SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY
Ex.Marshall Taylor Wounded by Berry
Jones Friday Afternoon.

Harrison was startled last Friday
afternoon about $50 by a shooting
affray, infront of the Jones Garage,
when Berry Jones fired four shots at
Ex-MarshaIl Burt Taylor who was
sitting in an automobile, having
stopped to talk with J. X. Jones con-
cerning a former difficulty at the
depot.
The elder Jones disarmed his son
as soon as possible, but not until he
had fired four shots one of which
passed through the Aeshy part Of
TayIor's arm and into his side to the
back, making painful but not neces-
sarily dangerous wound. Other shots
went through the top of the auto and
into the gasoline tank beneath the
seat. Taylor did not shoot, but drove
off at once.
Evidently Taylor did not realize
how bad he was hurt, for it is said he
drove home and left his car and, with
out telling his wife of the trouble,
started back to town when he tainted
from loss of blood. Hehas since been
confined to his bed by the injury,
but it is said he is rapidly recovering
Berry Jones surrendered at once to
Esquire Brooks andwill likely be held
to await the action of the Grand Jury.
He was afterward arraigned before
Mayor Fellows and fined for having
a pistol.

COM N ERClAL CLUB.
Tuesdays Lunch Meeting Gives Most
OF lis Attention to Good Roads.

The usual collection of Town Boos-
tiers were on hand at the bi-monthly
meeting of the Commercial Club
Tuesday noon, and several matters of
vital interest to Harrison were dis
cuSSed.
The Committee in charge of the
recent Good Roads Day movement
MessrS Cooke, Casey, Poynor, Keck,
Maxwell and Davis congratulated
themselves and the Club on the sue
cess of the affair, and suggested that
another Working day be set early in
May when the same road, between
Harrison and Grub Spring be put in
ideal condition. This would be extend
ing Harrison's efforts some five miles
from the city, if last Thursdays work
be considered.
The same committee was retained
with instructions to prepare for a
repetition in the near future.
A. L. Emery submitted a PROPOSE
ton for the erection of a smelling
plant; he figures a plant to handle
80 to IS tons of ore every "a hours
would cost about So, 600; and suggests
that this amount be raised by the
sale of 500 bonds with guaranteed
dividends and to be cancelled in three
years. The matter was referred to a
committee with instruction to report
at next meeting.
The Committee on oiling the streets
about the square reported that the
car of oil would be in this week, and
resolution was passed asking the
City Council to prepare the streets
for the oil as early as possible. Not
only are we needing the benefits bad
ly these windy days, but after the
arrival of the car demurrage at the
rate of dollar a day will be charged.

UNKNOWN MAN DIES
Found with Skull Crushed, has Never
Been able 10 Tell His Name.

After three weeks struggle be-
tween life and death, the unknown
man found below town with his skull
crushed passed away Sunday night
without being able to give any clue
to his identety. 1t is a sad case, be-
cause he told parties for whom he
worked, when he first came to town,
that he had family, somewhere in
the flooded district who were depen-.
dent upon him.
He was first found some three weeks
ago at the cave near the railroad
spring, where evidently some one had
dealt him blow in the back of the
head with rock or club, knocking
him insensible and fracturinghis skull.
He was taken to the city hall, and
given medical attention, but only par
tial consciousness returned, and he
was unable to speak and his arms
were paralyzed. 1t was decided that
this was caused by the indehtation of
the skull, and early last week an oper-
alton trephining the skull was per-
formed.
But he has grown steadily worse
until the end came. He was buried
at three Monday after noon, services
being conducted by Rev. G. w.
| Lester.

On at least two points that the unident-
fled ship had the general outlines Of a
cruiser and that she signalled she was
one, at least five of the Louisana's men
agree. it is said Others are understood
tails about the ship which convinced
them she was man-of-war.
Government officials thus far have been
unable to ascertain that any warship
save the United States collier Neptune
was near the Louisiana at the time the
signals were said to have been seen. Per-

Governments Attitude Modification Insisted
upon

that illegal restrictions are imposed py
the blacklist order upon the freedom Of
American trade is set forth in vigorous

Some modification of the order, it is
believed, is insisted upon. There have
been indications that should diplomat

ed American firms some form of re-
taliatio would be considered by tho
United States.
After PRONUNCIATION of the Trading

ties of undue interference" with
American commerce were contained in

than the actual injury so far accom-
plished. is understood to be given
stress also in the note sent cester-
day.
The British ambassador conferred
with Mr.. Polk today and it is believed
he was given a full explanation of the
basis in international law of this gov
ernment's protest. Individual cases OF
