Mr. o. A. Kennedy Narrowly Escapes
Horrible Fate.


Wrightsville, Ga, Aug. 6.-Last Friday
afternoon Mr.. o. A. Kennedy, a saw mill
man, seven miles west of this place, came
near being murdered by a young negro,
about II years old. named George Mason.
Mr.. Kennedy is in a critical condition,
though with some hope o recovery.
Friday morning Mr.. Kennedy had a lit
tie difficulty with the negro at the mill,
which apparently passed over, and the
negro continued 40 work the entire day
As they were leaving the mill late in the
afternoon the negro ran up behind him
with an AK intending to spit his head
open, but miscalculated the blow, the
blade of the ak passing over Mr.. Kenne-
dy's forehead, and the handle striking
him just above the left ear. II was
thought for the next twenty-four or thir-
ty-six hours his victim would die, but he
is still living, though in a precarious con-
dition.
The negro made his escape. A posse
was1soon in hos pursuit, capturing him
yesterday afternoon, fifteen miles from
the scene of the crime. They put him
i'm Jail here late in the afternoon. The
prisoner said he was put up to do ID by
several other negroes. whose names he
gave, and FIVE other negroes were arrest
ed last night and placed in jail. Superior
Court convenes here on the third Monday
in September at which time their trials
will come off.

LIVELY TINES NEAR LYONS.
a Shooting AFFAIR and a scrimmsge
between Two women.

Lyons Ca Aug. 6.-Mr Pat Darby,
who runs a saw mill on Pendleton Creek,
between this place and the Ohoopee'
brought TO town this morning the news
of terrible tragedy that was Enacted at
his mill yesterday evening.
Virgil Smith was shot and it IS thought
mortslly wounded by his first cousin, Bob
Bowman Both of the men are from
Jackson county, Ga.
The cause of the trouble is this: Smith
Bowman and two others ordered a jug of
whisky, to be divided among them. Bow
man got his part and spent the might and
the day up to the time OF the shooting
with a woman of a very disreputable
character by the name OF Minnie De
Leach Towards evening his whiskey
gave out, and he sent 10 Smith, telling
him to send him 50 cents. Smith did not
do it, which it appears vexed him, so ne
got the woman's pistol out of her
satchel ana went TO Pat Darbys
where Smith was boarding. and demanded
his share of the whisky of Smith, wanting
to know II Smith intended to beat him ont
of his rights and also cursing about
Smith not sending him the so cents.
Smith demonstrated with him. where
upon, Bowman shot at him several times.
One shot took effect just below the nip
pie of the right breast. Bowman has not
been arrested.
The woman. Minnie DeLoach, is the
same woman who caused the shooting
scrape between Bill Collins and Jerry Nor
ris, about two years ago, in which Nor
ris was killed. an account of which APP
peared in the Morning News at the time.
She has been living in this place for some
time, in house rented from
c. c. Clark, a negro preacher. This
morning, when she came back from the
mill where the shooting occurred, yester-
day. Clsrkes wife went to her for the
rent for the house, three months of which
was due. When she asked for the rent
the De Loach woman ordered her OUT of
the house. cursing her and at the same
time getting her pistol But the Clarke
woman closed in on her before she had
time to shoot and took the pistol away
from her.
II is also reported here to-day that Bill
Collins, who for years has been the para
mour of this woman, has been seriously,
perhaps fatally. hurt in a saw mill, where
he went 20 work a few weeks ago after
leaving here.

hearing. As each was called Mrs. Bovard
arose and stated the hour and date that
