accounts in the very best play he has

ANOTHER SERIOUS
SHOOTING AFFRAY

George Coy, young man of his
place, who is working for Sheriff
Sam Brown, shot and seriously
wounded Frank Carroll of Shannon
on the streets here last Saturday
night. The bullet entered the left
thigh, badly fracturing tie bone.
Carroll was carried to a room in the
Melers building where he was made
as comfortable as possible. Coy
gave himself up to the officers and
was placed in Jail until Monday
morning, when he was released un-
der 81 800 bond for his appear
ance at the next term of circuit
court. Owing to the desperate
character of the wound received bv
Carroll he was taken to Memphis
Sunday and placed in the care of
specialists. He was accompanied
by DR.. G, M. Black, who remained
with him until Tuesday night. DR..
Black states that the wounded man
suffered great deal and was so
weak when they reached Memphis
that an operation was deferred un-
til Tuesday afternoon. He states
that the wound is very serious one
and that it will be several weeks,
perhaps months, before Carroll can
walk, even If be does not suffer the
loss of the limb entirely.
We have been unable to obtain
all the facts leading up to the shoot,
ing, although it is SAID to have been
the result of drunken row. Car
roll was drinking and had been alb
using Coy. The latter left HIM at
one time and started home, but was
overtaken by Carroll at the corner
in front of Reigler's store. Coy
claims that Carroll rushed at him
with a knife when he drew his pis-
tol aud fired twice. The hrst shot
missed and Carroll turned half
around when the second shot struck
him. Buck Douglas, who was the
-Grst person TO approach Carroll af.
ter he was shot, states that CarrolPs
knife was lying by his side when
be reached him.
Coy is a single man and has al
ways been of a quiet, inoffensive
disposition. Carroll is about forty
years of age and has family.

WORK ON NEW DEPOT
TOBEGIN SOON

We are advised by the Frisco
Railroad officials that work on the
new depot at this place will begin
at an early date. The new building
will be located on the new tracks,
just north of the Waters-Pierce oil
tanks.
The building which the company
now contemplates erecting here will
be disappointment to the citizens
of Pocahontas, who have been ex.
pectlng that a nice, substantial and
commodious structure, one which
would reflect credit on the company
and the town, would be erected.
We understand the company has
instructed for the building of No.
3 depot, which will be but little, if
any better, than the one we now
have.
A citizens meeting will probably
be called within the next day or two
for'the purpose of petitioning the
company to give us something more
substantial.
The present passenger depot will
be moved 70 the south side of the
street from where it is now located
and with ffty,foot addition will
be used as freight depot.
