Cairo, Ou„ Oct. 16.—A negro em
ployee of tbe Atlantic Coaat Line
was this morning at this place thrown
" from the top of a box car of a freight
train and seriously "If not mortally
wounded. It appears that a negro
hobo was trying to beat the road for
a ride and this flagman In attempting
to put him off lost his balance In
running and fell with terrlflc force
to the ground, breaking both his legs
and cutting an ugly gash half round
his head and over his eye. The
train was the west 'bound through
freight and was running at not less
than thirty miles an hour,
thought that the Injury on' the head,
was sustained by striking against the
Iron rail, o one on the trr.in seem
ed to know of the accident, as there
was no check In the speed, but the
cart went on their course aa If noth,
ing ever happened. The negro's namo
and home are unknown.
Cairo, Oa., Oct. 16.—A personal
combat was engaged In this after
noon between Messrs. Ods Belcher
and C.. F. Saunders, at the store of
the latter In this place. Saunders
. was security on a note due to Bel

demanded payment. In theconten-
tlon between the partial til feeling
I a-rue, resulting In blows We do
notknow whether a settlement was
effected or not. Mr. Bolcher, drum-
jnljy' )® f t on the eastbound train, pur-
* si.nnt to a proviocsly an.n'ed ached
nle and Mr. Saunders, n lewder, was
soon behind the counter following
his ordinary work. No serious In
jury therefore, to either. Both ar
citizens of Cairo and are of the high
est standing.

John Hall, which resulted !■. consider
able excitement, althougu n.< Injury
was done to either par'v. it appears
that Mr. Hall and W. G. Baggett, the
father of Perry Baggett were Indul
ging In some sharp words relative to
reports alleged, to have been put out
by Mr. Hall tending to damage IV.
G. Baggett’s business, that of selling
buggies and wagons, the parties In
dispute being engaged In the same
line of business and competitors. It
Is saldBaggett told Hall, "I do not
care what you say provided you con
fine yourself to the truth.” Where
upon Hall admonished Baggett to
make a self application of his remark
At this ktage the parties wore some
distance apart, Hall being near Perry

1 Ils father’s behalf, -gs-tween these

As a result of a negro festival held
Saturday night at Touraine, Joe Cole
man Is dead, Tobe Bryant Is In jail
here badly wounded and Bud Clarke
who is supposed to have done the kill
In-; Is at large armed with a shotgun
end a pistol.
As Is usually the case with these
frolics there, was pleaty of liquor In
circulation. The frollcers Imbibed
too much and towards Sunday morn
ing thep ebcame rowdy. Clark start
ed In to shoot up the crowd. In this
laudable endeavor he had the aid
of his partner and friend, Bryant.
It >e'ems that almost every negro In
the crowd had at least one pistol
and there weremore than a hundred
shot fired. The result* are stated
above. *
After Coleman's death the affair
broke up. Ofllcers from here went
up to Touraine Sunday and brought
Ej rant back. He Is lying In tbe
county jail with bulleta through both
his knees nnd one of hie feet A
good description of Clark has been
sent through the country and the
ofllcers hope to find him. The evi
dence In the case Is a' little hasy and
It Is hsrd to get at the trad state of
affairs but they will doubtless clear
up by the time the case is ready for
trial.

GA. NORTHERN
MUST FIGHT
Pidcock”Citizens Employ
Attorney to Make Road
Reestablish Station
Boston is happy In the possession,
of her new railroad, the Georgia
Northern and Pldcock, mourning the
loss, refuses to be comforted. The
Citizens of tbe latter place propose
to make things Interesting for the
rosd by means of litigation. Attor
ney J. H. Merrill represents a num
ber of Pldcock citizens' In an Inter
esting and important suit that will
be heard before tbe railroad commls-
clon on the 26th of this month.
The case comes as n sequel to tbe
midnight removal of the Georgia
Northern tracks from Pldcock a few
weeks agoj When It was proposed
to move the terminus of the modi
from Pldcock to Boston the ratter’
town objected lustily and prepared!
to take out an Injunction. Tim foxy
railroaders heard of this and de
feated the move by starting to work
at 10 o'clock one Saturday night
and finishing the tearing up of tho
track by midnight Sunday, during
which time no legal paper could be
served. /
Now Mr. Merrill has brought suit
to make them restore the track and
reopen the station at Pldcock under
thp rule that the abandonment ol
any station must,..be preceded 'by-
permission of the railroad commis
sion. This permission was not ob
tained. In case the station is put',
back temporarily and the noeptsary
permission for abandonment la ob
tained It Is probable that suit will-
be brought through the attorney gen
eral of the' state for the revocation-
of the road's charter. Inasmuch as/
the charter specifies Pldcock or Quit-'
man as terminal points and that new-
there Is a terminus at neither point..
Messrs. W. E. Blackshcar and Will
Atkinson went to Atlanta last night
