NOT A CASE OF SUICIDE.
Mrs. willingham's Death the Result
of an Abscess.


WASHINGTON, April 22.-The rumor that
Mrs. Mildred Lawton Willingham, niece of
Gen. Lawton of Savannah, committed
suicide, revived to-day, was repeated to
Senator Call, who, as the friend of the
deceased and of her relatives in Jackson
vile, co-operated with Representative
Blount in caring fer the remains and for
her little girl. He said: "Dr. Markeller
who attended her in her last illness has
made a written statement Of the facts
which have transmitted to her relatives,
MIR. and Mrs. Stockton in Jacksonville. In
this he states that she died of an abscess on
the brain superinduced by an attack of the
grip. He attended her from Friday. On
Saturday she seemed better, but on Sunday
she grew worse and so on until she died at
2 o'clock Monday morning from the cause
named.n
AN AWFUL SHOCK.
The little girl was so shocked by her
mothers sudden death that she was
in no condition to travel, so Mrs. Call is
taking care of her, and she will remain with
the Calls until she can be sent to her father
in Macon. The fact that Mrs. Willingham,
when she was taken i'll upon her arrival at
the Belvidere last week, where she regis
tered, by the way, as Mrs. Lawton, gave
all her jewelry and her money, about $50,
to her child, telling her that she would like
to live to see her grow up but that she knew
she would not because she was going to die.
is the main fact on which the suicide theory
proceeds. About all that is known of Mrs.
Willingham's movements since she left At
lanta has been learned from the child, who
says they went first to Louisville, then TO
New York and then came here.

Catching a Turkey.

The will turkey is "A famous runner,
and relies more upon his legs than upon
N, wing, when pursued. When the
lard. are found upon the open prairie.
therefore. the chase, for a man on horse
lack becomes really exciting. Colonel
ndse saws that in Texas. many years
AGO he used occasionally to kill them
With a stick from horseback. A flock
being discovered ON a prairie two or
three miles across. detour was made,
and the horseman, coming up from the
word rushed with yell at the birds,
Tightening them so badly that some
would ly to the open prairie.
The first flight was from four hundred
10 six hundred yards, depending ON the
weight and fatnoss Of the bird. Alight-
ine. he ran at full speed At the end Of
his frs, flight he would probably be two
hundred or three hundred yards ahead
Of the horseman, but this distance was
soon lessened after he alighted.
On the near approach of his pursuer,
Ne would essay another flight, this time
scarcely one hundred or two hundred
yards. A third flight generally finished
an wing business, and his further efforts
at escape were confined to running and
lodging. A stick four feet long and as
large as ones finger was carried by the
hunter, and as the turkey turned to
avoid the horse, smart blow on the
head finished its life and the race. In
this way one day killed two turkeys,
and brother officer three, from ono
fock
Some days after, another officer from
the same post went out riding with his
wife. Coming on flock of turkeys in a
favorable position, lie proposed that
they should catch one.
After an exciting chase, fine large
bird was run down so that he could
scarcely move. and confined himself
solely 10 avoiding the feet of the horses
The officer had no stick to kill with,
and in his excitement, thinking he could
easily catch bird so exhausted, he
sprang from his horse. and took after
the turkey on foot. He ran his best,
but the bird ran just fast enough to
avoid his clutch. and finally. when
utterly blown and exhausted he gave up
the chase, he turned to see his horse
disappearing in the distance, and his
wife on her horse in full pursuit of the
runaway.
He had to walk about eight miles to
the post and for some months it was
not quite safe to say turkey" to him.
