AN ELk'S BATTLE.
His Terrible Struggle with a Pack of Fe-
roclous wild Dogs

A stockman in from the Wind river
range. Wy T., tells Of fierce and eA-
citing battle between a courageoussold
elk and the wild dogs that infost the
Wind river region. The river escapes
from the mountains and hills into what
is known as the bnsin district over
high and beautiful hills named the
Maiden Hair. While riding near these
falls few days ago, the stockman's
attention was attracted by deep bay
ing, and, at once recognizing the
sound rs coming from savage dogs.
and realizing the necessity Of getting
out of the way. the horscman rode rap
idly to the top of n neighboring hill,
which commanded an excellent view
of the falls and also of the surrounding
country. lie had scarcely reached the
top of the hill wheg he saw, dashing
along u high ridge running parallel to
the river, magnificent buck elk, hotly
chased by dozen or more mountain
dogs. The race had cvidentle been on
for some time, for the elk appeared to
be about exhausted and the dogs were
moi i'm the best of condition. On swept
the pursued and the pursuers. every
bound bringing the dogs nearer the
launches of the tired elk. Suddenly
the elk changed his course and plunged
down the side of the ridge. making
straight for the falls. Oyerhanging tho
cdre of the river, and towering di-
rcctly above the pool at the foot OF the
falls, was huge rock. On this rock
the bull made his way, and planting
himself within few feet of the edge
and with lowered antlers, awaited tho
attack. He did not have to wait long
The dogs came with rush and hurled
themselves at their prey. First one

the elk's antlers and sent bowling into
the dcpths below. just when the fight
was the hottest the rock, or ledge,
upon which the battle was being
fought, suddenly gave way, and with
n crash the combatants were dropped
into the water and rocks at the foot OF
the falls, and their bruised and bleed
ing remains were swept on down tho

spencer Everett,s sulcide.


Spencer Everett, young man well-known
throughout the city, suicided yesterday morn
ing at DIR. $. e. Eyeretts home, on tho Geor-
gia railroad, about three miles from Cow
ington,
An old shot gun was the instrument used.
Everett, who was about twenty years of age,
worked for o number of years In Robinson &
ogletree's planning mill, but just before Christ.
mas throw up his place there aud went
to live with his uncle, DIR. Everett near AL
man. small station about three miles from
Covington. The young man was quite prom
1Slng and iii short time was almost in complete
charge of his Qncle's farm. His life was about
the same as That of all country boys, except
that he did not mingie with his psighbors as
freelyas he might have done. lie was extreme
ly steady and lost no time from his work
except an occasional day in the woods with u
gun. Early yesterday morning lie borrowed
the gun from his uncle, and soon after break
last started out by himself as he always haA
done. A half hour after he had left the house
some one heard gun shot up the road toward
Covington, but paid no attention to it. A halt
hour after the discharge of the gun
farmer riding along the road
observed some one lying beside the road ap-
pafently asleep, with n gun beside him. Tho
farmer was in the act of riding by when he no.
ticed that one shoe was off and was some dis
lance away. This caused him to look more
closely and in doing so he,saw that the entire
left side of the man was covered with blood.
The farmer then dismounted and walked up
to the PROSTATE figure and found himself
beside dead man. An investigation showed
the farmer that the dead mans entire left
side almost had been blown away.
After ascertaining this much the farmer
rode on to Everett's plaee--he had recognized
the dead man--and notified him. The doctor
returned with the farmer TO the place
and after making careful investiga-
ton had the body removed to his home and
then notified the coroner. The Indications,
from what has been ascertained, is that young
Everett after making up his mind to kill
himself, pulled off his left shoe. Then, after
cooking the gun, he placed the muzzle against,
his left side under his heart lie then put his
toe on tho trigger and the end was accom-
plished.
Dr. Everett came to Atlanta on the
first train after tho body was
found and notified James NJ.
Everett the dead boys father. In the even-
ing Mr.. Everett, accompanied by his family,
went up to Altman, where the body will DO
buried today.
No cause for tho suicide is known so far.
Dr. Everett was unable to assign any as nd
note had been found up to the time he came
away. The doctor says the boy has always
been apparently happy and never despondent.
He was not known to have had any troubleE
The boys father cannot imagine sRny reason
for the act.
The gun had at least O handful OF shot in 1t,
and the hole made by the load was a large
one.

Killed by n Train.

Sam Francis, a Georgia Pacific railway car
coupler, was cut and crushed to death last
night ia the railway yard just in the rear Of
Haiman's plow factory.
Francis worked in the yard with night crew
and last night was attached TO switch engine
No. - handled by Engineer McNab.
just at the point where Faucis stepped upon
the track two rails ran parallel only few
inches apart.
And these rails were the death tran into
which Faucis walked with his eyes wide open
In some way the coupler IN stepping upon
the track placed his left foot between the Two
rails. The
RAILS WERE VIDE ENOUGH APART
to allow his shoe 10 drop between them, but
they were just close enough together TO pre-
vent him from drawing his foot out in timo TO
save his life.
His foot was securely fastened between the
iron rails.
The moving car was less than twelve inches
behind Francis when he placed his foot in tho
iron trap, and although he tried hard to re-
lease himself, the car was upon him before the
conductor realized the terrible situation. The
car, though moving very slowly, had great mo-
mentum. The end struck Francis squarely in
the back and pushed him upon his knees.
Just then Conductor Smith discovered
ms oouPLEH's DANGEROUS POSITION,
and began signaling Engineer McNab 70 stop
As he made the FIRST motion with his lantern,
a piercing scream from Francis rang out, and
before IL died away the unfortunate man had
been forced from his knees to the track, He
fell upon the rail, or rather dropped upon IT,,
each second struggling to release himself One
half OF his body was on one side
and tho other half upon the
, other sido Of tho rail. The
car, though the engineer had reversed his
engine, continued to move. First II passed
along tho leg, and after breaking II al tho
ankle, cut and crushed il 10 the thigh. Then
the heavy wheel started upon the mans body
aud crushed out another horrible cry for help.
And that was the last cry Francis over ut
tered.
The ponderous wheel holding up a box car
with heavy load rolled on until 1t was nearly
half way up tie mans back. Thon the train
stopped. Conductor Smith ran to his coupler,
but at glance saw that there was bat one
way 10 rescue him and that was 10 let the en-
CINE pull the train off. He gave the signal
and while he was holding Francis by the land

Where the truck Comes From.

mere tine truck Comes FROM.
A word or two. to Georgia farmers, dairy
men, and truck men.
Across Broad street bridge there is row of
produce and commission houses. The side
walks in front of them are packed constantly
with bales of hay, tubs of butter, barrels OF
apples, potatoes, onions, cabbages. buckets Of
preserves iellies and pickles. A line OF drays
is employed day after day in hauling these
goods one way or the other.
This street is the great center from which
stuff of this sort is shipped throughout the
state. a CONSTITUTION reporter took walk
down the street the other morning. He struck
Mickleberry y McClendon, "Where do you
get your onions?' From Ohio Your pota-
toes?" From Virginia and illinois," "Your
apples" From the west" "Your butter%
From Illinois,
Simons & Drummond said, after Mr..
Drumnond had looked over the store care
fully; II do not believe there is q thing In
this store that is made or grown in Georgia.
We rely for every thing we buy on the outside
markets. Our hams come from the north and
west; in fact, we buy nothing in Georgia"
Shomo Brothers made the same statement
in effect. This firm brings in enormous cans
of butter, almost in carload lots, from the north
and west, and sell it throughout the towns OF
Georgia. Mr.. Shomo said: There is no limit
to the sale of good Georgia made butter. The
few Jersey farms in the state supply butter to
retail groeers, and get from thirty-hve to fifty
cents pound for it. Every grocer will tell
you that he could sell double the quantity if
he had it,
This story is repeated all along the block.
Nothing raised in Georgia. Potatoes onions,
apples, poultry, eggs, butter-everythin
brought in from the outside, and yet there is
no better country in the world for raising these
things than Georgia. Most of the stuff is
raised on land in the north and west worth
hundred dollars an acre, and with short sum-
mer seasons. In Georgia land averages ten dol
lars an acre, and it is summer eight months in
the year.
Mr.. Falvey makes strong point on freights
BE said:
Gan the stuff handled by produce and COM
mission houses pays very heavy freight. 1t is
safe to say that an average of thirty-three per
cent all around is added to the cost, to pay the
freight. In many cases, the freight equals the
original cost of the goods. This Immense mar
gin would be saved if the goods were bought
at home, and would give the Georgia grower
almost twice as much rs tho western grower
receives. III spite of this, they fill our market,
and we raise nothing at home"

To a correspondent she told the story of the
killing as follows:
