Tragedy in Barnwell.

Barnwell special III Sunday S
State: Shooting from the dark ,
and hidden by the deep shadows
cast by the blazing lights OF the
caInlval now in progress in
Barnwell, Perry Ussery was
killed here tonight by an un-
known assassin. The killing is
mystery, and no motive has
been assigned as Ussery was q
perfectly peaceable party. He
lived near barnwell and had
come to town to enjoy the pleas.
ures of the carnival.
The shooting occurred about
1870 O'Clock tonight, and The
streets were well filled with peo-
pie. Consequently the affair
attracted much attention, and
many drew their revolvers and
fired into the shadows that con-
realed the skulking coward. In
the melee Town Marshal Burts
was shot in the leg, and Marvin
Hollen was wounded in the neck
Both the men are supposed to
have been wounded BY The shots
iii ID by the indignant people of
the city.

To HELP
HEALTH BOARD

There is a deal on between the
crematory department and health
department whereby it is expected
that hereafter all inspection Of
dirty alleys and vaults will be done
by man of the crematory depart
ment. This will relieve the health
department of two inspectors. The
health department had contem-
plated asking the council for the
right to appoint three additional
inspectors tonight, but since the
erematory department negotiations
are on in all probability the health
department will withdraw the re-
quest.
There are at present five health
inspectors, and according to Health
Officer Grieve If the crematory de-
partment will look after alleys and
vaults the department can get
along with that number for some
time yet.
The crematory department last
month was self-sustaining, and the
probabilities are that in another
month it will be making some
money and can afford to put on in
spectors, thus relieving the health
department of the added expense.

NORTH COAST
OUT IN OPEN

McCrea e. Merryweath, real es-
tate agents who several months
ago purchased Ide av. property,
ostensibly for railroad purposes
but who had always refused to tell
what railroad company they repre-
scented, gave up the desired in
formation to the council street
committee yesterday afternoon in
a letter from Robert E. Strahorn,
president of the North Coast. 1t
was at the conference between the
property owners of lde av. and the
street committee. Since the rail-
road began to purchase lots along
the avenue, the street improve
ment was held up by McCrea &
Merryweather's request. But the
insistence of other property own
ers, however, finally got the COM
mittee to work. For several times
the agents succeeded in having the
improvement postponed. But yes
terday in last effort it was forced
TO divulge its identity. The i'm
provement was ordered notwith-
standing, as no application for fran
chise has been made and the deal
looks speculative. Strahorn offer
ed to grade and sidewalk the north
side of lde from Cedar to Oak as a
compromise.

council. The committee recon.
mended that the wooden water sys-
tens of the Whitehouse Heights

MORE WOODEN PIPE

A., L. White and Fred Grinnell

FIREMAN QUITS
UNDER CLOUD

w. c. Hasbrouck, fireman at sta

and the fire commissioners ap-
pointed H. A. SWEET in his place
on probation. Hansbrouck was
mixed up in the recent fire depart
ment scandal over a young girl in
which Glen Clark, of station No.
9, fed the city and several fire.
men resigned.
The cases against Hansbrouck
and Walcott have not yet been dis
missed, but probably will be, as the
blame for the girls downfall is at
tributed to Clark since his flight.
