J. P. Callaway Gives Bond.
On Wednesday last, Mr. John P.
Callaway who killed Hon. I. P. Tison,
of Lee county, appeared before Judge
Crisp, and waived a committal trial.
Ho was required to give a bond of
♦5,000 for his appearance at
Superior Court of Lee county. The
bond was given. E. G. Simmons, Esq.,
and F. II. West, Esq., are the attorney
for Mr. Callaway.
The California magnates are credited
with an amount of wealth which would
comfortably support a small country,
Mr. diaries Crocker is stated to he
worth $34,495,458; Mr. Iceland Stan

THE LEESBURG TRAGEDY.
The unfortunate tragedy which oc
curred at Leesburg, on Wednesday
night, the 27th of October, is thns de
scribed by the Albany Xewt and Ad
vertiser.
Messrs. Tison and Callaway were
both merchants of Leesbnrg, the lormer
being interested in two or perhaps three
stores in the place. It seems that Mr.
Tison was greatly under the influence
of liquor on Wednesday night, and
went to the store of Mr. Callaway and
raised a disturbance, shooting off his
pistol in the house, and making him
self disagreeable generally. Mr. Calla-
The report from the

the extent of £30,000. There ha’

> the s
t the t
ittemling a political meeting a»
the Conrthonse. Being unable to quiet
Mr. Tison, and fearing tronble, Mr. T.
J. Mason, the clerk in the store, sent
for Mr. Callaway, who soon arrived.
When he reached his store, however,
Mr. Tison had left, having gone over to
his son’s store on the opposite side of
the street and railroad. Upon learn
ing what had transpired daring his ab
sence, Mr. Callaway went over to
where Mr. Tison wes, and asked the
latter what he meant by shooting off
his pistol and raising such a disturb
ance in his store. Mr. Tison made no
apology or satisfactory explanation of
his conduct, but asked Mr. Callaway
what he proposed to do about it. As
to what followed right here there is a
conflict in the statements that are made.
d by one of the witnesses that
Mr. Callaway started to draw his pis
tol, when Mr. Tison, with more dexter
ity, drew his pistol and got “the drop”
on Callaway, when the latter retreated.
Another statement is that Callaway had
pistol, or that he did not draw it.
All agree, however, that Callaway re
nted and went back to his store.
It appears that when Callaway re-
rned to his store he entered and lock
ed the door, his clerk, Mason, and an
other man, Jno. A. Webb, being in the
house with him. Tison, following
Callaway, soon knocked at the door.
Finding it locked, he commenced trying
to enter by violence. Failing to break
the door down, he opened fire on it with
his pistol. Not being satisfied with
this, he cither went or sent to his son’s
d got a Henry rifle, and with
this fired one or two balls through the
door. There are also marks on the
door which show that the muzzle of
the gun must have been thrust agains
it with great force.
Mr. .lames Salter, an intimate friem.
of Mr. Tison’s, and the Sheriff of the
county, was sent for, and when he ar
rived at the place found Mr. Tison
pounding on the door. Mr. Salter at
once took hold of him and tried to lead
him away, bat what followed shows
that he did not succeed. Just here wc
let by conflicting statements again.
Mr. Salter, assisted by some one else,
it seems, got Mr. Tison away from the
front door. The front door of the store
opens on the street on the west side of
the railroad, and the back door opent
a cotton patch which snrrounds
ear. The next that we hear of Mr.
n after he was led away from the
front door, he is pushing rails off the
fence and making his way to the rear
door. He evidently thought that Cal
laway was still in the store, as did also
Mr. Salter and the other friends who
with him, but it seems that Cal
laway had passed out through the hack
door, and was either in the fence cor-,
ner about ten or fifteen yards from the
rear of the house, or just over the fence
in his yard.
In approaching the rear door from
the point where he crossed the fence,
Tison was also advancing towards
where Callaway, or whoever fired the
fatal shot, was evidently standing,
shown by the range of the shot through
the tops of the cotton stalks.
It appears that Mr. Salter and a
other man had hold of Mr. Tison wli
he was shot, and that one or two others
were near by, Mr. Ed. Floyd,
Mr. Tison’s clerks, being near enough
to receive a shot in his hat. One r«
port says that it was Mr. John Hainei.
one of Mr. Tison’s clerks, who had
hold of him with Mr. Salter, and
other says that it was Mr. Tison’s
Re this as it may, Mr. Tison had ap-
proachad within a few feet of the back
door, when a gun fired from the posi
tion already pointed out. Mr. Tison
staggered back and said, “Boys, be'lias
killed me.” These were his last words.
Those who had hold of him eased him
to the ground, and he was a dead
in a few minutes.
The nature and locality of the fatal
charge is fully described in the testi
mony of witnesses printed below. It
will also be seen that it is in evidence
that Mr. J. P. Callaway fired the fatal
shot.
Tison leaves a wife and a family of
children to mourn his sad death. H*
remains lay in state at bis residence i
Leesbnrg until half past three o’clock
Thursday afternoon, when they were
followed by a large procession to the
family burying ground at Starkville
for interment.
.Following is the testimony of the
witnesses sworn at the coroners ii
James Sai.ter, sworn, says:
Witness knows the deceased. • Sa 1
him right behind Mr. Callaway’s stoi.
last night, 27th of October. Saw him
right there when he was shot and had
him by the arm. Witness, and deceas
ed, John Hagen, Sam Tison, Ed.
Floyd were present, and we were going
arouad to the store. Witness had de
ceased by the arm, and we were talking.
John Callaway said, “God damn you.
I’ll kill you,” and shot him. Deceased
lived five or six minutes after h<
shot. Mr. Callaway was standing
along by the side of the coi
close to the fence, in jam of f
store. Witness and deceased
over fifteen steps or yards from John
Callaway when he fired the shot, i
was behind Mr. Callaway’s store ii
Lee county. Witness was not lookin'
for any attack from that quarter
Everything seemed to be quiet at tha.
time. The body of deceased is up at
Tison’s house. That was not the place
of killing. Deceased was moved from
the place of killing to the brick store by
witness, and his wife had him removed
hence. The place that his wife had
him moved to is the place where the
jury viewed the body. Witness got on
the spot abont twenty minutes before
deceased was killed. He was told that
there was a fuss; that Tison was in hii
brick store drunk, and Callaway wat
after him, is the reason he went down
there. Witness is Sheriff of the coun
ty. Witness went down there to stop
it and bring Mr. Tison away. Deceas
ed was at Callaway’s front door and
was knocking at the door with a pistol
or gun. He does not know which.
They went aronnd the store and got
behind the chimney and stopped and
started to tain back, when deceased
was shot. Deceased made no other
demonstration while witness was there,
bat knocking oa the door. It was the
store-house that deceased was drinking
at. Mr. Callaway was not in that oi
any other bonce when ho fired. Wit
ness was going to bring deceased home
when he was shot, and started to do so.
Deceased was drank and didn’t know
where he was going to, when witness
discovered he was so drank he jumped
over the fence after him to bring him
away. John Callaway was also present
at the killing. There might have been
other persons present, but witness
didn’t see them. Mr. Tison fell right
at the back of the store chimney,
four or fire yards from it. Witness
saw Mr. Callaway jnst as the gun was
fired and just after he ran towards them
between the two stores. Witness does
not know where .Callaway is; he under
stands he has left the place. A war
rant has been placed in witness’ hands
for his arrest, and the reason he is not
arrested is because he can’t find him.
Witness recognized Mr. Callaway dis
tinctly, and is certain it was him.
Witness is certain that Callaway was
the field and ran between the two
>rcs. Witness polled deceased from
the front door, and deceased said he
ould kill witness, witness re)died that
he had nothing to kill with. Deceased
then said that he wanted to see John
Callaway. Deceased had a Henry
rifle iu his left hand when he was shot;
wasn’t loaded, for witness snapped
several times afterwards.
Deceased said Callaway had come
and attacked him to his, deceased’s
d he wanted to settle it. This
tion occurred about twenty
before he was shot at the front
door of Mr. Callaways’ store. There
threats made while they w
back of store. Witness told deceased
with him, he said he
would do it and started to turn when
.hot. When Mr. Tison told
witness he would go with him, it was
‘ a loud enough tone to be heard from
lere the gut, was fired. Witness
ows of no shooting previous to the
shooting by Mr. Callaway. Witness
doesn’t think he heard firing before
that. Witness says he doesn’t think
the feeling existing between Callaway
and deceased was good for two or three
past. Witness didn’t see Mr.
Mason at all, but he.saw the door o)»cn
~~ Callaway went in after tlie firing,
d the light was dim. Witness had
conversation with Callaway at all.
The conversation between witness and
deceased conld perhaps have been heard
by a person in the store or by a person
standing where the shot was fired. De
ceased had his rifle in his hand at the
front door and would have taken it
from him, John Haynes told Witness
loaded, bnt that Deceased got
it out of his, Haynes’ store. Deceased
'd, “boys he has killed me,” after he
s shot. Deceased had nothing but
the gun at the time he was shot. John
Haynes took pistol from him at front
door of store. Witness was not ex
pecting an attack from any quarter; he
didn’t think anybody was about, but
he thought Mr. Mason was in store.
Callaway came pretty close to witness
n between the two houses,, not
or twelve feet, and he could
easily recognize him, then, if not be
fore, he recognized his voice first, and
hen he came nearer he also recognized
Dn. Coi.emax sworn says:
Witness saw the person of deceased
exposed after death. There were some
him: Witness don’t know
how many nor what. The wounds ap-
d to be shot wounds. Some shot
appeared small and some large. Wit-
couldn’t tell how far the gun was
fired from deceased from distribution
of shot in wounds. The thick part of
the wound was below the st'
breast bone. Couldn’t tell ii
shot there were, bnt he appeared to be
foil of wounds they were so thick.
Dn. Love sworn savs:
Witness is a physician. Witnes
examined the body of deceased, he wa
called to him and he was dead when h
got tliere. There wore a great man
wounds on his body; it was a gun slu
wound and appeared to be done with a
doubled barreled gun for a great ma
small shot were sticking in his clot hi
There were three wounds close togctl
and appeared to be done with bucksln
or something of that kind The won
appeared to be done with bird shot and
buck shot put on top of them, from the
shot -being so mncli scattered and sj>ent
some of them sticking in his clothe.*
The person who fired the gun mm
have been some little distance from dt
ceased. Witness couldn’t guess with
in a few yards. The average distanc
of the wounds where the shot struck
the skin mnst have been tliree or foi
to tlie square iueb. From appearam
of deceased witness does think he had
lost a great deal of blood externally,
Witness thinks that deceased died from
a shock of nervous system, occa
sioned bv the wounds on the body.—
Deceased was jnst/ in the edge of c
ton patch, behind the chimney, fi
six or eight feet from it; he was lyi
upon his Lack with head pointing ii
Northeast direction. Deceased was
dead when witness reached him; he wa
lying in an enclosed plaoe and had m.
been moved. Witness is satisfied tba
wonnds prod need his death. Bnt
few of the small shot penetrated far ir
to the body. It must have been th
three buck sbor wounds that were tuo*
fatal.
John Haynes sworn, says:
When the fuss began Mr. Tison wa
in Mr. Callaway’s store, and foolirq
with a negro fired off a pistol. I heard
it when it fired and closed the door an
went over and got him and trough
him to the brick store, and Mr. Calla
way came over and told him he want
ed to see him a minute, and Mi
Callaway and deceased walked
about four or five steps from me,
itness, and Mr. Callaway told him
he didn’t like the way he had been
treated, and deceased asked him what
going to do abont it, and then
Mr. Callavay stepped hack and tried
draw his pistol, and got it about
half out, and Mr. Tison drew his first
and Mr. Callaway run. Tison got his
out by being quicker than Callaway,
and then Mr. Tison went on over to
Mr. Callaway’s store and told hiui to
come out and settle it; to give a show
ing. Witness tried to get Mr. Tison
off hut couldn’t do it, and become back
to get Mr. Salter and Floyd to help
him, and they come down and l>egged
him to go back and he wouldn’t do it
ud deceased went aronnd the corner
f store and went over fence, and we
all followed him over there, we walked
about tenor twelve feet from the fence,
and John Callaway was sitting in the
corner of fence, between the house and
fence, and fired and shot Mr. Tison,
jumped over the fence and run, and an
other man, who appeared to be Mr.
ire, ran in the house from the cor-
of store and slammed the door. In
the meantime a negro named Green
Watkin told witness iu fi
that he bad better take Mr. Tison away
from there; that they had fixed a plan
to kill him, and deceased said, “God
damn, let them kill. This was before
witness came after Mr. Salter and
Floyd. At the time deceased was shot
he was making no eftort to hurt any
body. They were not expecting an
attack from anybody, from the fact
that Mr. Salter and Floyd was hold
ing him, and they were as good met
as deceased. Witness was standing
close enough for two buck shot to hit
him, one went through vest and the
other through shirt and shot a cedar
pencil in two that was in vest pocket.
At the time Mr. Tjson pulled his pis
tol at brick store deceased made no ef
fort to shoot Callaway. As he n
be said was to square himself and
in; he pnlled oot his pistol and cocked
it. Tim party that fired the gun
jumped over the fence and rani into
Mr. Callaway’s yard; witness was
about twenty-five feet from him; knows
Mr. Callaway, and would swear posi
tively that he was the man that fired
the gnu. The other man ran into the
honse and slammed the door. The
that ran into the store was stand
ing at the corner of store right in the
passage, rather between deceased and
nan that shot and was abont ionr
re short steps from deceased at the
he was shot. Deceased had a
Henry rifle in his hand when he was
shot which he got out of his (Haynes)
hand at brick store, and fired in front
of Callaway’s door. After he fired the
ball out there was no load in the gun,
and he couldn’t fire again until tho old
11 was thrown out, which was not
ne. Mr. TisonJired the gun at the
ire door, but it wasn’t fired at any
rsou. Deceased fired his pistol two
three times in front of Callaway’s
door before witness went for Salter and
Floyd, but fired it at nobody, bnt sup
posed the balls went through the door.
Mr. Tison got the pistol out of his

was burning. Witness heard deceased

Deceased was very drank. When de

Symptoms of the Epizootic.
For the benefit of the owners of horses
tho following description of the symp-
t>ms is given. The quotation is from
» work generally accepted as standard
authority upon tho horse and hia-dis
eases:
“The first symptom is that the horse
is dumpish, which signifies debility.
To a casual observer the horse looks as
if he had -been sick for months. If
urged to move on he does so after the
fashion of an overgrown elephant. The
eye is indicative also of the disease; its
vessels are turgid, have an arterial red
appearance, (this has, perhaps, led to
e term; ‘pink eve’), the lids become
ollen, and the animal shrinks from
the light as if its rays canned pain; the
trickle over, and now and then a
particle of pnrtnlcnt, lymphy matter
* e seen in the angles of the eye.
inimal seems unable to support
the weight of his head; it either remains
drooping position or he rests it in
the crib. First one hind limb anil then
the other swell, become infilrated with
fluid whjcb constitutes anasarca, or
they may both commence to swell at
once; iu fact, other parts of the body
become dropsical, so that tlie patient
sometimes more resemble* an elephant
than a horse. The swelling of the legs,
be more or less, is considered in
rction with the other fcatnres, the
diagnostic system. It is very different
from that tumefaction which is found
the limbs of many horses, and occa-
■nally by want of exercise. It comes
suddenly, affects tlie whole limb,
groin and sheath. The hair from the
has aa unhealthy asjicct, and a
rough feeling of the ears and nose, and
the limbs are fold or not, according to
the stage of tbc disease. The appetite
is poor from the first, and any attempt
to swallow indicates that the throat is
exceedingly sore, foul, thickly coated,
and saliva runs freely, although not
ys, for in many cases the mouth is
dry. In the course of a few days a nasal
discharge sets iu, and this is considered
favorable crisis. In some instances,
however, the disease terminates in a
troublesome cough.”

Loo;
; for his Grave.
It is not generally known tha
family oi Stuart RoLsou, the popular
comedian, are Georgia people. He hai
a brother now living at Valdosta, am
other relatives in southwestern Georgia
The family name is Stuart, and tin
actor took it for his first name on thi
stage.
One of the brothers was killed ir
front of Atlanta in one of those terrible
fights where the “boys in gray” suffer
ed so terribly. H. was a gallant sol
dier iu the confederate army. Hii
death was one of the most remarkable
on record. He fell in tlie fight and was
taken from the field apparently lifeless.
The ball had ]>enctratcd his heart and
it was supposed that death had come
instantly. At night preparations were
made to bury the dead when the atten
dants were startled bv seeing Stuart
move, lie was still alive. The sur
geon took him in charge but saw at
once that all hopes of recovery were
vain. The ball had really gone into
his heart. In spite of this he lingered
for hours before death finally stilled his
pulse. Tlie case is well attested
will lo rerncml>ert-d that a celebrated
prize lighter lived twodays with a bul
let in his heart, and there is a well-
known instance ol a miner in England
who had a bar of iron three feet long
blown through his head, and recovered.
The other day Mary Stuart was in
Atlanta with the Criterion comedy
company and she went to the cemetery
to try and find her brothers grave. Af
ter wandering a long time among the
thousands of confederate graves there
she was compelled to give over the task
of love. All around her were the
weather-beaten head hoards on which
the only incription was “Unknown.”
Probably her brother rested under one
of these nameless graves, a hero witli-
i monument or even a line to tell
e he sleeps.

Chicago Times.
There were married on Saturday last
:r this city a young lady and a young
entlemau whose acquaintance was of
ery short duration and of a very pecu
liar origin. The young man, who is
' ?<*>d family and excellent reputation,
ng desirous of obtaining a new board-
place, applied one week ago at a
ain house on West Washington
jet, where he was met by the land
lady. Upon making known his wants
as informed that ns it was necessa
ry for him to have a room that night,
the landlady would let him nse her own,
iece, who had been stopping with
her, being out of town. By the follow
ing day another room would be vacant,
aud he might have it. This satisfied
young man, and, being tired, lie
turned in quite early. He had not slept
long when he was awakened by a pecu
liar sensation about bis face, and raising
his baud, his fingers encountered tresses
of female hair. At abont the same
moment he became aware that he had
a bed fellow. For a moment he did
not quite comprehend the situation, but
it suddenly dawned upon him that this
was the niece, who, returning from her
country trip, had unconsciously made
a mistake and got into bed with him,
under the impression that he was her
aunt.. Being a high minded young
man, he immediately slipped out of the
back side of the bed, dressed himself,
and going down into the |iarlor, lay
down upon a sofa, and slept until
morning.
The next morning there were explana
tions all aronnd, the yonug jieoplo wei
introdpeed to each other, and, after
very short and happy courtship, wei
married on last Saturday, as stated.
