OPELIKA’S BATTLE.
Constitution.
Opelika, Ala. December 9—
The battle has been renewed all
along tbe line. Every doctor in
tbe city is engaged in extracting
buckshot from the bodies of the
wounded; and Mr. Maloney lies
dangerously and, it is teared mor
tally wounded. How came it?
Well, 1 will gel it as directly as
can be expected from one who is
under tbe wrath of the lord of “the
little brown jug” and the mayor of
Opelika. It will be remembered
that the big riot several weeks ago
occasioned bv tbe wanton assault
of several policemen upon Mr. J.
D. Roberts, bar-keeper, ot Mr. R.
M. Maloney. In tbe melee Roberts
was pretty well riddled with bird-
shot, but finally escaped under (ire
of Ave double-barreled guns, sent
whizzing after him from Dunbar's
groggery. Ever since both parties
have be’en quietly preparing for
another meeting, and yesterday-
evening the trouble was renewed
with greater ferocity than ever.
UOW IT HAPPENED. '
At about & o'clock, Policeman
Osborne and Mr. R. 11. Love got
into a personal ultcrcation on tho
corners of Tallapoosa and South
Railroad streets. Osbono loll un
der Love, nnd the latter, aided by
tbe presence of bis brother and
Mr. J. D. Roberts, the hero of the
previous difficulty, wronched the
policeman’s baton from him and
bore it Off in triumph. The three
then proceeded up South Railroad
street, and when at the door of
Maloney’s saloon, their attention
was attracted by noises behind
them. Turning, they stood face
to face with Marshal Hart, Police
man Osborne and William Macon,
a clerk in Dunbar’s saloon, who
wore standing in lino in front of
Dunbar’s, armed with shot guns.
A quick volley from the Dunbar
party elicited one as quick from
the 'Roberts’ party, and several
rounds were interchanged. Roberts
and the Love’s were hit in tho face,
but not seriously. The policemen
then took to cover, and for a while
there was a lull in the proceedings.
CASUALTIES ON TIIE STREET.
While this cross-Oring was in
progress, the streets were Ailed
with people, who not expecting the
places of safety. A negro who was
walking off in tho opposito direc
tion received a full charge of buck
shot in the back, and putting his
hand quickly behind him exclaim
ed: “Golly w’ats a.l dis about?”
Mr. Williams, clerk of Wilford k
Cooper, was painfully hurt in the
. face. Mr. J. C. Barnes, who was
b U .m,..,to standing in front of wilford*
Cooper’s was slightly bit in the
forehead, and carried a peck of
shot In bis clothes. Mr. T. .1.
Williamson was bit in the face.
Mr. Toombs Kyle and Ids clerk
Mr. Vaughn were hit. ns was also
Mr. Oliver, clerk forN. L. Wright.
A countryman whoso name I did
not learn, was seriously wounded,

tions.

THE ASSAULT ON MALONEY.
Consequent upon this disturb
ance, excitement run high, and liq
uor was in demand. At about 8
o’clock Will Bond went into Ma
loney’s Railroad street house und
was very boisterous and abusive,
when Maloney found it necessary
to eject him, in doing which Bond
alleges that lie was slapped by Ma
loney. Procuring a pistol Bond
returned to the scene, and, taking
aim at Maloney, without a warning
shot him in the left breast. Malo
ney fell with what was probably a
mortal wound, and was nt once
conveyed to his room where he was
put under medical treatment, and
throughout the night he lay be
tween life and death.
BOND’S AltBEST AND ESCAPE.
W. C. Bond, who is a clerk for
Mr. G. W. Fuller was arrested this
morning by tbe sheriff, and left for
a few minutes in custody of the
sheriff’s Bon, an exceedingly
bright youth. Tbe prieoner got
permission ot his guard to step out
of the back door and see a man,
was in bis left breast, and was pro
nounced by bis physician to be
very dangerous, though not nec
essarily fatal. During the night
there was many inquiries after his
condition, a notable fact being that
every man wbo called, either car
ried a shot gun or an exposed pis
tol. This morning the sufferer was
lying very low and telegrams woro
sent bis friends expressing fears
for tbe worst. In answer to these,
A Story ot Four Boys.
Conitltullon,
The Constitution- has printed
many a story of denial, energy aqd
heroism, but none more deserving
than the story of tbe Green boys,
which may be found in another
column.
These four boys started a few
years ago selling newspapers. They
made ten cents apiece the Arst day

Mr. William M. Scott, of Atlanta, winters thereafter they went bare-
came here at once, and is now with looted through the snow nnd sleet
Maloney. Later in tho evening, in the frcczingjlawu,on their morn-
Maloney's condition was somewhat
more hopeful, but he is iu a very
critical condition.
A TALK WITH MALONEY.
When I was in Opelika some
weeks ago, I met Maloney. He
was running two bar-rooms, one ou
South Railroad street nnd one on
Chambers street. The latter was
formerly owned by Neil Hudman,
brother of cx-Mnyor W. E. Hud-
man, and was run for Maloney by
J. D. Roberts, who has Agurcd so
extensively and somewhat aggres
sively in tho two tragedies that
he run tho exposition bar-room
during tho Cotton Exposition, nnd
he has many friends there, as will
as a sister, Mrs. Thibadcau. Ma
loney’s railroad street bar-room is
only n few doors from Dunbar’s,
so there was a business rivalry be
tween them. Maloney imported a
good many Atlanta customs, and
as a consequence drew off a largo
part of Dunbar’s trade, “the decent
drinkers «f the city,” B9 he said.
Some time ago Maloney applied
to the city council for permission
to lay a crossing, at his own ex
pense, irom his place of business
to tbe depot. Through the an
tagonism of the mayor, os Maloney
alleges, tbe permission was refused.
“During tho Thursday riot on at
tempt was made to assassinate a
number of persons iu my bar-room,”
said Maloney. “Several Bliots were
flred into the back yard; as I
stepped back to seo what wus the
matter a friend of mine came rush
ing in, exclaiming: ‘Mnloney don’t
go out there, or you aro a dead
man.’ I then bolted the door, and
we got our guns 'out, loaded and
primed, and waited for the attack.
I subsequently learned that a lot
ol Dunbar’s men were hiding in
the back yard, and wero ready to
shoot us down as we stepped out.”
“What aro you going to do if this
thing continues?”said I. “Wewill
organize a vigilance committee,”
he said quickly. “I’ve been in
tbe west, und their way of dealing
is the best.” But poor Maloney
let them creep up on him at lost.
THE SITUATION.
The scenes ot last night arc
likely to be repeated ot any mo
ment. It only requires a little
whisky to turn tbe brain, and at
once a city of three thousand in
habitants is at tho mercy of as
merciless a mob as ever pulled a
trigger. The Christmas holidays
will bring into the city crowds
from the country, und scenes
whicli arc disagreeable enough >n
the host regulated cities will, in
Opelika, suggest pandemonium it
self. The citizens, who should be
conservative, arc under th» ban of
the authorities, and without influ-
encc or organization. The mayor,
whose duty it should be to pre'
parents th&t is to Uave a front par
lor and a bay window in it. These
little fellows have been carriers,
newsboys, errand boys about tbe
Constitution office, and one of them
is now assistant mailing clerk.—
Their net saving from their sales
nnd (salaries, exclusive of their
rents have been $20 a week (or
this year. Next year they can do
butter and by the time the oldest
ot the brothers is of age they ought
to have a comfortable little for
tune.
What these boys have done, oth
er boys can do. The whole secret
is steadiness, sobriety, industry
and economy. There are few les
sons more important for boys than
that tbe smallest amount no mat
ter how little it maybe—will mako
a great fortune if it is only saved
and invested, and that tbe smallest
income—no matter how small—
will make a man independent ifbe
will only live inside of it aud com
pound his surplus. It must have
been discouraging to these young
sters when it took them a month
to lay up a single dollar, and it
wus heroic In them when they laid
this dollar up and went barefooted
over frozen ground rathertbnn use
it to buy shoes with. It is now,
when they are comfortably clad
and housed, nnd everybody about
them Is comfortable, and their sav
ings amount to twenty times a
week more than they wore former
ly able to suve in a month. They
have conquered life nlmost before
they have entered it, and if they
will only keep cleanly hearts and
genial souls, and broad, hearty
impulses they will be not only rich
but useful men.
