TANT SHOT THOMPSON.
Bullets Flew in n Drugstore Mt
MiIIedEeViIIe.

Milledgeville, Ga, Dec. 10.-Thls after
noon, just before dark, considerable
excitement was caused here by a shoot
ing scrape, which occurred in Haw-
kins' drug store and in which two
citizens of Milledgeville participated
Sam Tant shot twice at Homer Thomp-
son, though only the first shot was
effective. The ball struck Thompson
on the chin and passed out on the
side of the face in front of the right
ear.
Mr.. Thompson is the electrician for
the Milledgeville Electric Light Com
pany, and Mr.. Tant is the son of
Mrs. Hardy, who is the proprietor of
the Milledgeville Hotel. Formerly the
men were working together as en-
ployes of the Electric Light Company,
but they have not been on speaking
teams for some time. Mr.. Tant feels
that he lost his position because
Thompson reported dispaIagingly of
his work for the company.
Tonight Mr. Tant said that he had
reports of remarks made by Thomp-
son, which were insulting to his mother
and wife. Accordingly he went to
Hawkins drug store to call up Thomp-
son by telephone. Thompson happen
ed to be in a back room of the drug
store and came forward. He denied
making the insulting remarks, but
strong language followed, and Tant
drew his pistol and fired.
Although wounded. Thompson rushed
across the street and grabbed a shot
gun of Mayor Horne, which was load
ed with buckshot. Mayor Horne and
others interviewed and prevented fur
ther shooting. Mr.. Tant surrendered
to a policeman, and was subsequently
released on bond.
The wound of Mr.. Thompson is not
considered serious. and it is believed
that he will soon recover.

mony Mr. Child heard of Mr.. Lathan's
misfortune and drove over to see his
