JUNE 28,1877 WEEKLY HERALD
SERIOUS
AFFAIR
A
serious affray occurred Monday evening last at the depot between LOUIS GUTHMAN, of Atlanta, and ALEX MAPLES,
of this place, which resulted almost
fatally to the former. It seems there was some misunderstanding heretofore between the parties, and on Monday evening Maples asked GUTHMAN for an explanation. GUTHMAN replied that he wanted nothing to more to do with it, when MAPLES started at him with a club drawn, GUTHMAN drew a pistol and
MAPLES
stopped.
They then talked the matter over, made friends and shook hands. GUTHMAN then started off and was called back by MAPLES. He started off the second and third times and was called back, and as he started away a third time MAPLES hit
him with a stick or club and knocked
him down; MAPLES then took the pistol from GUTHMAN and hit him six times in the head with it, leaving him insensible. These are the facts as near as we can get them from the general rumor. GUTHMAN was brought to the Oocee House and properly cared for by his friends. Mr. GUTHMAN is a Jew and for a long time before the war was a citizen of Cleveland. Since the war he has been in the auction business, traveling mostly East Tennessee.
He is about 60 years of age and
has always bore the reputation of
a quiet, inoffensive man. MAPLES is 23 years old and is a shoemaker in this place. JEFF MONTGOMERY, who is also a young man, was charged with being accessory, and both were brought before Mayor TIPTON for trial. The defendants made affidavit that owing to the excitement and prejudice against them they didn’t think they could get justice at present and the trial was postponed till one week from next Saturday. At this
writing GUTHMAN is doing as well
as could be expected. It is thought he
will recover.
DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN
Col.
JOHN ELLIOTT died at his home two miles east of Cleveland on Saturday morning last at the age of 70 years. Col Elliott was the oldest citizen of the county. He served as captain during the Florida war. He
was at one time Colonel of the 10th Tennessee Federal Cavalry during the late rebellion. Since the
war he has been farming, and also
acting as claim agent a great deal of
his time. He had been sick but a few days when his death came to his relief. His remains were buried at Ocoee Shed, in Polk county last Sunday.
SHOOTING
AFFRAY AT DUCKTOWN
A
correspondent at Ducktown writes us that a shooting affray occurred at Ducktown last week between EBIN ELLIS and MARTIN THOMAS, which resulted , it is thought, in ELLIS being fatally shot. THOMAS had a trial before a justice of the peace and was released. Our correspondent thinks hard of the action of the justice, and thinks THOMAS was at fault and should receive the penalty of the law. THOMAS is a single man, and ELLIS a man of family.

JULY 5,1877 WEEKLY HERALD
STATE
vs. MAPLES and MONTGOMERY
The
above case for assault and battery on the person of LOUIS GUTHMAN, will be tried before Mayor on Saturday. One point to be decided is, whether the corporation under its special charter has any rights or not. That charter gives the Mayor
the same power and privileges as
Justice of the Peace. The above named persons were brought before him and gave bond for their appearance on July 7th. They were afterwards arrested on a justice's warrant and bound over to court. The law says no man shall be put in jeopardy for the same offense twice, and now the point is, whether the Mayor's decision or the Justice's will be the legal one - the Mayors action having been taken first.

comes to us of one of the most uncalled for outrages we have heard of in Bradley county for a long time; On Saturday last three young men who live on the west side of the county, by the names of BARGER, HICKMAN, and TAYLOR, came to town got drunk, and on their way home stopped at the house of a respectable old lady by the name of FINDLEY, drew a knife on her young son, and knocked her down with a chair -- knocking out three or four front teeth. It is hoped that the offending parties will be punished to the extant of the law. Mrs. FINDLEY is a quiet, inoffensive old lady, and was trying to

CARRING
PISTOLS
By
referring to the cases tried by the present term of the
Circuit
Court it will be seen that ten pistol cases have already been disposed of in what might be called a light manner. This thing of young men going over the country and through civilized communities with cannons in their pockets has become
a nuisance and it is time the court
was calling a halt. Let court announce that in the future a fine of $50 will be imposed on every one guilty of such conduct regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and we'll venture to say the thing
will
be stopped.
A
LADY ACCIDENTLY SHOT.
Mrs.
S B BOYD met with quite a serious accident last Saturday evening about dark, by receiving a flesh wound from a pistol. The occurrence is we get it is about as follows: A negro boy who had been staying around Col. BOYD's had left a loaded pistol lying on the table and covered it with a table cloth.
Mrs. BOYD went to remove the cloth
and the pistol fell upon the floor, exploding
the cartridge and firing, the ball taking effect in
her
thigh and passing out. There was no broken bone, and she is doing as well as can be expected.
