Goolsby attempted to use a shotgun. Fullerton seized it, and the two men stood with left hand grasped on the gun, while they drew their pistols and emptied them into each other. Fullerton fell dead. Goolsby staggered away a few steps, fell and then raising up on his elbow, emptied both barrels of his shotgun into Fullerton. He became unconscious almost instantly and it was supposed last night that he was dying. Macon, Georgia News-November 12.
