TOWN MARSHAL AND HIS DEPUTY
Kit.I.ED BY NEGKOEB.
Atlanta special to tho Augusta
Gasctte of tho 27th inst. : A
Bloody riot took place at Decatur
about 5 o’clock this afternoon be
tween the whites mid blacks, in which
two men lost their lives mid one re
ceived a dangeri us mid perhaps fatal
wound. The story is n simple one.—
The negroes of DeKalb county held a
Sunday school celebration at Decatur
I to-day By permission of the whites,
the colored folks, to the number of
| several thousand, mot at the taber
nacle, a large structure in the eastern
part of tho town. While the services
1 were in progress this afternoon a
drunken negro named George Hub
bard, appeared at tho tabernacle with
a pistol in his hand, which ho flour
ished in a threatening manner in the
| faces of tho people. The colored
nimmgeis sent for the town marshal,
Mr. Tobe Hurst, and asked that tho
! negro be arrested. Mr. Hurst depu
j tized Mr. Tom Shivers, ex marshal of
Decatur, to assist in arresting Hub
bard, because a largo number of
j boistroUH, drunken negroes were on
i the streets and he feared trouble,
i The officers went to tho tabernacle,
| and after a struggle, in which Hub
i bard tried to use both his knife and
pistol on them, succeeded di-arming
. him and started for tho calaboose
i with their prisoner. On tho way a
■ largo crowd of negro men swept
down upon the officers and rescued
Hubbard, carrying him off with
shouts of victory. Marshal Hurst,
then got a warrant for Hubbard, and
accompanied by Mr. Shivers, sheriff
Henry Austin mid bailiff Rogers,
stalled out to (ho ball ground where
they learned Hibbard had gone to
i re-arrest him. They overlook a crowd
i of negroes on tho railroad and seeing
Hubbard among them started for
! him. A number of negroes jerked
' out their pistols and began firing
upon the officers, who nt once return
i <><l tho fire. All at once a negro,
; whose name is not known, ran be
hind Marshal Hurst ami shot him in
( tho left side, killing him almost in
stantly. About tho same time Mr.
i Tom Shivers was shot through the
breast and fell dangerously wounded.
The negro who had killed Hurst and
I then turned his attention so Sheriff
Austin mid a duel ensued, the negro
standing his ground mid firing three
shots in quick succession, all of
which missed him though he was only
a few paces distant. The brave
sheriff fired six shots at the negro,
who then took to his heels and was
afterwards found dead in the woods.
In the melee Hubbard and the other
negroes ran off and were soon lost to
view. As soon as Sheriff Austin
could give attention to the dead mid
wounded he organized a simdl posse
and came to Atlanta, having heard
that Hubbard, who lives in Hoopers
town, a negro suburb of this place,
i ha<l come up on 5:3(1 train. The
town was scoured for Hubbard, and
had he been caught ho would have
died on the spot. The police were
notified to keep a sharp lookout for
him and the sheriff returned to Deca
tur.
