The fir t inquest was upon the

lived nearly opposite Dr. Anthony’s
house, ou Taylor street, and who

Floyd, W. H. F . W. T. Cole, J.
P. Champion, H- X Jones J. W.
Bolton, Chas. Bowden, J. Q. Word,
J. W. Hunton, and Bod]. F- Lawson.
M. J- Patrick was made foreman
of the body. The first witness was
Geo. Dickensou, the colored watch
man. who te tified that about ten
o’clock on S .l iny night Marshall
Manloy hail < red him to go to
West Griffin an i see about tbe re
ported shooting of a woman Abe
Ransom went with him and they
had got as far as Mrs. Wheaton's lot
when a man turned from R. A. Har
dee‘8 corner and as he turned an
other man came from the corLer of
Judge Stewart's lot toward the first
one and fired as he came. When
the shot was fired the first man cried
“Ob, Mr, Frank Ison, you Lave
shot me !•* The shot man, who
was Dock Thrasb. the deceased,
broke to run towards Stewart's gate.
Tbe other kept advancing upon him
and fired the second shot, when
Thrash hollered "Oh Mr. Ison!*'
again At the third shot Thrash
fell and cried for help, Dickenson
ran over to him and as he did so
the other man went on back towards
Mr, Hardee's. Dickenson picked
up Thrash, While Abe Ransom ran
toward the man who did tbe shoot
ing and found Frank Ison standing
at Haidee's corner, who upon Ran¬
som speakiDg to him went qd up to
ward the John Williams place, on
Poplar street. Ransom then
turned back to Dickenson who was
calling him, and together they help
ed the wounded man home. Thrash
bad a shot gun, but the witnesses
testified that it bad no triggers, and
that he did not attempt to fire it
I)r. T. J, Collier testified that the
deceased had a wound on the left
side about midway between the spine
and the sturnum and touching tbe
eighth rib. It #as a gunshot wound
and the ball was traced downward
aud backward, passing between the
ribs and skin, but was iost track of
just below the surface of the 12th
rib. He believed that it turned in
ward and caused death. There was
another flesh wound in the hip.

Frank Ison had been placed un
der bond earlier in the evening for
shooting ou tho streets. He has
not been seen anywhere since the
killing of Tbiasb on Saturday even

were both of bad character, and nei
ther will be greatly missed from the
community, although this can not
be pleaded as excuse for Heir r

The whole is a most deplorable
affair and serves to give Griffin tern
porarily a very unsavory reputation.
An Important Arrest.
The arrest of a suspicious character
upon his general appearance, move
mente or companionship, traveler, without fired wait
ing uutil he has robbed a
a house, or murdered a fellow-man, is
an important function of a shrewd de
tective. Even mo o impoitunt is the ar
rest of a disease which, if not checked,
will blight and destroy a human life.
The frequent cough, loss of appetite,
general languor or debility, pallid skin,
and bodily aches and pains, announce
the approach of primptly pulmonary arrested consnmp and
