ASHBURN, Ga, Dec. 12.-The curtain
has dropped for the first tragic scene
of the Cochran-Cleghorn encounter, ana
the citizens of town and county have
had no cause for alarm since the two
bullets sped from Cochrans gun on
Monday afternoon The doctors and dep
uties have held the stage since the af-
fray, and only whispers from behind
the scenes have floated out to an eager
public.
At the present the tension is greater
than at any time since the day sad
dened procession reluctantly turned
away from the new made grave of Min
ME Marehman. Eight peace warrants
have been sworn out and only three
served leaving five brothers still at
large including the two who are
wounded
The deputies have been searching for
them since Monday, but so far have
returned empty handed. In a statement
made this morning Deputy Jarman said
that he expected to locate the three
today and relieve the anxiety of the
friends of both families.
1t is a known fact that both March
man and Cochran are determined men,
and should they be challenged by the
Cleghorn brothers, it is possible that
a death struggle would ensue.
The attorneys for Marchman and
Cochran are confident of their acquittal
since the reports of Cochran's shots
were fired in self-defense.
TRIAL rs POSTPONED.
Today was the day set for the COM
mitment trial. but 1T has been post
poned indefinitely. 1t is expected, though,
not to be deferred over week, as re-
ports from Marion and Tan this morn
ing say they are both able to sit up,
and the rapid recovery of both is al
most sure
The wounded brothers were not taken
home as was first supposed, but car
ried to the home of their brother in
Amboy.
No reason for this is known, unless
they desired not to be near the Coch-
rams and Marchmans, who live only
few hundred yards distant.
The three who were bonded out yes
terday by Perry Haman are seen reg
ularly on the streets, and seem to be
satisfied with conditions as they stand.

BROOM FACTORY IN

TO Be ASSURED
COMMITTEE Is MEETING MUCH
ENCOURAGEMENT IN Sc
CURING STOCK.
GOOD sum ALREADY SUBSCRIBED
Believed That Such an Enterprise Lo-
Gated Near the Source of Supply of
Raw Material Would Be Decided
Success-.Good Pay Roll.

It. is practically assured now that
Columbia will have a broom factory.
The committee and Mr. Ledbetter,
the promoter, have met with much
encouragement in their efforts 10 Sc
cure subscriptions to the stock. The
effort is being made to raise So 900
worth of stock and already $4,000
has been raised and it is believed that
sufficient sum of the latter will be
secured TO make the enterprise a sue
coss.
Will unquestionahly be a success.
Similar factories in Nashville and
Memphis which are further removed
from the source of supply of the raw
material are making good money.
There is & profit in the growing OF
broom corn and it is likely that with
a factory in Columbia the production.
d this crop would be very much slim
ulated in Maury county.
Comparatively few of the business
men Nof the county and city have as
yet been seen by the committee and
it is hoped that those who are not
seen but who recognize the value of
such an enterprise to the city will
indicate to the committee or to Mr..
Ledbetter what they will do in the
way of taking stock. The company
when organized and started will en-
ploy dozen or more workers and
as the business grows the payroll
will of course increase.
