HISTORIC MAN FOUND!
HE IS THE MAN WHO STRUCK
 BILLY PATTERSON!
The Parsonage Has Long Been Held Myth, But at Last He Turns Up in Real Life Right
 Here in Town.

The man who struck Billy Patterson has been discovered. He lives in Mont gomefy. A negro who was arrested yes- terday evening says that mans name is B. w. Brooks. and he conducts a grocery story on Monroe Street. The negro ought to know because the negro is Billy Pat terson himself.
 Billy Patterson lives in Newtown. He is black and about 50 years old. He came to town yesterday. Although he wore no disguise few persons recognized him as Billy Patterson as he mingled with the crowds of shoppers who infest Mon- roe Street. When he walked about the streets no one stopped or turned around and said: Why, bless my life. there's Billy Patterson"
 Pretty soon Billy Patterson went into the grocery store of B. W. Brooks. Now Brooks did not recognize the fact that he was in the presence of Billy Patter- son and a controversy ensued.
 Placidly. pleasantly, peacefully and proudly McDade and Roberts Montgpm- cry policemen, patrolled their Monroe Street beats. Suddenly Billy Patterson rushed out of the store of Brooks, groc- eryman. Blood was streaming from the face of Billy Patterson. Still no one rec ognized that he was Billy Patterson. Nc. Dade and Roberts were alert. Something had happened. Billy Patterson rushed Into the arms of McDade. It did not oc- cur to him to cry out:
 Lemme go; I'm Billy Patterson"
 he simply. told troubles deep, dismal, dreary and doleful to the patrolmen. He said he had been struck with meat knife. He had a ragged wound three inches long on his forehead and the pat rolmen agreed with him that surely he had been struck by something. Brooks, the groceryman. had struck him. So said Billy Patterson. and Roberts. patroIman. believed him. Into the grocery store marched Roberts. patrol nan. Soon he emerged with Brooks. groceryman. The said procession consisting of Brooks, groceryman, Billy Patterson, the wound ed. and Roberts and McDade, patrolmen, took up the march to police headquarters.
 Whats your name?" the grim Desk Sergeant asked of the negro.
 Billy Patterson" replied the negro, wiping the blood from his face.
 "Wh-a-a-at%' demanded the Sergeant, as he came near falling out of the chair
 Billy Patterson" repeated the negro, and the Sergeant wrote 1t in the book. Then he wrote the name of Brooks--B w. Brooks-in the police register and af- ter each name he wrote "Disorderly con- duct. fighting"
 Dr. T. Chiffon Thorington City Physi- clan. was notified of the wound which Billy Patterson had received. He went to the police station and sewed up the wound. Brooks and the negro made bond Tor their appearance before the Recorder this afternoon.
