Macon Telegraph: Monday afternoon
concern was shown by every
one who read the announcement that G.. B.
Wells was dead and that his remains
would arrive in Macon last night. The an
was a canaPd, but il was based
on telegram received by Undertaken Den
mis- Heating announcing the death of Mr..
Wells and requesting him to meet the re-
mains at the union depot on the arrival of
the train from Atlanta. The dispatch was
dated from Atlanta and signed by Alex
Clark. 1t further stated that Mr.. Wells
had died of heart disease, aud as it is only
a short tims since the supposed corpse left
Macon for Hot Springs to join
Mr. Clark at that point, it was
mr. a0d kknf A4 =
on the return journey somewhere
between Chattanooga and Atlanta. Imme-
diately on the receipt of the telegram Mr.
Heating notified Mr.. Stewart, a brother-in-
law OF Mr.. Wells, of the sad news, and Mr..
Stewart at once came to the Office and on
being handed the telegram returned home
to break the news to his wife, He also
wired relatives in Montgomery, Ala. telling
them to come on ct once. When the Atlanta
train rolled into the union depot Monday
evening the hearse, pall-bearers and car
riages were in attendance, aud Mr.. Heating,
approachingstth the conductor, asked the
of the box containing
the remains Of Mr.. Wells The
conductor laughed and said that
he had come to meet the livest man in
Macon, and that George B. Wells had left
the train at the junction alive and WELL
presumably bound for his residence. At
first Mr.. Heating could not believe that a
ghastly trick had been played on him by
some one. He searched the baggage car,
but as there was no coffin he took the con
ductor at his word and the funeral cortege
to the stables. Later 1t was found
that Mr.. Wells had indeed returned home.
but he laughingly denied all knowledge of
the telegram, and as Alex Clark is still in
Hot Springs, and not in Atlanta, the whole |
affair Is plunged in mystery.
