A SHOOTING AFFRAY,
MR. FRED FOREMAN FATALLY SHOT
By the Marshal of Parrott While Resist~
ing Arrest--Still Alive.
A serious shooting affray occurred at
Parrott Monday night.
Mr. Fred Foreman is seriously shot in
the abdomen, and Mr. W, R. Pritchard,
marshal of Parrott, is under arrest for
doing the shooting.
There are conflicting stories about the
particulars of the occurrence, and it is
impossible to get the true facts before
going to press.
It seems, however, from report, that
Foreman was intoxicated, and decidedly
boisterous. Marshal Pritchard attempt
ed to arrest him, Foreman resisted, and
they became engaged in a tussle, During
the struggle both had hold of the officer’s
pistol, the weapon was discharged and
Foreman was wounded in the abdomen,
The ball entered his stomach and.
passed entirely through him. |
Sheriff Christie went to Parrott Tues
day morning and arrested Pritchard, who
had a preliminary hearing before Justice
Anthony. He was placed under a $3OO
bond for assault with intent to murder.
- The bond was promptly given.
DEAD,
Sheriff Christie received a telegram
from Parrott at half past two yesterday
afternoon announcing that Mr. Foreman
was dead. ‘
Sheriff Christie re-arrested Pritchard
on the charge of murder.
Ap inquest will be held this morning,.
| A CIGAR FACTORY
Is What a Macon Gentleman Wants to Es
| . tablish in Dawson.
- Dawson can secure another enterprise
‘now, if she will show her usual enter
prise and liberality.
THE NEws has raceived a letter from a
Macon gentleman who wants to form a
stock company and establish a cigar fac
tory here. :
i Such an enterprise could be started with
a small outlay of capital, and would be
} a valuable addition to Dawson's list of
industries.
~_Below is anextract from the gentle
tleman’s letter:
~ “I am a cigar manufacturer, and I
think that afactory of that kind would
make some progress in Dawson. Now,
what I want to know is this: de you
think that there is a chance of forming a
stock company to start a cigar factory in
Dawson? It will not require a great
deal of money. $2,000 will start a good
factory and will pay well. If you think
that such a company can be formed I
will come down and bring all necessary
references that may be required. I as
sure you thatl mean business. lam
satisfied that such an industry would be
a benefit and a¢ the same time a pride to
' Dawson.”
THE NEws has written the gentleman
to come to Dawson and look over the
field for himself,
We think that the cigar dealers of the
city would fiud such an investment prof
itable, and should the Macon gentleman
visit Dawson we trust that they will give
him every encouragement possible.
Dawson needs every industrial enter
prise that she can get. 2

The Primary Yesterday.
The Congressional primary yeésterday
resulted in a victory for Hon. O. B. Ste
vens.
Mr. Stevens received an almost solid
alliance vote. I
At the Dawson precinct the candidates
ran pretty even until 12 o’clock. Mr.
Stevens then took the lead and kept it
until the polls closed.
The vote here was 246 for Stevens and
202 for Guerry.
Mr. Stevens’ majority in the county is
about 241,
The above figures are not officiil, but
will prove very nearly accurate when the
vote is censolidated today.
Sasser—Stevens 39, Guerry 24.
12th—Stevens 85, Guerry 25.
Parrott—Stevens 66, Guerry 20.
Dover—Stevens 49, Guerry 18.
- 11th—Stevens 49, Guerry 4. .
Reports from Bronwood give Stevens
25 majority at that precinet,
No report was received from the new
Eleventh, but it is conceded to Guerry.
There is only a small vote in that dis
trict. :

UNSPEAKABLE JOY
When the Son Was Restored to His Motha
er’s Arms from a Prison’s Cell.
Last week THE Nrews noted the ac
quittal of John Whidden on the charge of
murder at Fort Gaines,
When the verdict was announced
Whidden was gathered by hundreds of
friends and literrally borne on their
shoulders to his aged mother's arms,
who, at the residence of Mr. J. R. Simp
son, anxiously awaited the fate of her
cherished boy. When they met the
scene beggared description, and their
joy was too sacred for words.
The Fort Gaines Herald says Osborn
is still in jail, but a new trial will be ask
ed for, which will no doubt be granted,
and it is decidedly probable that his case
will be nol prossed.

Mr. R. W. Terrell contemplates adding
to his variety works a set of gins and
steam press in the near future, which
will add considerably to the interest of

NEW TRIAL FOR WILLIS.
THE SLAYER OF YOUNG OUTLAW GIV
EN ANOTHER CHANCE
For Liberty by the Supreme Court--The
Prisoner Cheerful, and Hopes for an
Acquittal.
Homer Willis, the young Texas lad
who shot and killed George OQutlaw at
the home of Mr. G. Willis a year ago,
has been given a new trial by the Su
preme Court,
g The decision was handed down Thurs
ay.
The particulars of the tragedy and the
trial and sentence of young Willis to the
penitentiary for twenty years are famil
iar to the readers of THE NEws, as all
the details of the horrible shooting of
young Outlaw, while seated at his un
cle’s supper table, were printed at the
time.
The prisoner seemed highly pleased |
when told of the action of the Supreme l
Court, and expressed a hope and belief
that his next trial would greatly lessen
his punishment,
} When Willls was first tried and sen
tenced to the penitentiary it was the gen
eral opinion that he had been extremely
fortunate, and many now believe that
his next trial will resuit more seriously
for him,
