John Holiday, colOred, was almost
literally cut to pieces last night about

by the police and fined for doing bus
mess without a license a few days
ago.
Yesterday Holiday moved the stock
of goods to another building just
across the street, and moved the Ii
cense also. According to witnesses,
Johnson appeared at the store door
last night and called TO Holiday to
come out for a moment as he wanted
to speak with him. Holiday COM
piled, and witnesses say Johnson i'm
mediately attacked him. Within
rev moments those IN the store say
Holiday called for help, saying.
Some one come here quick This
man has cut me to pieces and now
he's ycing to shoot me.
Johnson turned and fed when peo-
pie rushed from the store, which was
crowded at the time.

when arrested.
