DEPLORABLE TRAGEDY.

The front salesroom of the Tracy Ci-
ty Bottling Works was the scene of
trouble Tuesday night of last week
about 10:45, which was a great shock
to the entire town and community.
Walter Grocer, aged 81, son of Capt.
G. H. Grocer, Superintendent of the
Tennessee Consolidated Coal Co., was
instantly killed by pistol in the
hands of John Byers, who is Special

active officers were at Altamont at
tending court, that crowd of
drunken boys and men was endeavor-
in to run the town and Grocer was
among the lot. Having been to the
merry -go-round and caused them to
stop, they proceeded down the street
and entered the Bottling Works where
a difficulty arose between Arnold Kiss
ling, Byers associate in business, and
Walter Grocer. After Grocer knocked
kissing down, Byers ordered Grocer
out of the house. When be started out
he endeavored to take one Of his asso-
ciates in the crowd, young Wooten,
with him, whom Byers had arrested
Grocer, it seems, jerked Wooten a.
way from Byers and started out of the
door when Byers ordered them to
stop. At this juncture it seems Croz-
Ell picked up chair and started after
Byers who pulled his pistol and fired
three shots, as related by Byers, only
to make him stop and this fact il

and one in the ceiling and one in tht

City for several years, has Away
been considered a peaceable, hard
working man, but when irritated /
very dangerous one.
Grocer was frequent indulgent il
liquor while drunk was rather trou
blesome, but not considered danger

The families of Byers and Grocer hav
been acquainted for some years bot
having resided at Whitwell for
number of years
Byers Immediately went to Alta
mont and gave himself MP to tn
sheriff, admitting the killing, bu
claiming that it was unavoidable
deeply deploring and regretting th
fact and desiring an investigation Q

with both families in their trouble.

There is a lesson in the work of the

thinking how pretty she was, when
suddenly he let off howl and sprang
into theport mizzen rigging. was mt
far off him at the time, and / looked at
him, wondering whether he had gone
mad. Then | saw what he had seem
and went up the starboard mizzen
shrouds as quickly as he had gone up
the port ones. The girl raised her head
and looked up at Hoskins, and he gap
ed down at her and tried to shout.
But for some time he would only make
faces.
Look Look !'"' he yelled at last.
Come up the rigging, the tiger is
loose"
She sprang to her feet and looked
about her. Not four yards away from
her the tiger was playing with coil
of rope. 1t was paying no sort of at
tention to her at the mom6nt, but she
felt that it might take it into its head
to spring at her at any time. As she
stood she was cornered between the
stern of the ship and the cabin door.
There was nothing to be done but to
climb up the rigging. She tried, but
the first step was too high. And when
she realized that l thought she was 60
ing to faint.
Hoskins was just going down to give
her hand, but at that moment the til
ger looked up and saw him, and gave
kind of roar. The old man stuck
where he was then, and sort of shivered
all over like jelly in gale. As for
the girl, sho went white all over, and
gave herself up for lost. And them
out of the cabin came Professor Hay.
He just took one look around and
saw the tiger. Then he picked up a
broom that some one had left leaning
against the deckhouse, and pushed at
the tiger with it, looking it straight
between the eyes. I'd heard of the
power of the human eye before, but
had never believed it until that after
noon. He kept walking forward, push
ing the beast gently before him right
into the waist and back into the cage.
When he had it safely fastened, he
came astern again, looking not the
least worried or excited, and put the
broom careful y back into its place.
The girl was looking hard at him, and
her eyes were shining and he didn't
seem to be aware Of it. Hoskins had
come down the rigging and was look
ing trifle ashamed of himself HI
hadn't known it was so easy to pusl
tigers into their'cages with broom
on he might have had try at it. AT
ter bit. he spoke up.
"That was fine bit Of work, sir,
he said. IF hadn't seen it coult
MT have believed it,
s'Oh it's nothing, said the profes
sor. Its my business. | tame wilt
animals.
After that he seemed to dismiss tn
whole subject from his mind, and wen
down into the cabin. But saw him
later in the evening, talking to tina
girl, and he must have had something
important to say to her, for when tn
old man met her the next mornin!
and began making excuses for himsel
she cut him short.
Captain she said do you re
member advising me to marry brav
MANI
II do, said Hoskins, a bit puzzled
We'll" she said, softly, ''he aske'
me yesterday and I'm going to tax
your advice.
Which shows you, doctor, that bray
cry is very much a matter of custom
As for poor old Hoskins, we had mi

he didn even have chance to shoV
himself The Sketch.
