ENQUIRER-SON: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2,1890.
BLOOD FLOWS FREELY.
KNIFE AND PISTOL CONTINUE TO
OET IN THEIR DEADLY WORK.
WII.I. WALLACE, the HARRIS COUNTY
DESPERADO, COMES TO THE EKONT
ENGINEER HUCKABEE
mortalev wounded.
The knife anrl pistol drew blood again
in Columbus last night.
Frank Huckabee was shot three times
in the body and lies mortally wounded at
his home on third avenue.
Coon Narramore has a knife wound four
inches long through the wall of the abdo
men, and also has an ugly wound on the
throat. He is dangerously hurt. He is at
No. 1624 Third avenue.
Will Wallace received a scratch on the
face and a small knife wound in the bead.
Wallace is in the county jail. The men
are white.
The three men named engaged in a diffi
culty, with the results stated above, about
<i o'clock last night. The scene of the
difficulty was at No. 1624 Third avenue, a
house occupied by Mrs. A. M. Young, a
relative of Narramore. The particulars of
the. affair, as gathered by a reporter from
the (participants and witnesses, are sub
stantially as follows:
About dusk. J. W. Huckabee, Coon
Narramore and Will Wallace were stand
ing in front of the residence of Mrs.
Young talking. Frank Huckabee passed
by and brushed against Wallace.
Wallace asked J. W. Huckabee
who the man was who brushed against
him and was told that it was Frank Huck-
abce. Wallace then called Frank Hucka
bee. Frank turned and walked back to
wln-re the other three men were standing
arid he and Wallace engaged in a quarrel.
Narramore interfered and he and Wallace
entered the house of Mrs. Young, where
each of them were staying. In a short
time some one knocked on the front door
at the home of Mrs. Young. Narramore
went to the door and found Frank Hucka
bee standing there. Huckabee said lie
wanted to see that man Wallace. Narra-
more told him that he was drunk and
could not see Wallace. Huckabee in
sisted. Mrs. Young came into the room
and pushed Huckabee toward the door.
Huckabee, with liis knife in his hand, ac
cording to the statement of Narra-
more, advanced farther into the
room. Narramore then struck Huck
abee with a chair. The
two men closed with each other and
Huckabee cut Narramore in the abdomen
and in the neck as above stated. About
this time Wallace came into the room.
Huckabee left Narramore and started
towards Wallace. Wallace fired three or
four shots at Huckabee during the scuffle,
which lasted several minutes. The evi
dence about the part Wallace took in the
affair does not appear to be very clear.
(inc statement is that Wallace fired the
first shot at Huckabee when he had Narra
more down on the floor. Another is that
Wallace was lying on the floor when he
did the shooting.
Alter the snooting Huckabee walked out
n r the room and went to his home two
doors above.
i'lie police arrived about this time and
Wallace was placed under arrest and sent
to the county jail.
The condition of Narramore and Huck
abee was such as to render their arrest
unnecessary.
Dr. C. I). Hurt was summoned to attend
Narramore. and was dressing his wouucjs
when the reporter reached the scene. .; q
Drs. Mitchell ami Blanchard attended
II uckabee. They found four bullet holes
bis h/vfv. out of a 44-calibre Smith &
Wesson pistol.
One bail entered an inch and a half to
the right of his left nipple.
Another hall entered ju9t above the hip
bone and lodged near the spine.
Another ball entered the side.
There was also a hole in the back, but
the doctors could not say whether a ball
went in or come out of this hole.
Huckabee’s condition was exceedingly
critical when a reporter called at his home
last night, and it was not thought that he
could possibly survive. His condition was
such that the reporter could not secure a
statement of the difficulty from him.
Huckabee is an engineer on the Columbus
and We-rern road. He has a wife and
two children.
Coon Narramore is about thirty years
of age and is unmarried. He is a farmer
and lives in Harris county.
Will Wallace, the other party to the dif
ficulty, has had rather an eventful career
and is rather a noted character. About a
year ago a negro man named Ranse Cor
don was shot down and killed while pick
ing cotton in his field in Harris county.
Wallace was suspected of the mur
der and for a long time de
fied arrest. He was finally captured
in West Point and carried to jail at Ham
ilton. ()ne night a parly of masked men
broke open the jail and released Wallace.
He went to his home in the mountains
and again defied the officers. One after
noon he rode into Hamilton, armed with
a Winchester rifle and a couple of big pis
tols. He had everything his own way for
a while, but was thrown off his guard
and captured at the depot that
night. Wallace was brought to
Columbus and placed in Muscogee
jail for safe keeping until his trial last
spring at Hamilton. He was acquitted of
the charge of the murder of Ranse Gor
don and gave bond for some minor offence.
Nothing more was heard of Wallace until
the early summer, when he turned up at a
p nie iu Mechanicsville, Lee county,
Alabama. He engaged in a row with
“some of the boys” ami was badly worted.
He received a knife wound which caused
partial paralyse, and still uses a crutch in
walking.
Huckabee was under the influence of
Morphine until about II o'clock last night,
when he grew restless and soon after be
come unconscious. His physician was sent
tor. and his condition was regarded as
extremely critical at midnight.

COLUMBUS IS LUCKY.
HER EXPOSITION WILL HAVE THE
STATE MINERAL EXHIBIT.
SOME news notes about the great
show GATHERED yesterday.
THE OUTLOOK CONTINUES
TO GROW BRIGHTER
AND BRIGHTER.
The State mineral exhibit was loaded on
the cars in Atlanta yesterday, and will
reach Columbus tomorrow. This exhibit
has not been seen at any other exposition
this year—not even at the Piedmont in
Atlanta. The exhibit is a fine one and
makes an admirable display of Georgia’s
mineral resources. The imungDiwnt is to
be congratulated upon having secured the
exhibit.
The Harris county exhibit arrived yes
terday and was delivered at the grounds
by the Colnmbus Railroad Company.
The Talbot county exhibit was shipped
from Macon yesterday, and was expected
to arrive by a late freight last night.
The engine to be used at the Exposition
lias been shipped from Macon.
A large number of stalls are occupied,
and more horses arrive by every train.
The office of the secretary has been
moved to the grounds and hereafter all
business will be transacted there.
A large number of exhibits have already
been received at the grounds, and some of
them are being put in place. Exhibitors
are again urged to get their exhibits in
place as soon as possible. The great show
will open Wednesday, and but two days
are left for exhibitors to get tbings in
shape for the opening. The management
desires as little time as possible
to be lost in getting the big show under
full headway and intends to avoid, so far
as may be possible, the delay and confu
sion usually incident to opening day. In
this matter they ask the co-operation of
all exhibitors.
, Secretary Grimes is one of the busiest
men in town. If he lives through the
next two weeks his family will feel thank
ful.
In a notice of the Exposition the Fort
Valley Enterprise says:
The Chattahoochee Valley Exposition
Company has our thanks for a season pass
into the grounds at Columbus, Ga. The
Exposition will open its gates next Wed
nesday, 5th inst., and will continue until
the 15th inst. A large and attractive dis
play has been placed in position, the
amusements will be numerous and inter
esting, and the Exposition has been ex
tensively and liberally advertised. The
finest racers in the South will be on the
track, and altogether a first-class exhibi
tion is assured.
Under the heading of “The Great
Show,” the West Point Press says:
The next attraction in Georgia is the
Chattahoochee Valley Exposition. The
nanagement promise a most attractive
program every day, and we are satisfied the
promises will be kept to the letter. In every
department space is being filled up and in
side and outside attractions will be better
than ever before. Low rates have been
secured on all railroads running into the
city and the prospect is that an immense
crowd of people will congregate in the city
of factories every day from the opening of
the big show on the 5th of November until
the close on the 15th. If you want to
have a real season of enjoyment go to the
Chattahoochee Valley Exposition.
Messrs. Homer Dudley and J. B. Banks,
of Union Springs, arrived about midnight
last night in charge of thirty fine Alabama
raised colts. These, colts were all raised
in Bullock county. They are beauties,and
will be greatly admired by the thousands
of people who will flock to the city to see
the great Exposition.
A Series of Grand Entertain
ments.—That is what the Public Library
is providing for the madding crowd. This
wili Indeed be a gala week in the history
of Columbus. Few cities of its size can
run a mammoth festival and an Exposition
together. The management is complete,
and it works this way: Wherever the fes
tival falls short the Exposition comes to
the front, and vice versa. Everybody
wants to go to the Exposition, cooks and
all. Get your lunches from the festival.
The Exposition provides no amusement at
night, the festival does by a large majority.
The Italian band will delight the
harmonious ear and the light fantas
tic toe. The veranda will be enclosed and
“dancing indulged in until a late hour.”
Vocal solos, duets and trios, mandolin
solos, an exhibition of the phonograph,
the tambourine dance, recitations, and
something brand new from New York that
we’ve promised not to tell about. All
promise to excel anything ever seen here.

Cotton News.—Carter & Bradley,
warehousemen and commission mer
chants, issued th^ following circular letter
to their customers yesterday:
“We have had another gloomy day in
the cotton market. Liverpool came in
dull and depressed, at 1-164, £c decline on
spots and several points lower on con
tracts. New York also closed weak, sev
eral points on futures and 1-16 on spots;
middlings 9fc. The sales in this market
have been large today on a basis of 9c for
middlings, but the lower grades continue
plentiful and can only be sold at prices
ranging jrom 8 to 8jc. We sincerely hope
that the market has about touched bottom
for a while at least, but our advises con
tinue very bearish, and we may see still
lower prices.”
The Next Attraction.—Colnmbus
theatre-goers anticipate with much pleas
ure the production of the “Fast Mail” at
Springer Opera House Monday evening.
This pretty melodrama compares favora
bly wiih the Silver King, but is rather
more spectacular and exciting than that
play. It is likely that a big audience will
assemble Monday evening to witness the
first production of this play in Columbus.

I. L. Poulard & Co.—The New Crock
ery Store people seem to be making extra
effort to have a pretty, exhibit. They are
wide awake. When the time conies they
will show Up with the best. They have
beautiful and artistic goods, a large space
in the center of the main building, many
pretty tilings to give away as souvenirs,
and from appearances they will hold up
their end of the work.
Watches.—A visit to Schomburg’s
jewelry store can’t fail to convince any in
telligent person of the very superior se
lection of Gold and Silver Watches, both
for ladies and gentlemen. In answer to
the question why he keeps such large
stock of these valuable goods, Mr. Schom
burg stated that everything else being
equal, people will naturally go where they
find the largest variety, and furthermore
that he has spared no pains in selecting
his stock, and as he has ample experience
been established in business for eigh
teen years in the storehouse 1115 Broad
street, he certainly does not lack capacity,
and, thanks to his friends, has ample capi
tal at his command to furnish the very
best at lowest prices.
The New Home Sewing Machine Com
pany have almost completed their booth
near the center of the main building at
Exposition grounds for their exhibit, and
have received at their office, 1119 Broad
street, the handsomest lot of sewing ma
chines ever pat on exhibition anywhere.
Among the New Home’s exhibit will be a
desk and sewing machine combined, which
is quite a unique piece of mechanical work;
when closed is a neat little desk, and the
machine is protected from dust and other
abuses. Mr. and Mrs. .J. S. Covey, who
have had charge of the New Home’s ex
hibit in Atlanta and other places, will
have charge of the exhibit here.

RHODES A- CO’S HANDSOME PRIZE OF A
$35 DRESSING CASE.
On the 21st of September last A. G.
Rhodes’ Furniture Company published
an annonneement in the Enquirer-Sun,
offering a prize of a handsome dressing
case, valued at $35, for the best article by
a Columbus lady on the subject of “A
Model Home.” All contributions were to
be in by the first of November, and it was
stated that the result would be announced
in Sunday’s Enquireh-Sun. There
were twelve competitors for the prize,
and yesterdav morning the various articles
were submitted to the judges selected, who
gave each one a careful reading, and after
deliberation awarded the prize to the ar
ticle of Mrs. Dr. Gautier, as covering the
principal points of a model home in the
most concise and comprehensive style.
The handsome dresser will therefore be

fearful condition. [ heard of P. P. P. (Prickly

what the ingredients were—as the formula is on
tliebotile—I concluded to try it, and after tak
ing three small bottles was able to go down town
and attend to my business, and I must say that J
feel like another man. Am now taking the large
size,aud today I believe that I wi'l soon be as
likely as an man of sixty-one years of age can
expect to be. A. C. LANG.

The Cause of Pain.
An ache or pain is not of itself a dis
ease, it is but a symptom, and warns the
sufferer that there is something the mat
ter with his physical organization. Weak
kidneys, bad blood, and nervousness are
frequently the sourse or cause of the many
mysterious aching sensations that afflict
the body. You can remove the cause of
such distress by using B. B. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm).
C. H. Robetts, Atlanta, Ga., writes:
“My kidneys were disordered and gave me
excruciating pain. A single bottle of B. B.
B. helped me wonderfully.”
William N.‘ Nelson, McDonough, Ga.,
writes: “B. B. B. has benefited my
daughter very much. She was afflicted
with severe nervousness. I think it the
best family medicine.”
W. R. Ellis, Brunswick, Ga., writes:
“I have tried B. B. B. and it is a great
thing for the blood. It also cured me of
rheumatic pains.”
Ladies, meet your chairmen at the Library
