Throat Was Cut, Man NAV Die

Jasper, Ca, Feb, 1s.-George
Corn cut and seriously, if not fatally
wounded John Cowart about 10 o'clock
at Marble Hill ito the east in this
county Sunday. The report from the
scene of the difficulty is the two men
were drinking and Corn, being the
aggressor, cut Gowart's throat, sew
ering the windpipe. The doctors
attending Cowart say he cannot recov-
er. The sheriff left here in company
of William McCloud to arrest Corn,
who is said to be in the settlement
where the difficulty occurred, defying
arrest. Corn came from Lumpkin
county. 1t is said his brother killed
their own bro, her in that county a
few years ago. Cowart came from

employed at some of the marble
works
