A TRAGEDY IN AUGUSTA.
VIM. o. WILLIAMS SHOT DOWN BY
j. n. NORRIS.

Norris Met His Man on the street,
Ascertained His Identity, Exclaim-
ed, "What the HI Do You Mean
by -" and Commenced Firing.
Williams Died in Street and Nor
ris Gave Himself Up-TroubIe in
Some Way Evidently Relates to
Norris Wife.
Augusta, June 14.-There was a trag-
edy on the streets tonight when j.
r. Norris met William o. Williams,
and after a few words, emptied his
revolver into him at short range.
Before the last shot Williams turned
and fed, but after running a short dis
lance, fell in the street. When by
ISLANDERS reached him he gasped a few
times and died.
Norris in the meantime coolly re-
loaded his pistol. but when he saw his
victim was done for, walked to meet
an officer and gave himself up. Will
liams could make no statement. and
Norris does not. The shooting occur
red on Mcintosh street, near the cor
ner of Fenwick and not far from the
homes of the two men, who with their
families live on the same square on
Calhoun street.
By-standers say Williams was re-
turning from an ice house carrying a
block of ice in a tin pan. Norris was
standing ins front of a drug store and
crossed over to meet Williams. All of
their conversation that was heard
seems to have been an effort on the
part of Norris to convince himself he
had the right man. When Williams
acknowledged his name and residence,
Norris exclaimed: What the HI did
you mean by -" and began shoot
ing, the last part of his question being
lost in the noise of the pistol shots.
After the first shot, Williams dropped
the ice and held his hands before him,
as though seeking to guard his body.
He received two bullets in his abdo-
men and two in his hand. The fifth
lodged in the thigh of John Stuart. a
negro who was passing on the side
walk
Report has it that at one time Nor
ris and his wife were separated, but
returned to each other and that in
some way Norris blames Williams for
causing the trouble between them. 1t
IS not likely that the facts will come
out before they are given H.. court.
When questioned, Norris simply said:
Il regret very much that was obliged
to do it,"
Norris is a brother of the chief of po-
lice and himself a member of the
force. He is about 80 years old. Will
liams is a baggage master on the
Southern railway, S5 years old, and
both married.

Alexander City, Ala, June 14.-The
destructive fire which swept over this
city yesterday, consuming almost the
entire business portion of the town and
destroying several residences entailed
a loss of $27S. 900, covered by $123, 900 in
surance. Only one store of the fifty
buildings remains standing. The in

provisions during last night. Trains ar

of whom lost all their property, say
they will rebuild the town and will be-
gin the work as soon as the hungry
