Upon being told by his wife that she did not know where ljis pistol was he is said to have demanded in a gruff voice: “Well, what are you going to do about it?’ With that he whipped out a revolver and fired first at Mrs. Mary McAllis ter, killing her with bullet through the heart. He then fired upon his wife, Mrs. Sallie McAllister, Killing her, and went into the next room and fired a bhllet into his own body.

This pro- istering i m l se I s backed up by the fact a larg- j er number of students have been given admission to the Institution. A remarkable display of presence of mind was that of Miss Fannie Sue Stone, of this City, who, by rendering first aid to little Sam Pate, last Wed nesday morning, saved that youngsters life. Sam was enroute to hlr> home with two bottles of Coca-Cola ln hand, swinging them by his side, when one of the bottles bursted and severely cut his leg and severing an artery. Upon hearing the screams of the child, who at the time was near her home, Mica Stone rushed to the aid of the little fellow. Her remarkable presence of mind and Killing Occurred Saturday Af- etrnoon on Street. % COLUMBUS, Ga., Sept. 10.-- J. O.

Ac cessory before thu fact ln connection with the killing is the charge against Owens, according to the statement mude by Recorder Walker R. Flour* noy who last night Issued the warrant. Sherly Beard stated he would nob. serve the warrant until today ,a:4 Owens has gone home ill. Private Willis Duke, Co. C., Twenty* ninth Infantry was struck just above his left knee by a stray bullet. Just how the accident occurred was never quite determined, but a large number of persons on the scene were of the opinion that when Clements was lifted up following the shooting his gun fell to the ground and exploded. Others were of the opinion that It was fired while Clements was lying on the floor. ' The soldier, who has been on spe cial duty at the depot, w«s taken to ’ physicians office ln the Murrah build ing and later to the hospital at Fort Banning. The wound, while painful is not serious. The shooting occurred in front of the store of the White company and •i the lobby of the Bonita theatre. There wore several eye witnesses to tho affair, and some of them gave statements to the Enquirer-Sun to the effect that Clements, who was a mem ber of the county police force several years ago, Was shot by Chief Huling. Others state that both the chief and his son fired at the bailiff. Seven Bullets Took Effect An attending physician last night stated that seven bullets took effect In Clement’s body. One struck the right wrist, one hit the muscle In the left arm, according to the physician, who stated that two bullets entered the ab domen, one In the center and one to the left, high up. There were two wounds of entrance or exit on the left side, he Stated.Tho doctor Htated that trere was one wound in the left back and one ln thu right 1>ack, which appeared to bo wounds of entrance. There Was J. slight injury on the left scalp above the ear, .caused by a bullet. The nose was skinned .but the Injury did not ap pear to have been caused by a bullet it wvis stated. It Is asserted both by friends of thq defendants and the deceased, that tho shooting was the 'desuit of a raid staged by the county police force on Clement’s home in East Highlands several weeks ago. Clements, at the tlnie was under a |1Q0 bond for his appearance ln the city court charged with violation of the prohibition law a» a result of the raid. The officers went to the Clements home, armed with . search warrants, but were forced to wait for several hours before they were granted en trance.
