Rencounter.Yesterday evening a rencounter occurred below Forsyth street crossing, on the Macon and Western Bnilroad, between Samuel Bostock and J. Tom Maloney, both engineers, we understand.The statement of Bostock is, that he and Maloney had a previous difficulty, and went to this spot to settle it. When they arrived on the ground Maloney proposed to’measure off the ground, but Bostock suggested that they lay aside their pistols. Maloney, it is said, fired twice at Bostock before the latter returned the fire. Several shots were interchanged.Bostock was wounded in the calf of the leg, and Maloney about five inches below the right nipple. Moloney’s wound is considered fatal.Of the extent of the injuries received we cannot definitely report until we hear from the attending surgeon, Dr. Lou Orme.Maloney came from Chattanooga originally, and has a wife and a small family of children. Bostock came from Columbus, and is noted as the bosom friend of Ashburn, and is the Magistrate who issued the warrants against the Co-Iambus prisoners.Both parties are reported to be strong “Rads.” Of the origin of the difficulty we could not gain any definite information. The statement of Maloney, should he be able to make any, will probably throw new light on this matter.[Atlanta Constitution, 1 St/i.
