Disappointed in Love Affair--Young
Georgian Takes His Own Life
After Desperate Encounter.

Atlanta, Ga, May 15.-Crazcd by
drink and by disappointment in a
love affair, James H. Clark, tcle-

wounded three others, slightly wound
ed fifth and dubbed sixth with a
shotgun, set fire to the home of one
Of his victims, and when surrounded
by posse shortly after noon today,
shot himself through the heart.
Clark, who came some months ago
from Baldwin, Ga, paid marked at
tention to the niece of e. Purcell, but
was discouraged. He went to the
Purcel home last evening and de-
manded admittance, which was re-
fused. He set fire to the kitchen, and
when Purcell and son, w. j. Pur-
cell, appeared to fight the flames,
Clark fired upon them, wounding both.
Returning about midnight Clark made
another attempt to set fire to the
house, and when an attempt was made
to seize him, he shot w. S. Mask,
railroad station agent, in the neck.
Clark then fled to Dunwoody,
about five miles distant, where he ar
rived early today. He went to the
store of Nash e. Cheek and demand
ed ammunition. The store people
had been warned by telephone and re-
fused to sell the required cartridges.

with a bullet through the heart. He
fired also at Mr.. Nash, inhicting a
dangerous wound. He then ran to the
woods. On the way down the rail
road tracks he met w. J. Coker, whom
he attacked, wounding him slightly.
Officers were reused at once, and
hounds were put on the track of the
insane man. He was seen in the road
way near Chamblee shortly after noon
today, and when he found himself
surrounded, he ended his wild career.
