new ELECTRIC
Company FORMED
p. J. Guerin And e. e. Essiinger Have
Purchased The Dalton Co.
Business.

In today's News appears the first
announcement of Hattiesburg's new
electrical company, The Central Elec-
trio Company, of which P. j. Guerin
is manager and f. E. Esslinger is Sec
rotary. This is not in reality new
establishment, Though the company is
new, and has bought the stock, equip
ment and business of the Dalton Elec-
tic Company The new firm will be
thoroughly equipped in all things cleo
t1ical, both in the supply, repair and
contracting department, and will be in
position to handle jobs of any magni-
tude.
The personal equation in business
IS always the most important one, for
the success or failure of any enterprise
depends in very large measure on the
men at the head of the enterprise. In
this respect the Central Electric Com
pany is especially fortunate. Mr..
Guerin has been manager of the Dali
ton Electric Co. since its establishment
here. and 1t is entirely due to his
energy, enterprise and thorough knowi-
edge Of electrical work and equipment
that the company built up one OF the
largest electrical businesses that this
city has ever had. Thoroughly accom-

BOTH M'COMB =. p.
DUELISTS dead
Fortinberry Died Within Hour After
Being Shot and Killing,
Ellzey.

McComb City, March 3O.-G. C.
Ellzey and A. G. Fortinberry, friends
for many years, quarreled yesterday
morning, met again a little later,
fought with revolvers and both are
dead.
Scores in Main street at a few min
utes before noon saw the fight, one
of the most desperate in which two
men ever engeged. Fortinberry, fatal
ly wounded by Ellzey's first shot, had
strength enough left to wrestle with
his slayer, tear his revolver from him
and shoot Ellzey FIVE times. Then
he fell in his tracks, and died a little
later at the sanitarium.
What caused the quarrel is not
known. Fortinberry before he died
made only the statement that Ellzey
shot first. He then REPEATED the Lords
Prayer after the Rev. P. D. Hardin,
and died.
Close friends Of the two men knew
they had quarreled early in the day,
but had no premonition of any serious
trouble.
Ellzey was standing In the door of
M. Hainer's jewelry store, when For
tinberry came down the street, and
the two met for the second time in

on"
Ellzey wheeled around and walked
into the store, Fortinberry following,
AS soon as Fortinberry was inside
Ellzey drew his revolver and said:
On you, I'll kill you now"
He began shooting. One bullet
struck Fortinberry between the ninth
and tenth rib on the left side. the
other glanced on his arm.
Fortinberry then grappld with ELL
zey and fierce struggle ensued, which
brought the men through the vesti-
bule and upon the sidewalk.
Fortinberry, the bullet hole through
his body, still had the strength to tear
Ellzey's gun from him. Ellzey then
turned and ran, but Fortinberry drew
his own weapon, shot Bllzey down
with one bullet, and fired four more
into his head and neck as he lay.
Fortinberry then collapsed, both weap-
ons gripped in his hands. He was
taken to the hospital, where he died
in an hour.
Ellzey was a son of Cliff Ellzey, a
farmer, who lives near Holmesville,
who was driving into town and ar
rived ten minutes after the tragedy.
Fortinberry's family lives in Copiah
county. Both men were brakemen
on the Illinois Central.

AS an innovation both enterprising
managers saw the advantage in hand
ling a book play The plan is this:
With every dollar and a half seat re-
served at the store a copy Of this stir
ring novel will be given free.
These seats are exehangeabIe for
the regular coupon tickets any time
after the opening of the regular seat

is almost here there is no doubt that
a great number of Vinita theatre
goers will avail themselves of this op-

and at the same time see the play for
one price The books will not be
given with the seats purchased at the
