Irwin Bird tcolored) died yesterday morn
ing at o'clock at the Georgia Inf mary
from the effects Of blow on the head with
shovel in the hands Of q fellow workman,
William Robertson, last Tuesday morning
Both men were engaged in laying rails for
the Barnard street division Of the Belt Line
railroad at the corner of Harris and Bar
nard streets, and were apparently good
friends. Bird in a joking manner pulled a
handkerchief out Of his pocket. and, way
ing it toward Robertson, said
"Fhis is what your girl gave me last
night"
Robertson's jealousy was immediately
aroused, and he asked him what girl be re-
ferred TO. Bird replied that IL made no
difference abput that further than he was
given the handkerchief by Robertson's
girl. Robertson tuen retorted that Bird
was - liar. Bird stepped forward with
his shovel in his hand, and told Robertson
that il be repeated the remark he would
knock him over.
THE FATAL BLOW.
Robertson quickly repeated the words,
and almost at the same moment raised his
shovel and brought its sharp edge down
with terrific force on the left side of Birds
head, cutting deep cash about four and
one-half inches long
Bird fell to the ground, with blood pour
ing from his head. As soon as Robert
son saw what he had done he threw
down his shovel and ran away, since
which time be has not been seen.
The matter attracted little attention and
was never reported to the police. Bird was
quietly sent to the Georgia 1nfirmary,
where he suffered great pain up to the time
of his death.

inquest on the body yesterday afternoon.

Washington, who were working with Bird

Some Things to Believe.

There are some things we want you to
to believe, and there some things we
don't want you to believe. We don't
want you to take stock in the report
that we are the largest Agricultural
Implement dealers in America. A
good, rair trade is good enough for us
and we mean to stay right here in
Caldwell.
When you hear people say Howard
Sebree 60. sell the best farm machin-
cry in the country, you can believe
what they tell you every time. They
are the leading implement concern
and will suit you on prices.
We don't want you to believe that our
machinery is sold so low that we
don't make any profit ON it. We
don't want you to think that we sell
wagons and machines for fun. Oh
no, we don't like this kind of sport,
no fun in it for us. But we do want
you to believe that we sell first class
machinery and sell it at a very small
profit.
We don't want you to believe or get
the idea into your head that H. s. Co.
want the earth; we are satisfied with
9 very small portion of terra firma.
We do our selling on about eight
Caldwell lots, which is enough for Us
to do business on.
We do not want you to believe that
Caldwell is lone horse town." Quite
the contrary; it. is full Of business
and push.
Hundreds Of wagons and machines are
sold here, and Howard Sebree Co.
are pioneers in the business and truly
takes the lead on low prices. Believe
all this and come and see US when you
come to Caldwell.
