LIQUOR AND EXPOSURE,
FROM DRUNKNNESS TO DEATH ,sAN
AWFUL FATE.

Crawford Butler Found cad In an old
Field--some circumstances That Make
tho Casea Little Mysterious
AUG UsTA, Ga, Feb. 2G.-Crawford
Butler. colored, was found dead out in
the territory Sunday morning.
The report was circulated Sunday
| that man had been found frozen to
death, but Chronicle reporters were un.
aole to verify the story.
The coroner was sought, but was not
found, nor could any news confirming
the report he had. At police head
quarters the officers knew nothing
more than that there was such a rumor
but up to midnight were not able to
give any definite information.
The report was only too true, how.
ever, an unfortunate man, with too
much liquor aboard had fallen by the
wayside and perished in the cold. His
body was found by John Smith in the
ditch that drains the Lafayette race
course near the site Of the old dancing
pavilion. The absence Of the mans
breeches gave rise to rumors and
thoughts of foul play, but an envelope
containing the remnants Of a weeks
wages were found in his vest pocket.
Through this 1t was learned that the
body was that of Crawford Butler. lie
had been employed by Mr.. Il. o. Brown.
There Is still much spec ulation as to
the mans movement before his death.
His missing breeches" could not be
found after a thorough search. All
his other garments were accounted for.
The coroner held an inquest and DR..
Morgan examined the body. There
was only slight scratch on the knee
and no marks of violence. The corpse
was found face down buried in the mud.
The man had been in Mr.. Dick
Timm's store the night previous and
being already in state Of intoxtcation
the proprietor refused to sell him any
liquor. He was boisterous and often.
sive and some of his acquintances per-
suaded him to leave aud started him on
his way home. He soon lost his bear
ings, however, and wandered around In
the cold until he fell by the wayside.
From drunkenness to death is an awful
fate.
The coroner's verdict was death

TROOPS WILL PROTECT.

CHICAGO, III July e.-Mayor Hop kins has issued orders to the chief of police to swear in 800 more men to aid in repelling strikers. General Miles said to-day, If the order of Mayor Hopkips is carried out there will be, in my opinion, no further trouble. It is a plain and unmistakable order to the police to suppress the rioting and to disperse the mobs and stop the de- Struction of property. We are cor- tainly not doing police duty for the city of Chicago and until the police fail we cannot be expected to disperse these mobs except when we come in contact with them in protecting the trains. Our actions now depends on the railroads. Our troops are here to protect them when they make ready to move trains"
