Gambling Game Ended in Serious
Cutting ARRAY.
Plenty Taylor and Harriet Gordon
both colored. were badly cut yesterday
morning by William Green, negro
who is held at the police station
house on a charge of assault with in
tent to murder. The trouble occurred
in Liberty lane near Drayton street.
According to Taylor and the woman
Green attempted to get up a crap
game in front of Taylor's house, and
when objections were interposed he
began to use his knife. Taylor's nose
was almost cut off, and the woman
was badly slashed on the left arm.
Patrolman Coffee was sent to the
house from police headquarters, and
found Green concealed in the neigh
borhood.
. The negro was trying to climb a
chimney when placed under arrest.
The prisoner claims that he was
gambling in Taylor's house and that
when that individual didn't get a
rake off he destroyed the cards. Green
says that the man and woman started
the trouble, and that he was forced
to use his knife. He will be given
a preliminary examination by Record
err Myrick in Police Court this morn

IN A COFFIN OF GRAY.
The Remains of George Turner Were
Laid to Rest.

A1uIu
The funeral of the late George Tur-
ner took place yesterday afternoon at
o'clock from Trinity Methodist
Church. There was a large gathering
of people to pay the last tribute of re-
spect to his memory.
Devoted during his life to the Con-
federacy, for which he fought through
out the Civil War, his remains were
laid to rest in a coffin covered with
Confederate gray and draped in the
folds of the flag he followed and loved.
So far as known he is the first old SOL
der to be buried in a coffin covered
with the color he wore throughout the
long struggle.
The members of McLaws Camp of
Veterans attended the funeral, as did
the Chatham Artillery with which the
old soldier served from the beginning
of the war until the final surrender.
At the grave the artillery fired three
volleys and the bugler sounded Good
Night.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Bascom Anthony of Trinity
Church. of which Mr.. Turner had been
member nearly all his life. Mr.
Anthony spoke feelingly and paid a
noble tribute to the life and character
of the dead.

MAY SEND EXTRA MEN.
A Company VIII Not he Limited to
Five Men at State shoot.

Five Men at state shoot.
1t has been decided that the attend
ance at the state shoot that is to be
held in Macon, beginning July 7, need
not be limited to five men from a COM
pany. Extra men may be sent by each
company in the state, provided the
company pays the transportation and
for the subsistence of those not of the
detail of five. The state will furnish
tents for the extra men.
This is a concession that will doubt
less result in many of the companies
sending more than five men. Col. Cam
has not yet decided how many extra
men may be permitted, but that is
matter upon which an announcement
will soon be made. 1t is desired that
an idea may be gained of the approx
mate total of the number that Will at
tend the shoot
Col. Cam has been busy with the ar
rangements for the shoot, which, he
thinks, Will prove a success. He is in
correspondence with Macon officers,
who are looking out for the details
there. They will soon inform Col.
Cam that individual and team prizes
will be offered for the contests that
will be a feature of the practice. When
this information has been received, Col.
Cam will prepare a circular order, rel
ative to the shoot, which will be dis
tributed among the commanding Off
GERS.
1t is now Col. CAMS idea to form a
provisional regiment of the company
details that will gather at the Macon
camp. lie expects that here will be
enough men to form into nine provi-
sional companies, which will be divid-
ed among three battalions. Officers will
be detailed for service at the camp, and
will be assigned to the several battal-
ions and companies. There will be
drills and other variations from the
rifle practice, so that there will be a
variety about the duties of the men
that will relieve camp life of is OBJ
jections.
Arrangements are being made in
Macon to have a band participate in
the encampment. 1t is expected that
this project will be carried out. Even
ing parades will have a part in the
plans for the encampment. and the
people of Macon will doubtless turn
out in numbers to observe this cere-
mOnY.

WANTED 1T CALLED OFF.
Union Club Lenders Declared They
Couldn't Get Fair Deal.

Union Club Lenders Declared They
Couldn't Get Fnir Deal.
Heelers on both sides took a hand in
the general row that followed the en-
counter that Kearney and Garrity be-
gan and for a quarter of an hour the
police were kept busy. The Union
Club leaders estimated that fifteen of
their best fighters had their skulls
cracked during this time by the billies
of the administration workers or the
clubs of the police. Four or five of
these were sent in to the station house,
in the majority of cases with their
heads and faces so covered with blood
that then features could not be dis
tmguished.
1t took the Union Club leaders nerve
They soon saw they got the worst of
every encounter and had no chance in
fight. From every conflict with the
heelers of the opposition faction, their
heelers emerged with battered and
bleeding countenances and cracked
heads. Some of their heelers emerged
only to be carted off to the station
house.
For time the leaders were in favor
of withdrawing their managers and
clerks from the primary and throwing
up the sponge They declared that the
police force was overpoweringly
against them and that they stood no
chance of getting a fair show They
said that their voters were driven
away from the polling places by the
armed heelers of the opposition, who
worked their will under the sanction
and protection of~the police.
Driven From the Polls.
The Union Club voters were so terri
fled they could not be induced to stand
in line and hung on the very skirts of
the crowd. Only few ventured near
the polling places and prepared to cast
their ballots
1t was these considerations that in
duced the partially formed determine
ton on the part of the Union Club
leaders to quit the game. They were
struck by the thought however that
only the candidates had a right to take
such step as was suggested and the
plan they had virtually formed was
abandoned
lntsead they presented to Mr.. T. M.
Cunningham, Jr., chairman of the
Executive Committee a formal de-
mand that he should declare the cleo
ton off, on the ground that the con-
duct of the police rendered it certain
that no fair and honest election could
oe Heiu. 1hlS ueHldHu was MADE by
Mr.. Walter p. LaRoche president of
the Union Club, before the opening
of the polls
Mr.. Cunningham said he could not
assume that there would be rioting
during the progress of the election.
or that the conduct of the police would
be brutal or unfair. For this reason
he declined to accede to the suggestion
and the managers and clerks of cleo
ton were sworn in. This ceremony
was conducted by Mr.. Cunningham
assisted by Mr.. G. Reuben Butler, in

WILLIAM T. LEOPOLD.

Thus signally and decisively the
nominees of the Citizens Club defeat
ca their opponents at the county
Democratic primary yesterday. The
Citizens Club elected every man on
its ticket, the Executive Committee,
representatives to the general as
sembly and county officers
The uncontested candidates received
high complimentary vote, the total
vote cast being ASP. There were few
scratches of the names of those whom
neither faction had seen fit to oppose.
Maj. John Schwarz, the Citizens
Club candidate for sheriff, ran far
ahead of his ticket, and polled the
largest vote of any candidate for a
contested office. Mr.. Pleasant A. Sto-
vail led the clubs ticket for repre-
sentatives in the general assembly
and received the second largest vote
on the ticket.
The closest races were those between
Col. Warning Russell and Mr.. C. H.
Carson for county treasurer and be-
tween Mr.. Marcus S. Baker and Capt
John r. Dillon for tax receiver, and
in these two contests the greatest in
terest of the election centered. The
race between Col. Russell and Mr..
Dixon was particularly close and
until the returns from the Third dis
trict, showing small majority for
Russell, were received, there was
much doubt as to his election.
The vote for representatives and
county officers was officially compiled
and announced by Chairman Cunning
ham, in the City Court room, shortly
before 1 O'Clock this morning, after
some Of the managers and clerks had
spent nearly seven hours in compiling
their returns. The vote for members
of the executive committee will be an
nounced probably to-day. The returns
show that Mr.. r. J. Davant led his
ticket for membership on the executive
committee.
The Union Club candidates with one
exception carried the Fourth District
Sheriff John Schwarz managed in the
three boxes to secure over Capt. Kone-
man a majority of 81.

Case Against Man Who Cut Charles
Harvey Was Continued.

Charles harvey, the Union Club man
who was cut in the head at Dorsey's
Hall by S. L. Bandy, was able to get to
the polls, although he did not appear
in Police Court against his assailant,
and the case was continued
Harvey and Bandy were members of
the same club and the cutting was the
result of a dispute about finances.
Bandy was unable to furnish bail for
his appearance and was required to re-
main in the cooler, and miss all the
fun at the polls. The Citizens Club
Iers stated that Harvey voted their
ticket and that they received an offer
from Bandy to do the same thing if
bail was furnished for him, but there
was nothing doing.
