A BULLET IN BRAIN
IS FATE OF WOMAN.
Brain of Ellen Black Thus
Bored,
WOMAN FALLS DEAD IN TRACKS
General Fight In The Bottom Ended
in Killing of Neeress by Stella VIII
Iiams-WIeIder Of Gun 10 Razored
BY One of Her ASSISTANTS.

In general fight among negro wo-
men on Jackson street, north, at 10
o'clock Monday morning, Stella Will
liams used big Smith & Wesson 38
with IF ,ct upon Mary Ellen Black, one
If her assailants, The bullet penetra-
ted the brain and death resulted in an
instant
From statements made TO the police
it would appear that the Williams wo-
man acted IN self defense.
Three others, the clan Black, had
jumped on and beat her, 1t is said, one
of them using the ever trusty razor
upon her, when the Williams woman
ended the fracas IN the manner stated.
Stella Williams will be held, pend
ing fuller investigation.
The origin of the fracas is not known,
but was probably of the usual charac-
ter among negro women of that local
ity. Ellen Black, with her mother and
sister, were arrayei on one side against
the Williams woman, who had been
given thrashipg in the street.
During the melee one of the Black
trio carved the Williams woman Sc
verely with q razor, infiictipg several
wounds upon her neck.
Freeing herself from her assailants,
Stella Williams rushed into the open
door of house near by and, selzing q
revolver lying upon bureau, opened
FIRE on the trio. The first bullet went
wild, but the next shot bored it's way
into the brain of the younger negro
woman.
Ellen Black fell dead in her tracks,
her brains oozlng out in the sand as
she lay wel'erlng in her own blood.
A great crowd of negroes quickly
gathered, and within a half hour fully
500 excited blacks were jsbbering over
the corpse of the woman as it lay in the
road. AS soon as the police came they
took charge of Stella Williams and as
certGined the facts as best they could.
The grand jury will investigate the
case Thursday morning.

BEARS cAvoRT in THE MARkE'
Hammered the Staple Down Forty
Points.

To the great surprise of Americus
cotton men, buyers and sellers alike,
the bulls turned tail and fled the scene
yesterday, leaving the grizzlies in pos
session of the arena. The market yes
terday lost So or 40 points as compared
with Saturdays close. When the fin
ish came yesterday January had been
marked down to 11:40, March to 11;68
and May 1891. This is loss of near
ly eighty points within three or four
days, and as Liverpool is "due down"
eight or ten points this morning the
end is not yet. These are contract
figures" however, and may have but
little if any effect on spot cotton. The
bear element knows that more or less
cotton will be sold for Christmas mon
ey and they hopeto get tkis at a half
cent under the market price. The
holder who is in no hurry to sell will
get his 70 cents, or better, just the
same.
