Atlanta Journal: There was an encounter
at the union depot Thursday afternoon be
tween Lieut. W. G. Elliott, of the United
States array, of McPherson barracks and
Messrs. Henry and Walter Francis The be
ginning of the difficulty was altogether hu
morous. The lieutenant was walking along
the sidewalk at Bratton s drug store on
Peachtree street, accompanied by a friend.
w*hen some young men on the rear of a street
car returning from the football game called
out "hep hep, hep,” In time with the lieuten
aut s footsteps. He noticed the guy and
said to the young men, "attend to your
own ouslness, you scoundrels."
Mr. Wallace Francis was in the guying
crowd and immediately expressed his deter
mination to have the officer retract the re
mark, as it applied to himself. He knew him
self 10 be much lighter and smaller than the
officer, who is a perfect specimen of man
hood. and called on his brother, Henry
Francis, at I.aw Bros,, told him that he had
been insuited. and requested him to go out in
company with himself in sean h of the officer,
giving the additional reason that Mr. Elliott
was accompanied by friends. Lieut. Elliott
was found waiting for his train. Wallace
Francis approached the officer and asked if
he was the gentleman who made the remark
concerning himself. The officer replied
quickly that he was and Wallace
Francis immediately started to give Ue
lieutenant the best in his power. The crowd
stood back. Although Mr. Francis was doing
his best, he was no match for the athletic
officer, ana was somewhat worsted in the com
bat. At this moment Officer Porter, of the
depot, came up and seized Walter Francis.
The lieutenant, however, was still disen
gaged. and is said to have approached his
antagonist in a hostile manner. It was here
that Henry Francis, still wearing his over
coat. took a hand. Then a scientific and
highly interesting sparring match took place.
J ust before the two men were about to t e
separated someone in the crowd struck Lieut.
Elliott on the head with a cane.
Amer:cus Times-Recorder: Parties in the
city from La Crosse yesterday to id a story of
an outrage committed there a night or two
ago. which for cool audacity eclipsed any
thing of the kind ever heard of here before.
The fact that the gentleman in the case was
unarmed, alone prevented a killing in connec
tion with the affair. Shortly after tea on the
night mentioned. Lucius Dixon, whose pretty
home is near La Crosse, eight miles west of
Americus, was called to his front gate by
someone, and thinking it one of his neigh
bors he quickly went out to greet him.
Imagine his astonishment when he
looked up to see who his caller was to
find the glittering muzzle of a revolver
pointed at his forehead. Before he could re
cover from his astonishment or demand an
explanation the man with the pistol, with a
volley of oaths, informed him that he had
come to stay all night and proposed to do so,
even if it was neeessary to use the revolver
to accomplish that end. Mr. Dixon, than
1 whom no cooler or more courageous man can
be found, informed his would-be guest that he
could not stay, couching his reply in language
most emphatic. While the two were talking
a neighbor of Mr. Dixon's passed by, and un
der the pretext of desiring to speak to him on
business Mr. Dixon walked to the comer of
his yard and quickly slipped into the house.
When he appeared a moment later it was with
a Winchester in his hand and a dangerous
look In his eye. He was greatly in
censed at the conduct of the
stranger and meant to resent his insults then
and there. Mrs. Dixon followed him to the
gate, begging him to do nothing rash. In the
nfbantime the belligerent caller had started
off with the neighbor who had just arrived.
Mr. Dixon ordered the stranger to get off his
premises and never return, and seeing that
he was prenared to emphasize that demand
with the Winchester the fellow hit the grit
and hit it hard. Mr. Dixon has no idea who
the man was, as he had never seen him before
that night. To a gentleman living near by
the fellow represented himself as a United
States officer, and said he was looking
for the Hogg brothers who murdered
Shipley in Marion county about a year ago.

a halt to investigate the matter, two burglars
hounded from the door to the sidewalk and
one of them covered him with a pistol. The
brave officer, who was never known to lose
his head, reached back for his pistol with one
hand and with the other knocked the burg
lar s weapon up lust as it went off. the ball

burning his hand. Both of the crooks

A THRILLING CAPTURE.
How Marshal Ira Campbell Caught
McCoy, the Notorious Desperado.
From the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.
The death of Deputy Marshal Ira Camp
bell, which occurrtd in Royston, Wednes
day, recalls one of the most exciting and
sensational captures known in the reve
nue annals of the northern district.
The capture was made in 1886—Just
eight years ago. when Marshal Campbell,
in a hand-to-hand encounter with McCoy,
tho desperado of Lookout mountain, fin
ally succeeded in slapping the handcuffs
on the criminal and delivering him over
to the law.
For a number of years McCoy had been
a terror to the regions about Ixiokout.
His feats of reckless daring and notorious
temerity caused the people up there to
look upon him with fear and trembling;
but the climax of his criminal record was
tho murder of Deputy Marshal W. D.
Kellet.
McCoy had treasured his hatred
against Kellet for a number of years. He
had sworn revenge against the marshal
for making a raid upon a still with which
he was connected, and he bided his time
In quiet determination In December,
1885, Marshal Kellet left Atlanta for
Lookout to arrest a moonshiner named
Young, little dreaming the fearful fate
awaiting him. While making his way to
the house of Young at a precipitous turn
in the road McCoy stopped out and offered
to ussist in making the arrest. Keller
thought that something was up and rode
on, refusing his aid.
Upon his return down the mountain
with the prisoner in charge, the marshal
stopped at a stream to water his horse.
As he was leaning over to unhitch the
bridle rein, two rifle shots rang out from
the cliff overhead, and at the same time
he fell from his horse fatally shot.
Young, the moonshiner, was suspected
and arrested for the murder. He stoutly
declared his innocence, and
said that he recognized the face of'oMc-
Coy Just as the gun flashed.
Search then was made in every direc
tion for McCoy, but he had fled, and noth
ing was heard of him until February,
when word reached Capt. Nelms, wbo|at
that time was United States marshal,
that he had beeu seen in Cherokee county.
Capt. Nelms at once organized a posse
of his best men. and, commanding it in
person, he started out for Cherokee. The
place was readied at night and the posse
divided, Capt. Nelms heading one squad
and Capt. Chapman, Marshals Colquitt,
Campbell and Bcott composing the other.
Capt. Nelm’s squad went over to the
house where McCoy’s brother lived, while
the other crowd started for the house of
old man Simmons, where McCoy was sup
posed to be in hiding, in some way the
men got scattered. Marshal Campbell
had gone to the rear of the bouse. He
heard a noise at his back and turned
around quickly, cocking his gun at the
same time. Before he could realize it, a
pistol was shoved into bis face and he
recognized bis opponent as McCoy. With
the fearlessness which always character
ized his actions. Marshal Campbell dashed
the pistol to the ground and grappled. In
some way tho pistol went off. shattering
Campbell’s hand. But he held on to
McCoy, and for some minutes there was
waged a furious and desperate fight.
Campbell had succeeded in getting Mc-
Coy on his back and was choking his
tongne out when the rest of the deputies
ran up to the rescue.
In telling of the event yesterday after
noon. Capt. W H Chapman said;
"That was the only time that I ever
saw Campbell mad Naturally he was
always cool,deli berate and self-collected—
especially in dangerous places. But It
seemed as if a demon was in him that
night. He would have choked the des
perado to death, I think, if we had not
came up so soon. Campbell was one of
the to st and bravest officers in the ser
vice and his death is a sad, sad thing.”
