100000 SUIT AGAINST CITY.

KILLED IN oFFICBRs' HANDS.
Man in Crowd Ends Life Of Froba-
bly, Innocent Negro.
(Toccoa, Ga, Record, Nov. Ply

oCcod, H"., IteCOTu, NOV. Zf.)
News reached Toccoa Tuesday
night that eel" Allen, a colored man
living near Eastanollee, had been
shot and killed that evening while
bringing him to TOccoal to lodge him
in jail.
Deputles 81. c.. Roberts and j. G..
Thcmas were the oficers who had
Allen In charge. They had arrested
ing him with an attempt to assault
q white woman who was picking
cotton in Tate Stoves field, near
E~astanolle, Monday afternoon.
County Coroner Phillips went to
the scene Of the shooting Tuesday
and held an inquest.
The woman on whose complaint
the colored man was arrested testi-
field that she, with two small chill
dren, was picking cotton in the
field Monday, when she saw Allen
coming toward her with q gun. Fear
ing that he meant to do her harm,
she left her work, and, taking the
children with her, hurried to her
home. She said she knew Allen, but
did not know at the time that he
was the man who followed her. She
said she first reported the matter to
Tate Stowe. There was no direct
testimony tending to implicate Allen
with criminal intent.
Deputy V. G. Roberts testified that
he. and Deputy j. G. Thomas went
TO Aliens house and arrested him
Monday night. Allen acknowledged
that he was the man who crossed
the cotton field. When they arrested
the man there was a crowd present,
probably fifty, and the officers
started down the road, II on either
side Of the prisoner. Roberts said
there was no noise or disturbance,
and he heard nc threats 10 harm the
man. Some men were in front and
some In the rear Of the officers. Sud-
denly some one from behind shot
Allen between the shoulders with
a shot gun, killing him instantly.
After hearing similar testimony
from men who were IN the crowd,
none Of whom could identify the
person who did the shooting, the
jury Of inquest rendered the follow
ing verdict:
I'VE, the Jurors, find that FL Al
len came to his death while a pris-
oner, from the firing Of a shotgun
from the rear, by the hand of an
unknown party"
Persons who have known Allen
from childhood inform The Record
that while he was somewhat indo-
lent, he was not considered to be
criminally inclined. They say he
preferred to tramp around with a
shotgun in search of game than to
earn his living by work. No one
seeks to impeach the word of the
lady, who was no doubt badly
frightened at the approach Of Allen
toward her in the field, but that
through the fear she had of negroes,
she was mistaken regarding his in
tentions. They deplore the affair,
and believe had the law been al
lowed to take its course, the slain
man could have satisfied the public
that he was not intent on commit
ting q crime.

THE DOCTOR.


...f.r . ----------- VI. .....
(Alma G.: WEIGH, In home Lands.)
The doctor drives though rain and
sleet.
And winters colo. and summers
Because somebody has d pain
And all home remedies arc vain.
From early morn till dewy eve
He struggles always 10 relieve
The sorrows of this sad old earth,
And shields us from tho hour Of
birth
Through all the troubles that beset,
And all the ailments that we get
From jaundice when were very
young
To whooping cough and coated
tongue;
And when the reapey comes to town,
And, picking someone, says,
Thumbs Down "
How oft we blame the doctor for
The death, and lay it at his door!
Because some ailing gent or dame
Has passed beyond Dur worlaly ken,
Far from the busy haunt$ az men.
I've known Of those who vontured
When chill winds blew from out the
north,
Against the doctor orders quite,
And soon we laid tha'n out Of sight;
And then the dear ones would de-
clare
The doctor had not used them fair.
All, sure he treads o rocky road,
Who seeks to bear I'll awful load
he troubles of the human race-
And all their strang' Ii@eases trace.
When days and ME nts arc all the
To him who plays tho weary game,
How sad If we no credit rive
When by his effort We still live.
Then here's three cheers Tor good

Who runs as steady az . clock;
And here's the. wish that life may
hold
A recompense for al no cold,
And all the storms, and all the heat,
And all the times It's J en- his treat.
