GUEST Is ACCUSED.

Brookhaven, Miss, Dec. 9i.-In a
quarrel three miles west of this city
Sid Hammond, well-known young man
of Lincoln county, was stabbed twice
in the region of his heart, and as a
result, Marion Smith. with whom he
is said to have been celebrating the
holidays, is in jail on charge of at
tempted murder. The affidavit under
which he is held may be changed at
any hour to a charge of murder, for
Hammond has developed pneumonia
and there appears to be little chance
for his recovery.
Smith was arrested by Sheriff Mont
gomery three hours after the affair
He asserted his innocence and de
clared that he was in bed at the hour
that Hammond was stabbed. How
ever, John Case and Willis Smith
brothers of the alleged assailant, are
said to have been present when the
difficulty occurred, and the authori
ties say they have clear case. Smith
is a cripple widely known in the
county and has wife and five small
children.
