JONES ON TRIAL
AGAIN FOR CUNNING
CFrom Fridays DaIly)

Once again the jury In the case Of
the state Va. ]. N. Jones will have
10 decide whether a man is justl-
fled in shooting at a man whom he
is frightened into thinking is COINS
TO hurt him, although the man in
question at the time OF the shoot
ing is holding up his hands and beg
cling for mercy,
As has been related before the
case against Jones, better known as
"Pudd'n' foot" comes from his us
ing John Lemmons as a target last
New Years afternoon Lemons,
who is helper at the Santa Fe shops
was coming along the street with A..
Samples, a boiler makor, when Jones
met them near the Mitchell saloon
on Buchanan street and began shoot
ing at Lemons with a big revolver
Lemmons protested that he was not
the man that the bartender was look
ing for and held up his hands but
Jones kept shooting at him as he
ran TN officer Doc Bolton who was
on the street at the time put a stop
A ..IN
In justification Of his performance
with the gun. the defendant proves
that he had had serious trouble with
Jim Lemmons, brother OF the man at
whom he shot, and that he had ren-
son to fear violence at the hands OF
Jim Lemons, and perhaps from
John. Furthermore when the shoot
ing occurred, the defendant alleges
that he was on the way down to the
sheriffs office to see what he should
do about protecting hemself from
one OF the brothers Then
he suddenly encountered John
Lemons, whom he mistool; for Jim,
and he stralghtway protected himself
by shooting three times at the de-
fenseless John. one shot Inflicted
slight wound and by he narrow
est possible margin, Jones escaped
facing a much more serious charge
than that which he is now answering.

THREE CASES LEFT.
CFrom Saturdays Daily)

Today City Physician Shirley re-
leased several patients who have
been under quarantine for small pox'
including the transients who have
been confined in the pest house.
There are now only three cases left
in the entire city and these are well
on the way toward release. Stfin-
gent regulations on the part OF the
city have resulted in some bitterness
on several occasions between the au-
thorlties and the quarantined par
tise but the wisdom Of close surveil-
lance has been shown in every case,
and the spirit OF the public is now
one OF strict cooperation with the
health authorities in preserving the
necessary safeguards.
