The Georgia senate has passed a bill
making tia penal offense for any person

that reflect upon the good name of a

the old days there were la WIS against
scolding and tattling, as we'll as laws

stool was high In favor as an inducer Of
polite conversation.

Mr.. Stone overlooked the suggestion
and ordered swcetbreads. While lie
was eating "Monty" lowered around
and told what bad been happening in
Furmau during the preceding ten years.
In fact, he made himself so agreeable
that Mr.. Stone was afraid 10 offer the
customary "tip" lest he should offend

o OF old acquaintance.
The next time they met Mr.. Stone
was standing at a crossing regarding

"Great Scott!n he exclaimed.

with a gentle pull. IL was there last

hear about the fire in Furman two
weeks ago? McKenzie's store and the

COLONEL PLATT DEAD.
Severe How to Denver and the Denver
Paper Mills of which He Was the
Enterpri-ing President.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 13.-A special
from Georgetown to the Denver Times
sun says:
The most intense excitement and
widespread sorrow was created here
this morning by news from Green
lake. near here, that Col. James FL.
Platt. president of the Denver Paper
Mills company, had died suddenly at
that place this morning. At first the
news could hardly be credited, and a
report that he had been drowned,
which reached here ut IL O'Clock, was
not credited. County officials imme-
diately went to the scene, however,
and nj noon the sad news was confirm
ed. Col. Platt did not die from drown
ing. II was then learned, but from apo
pleNy.
Col. Plat and his family came to
Georgetown from Denver on Saturday.
They went Immediately to Green lake,
which is three miles above here, IN
tending to stay until this afternoon.
This morning a man went up from
Georgetown after their baggage, and it
was waiting them at the station at the
time the news was received here.
At 10 o'clock this morning Col Platt,
who was apparently in the best of
health, took his fishing rod and line
and told his wife that he thought he
would fish for n time and until they
were ready to leave. He went down
to the shore OF the lake and stepped
into n boat which was anchored near
the bank. A few minutes later one of
the men, who had been watching him.
cried out that the colonel had fallen
into the water. There was an imme-
diate rush for the boat The unfor
tunate gentleman wis lifted out of the
water in an unconscious conution. He
WAS casping for breath and died with
in few minutes.
hasty examination showed Col.
Plat had. fallen as n result of an apo
plectic stroke. He was not in the water
long enough to have caused drowning.
Mrs. Platt, one of the first at the
scene, was beside herself with grief.
The body OF Col. Plat was tenderly
lifted from the bank and carried to
the hotel. where he had been stopping.
Later il was brought TO the undertake
er's office In Georgetown and prepared
for shipment to Denver by the after
noon train.
Col Platt was widely known
throughout the state as the promoter
os tie extensive paper mills at Denver.
These mills have been built almost
solely through his efforts and their
successful operation is due to his bust
ness sagacity. He was actively en-
gagged In promoting many other public
enterprises at Denver. He was %
years old.

DYNAMITE IN THRESHER.
Disastrous Explosion Ranch Near
Greeley.

areeleN
Greeley. Colo. Aug. l3.-Bolander &
Co.'S threshing outfit burned this morn
ing at the ranch of ii. Morgan, about
three miles northeast of this city. Bo-
lander x Co. are from Wray, Yuma
county. in the rainbelt section of Colo
RADIO. and only arrived In this vicin-
ity few days ago. IL is reported that
while one of the hands was feeding
the thresher with wheat an explosion
occurred. blowing the machine partly
TO pieces, scattering the fire out of the
engine, and in a moment everything
about the machine was in II blaze. Be
sides burning three of the crew Sc
verely, the thresher and separator
We're burned up, and also about 200
bushels of wheat.
Some claim that the explosion was
the work of a miscreant who was OPP
posed to strangers coming in and split
ting up an already overworked field,
and that he used dynamite. Others
are more charitable and think that a
gun or pistol cartridge accidentally
got in the cylinder with the grain and
its explosion produced another explo-
sion from the dust in the machine.
Damage to the thresher and wheat
about $1,000.
