cident occurred on the Mackenzie road
sixty-four miles east OF here, last week.
A family named Bull were coming across
the mountains from Baker City to Coos
Bay. A little girl of Mr.. Bulls was rid

wagons. AS they were moving along
the party heard the girl scream, and on
looking around saw the horse running

was caught in the stirrup. She was
dragged at least quarter of mile in
this manner over the rough mountain
road, and when found was dead, being
lacerated and mangled in horrible
manner. The remains were placed in
wagon and brought as tar as Mackenzie
bridge, where they were buried in as
decent a manner as possible, and the
party proceeded.

Ends With No Let Up.

Yesterdays weather was remarkable in
more ways than one. 1t was remarkable
because of the wide difference between the
temperature of Savannah and that of the
nearby inland towns, and because with a
comparatively low reading of the thermom-
eter the heat was SO intensely felt
The maximum temperature at the signal
station was 49, but it is doubtful if the heat
has been felt more severely any day since
the hot spell began. This is accounted for
by the humidity of the atmosphere.
The temperature of the interior
towns of the cotton district was:
.Jesup 104o, Eastman 1922. Quitman 1929,
9S', Smithville 9S0, Townsville 9S', Balm
bridge 96', Waycross 81, Milleu So.
There are two remarkable features of
these observations. For the first
time this season Savannah is the coolest
place in the district and no doubt in the
state, and Millen for once lacked several
degrees of being the hottest. The average
highest temperature for the district was
$50, one degree above Tuesdays average,
and the highest average this season.
Savannahs minimum temperature yes
terday was zee, and the mean was So, or
one degree above normal. While the tenn
perature at no time went very high it will
be seen that it kept more nearly even yes
terday.
Charleston had exactly the same condi-
tions as Savannah, comparatively low tenn
perature with high humidity. The maxi
mum there was So, while the average for
the district was o.
Augusta was as hot as usual, with max
imum of 1909. The average for the Au-
gusta district was 9SS.
Atlanta, the summer resort of the Pied
mont escarpment, enjoyed pleasant tenn
perature of 96e maximum.
The maximum at jacksonville was 9S',
and at Mobile 96e.
There were no observations made on the
''cool" weather yesterday, though. He was
fortunate indeed who was not pouring per-
SEPARATION forth from every pore. SEARCHED
shirts were at a discount, and standing
collars did not stand very long.
The forecast of the weather department
for to-day is continued high temperature
with fair weather.
The heat during last night was almost as
severe as it was during the hottest part of
the afternoon. There was hardly breath of
air stirring and people sweltered in the
streets and on their doorsteps and balconies
until after midnight, when faint breeze
came up. like the breath of fan, and peo-

Joe Robertson prosecuted Julie Whitehead
for assault and battery. Joe says Julie hit
him with fatiron. Julie proved that Joe
owed her Sl2 for board, which

THE CONVENTION POSTPONED.
The Superior Court Clerks to Meet al
Brunswick Sept. II.

The superior Court Clerks to Meet at
Brunswick Sept. II.
Owing to the fact that Jacob L. Beach.
clerk of the superior court of Glynn county,
will have to be in Atlanta under medical
treatment on July 16, the time fixed for the
fourth annual convention of the clerks of
the superior courts at Brunswick, President
j. K. P. Carr of this city has postponed the
time of meeting until Wednesday, Sept. II.
The postponement will be advertised in
Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Atlanta and
Townsville, and on tomorrow MIR. Carr
will mail announcements of the postpone
meut to all the superior court clerks of the
state, assigning the reasons for the post
ponement.
1t was through Mr.. Beach's invitation
that Brunswick was decided upon as the
place where the convention should be held
this year, and it is also through his request
that the postponement was made, so that he
can be present and aid in the reception of
the visitors.
1t is thought that the later date will best
suit the members of the association and as
there is no pressing business to be trans
sacted, and as the legislature does not meet
until in November. the delay in the time of
holding the convention will not be an en-
barrassing one.
Mr.. Carr informed MORNING NEWS re-
porter yesterday that there is a wrong i'm
preston extant that the sheriffs have been
asked to consolidate with the clerks asso-
citation. He says the sheriffs have an asso-
citation of their own, and at the last annual
convention at Rome resolution was passed
inviting the sheriffs to cooperate with the
clerks in securing such legislation as would
be mutually beneficial. In line with this
action of the convention Mr.. Carr will,
during the month of August. send circular
letters to each of the sheriffs throughout
the state officially notifying them of the
auxiliary aid invoked by the clerks con-
yention

mayors Show Window.
Altmayer's window was an object of ad-
miration to all beholders yesterday and last
night. The most artistic and unique design
in the way of show windows that has been
seen this summer is now on exhibition. It
is particularly catching" portraying, as it
does, the most prominent work of archi-
lecture in the city, the De Soto hotel
The design is gotten up entirely Of cards
of buttons of all shapes, sizes, colors and
varieties, and represents the Bull street
entrance to the De Soto. The representa-
ton is faithful in every particular, and
there is not an arch nor a window sill miss
ing. Being in different colored buttons
artistically arranged the appearance of the
whole is very attractive. Topped, as it is,
behind with lace curtains. The designer
is an artist in his profession and came from
New York especially to do this and similar
work for Altmayer g. Co.
In the window is beautiful little gold
watch in plush case which is offered as
prize to the person guessing nearest the
number of buttons contained in the design.

system is branching out still more. Now
comes the statement that they will COM
plete the Decatur, Chesapeake and New
Orleans railroad from Decatur to Gallatin,
Tenn. This road was begun last year, but
only thirty-f1ve miles were finished. At
Galatin the road will connect with the
Louisville aud Nashville and the Chesapeake
and Nashville railroad, being in operation
from Gallatin to Scottsville, KY. By COM
pleting this road from Scottsville to a
joint on the Cincinnati Southern,
the East Tennessee would have
another new and powerful trunk
line to connect with the Mem phis and
Charleston at Decatur. and possibly with
the mineral roads which President Brice,
of the Richmond Terminal, says are going
to be built in Alabama. 1t is also reported
that the East Tennessee has sec ured the
Tennessee Midland, and will exte nd it to
Nashville. The road is now in operation
from Memphis to the Tennessee river. This
great arm OF the Richmond Terrninal is
also after another road, the Nashville and
Knoxville, and the chances are that before
the year IS out the East Tennessee will have
the greatest mileage Of any road in Ten
nessee.

from the LarlaJ to the Well-Deserved
.Cat-o'Nine Tails.
The baneful influence of the trashy litera-
ture so plentifully supplied to ruin the
minds and morals of the young is best
exemplitied by an incident related by Detec-
tive Wetherhorn TO MORNING NEWS re-
porter yesterday.
Il do not propose to give you the names
Ior publication" said the detective as he
began to relate the story, ''for the lads who
were the principals belong to respectable
parents, who have had modification enough
without seeing their names in print.
Last Wednesday morning was
awakened about 4 O'clock by a vigorous
pull at my door bell and when am aroused
at that hour 1t always means something 1t
was no exception to she rule. A gentleman
whom met at the door informed me that
twice within few days he had missed
money from his cash drawer-the first
time So and the second time $50. He had
learned, from the companions of
his two sons, aged respectively
y and IL years. that they had been in
huenced to take the money by an older
white and colored boy as nucleus for a fund
for the four to go to Texas as cowboys, and,
what was worse, the older boys wanted his
sons to make a third visit to his cash drawer
which if it had been done at the time when
1t was urged would have resulted in a haul
of about S400.
Il was not long in finding the guilty par
ties. One OF them was a colored lad of a.
who had been to Texas. He wears his hair
long, after the style of the cowboy, and it
was he who had suggested the elopement,
and the white boy, youth of
nearly II, did the finauciering. The
latter suggested that it was
necessary to first have a lariat, that they
might first practice with the lasso and be
able to bring down an Indian, a buffalo, a
wild horse or Texan steer from the jump,
that none of the party would be taken for
tenderfoot after reaching the home of the
cowboy.
1.-The first So was used to purchase material
for the lariat, and the colored boy was the
instructor in making it. Last Sunday the
quartette went out on the Ogeechee canal to
practice with it, and reported on their re-
turn that they had been to Sunday school,
When the $50 was taken it was turned
over to the fnancier, who gave the
two victims to understand that it wasn't
enough to take them all to Texas, and it
would be necessary to get more. SO they
would have some surplus when reaching
Texas. This money the boys had buried
until last Sunday, when it was dug up and
paid over when the boys met in the country
on Sunday"

paid over IS 40 to the colored boy, retained

ready for the trip, buying material for the
iarlat etc. recovered $24 so"
