Richard and another negro named
Thurman Toy lor wore eating aonre Ice
cream at the little store of Pet Floyd,
on the ‘MUlcdgcvillo road. Just be
yond the city line In East Macon, yes
terday afternoon. The two men were
“cracking Jokes" with each other, and
this wound up In a wordy dispute.
Then It was that Thurman plunged his
knife Into the abdomen of Richard, in
flicting what Is considered by the phy
sicians* at the hospital as a serious
wound. The cut man wns placed in
a wagon und carried to the hospital.
The father of Richard, who is a
drayman of the city, said last night
that ho tried three physicians, asking
them to attend his son, hut that none
of them would respond to the call. He
then put his sou !r. a wagon and
brought him to the west aide of the
river and carried him to the hospital
himself. Ho says he will have a war
rant aworn out for Thurman thlc morn

TO TALK OVER
TRANSFER SHED
CITY AND COMPANY ANXIOUS TO
GET A TRANSFER STATION
BUILT FOR THE EAST MA-
CON PATRONS.
This afternoon at 5 o'clock there Is
to be another meeting of the street
committee and the street railway of-,
flclals to talk over the plans for the
proposed transfer station at the Inter
section of Mulberry and Fourth streets,
and It Is probable that some under
standing will be reached whereby the
work on the structure will b/;gln at
once.
At a previous meeting the plans
drawn by the city engineer were dis
cussed. There was some objection to
those plana on the part of the railway
. company, and It was agreed that the
company should draw such plans as
would best meet their own views, and
they were to have been ready to sub
mit to the street committee last Thurs
day, hut the architect did not havo
them ready. Then the meeting was
set for this afternoon.
The patrons of the street railway
company are destroys that something
ho done In tills mntter. They havo
stood in the hot sun for several months
and In the rain for sevcrdl winters,
hoping every day and every night that
the city and the company would get
together and do something to give
them a sholter. no matter what kind
of a» helter so It kept the sun and rain
off. But there has alwaya been some
delay.
As the plans of the company will be
ready, and the street committee, as
well as the company, want to end tho
matter. It is qulto probable that this
afternoon’s conference will give the
East Macon patrons of the line some
thing to b thankful for and to rejoice
over.
