DIVERS AFTER PEARLS.

Their Work Is Deadly, and They
Do Not Live Long.
Pearl fishers do not live long. They
often dive to a depth Of 100 feet or

these depths a diver usually brings
two oyster shells each "trip" 1t is on
the mother of pearl in these that the
European depends for his sure profit.
Pearls are "plums," which only occa-

STRENUOUS FIGHT
WITH SHOTGUNS,
Farmer Has a Very Spirited
Encounter
WITH NEGROES ON PLANTATION
Peter Gray is Shot Down and May
Die-CoIumbus Gray Wounded and
In Jail-A Lively Plight on the Nor
gan Plantation.

An unfortunate shooting affray oc
cured yesterday morning on the T. J
Morgan plantation, eight miles east o.
Americus, and as the result OF the eur
work Peter Gray, negro farm hand
may die, while his son, Columbus
Gray, Is shot also.
Mr.. Edward Morgan, who was shot
at by the younger Gray, escaped the
leaden missiles.
Peter Gray received full charge OF
shot in his mouth at close range, cut
ting away his teeth and ripping hand
fol of flesh from his left cheek, making
an ugly wound
Columbus Gray only got a sprink-
ling of shot at long range.
After being shot the younger Gray
followed Mr.. Morgan to the house, it
is said, and emptIed the contents of
his gun at the door, barely missing
Mrs. T. j. Morgan, the young mans
mother, standing near it. The second
charge did no damage.
The story of the lively shooting af-
fray, as told, is as as follows:
Mr.. Edward Morgan had an alterca.
tion with Columbus Gray relative to
work. He returned to the house for
his shotgun, and while going towards
the house of Columbus Gray the lat.
ter's father, Peter Gray, came out of
his house, following Morgan.
While his back was to Peter Gray
the latter advanced threateningly upon
Mr.. Morgan, it ia said, and he was
quickly warned
Wheeling about he confronted Pc
ter Gray, who was only a gun length
away, and fired point blank without
even putting the gun to his shoulder.
The charge struck Gray in the mouth,
as above stated.
In the meanwhile Columbus Gray
advanced, gun in hand, and Mr.. Nor
gan gave him the second barrel at 80
yards distance.
Mr.. Morgan, having no more shells,
returned to lighthouse, followed very
closely by Columbus Gray, who fred
both barrels of his gun into the house
as stated. Columbus Gray then came
at once to the city and swore out
warrants for Morgan.
Mr.. Morgan came in shortly after
wards and took a warrantI for Gray,
charging assault with intent to MUIR
der; the same charge that Gray had
preferred against Morgan.
Mr.. Morgan gave bond, while CoIum-
bus Gray was locked up pending a
committal trial this afternoon. Several
birdshot struck the negro but his in
juries are rather triftng. Peter Gray
is very badly wounded and the shot
may prove fatal.
Justice Graham will give them o
hearing today.
