THE “MAGNET” WOULD NOT TELL.
She Went Before the Randolph Grand
Jury, But Refused to Testify.
Annie Abbott, the “little Georgia
magnet”” who has astonished all the na
tions of the world and mystified a Daw
son audience last Wednesday evening,
‘'was a prominent figure in a sensational
‘episode in Cuthbert the day before.
‘ It seems, so report goes, that she and
her husband, who is her manager, had
some words during the afternoon in
their room in the hotel about the fi
nances resulting from her entertain
ments. She accused her husband of dis
posing of them in a wrong way- it is
said on a woman in Atlanta. It is said
further that the husband was somewhat
undes the influence of whisky. Hot
words ensued, and it is said that the
*‘little magnet’’ received twn or three
stinging blows. The ‘little magnet’”’
-was very much enraged and she averred
that she would pever show again under
‘his management after the Cuthbert en
‘gagement, On the stage, however, her
manner was easy and gentle and -no
‘one would have ever thought that they
' had had the fuss in s> short a while be
fore
! ‘The people naturally sympathised
with the little woman, and as the Ran-‘
‘ dolph county grand jury was in session,
‘they had her to go before itthe next
‘morning. She hatfi ‘however, relented
'before then and refused to testfy against
him before that body,
HOMER WILLIS’ CASE.
The Motion for a New Trial Has Been Over
ruled.
The motion pending in the superior
court fora new trial for Homer Willis
has at last been disposed of., The mo
tion was overruled by Judge Bartlett.
Willis' attorney, Messrs. Walters and
Laing, are now preparnng to take itto
the supreme court.
It will hardly be disposed of there in
time for trial at the approaching term of
court should the motion be successful in
the court of lasi resort.
[ Has Located in Dawson.
Dr. O. G. Cranford, swho has been
successfully practicing at Sasser for
some time, has located in Dawson. Dr.
Crazford was highly esteemed at his old

A CUTHBERT TRAGEDY.
A DUEL IN A SALOON RESULTS
FATALLY,
Hickey Was Taken by Surprise, But
Quickly Recovered and Mortally
Wounded His Antagonist.
Mr. Thomas Dunn, weigher for the
Saunders Cotton Co., came over to Daw
son on the cannon ball train Friday
night and brought the news of a shoot
; ing scrape which occurred in Cuthbert
that night in which one man was mor
‘tally wounded and another seriously
hurt.
~ The encounter occurred in C. L. Solo
man’s saloon. The parties were W, E,
Hickey and W. W. Bryant. Brynat and
Robert Lewis were engaged in a game of
billiards. Hickey was among the lookers
on in the game. Bryant was makin
some bad plays which Hickey laugheg
at. Bryant became offended and used
profane and insulting lauguage towards
him, wherenpon Hickey slapped Bryant
to the floor with his hand.
This apparently ended the affair and
Hickey paid no further attention to the
matter. Bryant stepped asid ebehind a
screen and came back in a moment with
his pistol leveled at Hickey.
A negro Yoy standing {y exclaimed:
“Watch out, Mr. Hickey, he’s going to
shoot you.”
Hickey jumped behind the stove,
Bryant firing on him. He fired three
times; one ball took effect and the other
two missed.
By this time Hickey pulled his pistol
and fired five shots in rapid succession
at 3ryant, three taking effect and two
missing.
Bryant fell to the floor. Examination
showed that he was shot through the
left lung, in the mouth and one shoulder.
He was mortally wounded and died Sat
urday night.
Hickey was shot through the left
shoulder and the wound is very painful,
The ball has been probed for by physi
cians but cannot be found. Doctors say
that Hickey is not out of danger, as itis
feared that the ball might have lodge d
near some artery. Otherwise He is safe.
Hickey has a number of relatiyes in
Dawson, and is well known here,
Bryant was engaged in the renting and
real estate business. He was formerly
of Savannah-
Didn’t Draw Much.
Annie Abboti, the Georgia Magnet,
didn’t draw much in Dawson, and ex
hibitea to a very slim audience. The
citizens who were on the m‘ say she
possesses all of the wond and un.
known power claimed for her.
