HELD TO FIFTEEN CENTS

Ensley, December 1S.-Palace hall was
again thrown into the limelight last
night by the second shooting scrape that
has occurred within its borders in the
past thirty days. Palace hall is a negro
dancing resort.
AS a result of the shooting Coleman
Seventeenth street with bullet wound
in his mouth and one in the lower part
of his abdomen. Son Porter, better
known as "Breeches," received a flesh
wound in the leg The shooting was
done by J. II. Talley, a negro tailor.
Talley was arrested Immediately after
the shooting and placed in the city Jail
with the charge of assault with attempt
to murder against him. He was found
guilty and bound over to the grand jury
under a $500 bond by Mayor Scott.
The trouble came about, it is said, by
Griffin refusing to pay the price of ad-
mission to the dance, amounting to 10
cents, to Talley, who was acting in the
capacity of doorkeeper. The shooting
followed as the result of a heated argu-
ment between the negroes. Three shots
were fired by Talley, two of them strik-
ing Griffin as stated and the third, a
stray one, struck Son Porter. DR. Sugg,
the attending physician, says that Grif-
fins wounds will probably not prove ia
tai, as neither of them is of a serious
nature.
