FRIDAY, MAY 1.
Nick Cooras Shot From
Behind on Broad St.
This Morning
George Gavaios Opened Fire on
Kis Fellow Countryman. Has
Been Placed Under Arrest.
Patient in Critical Condition
at City Hospital.
Ni oil Cooras, of tlie Royal Case, one
or 'th.ibe'st known Greeks in Augusta,
was shot with a pistol four times from
behind by George Gavaios, a coat
maker in the employ of John B. Jones,
the tailor, at 10:15 o'clock this morn
ing on the 900 block of Broad street.
Three shots went completely through
the body. One pierced the abdomen,
producing the most serious wound.
Immediate Arrest.
Gavaios started to walk away with
the smoking revolver in his hand whgii
he was put under arrest by Chief De
tective Whittle, who was standing in
Wats is drug store, across the street,
til the time the shots wer fired. Ar
riving at about the same time o£ De
tective Whittle were Policemen Fos
ter and Duhig, who happened to he
nearly. The prisoner was immediately
taken to the city police barracks and
placed in a cell. Shortly after the
shooting he was seen by a member
of tlie local Greek colony, but, ac
cording to the latter, no coherent
statement could lie secured from the
prisoned who at the time was said to
be very much excited.
Corns was taken to the city hospi
tal right alter lie was wounded mid
at about noon was operated on by
IJrs. Goodrich and Crane. The oper
ation while a most delicate one was
stood successfully, although at a late
hour thi,: afternoon the patient was
in a very critical condition still. Tlie
physicians at the hospital could not
foretell what the results might be. A
part of tlie intestines was so badly
perforated it had to he cut out en
tirely and tlie parts rejoined.
Without Warning.
No one. it seems, knows why Cooras
was shot." Witnesses say that there
were no words and that Gavaios fired
on Cooras from behind without any
warning. The wounds show that the
bullets all entered from the rear. „
The Greek who did the shooting, ac
cording to T. H; hladaressi, the presi
dent of the local Greek colony, is not
friendly with the better class of his
nati\*e people in Augusta and was not
placed on a level with the more re
spec ed element of Greeks.
Information conies from Magistrate
J. T. Bennett that only last Tuesday
he was visited by several Greeks of
the city who wanted a writ of lunacy
sworn out against Gavaios on account
of some previous trouble he is said to
have caused. One of the party, named
Elias Maniates, of 1194 Jones street,
swore out a peace warrant against Ga
vaios, but after considerable confer
ence in the magistrate's office, car
ried on in the Greek tongue, the pros
ecutor ordered the warrant dismissed.
Gavaios is married and has one
child; Cooras is unmarried. Some
time ago the former, not being able
1o get along in peace with his wife,
Jest her and went to Texas. Upon
leaving J- gave some clothes to a
certain fork here. Gavaios later re
turned to Augusta and is said to have
accused someone of stealing his
clothes. He returned to his wife and
hajAbeen living with her since. No
oifl rias been able to say whether this
has any bearing on the recent trouble.
Statement of Cooras.
A statement was made by Cooras
after lie was taken to the hospital, as
follows:
“I never saw Geo. Gavaios at all
and did iyi t know that lie was behind
me when he shot ine in the back in
front of Tarver's hardware store. Tlie
night that George left his wife. George
talked to me about five minutes in
a friendly way and told me that he
was going away. I have never had
any personal dealings with his wife at
all and don’t know why he shot me.
I was on my way to business when he
shot me from behind.”
(Signed.) "NICK COORAS.”

Can Bring Up but
One Body at Time
Eccles, W. Va.—Federal rescue crews
entered mine Number 5 today to clear
away the litter in the galleries and aid
in the recovery of the bodies of 172
inintvs killed, by the explosion last
Tuesday. As soon hr they descended
the work of hoisting bodies to the stir
face began. Twenty were at the bottom
of tlie shaft, but it was expected night
would come before they could be brought
up, as the cage can only carry one body
cj a time and tlie round trip is almost
a fifth of a mile.
HOW WORK'SAVES ;
SAYS WILL COMFORT
Wilt Lexington Comfort, the maga
zine writer, tells what work did for
him. In a recent Issue of the Crafts
man. he say*:
I would have been dead long
since, and detestable In every de
tail before the passing, but for
the blessedness of work. I have
emerged from hideous dissipation
—shaking, puerile, as ripe seem
ingly for the merciful bullet as
the Insect tortured beast loose In
the field to die. Again and again
have I been so, yet, by (Joel's good
plan I have found myself once
more here, at the machine, as now.
I have felt my own body resume
life, Its wastes and poisons relax
ing their death old, answering the
movements which mean life. I
have sensed the devils leaving my
brain and prevehted their return
—through this godly guardian,
work. Every utterance worth the
making from this instrument hatt
'done more for me than It could
possibly do for another. I love
my work. As servant of It 1 am
hire, on my way, and all Is well.
