A SCRAP AT AMERICUS
MERCHANTS AND A NEGRO HAVE A LIVELY TIME

Americus, Ga., May 31--(Special)--Messrs. Nat Carson and Arthur Rylander, 
prominient young merchants of this city, had a lively encounter last night 
with Green Trice, a country negro, in which Carson used his pistol, but 
without effect.  The negro was accused of stealing goods from Carson, who 
pursued and captured him as he was leaving town.  The negro resisted and 
cursed Carson, who fired at him in self defense.  Mr. Rylander told the negro 
to quit cursing and was himself attacked, but grittily seized Trice and was 
getting the best of the fight when the police came to the rescue.  Trice was 
badly beaten before he would surrender and be locked up.
