CITY MARSHAL FLOYD ASSAULT
ED COL. ciJttt.
Floyd Bound Over to Superior Court
Charged With Assault With
Intent to Murder,
Last Saturday afternoon the
people of Abbeville were startled by
the report that City Marshal J T
Floyd had beat Col. Eldridge Cutts
to death with a policemans club,
The report of the clubbing was true
but fortunately it was not fatal..
The trouble grew out ot a ease
tried in justice McLane’s court Satur
day morning in which the marshal
was defendant. A liegro from
Dodge county, represented by Col.
Cutts, had sworn out a possessory
warrant for Marshal Floyd and some
money which the negro claimed had
been wrongfully taken from him by
marshal. Justice MeLane decided
j„ f, lV0 r of the negro,
Floyd was angered by the argu.
men t 0 f Cutts at the trial and when
he saw him passing the Laseter bar on
the court house square Floyd accosted
Cutts and said something about the
trial and called Cutts a --— -
— - and struck him
over the right eye with his club.
Cutts fell and as he attempted to
nse Floyd struck him again over the
head and limbs. Some young men
standin ......... fi S S S l iTto dluJifiaigt
..
and he stopped beating on Cutts who
was down,
Col. Cutts was led over to Iris office,
near by the blood pouring in a stream
th e wound over his eye, a deep
gash having "been cut by the club an
inch and a half or two inches long
Dr. Crawford was hastily summoned
and with the assistance of Dr. Goo«e,
attended to and dressed the wounds.
Floyd was arrested and placed in
tbe city prison, and late in the after
noon when the excitement had abated
was carried before Justice Maness
f° r a hearing. He waived eommit
nient trial and was bound over in
the sum of One Thousand Dollars to
an swer to the charge of assault with
intent to murder at the September
term 0 f Wilcox Superior Court.
Mr. Floyd lias been suspended as
Marshal and Mr. Tom Sawyer ap
pointed to serve until next Monday
night. No case lias been made
against Mr. Floyd for violating any
of the town ordinances.

Row at Barbecue.
A large crowd of several hundred
people gathered at the Bluff Creek
Bridge in Pulaski county, on the
Abbeville and Hnwkinsvilfe public
toad last Saturday to attend a bar
becue. Many of the good people of
Pulaski and Wilcox counties carried
their wives and children thinking to
spend the day pleasantly, hut they
were disappointed aud rudely shock
ed.
Young men from this county and
Pulaski became embroiled in a diffi
culty and one of the Pulaski young
men was badly cut. Drunkenness
and profanity were so common that
some of the good people could not
stand it and* took their families home
before the barbecue was served.
It is to be hoped that the next
Grand Jury of Pulaski county will
thoroughly probe the affair to the
bottom and indict all the guilty par
ties. If whlwcey was sold there a
true bill should be returned against
the sellers and those who indulged
in profanity should be punished as
well as those who disturbed the gath
ering by fighting, Let the court
make an example of them so that a
man may in the future take his fam
ily to such d gathering without fear
that they will be shocked hyjthe
