The entire top of his head was blown off by a shotgun. For some distance back up the road his papers were scattered to where Carwile was seen with a gun. Carwile claims that he was in the buggy with Snow driving when the horses became frightened and Snow asked him to get out and hold them. That he did so and that Snow attempted to put the gun out of the buggy when 1t went off. the load striking him in the head. Carwiles actions were suspicious, and he was arrested. He told conflicting stories and when searched the note he had owed Snow was found in his pocket. Physicians examined the wound and 1t appeared to be of a character which 1t would be impossible to infiict on ones self. Carwile is in jail without bond.

One called to the other to kill Davis, using violent oaths, whereupon both men began firing. One ball entered Davis's breast and came out near his
 backbone. one shot entered three inches below where the other came out, and went
 straight through another tore off the right | thumb. Several shots were fired besides these taking effect. Will Peppers escap- ed and John has been in jail since, Davis | Is yet confined to his room.

 Frank Early who killed John Canon ] near the steel plant here one Sunday afternoon some thre months ago, who was bound over to the City Court grand jury on his preliminary trial, is now free. It seems that Early was bound oveh to await the action of the recent city court grand jury under a $1, coo bond, which he made and was in Georgia. The grand jury failed to return a true bill because | they were unable to get the witnesses and they held the case over. For some reason Early's bondsmen gave him up | this week and he was again placed in Jail. Friday Early swore out a writ of habeas | corpus De1Ore Juuge DlSQue, WnO turned him loose. and he is now a free man and will not have to answer to any charge There was a murder committed at the | steel plant early this morning, a negro being the victim. Sam Franklin and | another negro fell out about a ten-cent comb and later a woman was brought into | the row. The men had just arrived at the plant and were preparing to go to work when without any warning Frank lin pulled H-calibre pistol and fired two shots at Henry Smith, both taking effect and causing death half an hour later. One shot entered Smiths left leg and the other his kidneys. Before he died Smith pulled common comb from his pocket and said that was what Franklin killed him for. Franklin made his escape and is still at large.
 | bad element of the negro race broke out in Gadsden this week and a murder and three attempts to murder are the result. Judge Blount and Henry Dudly are two negroes employed at the Caldwell Spence Company at their wholesale house on Locust Street.
