Carrington Meat Market
Damaged By Fire
Jefferson had a fire a little past
twelve o’clock Saturday night, which
would have resulted in a dangerous
conflagration had it not been dis
covered and extinguished before
gaining much headway. The fire
originated in the basement of the
v Carrington market, burning through
the'-iQoor into the main store room,
where either burned or damaged
the entire contents of the building.
The store is ot }C of several located
along that street, some of which
are wooden buildings, and a serious
fire was averted by the timely dis
covery, and the good works of the
fire department. >
The fir e was of undetermined
origin, and we understand there
was no insurance either on the
building, which belonged to Mr. R.
B. Maxwell, or on the supplies of
Mr. D. 0. Carrington.

Georgia Officers Kill Bank
Robber In Pistol Fight
Greenville, Ga.—One hank rob
ber was killed, two others captured
and most of their $1,701 loot from
the Bank of Grantville recovered
here Friday as the trio fought it
out on a roadside with officers after
a brief fight.
Police identified the dead man as
Arthur (Red) Pendergrast, 28, of
LaG range, Ga., while the captives
were booked as R. P. Carver, 40-
year-old LaGrange typewriter sales
man, and Jack Wilkerson, alias
Chick Vinson, 27, of Coweta Coun
ty.
The three entered the Bank of
Grantville early Friday afternoon,
presented a check on a Montgomery,
Ala., bank and, as Cashier Edwin
Brasch examined it, thrust guns to
his ribs. He was bound, gagged
and pushed into the vault.
Cecil McKoy, a customer, who en
tered as the robbers were scooping
up all available cash, was forced in
to the vault with Brash but was not
bound, and the robbers slammed the
door and fled, dropping coins as
they ran to their car.
The scattering silver attracted
the attention of R. L. Bohannon, a
passerby, who investigated and
opened the vault as the combination
was shouted out by Brasch, whom
McKoy had freed. Grantville offic
ers spread the alarm.
As the robbers drove into Green
ville, they were met by Sheriff
Jake Jarreld, of Meriwether County,
and Chief of Police C. H. Collier, of
Greenville, who ordered them to
hault. The reply was a volley of
shots. The officers returned the
fire, killing Pendergrast and punc
turing the tires of the automobile
which careened into a ditch.
Carver and Wilkerson were ar
rested at the roadside and all the
loot but S4O found on their persons
and returned to the bank. They
were placed in jail at Newnan, Ga.,
to await trial. Bank officials and
Carver had visited the bank fre
quently recently to inspect type
writers. Pendergrast formerly was
employed at a cotton mill at Grant
ville.
