REWARD FOR
ASSANANT
RAISED
Three Shots Fired at Miller Bell.
Georgia City Is Greatly
Shocked.
MILLEDGEvILLE, Nov. T.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. T.
An attempted assassination of
Mayor Miller S. Bell at 2:15
| clock this morning has excited
the city more than any other
event o frecent occurrence, and
already an indignation meeting
has been held by the citizens and
reward of $500 for the ap-
pehension of tn equity party
been offered by the City Coun-
ell.
Three bullets from pistol were
fred through a window into the
room where Mr.. Bell usually sleeps,
and two of them lodged in the
bed, one penetrating the very pillow
usually used by Mr.. Bell. 1t SO hap
pened that last night he retired in the
room adjoining the one generally &C.
'upied by him. His usual bed was
occupied by his young son, who, how
ever, slept on the side .arthest from
the window, whereas Mr.. Bell inva-
riably sleeps next to the window. Had
the Mayor been in his accustomed
place the bullet, which ripped the pill
low, would have crashed into his
head.
Blind Tigers" Suspected.
Recently Mayor Bell and the Coun-
ell engaged three detectives to secure
evidence against the blind tiger" OPP
orators here, and upon the strength
Of the evidence thus obtained sixteen
warrants were sworn out this week
These sixteen defendants, nine OF
whom are white men, are on trial to-
day. The feet that one of the detee-
lives, a negro, was badly beaten M
Wednesday night by five men, two Of
whom the negro recognized as blind
tigers" leads to the suspicion that
perhaps some of the liquor men nad
a hand in the attempted assassina :
ton.
Mayor Bell is chancellor command
er OF the Grand Lodge of the knights
Of Pythias of Georgia and is presi
dent of the Milledgeville Banking
Company.
Indignation Meeting.

pated in by nearly all of the citizens
Of Milledgeville, and the City Council
and County Commissioners wers
called upon to employ detectives and
offer rewards. The Council met i'm
mediately afterward and agreed ID
engage detectives and offered the re-
ward Of $1,000. Other offers aggre-
eating $4,000 were announced later.
