On last Friday morning at Pearson there came near being a serious riot wjjtli bloodshed. At trouble grew out of a case that was docketed in the mayor’s court against Dr. I. L. Dedge an 1 and Hen ry Corbett for shooting on the streets. Ever since the last municipal elec tion, there has been some animosity toward the administration and certain parties have endeavored to show their disapproval by firing off their guns and pistols under the cover of dark ness, in order to worry the marshall and terrify the citizens. Continued efforts have been made to discover the guilty parties, hut they were so steal thy and well organized that no arrest had been made till hist Thursday ; for when one would attract the marshall fo one part of the town by Ids shoot ing he would dee from the spot and in an instant another would lire away in the opposite direction. About a month ago the town em ployed anew marshal, a Mr. Williams from Baxley. He applied his strat agem and on last Thursday night made the arrests mentioned above. The evidence against the parties was not perfect and Mayor Greer released them. Being incensed at the action of the marshall for arresting them, a pk>t was entered into, to worry the official still more. This was to drive a buggy on the sidewalk and cause him to make anew arrest whereby they would have occasion to make trouble with him. This was done and sure enough the marshall grabbed the horse and demanded the fine for the offense. Dr. Dedge and 0. J. Mead ows who were in the buggy got out and Dedge and the marshall went to gether. Nothing serious resulted from this, however, but a mayor’s court. Meadows and Dedge were brought befor - the mayor Friday and fined sls and $23 respectively for their conduct, They retired to p i.y it and started out of court, when they were ordered stop pi (1. Dr. Julian am] M. M. Knight had be-n deputized to help the mar shall and limy seized Dedge, when a general melee occurcd and pistols were drawn. L. Holtzondorf and his two sons, Sam and Chess, ran in and liberated Delge from the marshall, and far a few minutes a war seemed imminent. Fortunately no pistol was fired and no one seriously hurt, only a few scratches being made. The pa "lies could not be held in cus tody, however, and mayor Greer tele graphed to Waycross and to the Gov ernor for help. After several tele grams to and from these officials it was decided to let the local authori ties deal with the troubl. The mar shall came to Douglas Saturday night after the sheriff and had nineteen warrants issued. The sheriff returned to Douglas Tuesday morning and reported ev erthing in a quite state at Pearson, all parties having paid their fines and promised in future not only to obey tie law but to assist in upholding it. The mat'er was amicably settled and good fueling qovy prevails. Texas paper says that in one of the earliest trials before a colored jury in Texas the twelve g int’cntcq were told by the judge to retire and find the verdict. They went into the jury ro-m whence the opening and shutting ol doors and other sounds of unusual commotion were presently heard. At last the jury carpe hack into court when the foreman announced: ‘Aye hub looked eberywhar, judge, jn dc iDawers and behind de doahs, but it r.in’t ncwliar in dat blessed room." To run an: wspaper a mtn must lia ’e public spirit, a big supply of dis cy< tirn avg; |. amount of j 'pence an abundant quantity of endurance and forbearance, a deaf ear for unjust criticism and complaint, a spirit to be just to enemies as well as to friends, a determination to do well in spite of of all obstacles, and we imagine that some m ney would bp quite helpful, But behind the cloud'-yesbeh'md the clouds-the sun still shines, and clouds always past away—Bartlesville Ga zette.
