Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1969 Shoot Out Leaves Man In Hospital \:i argument that began Satur day night between two Negro erupted into a full fledged shoot out about 6:15 Tuesday morning at Lane’s crossing on aria Highway 42 north, with the brisk exchange of gunfire leaving one man hospitalized in County Hospital, Monti ce jlo, and two others slightly wounded by the free flying pel lets. According to Billy Leverette, Butts County Deputy Sheriff, the explosive situation was triggered from ill feelings resulting from an argument Saturday night be tween Eddie Lee Childs of Route 2, Jackson, and Robert Tanner, also of Route 2. Deputy Leverette said that a car occupied by Tanner, Bobby Head, David Lee Watkins, and John Robert Shannon pulled up to park at the intersection of Highway 42 and the Old Bethel Road to enable the occupants, em ployees of the DeKalb County Sanitation Department, to catch the bus that daily transports the employees from Jackson to Deca tur. Already on the scene, ac cording to Deputy Leverette, was Eddie Lee Childs’ car with its oc cupants, Freddie Childs and Wil lie Tyson. Evidence indicates, Mr. Lever ette stated, that as soon as the Tanner car stopped the shooting began with Childs wounded in the left shoulder with a 410 shot gun blast allegedly fired by Tan ner. Childs is in Jasper Memorial Hospital recovering from his wounds. A spectator, John Wilks, was struck by a shotgun pellet in the chest that barely broke the skin, according to Deputy Lever ette. Tanner’s left hip was grazed by a charge from a weapon be lieved to have been a shotgun, not yet located, according to Deputy Leverette. Eddie Lee Childs, Freddie Childs, and Willie Tyson have been charged with aggravated assault, according to Deputy Lev erette. The deputy sheriff said that there is evidence to indicate that Tanner, who usually boarded the bus in Jackson, had driven to the Lane Crossing stop to ride to Decatur in an effort to avoid trouble. PERSONAL Forming a congenial group who will attend the Georgia-South Carolina game in Athens Satur day will be Mr. and Mrs. Dan Blake of Macon, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Schroeder and Mr. and Mrs. Doyle Jones Jr. of Jackson. MEET THE RED DEVILS OhhEhHi TOMMY FLETCHER Tommy Fletcher, Junior Guard and linebacker, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Julian Fletcher. Tommy started at left guard last year and did such an outstanding job blocking that he was chosen as the outstanding blocker. Even though he was good last year, experience has made him a better blocker this year. Last spring when the coaching staff began looking for a line blocker, Tom my was a unanimous choice. He is a hard tackier. Tommy is a small tackle at 155 pounds but with the fortitude, ability and desire make him a well re spected ball player. Tommy is the kind of player that coaches dream of having. He is never a loafer jhe gives more than 100 r 1 at all times. A team full of Tommy Fletchers would be greatly feared. Jenkinsburg MRS. T. H.

Bruce, being a starter since the ninth grade, is a well experienced ball player. His quickness enables him to be a well respected running back. His speed has added the extra punch the Jackson offense has needed to gain large chunks of yardage. The fans who wanted to see Bruce break away last year have been thrilled to see him break for several touchdowns this year. He is equally a threat on defense. At safetyman, he is the last hope to stop the long bomb. There have been few times that the long bomb has been threatened to score. In the class room Bruce is an out standing student and well represents the eharapter on the Jackson High Football team.
