: TO BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.
PIimp Hodge, slayer of Sam Hodge,
Arrested in Arkansas.

Valdosta, Ga, Oct. 8.-Plimp Hodge,
who has been wanted in this county for
the murder of Sam Hodge, at the Lower
Fork precinct, during primary election,
Aug. 25 of last~year, has been arrested at
Vanndale, Ark, and Deputy Sheriff Bar
ney Harrell left to-day to bring the pris-
oner back. The fugitive has been located
for several months, though it was not
known exactly what town he was in. A
Pinkerton detective wrote the authorities
here some time ago that Hodge or Irwin
Ashley as he called himself in his west
ern home, was in LaCross county, Arkan-
sas, and asked about the reward for his
capture. No reward had been offered, and
the Pinkerton officer took no further in
terest in the case.
Later the officers here found out that
Mrs. Hodge and the children had gone to
Arkansas to live with the husband and
father. Ii is understood, too, that Plimp
Hodge was in correspondence with rela-
tives here, and that he had written to an
attorney asking if bond could not be given
in his case. Solicitor General Thomas it
is understood, was approached by Hodges
attorney, and asked If he would agree
to bail in the case If Hodge would sur
render. The solicitor refused to agree to
bail. Numerous little incidents happen
ed ana the OIlCefS Oh the law kept Lnelf
eyes on all of them. During the past
week or so they were satisfied that Irwin
Ashley was none other than Irwin Ashley
Hodge, nick-named "Plimp," and that he
was living in Vanndale, Ark. The sheriff
of LaCross county was telegraphed to ar
rest Ashley and a reply came from him
that the arrest had been made.
Deputy Harrell armed himself with a
health certificate and left for Atlanta,
where he viii get requisiton papers from
Gov. Atkinson. He expects to return with
the prisoner in four or five days.
The crime for which Hodge is wanted
is that of killing his uncle during the
primary election of last year. The case
is very bad one, and Hodge will prob
ably regret being caught before he gets
through with it. There has been some I'M
friendly feeling between him and his un-
Gle, Sam, Hodge, caused by the fact that
Sam had collected defaulter's tax from
Plimp and because, as justice of the
peace, Sam had decided a case against
him. During the democratic primary oil
last August Plimp came to the polls to
vote, but having been wavering in his
fealty to the party Sam Hodge suggest
ed to the others present that Plimp be
sworn to abide by the nomination. Phmp
was offended at this and row ensued He
was called from the room by some
one, who explained the situa-
ton to him and tried TO pacify him. The
two returned to the building together and
some time later Sam Hodge remarked that
no man who was not a democrat should
try to vote in a democratic primary.
Plimp is alleged to have uttered an oath

FIRE QUICKLY PUT OUT.
Electric Wire Started Al Blaze in s.
Guckenheimer n sons store.

Electric Wire Started a Blaze in s.
GucI1enheimer n sons store.
There was small fire this morning in
the wholesale store of S. Guckenheimer &
Sons. at Bay and jefferson streets.
The alarm was turned in from box No
8 by Policeman Ungar, who noticed a
strange light in the second story of the
building
The department responded promptly and
two windows were opened leading into the
second story, one on Bay and another on
Jefferson street. The fire was found in
the western end of the building, one of
the large wooden supporting pill
lars and several boxes around
being ablaze. 1t was easily ex-
tinguished with. the chemical engine so
that there was no damage from water.
The fire evidently started from an i'm
properly insulated electric wire, upon
which it is supposed a ground circuit got
in its work The wire in question is on a
separate circuit from those which furnish
the greater part of the lighting to the
building One end of it was spluttering
with electric sparks when the fremen
arrived. One side of the pillar, and the
sides of several boxes of gelatine were
the only things that burned.
Alderman A S. Guckenheimer was sum-
moned from the Screven house at once
but the fire was out when he arrived
The building Is filed with au-
tomato sprnklers which the plugs melt
a 40 degrees. There was one pipe not
very far from the blaze, so it will be seen
from this how little Roadway the fire gain
ed The f1remen did some good work in
putting such sudden termination to it.
The water was all ready to be turned on
in case 1t had been needed.
The fire, which destroyed the building,
in 1892, was caused from electric wires
very much in the same way this one
started.
