with a shot gun, twenty-nlne men,

his body was taken to the center of a

Wade purchased the shot gun and
fearing the buying of shells loaded
with large shot would arouse sus-

the cause of the many wounded not
being killed.
Taking his position in the doorway
of a bank on the principal street, he
began firing at everyone in sight.
The first shot was at J. ]. Jordan,
cashier of the bank, but it missed
him and struck George Mccormack
in the arm and will likely necessttate

reach the negro, was the second man
