A Ct 11
•
Dick Deadeye got in some of his
deadly work Sunday night.
He fired a load of No. 8 shot into
Ous Clark, and as a result that col
ored individual is now minus his good
left arm.
The shooting occurred about 6
o’c'ock Sunday evening on Fifth ave
nue, near the side door of Jervis &
Wright’s drug store.
Clark was standing on the edge of
the side walk when Deadeye, whose
right name is Gus Clarence, came
from across the street with a shot gun
in bis hands. He raised it and fired,
- the charge entering Clark’s right arm-
Deadeye walked off, and a few mo.
ments afterward Chief of Police
Shropshire walked up.
“There he goes, Mr. Shropshire,’’
-called some one, and Deadeye hearing
it, turned and walked back, • giving
h mself up.
Clark was taken to his home where
Dr. McCall and Dr. Hanis amputated
his arm, which was shot to pieces.
Clark said Deadeye shot him for
• nothing.
Deadeye was locked up in the police
station, and yesterday morning was
transferred to jail.
To a Tribune reporter he said he
had shot Clark because Clark had
threatened to kill him and he thought
was going tptry to do it. He said
that about 1 o’clock Sunday Clark and
he had some words about fifteen cents
he claimed Clark owed him, and Clark
had struck him and drew a knife on
him, saying he would kill him
next time he saw him. This was in
front of Pavoloski’s, he said. Then
He went home und got his shotgun.
At the place where the shooting occur
red, he says Clark started at him with
his hand in his pocket.
“I thought he was going to shoot
me,” he continued, “as I knew he
carried a pistol. So I blazed away.”

TELLS A STRANGE STORY.
Railroad Agent Disappears and Reappears
In a Very Mysterious Manner.
Hahira, Ga., Oct. 12.—Lucien Miley
turned up at his father’s home, six miles
above Hihara, in an awful predicament.
He was gagged and his hands were tied
behind him. He was almost daft from
excitement and told a story that rivals
a fairy tale iu mystery.
He stated that he remembered noth
ing that has happened since Tuesday
night, nor does he know where he lias
been, what he has been doing or how he
•was gagged and tied. He was the agent
of the Georgia Southern road at Lake
Park, also agent of the express company
at the same place.
Last Tuesday night he left on the
night train for Hahir i to visit his pa
rents. People from this city saw him
aboard the train, but saw nothing of
him afterwards. When the train reached
Hahira the conductor stated that he did
not get off there, and when his unex
plained absence from his duties became
known the railroad and express officials
began an investigation, which found his
affairs all right.
He is a married man and the son of
James B. Miley, a prominent farmer
and millman in the Hahira district.

and Eclipse All Previous Lfforig
In This Line.
Readers of The Tribune have
learned to look forward to each new
and successful achievment of Rome’s
great daily. We have issued several
special editions since the present
management has been in charge and
we are happy to say that each and
every one has been an improvement
on its predecessor as has been evinced
by the popular public favor with
which they have been received.
Early in October we intend to issue
a special edition which will eclipse
our previous efforts. Rome is steadily
growing and there is healthy and sub
stantial improvement going on all
over the section of country tributary
to the North Georgia metropolis. Now
is the time to keep our advantages
before the pedple.
In no other way can this be done
quite so successfully as through the
medium of a widely circulated news
paper like The Tribune. Every edi
tion of a special character that we
have gotten out has gone abroad on
its mission of progress and the results
have been made apparent by the at
tention attracted to this section of
country.
We have endeavorad to make every
edition as full and complete as possi
ble, but in this one we want to cover
the whole ground. All that we ask is
the liberal co-operation of the people
for whom we have labored so earnestly
and for whom we expect to continue
to work as long as we control the des
tinies of The Tribune
It will be to the interest of every
busit- :or professional man in North
and North and East Alabama,
■ secure space in this great issue
The merchant, the manufacturer, the
land owner, the mine operator, the
professional man and all who are in
terested in educational, industrial
work, or emigration work, will he
benefitted by represention in its col
umns.
Not less than ten thousand readers,
in every part of the country, and
especially in the West and Northwest,
will read this great edition and profit
by the information gained from its
columns. Our solicitors are .already
| out and will make a thorough canvass
! of the country contiguous to Rome
and we bespeak for them the consider
ation which they are entitled to in
promoting this laudable enterprise in
the interest of our city and section.
