COTTY ON ANOTHER
RAMPAGE At GERMANTOWN.

The Germantown correspondent Of
the Augusta Chronicle says:
Johnny Cotty, the colored toothless
wonder, went on a rampage Monday
night. Cotty has an old auto which he
had repaired at Lanes garage. James
Lane asked Cotty to pay for the work,
and in the argument that followed,
Cotty pulled a revolver, but Lane dis
armed the negro. Cotty then secured a
shot gun and there was some shooting,
but no one was injured. The colored
mans reputation is not the best-he
has been in number of scrapes.
