A DEADLY QUARREL.
Homer Wilson Shoots Pink
Macon, With Fatal Results.

Homer Wilson and Ed ("Pink"
Macon, both colored, became involved
in difficulty Saturday evening, about
1880 o'clock, on Main street, between
Seventh and Eigth, resulting in Wilson
drawing his gun and firing five times at
Macon, infiicting fatal wound. One
ball entered Macom's abdomen, per-
forating the bowels, and one grazed the
back of his neck, three went through
M. j. Woods show window, breaking a
number of bottles of liquor, and the
ball that grazed his neck lodged in
Woods front door.
Macon was carried to DR.. Brown
Office near by and shortly afterwards
taken to his nome in buggy. where
he was operated on by Drs. Kenney
and Brown. He fingered until yester-
1day Afternoon about a O'Clock, when he
died.
1t is said that Wilson approached
I Macon and said, eff you beat up my
5aunt again you will have to beat me
Iup." Macon replied that he could do
that easy enough and made demonstra-
tons like he was going to proceed to
do it when Wilson fred five times in
rapid succession.
CHEZ of Police Hill was near the
scene of the difficulty at the time and
grabbed wilson, he having made no
effort to escape. and took him to jail.
Wilson is employed at the Link Grocery
Company, and it is said took the pistol
he used, a "A calibre, from the show
case at the grocery, where it was usual
ly kept by Mr.. Link.
The street at this point was. as usual
on Saturday nights. crowded with ne
groes, and it is.a great wonder some
byStander was not shot. In the scram-
BILE of the crowd to get out of the way
of the bullets some zone dropped an
alarm clock, and the owner can get
same hY calling on Chief Hill.
