BICYCLE OFFICER FRIDAY

n. II. Bullock. proprietor OF the Column
bia saloon, 80 Marietta street, was shot
through the left side about four inches
above the heart by Bicycle officer A. r.
Blackstone on Fulton street about 7:l5
o'clock Friday night Bullock is now at
Grady hospital I'm a precarious condition
with but little chance to recover.
Blackstone claims the shooting was In
self-defense and claims Bullock was ad-
vancing on him with an open knife.
Blackstone. who was on duty at the
time. was going up Fulton street just TO
the west OF Capitol avenue, when he met
Bullock. The officer says The man was
leaning against a fence and was in an
intoxicated condition. He advised him to
go home and Bullock is alleged to have
cursed him instead OF complying with or
ders.
The officer then placed Bullock Under
arrest and led him across Capitol avenue
10 a call box and sent in a call for pa
troll wagon. While the officer was ringing
for the wagon, Bullock is said TO have
walked of some little distance and cursed
him. The officer took hold Of him and a
lively tussle followed Blackstone was
struck heavy blow over the left eye. Bull
lock, the officer claims, then drew a knife
and advanced on him. The officer says he
warned him to stop, but he did not do so.
He says he drew his pistol and fired as
Bullock came on with his knife.
Blackstone reported TO Chief Ball i'm
mediately after the shooting. From what
the chief has heard the ol.lcer was justi-
fed and he was continued on duty. He
went home, when discharged with his
watch at midnight. Blackstone has been
on the force since January, 1894 He had
done police duty in West End prior to that
date and came to the Atlanta force, when
West End was annexed. He has a good
record as an officer. He says he simply
had to protect himself.

WOMAN is CREMATED

BEATRICE, Neb., Sept. 13.-Nrs. Kate
Fournell, living with her parents near
Steinhauer, was criminally assaulted last
night by tramps, who then killed her
and dragged her body into the yard, where
they set fire to the clothing.
When the body was found, the clothing
had been burned from it.
The woman had been left in charge Of
the home by her mother and brother who
discovered her dead body when they re-
turned home today.
= The men evidently had broken open
the house, which they looted, after COM
hitting the crime. The community is ex-
cited and II the perpetrators shall be cap
tured they probably will be lynched.
A pack OF blood hounds have been put
on their trail.

slightly lower than the opening. Spots
remained unchanged with sales Of 5000.
Our market opened quiet at slight drop

This was the best it could do, however,
and the market closed dull at about last

siderable damage by worms to cotton, but
the movement has been very heavy there IN

sidered beneficial to cotton. The predicted
frost for this morning in Oklahoma ana IN
