The stoim moved in a path threo to four milos wide, destroying every species of vegetation In its path. Luxuriant Helds of corn, six foot high, were rut oluge to the ground. Timothy and oats were mowed down as though a har vests bad passed through them and scores of fanueia are raking up tlirs© crops which have never felt tho touch of tho alcklo.

Assists: t Town Marshal: William Faekstt His Slayer -Strickland Threatens and Shoots, aad Pack, ttt Defends Himself-Tobe Jackson’s ■aad Appear a-The Details, ate. Caktesrvillk, Gn., July 18.—[Special.]— This morning at 10 o’clock, while attempting to shoot William Puckett, Bryant Strickland was himself shot and almost instantly killed. Strickland was a young man about thirty yean old. He formerly lived at Borne, where, abotHXpur years ago, bo struck M^jor Sam McriHi a prominent cotton merchant, on tbe hcad^lUh a piece of scantling, causing him to become insane. Bnbsaqnently, Strickland spent most of his time herq with his fotber and brothers. He waa unmarftiC Puckett is also about thirty years old. Ho is the night marsbaPof tho town. He is mar* ried and baa two children. The account of tbe killing given by tho spectators, and that given by the participants in it, differ. Concerning the circnmatancea leading up to it, however, ALL ARK AGREED, . Last night Strickland was drinking Ho was not drunk, but be was sufficiently under the influence of Honor to bo quarrelsome. Whilo in this condition, be went to tho sleeping* loom of Coionel A. S. Johnson, who is a well* known lawyer, and attempted to force an on* trance. Colonel Johnson Informed Strickland that ho was bathing and that ho did not want him in tho room. Strickland refused to leave. Finding that he could not gain entrance in any other way, ha kicked tho door opeo, and, approaching Colonel Johnson, began playfully to slap him. Colonel Johnson insisted op on fitiicklsnd's leaving tbe room. He refused, and need language which anxflfod Colonel Johnson. Tha result waa a difficulty which brought Purkett to tbe scene. He told Strick land that he must keep tho peace and loavo the room. Strickland refused to obey, and, in forcing him out, Puckett found it necessary TO Vl>M BIH CLUB. When Puckett and Strickland got ont upon tho street, the latter apparently regretted his conduct and begged not to be taken to the guard honse. Puck ett agreed not to take him there if he would promise to go home. "All right,’’ said Strickland, "I will go if you will go with mg.’’ "J will go part of tbe way," Puckett replied, and tho two men walked off, apparently at peace with each other. When they separated, Strickland sought frit nds and told them that ho intended to kill Putki-tt on sight. Puckett beard of the threat, but claims that it gave him but little concern, as be thought Strickland would change bis mind when he became sober. Early this morn ing Strickland appeared on the streets still under tbo iufluei.ee of liquoi. He repeatedly announced that he was LOOKING FOR PUCKETT, and that he intended to kill him on sight Among those to whom he made thin threat were Messrs. Ben Akermau aud Jim Fields. While talking with them in front of tbe bank block, a row of brick buildings faring tho do- r ot, he drew from his pocket a pair of brass nurks, and said: "I'll parah ze him with these, and, if they don’t do tho business, I huvo a :w calibre pis tol that will." At fl:30 o’clock Strickland heard that Puck ett was over mnr the county courthouse, which is on tho tight side of the railroad go ing north, snd almost opposite the bank block. Ho sailed a small negro boy to him snd »ald: "Go over and tell Bill Puckett to come over here; I want to kill k!m." The hoy delivered tho message and retnrnad to Strickland. t Puckett had been informed that Strloklahd BAD AGAIN THREATENED HIM, and had consulted with hia brother, Jim Puckett, and his cousin, Tobo Jack- ion, tho alleged dynamiter. Both these men were present whon the boy delivered Strickland’s me>sago, and both were armed with pistols. Puckett said to them: "Before taking any notice of Strickland’s message, I'm going to consult Aldorman Hudgins." Bulling the action to tho word, ho sought Mr. A. K. Hudgins, a member of tho board uf sidei men, Inform* d him of Strickland's threats and measgge, and asked his odvico. "Coma along with me," Mr. Hudgins said, "We’ll go and see Strickland. I think 1 can settle thia matter without trouble." Previous to cresting the railroad to tho bank block, Puckett deputized his brother, and Mr. Hudgins deputized Tobo Jackaon to assist in quelling trouble, should any arise. In the meantime, Strickland, aud Messrs. Afceimsn and Fields, and Mr. fiobort Kirk patrick, who had joined them, STAETED DOWN THE PAVEMENT in a direction opposite that from which Mr. Uudgios, the two Pucketts, and Tobo Jack- son were approaching. Tbe negro boy, see ing Mr. Hudgins and Puckett walking toward tbo postoffice, which is at tho upper end of the bank block, zhoutsdto Strickland: "Hera come* Mr. Puckett, now!" Strickland wheeled around, drew his pistol, and, leaving his companions, walked up to tbe Planters and Merchants' bauk, which is near tbe center of tbe block. Stopping near a small sycamore tree, about fifty feet from Puckett, no shouted to him: "Step « I've got you now!" lie then fired two shots in rapid succession, causing tho crowd about tho postoflico to seek safety in flight in much lesj time than it takes to tell it. Puckett drew his pistol, after Strickland’s first two shots, and return ed the fire, at the same time walking toward hit antagonist. Jim Puckett and Tobo Jackson, who had stopped near tho depot, WALKED TOWARD STRICKLAND. The shooting continued until the two Puck etts and Tobo Jackson were right upon Strick land. Then it suddenly ceased, aud Btrick- laud, who had gotten behind the sycatuoiu tree, daggered back and sank down upon tho fuvrmtut, uttering the singlo exclamation, r 'i>b!" Thoso that had sought safety iu flight hastily collected about him when the shoot ing teased, and some of them took him up and cat ried him iuto a restaurant kept by Pomp Johnson, colored. Strickland died within ten minutes. The two Pucketts and Tobe Jackson were uninjured. Mr. W. H. Howard, who was standing in tho doorway of tho bauk, re ceived a slight wouud in the right thigh, pre sumably from Puckett’s pistol. When Strickland fell, both he and Puckett bad emptied their pistols. The latter throw out the shells and reloaded one barrel. 8omo- body exclaimed: "Don't shoot any more?" Iiirkett explained afterwards that he reloado*l because OB FRA RED AN ATTACK from Strickland's two brothers, both of whom wi re at the post office whan tha shooting be gan. Deputy SheriffT.O. Roberts arrested Puck ett, who offered no reeistauee, aud lodged him in jail. Very soon after. Jim Puckett aud Tube Jackson surrendered themselves, and were also lodged in Jail. Thair pistols had myctrricusly disappeared. When Strickland’s father waa informed of the shooting, he started to the scene; but, on the way, he became faint, and was carried berk home in a carriage. Strickland’s two hretbm had hia body removed to thair fath er's house, whore a terrible scene of grief was enacted. Tbo sheeting caused groat excitement throughout the town, and seriously interfered with the services at the churches. There are several things connected with this unfortunate tragedy that causo it to bo of unusual inter**t. Primarily, TORE JACKSON’S HAND appears in it. It is unnecessary to till Tag C’oKrrmrnoN's readers who Tobe Jacksoif is. Tfcero are some here who declare thvt when Strickland fired h!s first two shots at Packets, both Jim Packet and Tobo Jackson fired upon tha former. Exclusive of the five shots Cud by Stuck Usd, all of which are aeoooat- ed for, nine ballet holes In trees and buildings remain to be accounted for. It it claimed by some of tbe spectators that Packets fired five shots and Jim Puckett and TobeJaikson four. One man declares that it waa a ballet from Tobe Jackson’s pistol that killed Strick land. Public sentiment justifies Pucket, bat it does not justify Jim Puckett and Tobe Jackson. It is openly avowed that evidence will be forthcoming before tbe coroner's jury that will cause both of the Utter serious trouble. ANOTHER INTERESTING FEATURE of the tragedy is, that several of the spectators dcclaac that when tho shooting was in progress Mr. Hudgins repeatedly said to Puckett: "Kill the scoundrel, kid him J" Still another Is tbat whisky was at the bot tom ol the tragedy. Bartow is a prohibition county, ond yet Strickland obtained whisky snd drank it. Some of tho prohibitionist* declare tbat the fact inclines them to favor a general iron clad prohibition law for tho entire state, so that whisky cannot be brought from a "wet” county into one that i« "dry." There is no doubt bat tbat the trag edy has given whisky in this county a blacker ists and snti*prehibitionists opinion—that is, this always excepting Tobe Jack* The Constitution's reporter called at the jsil this afternoon, and through tho courtesy of Sheriff W. W. Roberts, interviewed TUK PUCKETTS AND TOBE JACKSON. William Puckett expressed great regret on account ef bia share in the killing. "1 did it in selfdefense," be said,"but I wish tbat it had not been necessary. I fired five shots. It wss the last one tbat killed Strick land. I aaw it do Ita work." The reporter asked Jim Puckett if he had a pistol when he started with bia brother to meet Strickland, "Yes,” he replied, "I bad a pistol." "Did yon fire at Strickland?" "No, I did not." When tbe reporter spoke to Tobe Jackson, he said: "If you represent The Constitution, I don’t want to talk. Yon fellows owe me a bat for the material I have already famished you " "Well, but how about your share in the kill ing—did you have a pistol?" "Yes." "Did you use Ilf "No.” "But it is said by seme that you did." "I can’t help what they say; I didn’t do any uch thing." THE CORONER’S JURY was orgaalzed late thia afternoon at the court home, and then proceeded to the house of Stiicklaud’s father. A post mortem examina tion of the body was made, disclosing the fact that the fatal bullet entered the left side, from tbe front, and pasted through tho heart. Without further action, tho jury thon adjourn ed until next Friday. This was done to al low both side* to prepare for the inquest. Struk laud ’s remains will be tsken to Law- unci vjJJo to morrow, for interment. They will have here at 12:30 o'clock, p. m. It is iibt }ct known whether or not the two Pockettsaud Tobe Jackson will seek t » bo re- Ichm<i from jail on bond, bnt it ia presumed that they will not unless the coroner’s jury finds a verdict against them. In tbe mean time they are cheerful, and are confident that the jury will order their release. A. I. JJ. LOVB, JEALOUSY AND MURDER. A Tragedy of the Passions Knacted In Nash ville. Nashville, Tenn., July 18.—[8pecUl.]— Northeast Nashville wss thrown into a state of wild excitement late tonight by a shooting scrape, in which five persons wero injured, two of them seriously. The caso is nxnt sensational. Two years and a half ago, P. U. Monohan came here, and being au expert cotton miller, easily gained employ ment in thoTennes8eo cotton factory. Here ho met Laura Caruey, a poor but respecfoblo an d honest girl, employed aa a weaver. Ha at once fell in love with her, and courted her, hot was so Jealous that he frightenod lur. He became disheartened in his suit and left the city, going to Chicago, where he work ed awhile, going thence to Augusta, Ov. and finally drifting back to Nashville. He begin courting Hire Catney again, aud fora ti ne they were engaged, but ho spied upon hor J cvi ry movement, and ennoyed her so much by bis Jealousy that sho broke the enga^v ment. Ho threatened to kill her unless a'.io married him, and last Sunday night fired t vo shots at her front gate to alarm her. Miss Carney lived alono with her mother and a small brother, so that there whs no one to whom sho felt like appealing. The manager of the cotton factory heard of it, however, and threatened to discharge Monohan unless the eisecutlon ceased. Monohan repliod that If e could not get her by tho minister he would by the revolver. Tonight Mire Carney and some of the neigh bors were sitting in Mus Carney’s parlors aftor coming from church, singing a religious song. In tbe midst of "Nearer my God to Thee," Monahan entered the room, pistol in hand, and without a word shot Miss Carney in the Leal. He then shot at John Rice, the ball striking him in the abdomen, but being turned by a button so ao to prevent a fatal wound. He shot .Mrs. Carney through the arm, and John Clapp, who attempted to disarm him, received a ballet through the hand. Stepping into the hall he then shot himself in the head. His own wounds snd those of Miss Carney are perhaps fatal. The affair caused the greatest excitement, and there were determined threats of lynching, which was only prevent .... .. * * “ •* whe possible, itlag l • by opposi Ten drops of ANGOSTURA BITTERS im part a delicious flavor to all cold drinks and pre vent all Sommer Diseases.
