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.” Witnesses to above mark J. R. Fowler. Talmae Wilson, Geo. Thevous. Thought War on; Seized U. S .

Can Bring Up but One Body at Time Eccles, W.

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.
