The smoke from five discharges OF
a pistol.
A negro man, wounded and bleed
ing, and crawling on the ground and
clinging to his own weapon. And a
white man standing in the street and
holding a smoking pistol in his hand
is what the pedestrians on Walnut
street near Washington avenue, saw
this morning about o:3o o'clock.
From the facts we could gather at
ter the shooting from eye witnesses
it seems that the wounded negro
Henry Daniels, had purchased some
fruit trees from L. ]. Jordan, an agent,
and for some reason had refused to
take them. This fact he told his
commission merchant Mr.. A. Rosen-
field. and further said, "1f Jordan
comes. tell him l will not take the
trees ordered" A few minutes al
terwards Jordan saw Daniels and in
sisted on his taking the trees, and on
refusal, left, returning to stable and
Daniels to Rosenfeld's Office.
Mr.. L. Vaught, an eye witness says
he then saw Daniels come from Kos
en6eld's office with pistol in his
hand, and going toward the stable
where Jordan was. In the next ia
slant Jordan emerges from the stable
and meets Daniels in the street and
had spoken but a few words, when,
no doubt, saw Daniels pistol IN his
hand. he pulled his and fred the first
shot, striking the negro in the upper

front part of the leg. Daniels, with
pistol in hand, starts to run and re-
ceives another bullet in the back and
another in the leg. This brings him
to the ground and still holding to his
pistol crawls away from the weapon
Of destruction that is taking his life
and reaches the bridge in front of
Rosen6eld's office, where he lay until
assistance came.
After the shooting Jordan goes up
to Officer Cox and surrenders and is
turned over to the sheriff and placed
in the county jail
DR.. Emmett Smythe was called up
on to attend the wounded man and
found an artery in his leg cut and
two other bullets in the body. He had
him removed to his brother-in-law's
house, 500 Shelby street.
While Daniels was on the ground,
his wife arrived and her screams
could be heard for blocks. She was
placed in a carriage and driven to
Johnson's home.
The pistol taken from the wounded
man was an improved Colts, No. 1885,
o4I. He was considered good ne
gro, but seems from coming out with
his pistol he meant trouble.
Mr.. L. ]. Jordan, the fruit tree
man, has been making this town many
wears, and is considered law-abid-
ing, clever citizen.
The preliminary trial will take place
at three O'Clock this afternoon at JUS

eral cotton, brokerage and banking
business with offices in the Hiber-
MIA bank building in New Orleans.
The new firm, so their announce
ment stated, has employed only
skilled employees, men of cotton ex-
perience, and that the firm would be
ready to execute orders for futures
contracts on December Ist.
The announcement will no doubt be
surprise to many, but it has been
knowon by Mr. Buns intimate
friends that it was his intention next
year to open up cotton business in
New Orleans.
Starting into the cotton and COM
mission business in this city some
nineteen years ago, Br. Blum, by
close personal attention, good bust
ness judgment and liberal treat
ment to all his customers, he has
finally succeeded in extending his
trade over the entire Delta and has
built up in the Able Blum Cotton
Co., one of the largest cotton bust
nesses in the State, and to increase
it Mr.. Blum found it necessary to
seek a larger city and field for his
operations.
He could not have selected a
better city than New Orleans, and
in asociating himself with NJ Hy-
man, who is reputed to be man of
great wealth, he has again acted wise
ly.
Besides being a prominent busi-
ness man of the town, Mr.. Blum
served for number of years in the
city council and has been identified
with every step of progress the city
has made.
In conversation with The Times
man Mr.. Blum stated that while he
expected to carry his fanny to New
Orleans, he would always consider
Greenvile as his home and that it
was here he woud always hod his
citizenship He further stated that
his business in this city woud be in
charge of Mr.. Goldstein with Messrs.
Witt, Kelner and Moyse assisting
him, and that he, himself, would re-
turn every month to look after his
own interests and keep in close touch
with the people of the city and COM
munity.
New Orleans will find in Mr..
Blum a progressive citizen and we
predict for him grand success.
