returned, one of the jurymen stated that
ii was crying shame that the prosecution
had ever been brought 1t was
persecution, thought this member of
the inquest, and the tables ought
to have been reversed, with the
prosecutor in the prisoners box and the
defendant appearing against him. This
view seemed to be general. The defendant
was represented yesterday by Messrs.
Lowery Arnold of Atlanta. and ]. F.
Evans of Savannah

MASONRY EXEMPLIFIED.
District Convention Ended With
work of Third Degree.

The second meeting of the district con-
vention of the worshipful masters of the
First Masonic district was held last night
and the work of the NJ. NJ. degree was
exemplifed by District Deputy Charles F.
Fulton. acting as worshipful master, and
the following acting officers of Solomon s
Lodge: Messrs. John W. Parker, senior
warden; H Wylly johnson, junior war
den; [. H. McLaws, senior deacon;
George H. Richter. Junior deacon; Will
liam Denhars, senior steward; w. A Cox.
junior steward, and A. H. Lane, tyler.
The choir consisted of Messrs. F. E.
keilbach. W r. Fearon and Fred King.
Prof. John Wiegand was organist.
Though the attendance the night be-
fore had been extremely large, that of
last night was even greater; probably
more than 200 persons were present, be-
ing one Of che largest crowds that has
ever attended a Masonic meeting here
which is all the more remarkable consid-
ering the extreme hot weather and the
many members of the local lodges that
are out of town.
The degree was conferred upon three
candidates for membership in Solomon's
Lodge. At the conclusion of the work the
lecture and a charge of the degree were
given by Mr. Keener of Augusta, chair
man of the Board of District Deputies. His
address was an excellent one; after relat-
ing in a most charming manner the legend
upon which is founded the NJ. NJ degree,
he elulidated its symbolism and brought
to the attention Of the newly-made MEM
bers the great lessons inculcated in so
forcible and eloquent a manner that he
received numerous eongratula tions at the
close OF the lodge
II was after midnight when the lodge
adjourned to the supper room, where an
excellent supper had been prepared by the
Independent Society of st. Paurs Church.
The convention has been a most decided
success in every way fraternally; as draw
ing together Masons who might otherwise
never meet, but principally as a means of
showing TO the smaller lodges of the dis
trict the beauties of careful work and
study and the advantages and necessity of
ldhering TO the ancient landmarks of the
order
While this is the first convention of its
kind ever held here and was due almost
entirely to the efforts of Mr. Fulton. il is
sure TO be taken as precedent and there
is little doubt that future district depu-
ties will see its advanta ges, and that con-
Ventions of a similar kind will be among
the events of each Masonic year.
