WARE COUNTY's SKELETON.
No CIew Yet Obtained as to the Dead
Mans Identity.

Waycross. Ga. June 21.-The skeleton
that was found last Thursday in Mos
quito bay by Andrew May, a l3-year-old
boy, while exploring the bay for a fish
lake with the Thigpen brothers and sew
eral other men, was, as printed in The
Morning News Of Sunday, brought to the
court house Saturday afternoon from
Waresboro by Deputy Sheriff John P.
Cason and DR.. T. a Bailey.
Sheriff Mcclellan gave orders to Dr.
Bailey to take charge of the skeleton and
effects and preserve them until such time
as would be convenient for a full investi-
cation.
The bones were smooth and yellow from
having remained so long iu their watery
grave. The skull was thin and smooth
on the surface, and the right jaw and
temple were missing, evidently having
been broken with a club by the assassins.
-Four bullets entered the right side of the
skull behind tho right ear and came out
just behind the left ear. The upper left
jaw contained a fun row of teeth. Two
upper front teeth were gone, evidently
having been knocked out when the jaw
and skull were broken. The size of the
bone indicate that the man was about six
feet tall
The hair and mustache were not pre-
served, though a sandy mustache was sup
posed TO have been worn by the deceased
because few strands of mustache Of
that color were found beside the skull.
Judge Sweat yesterday on leaving for
Nashville said IL was a case that should
be thoroughly sftsd for the purpose, if
possible, of Identifying the man and bring
ing to justice the murderer. He said the
coroner could hold an inquest or the grand
jury next fail could call for an investiga-
ton of the matter The only way that
any facts can be developed is for an in
rrlaef ffrn ion 70, no hold Lot w.
Denton of Buckley. and Morris and Lee of
Brunswick, tell what they know of the
drummer and driver Mr.. Denton holds a
receipt from the drummer knows the
drummers name, and can give a descrip-
ton of him.
Capt. Denton lives about fifteen miles
from Waycross.
Ut was thought Saturday by a few per-
sons that the man who last fall ordered
a team sent him at Glenmore by Morris &
Lee was probably the person whose skele-
ton was found. Dave Jones' the negro
who drove the team for the man. was
shown the skeleton and Intercepted con-
corning the man. He said the man claim
ed he was agent for a real estate firm at
Macon, and ordered the team for week
Jones was detailed to make the trip and
at Live Oak, Fla, the real estate agent
fled with the team. Jones returned home
and said he had been robbed of the team
A few days later the man reached Waldo
with the team. Some one recognized the
horses and asked what he was doing with
Morris & Lees team. The man got fright
ened and turned the team over to the
Waldo party. who sent il home.
Late this afternoon the opinion prevails
that the skeleton is that of a negro who
was lynched without the knowledge OF
the public. Coroner Grimes, however,
will hold an inquest when some new facts
may be developed that Will cause a change
of opinion as TO the color of the dead
man.

tered the barber shop in the rear Of Hol-
lis saloon, near the corner of Marietta
and Broad streets, and went into an out
house. Pretty soon Il was announced to
the bartender that a man in a stupor was
in the outhouse and he brought the man
outside He was pushed into a chair and
a physician sent for. The doctor saws he

something had been done TO the man. He
did not know whether he had been chloro-
formed or sandbagged Arnold is now all

afternoon returned 10 his home. Tho sa-
loon Is one OF the most central ana most

STILL AFTER THE SOUTHERN.
MACON MERCHANTS PRESENT A
PETITION TO JUDGE SPEER.

1t Asks For Receiver and the
Petitioners Express Desire to
Have the Matter of ConsoIi-
dation Passed on by the Court.
Judge 'Speer Takes the Matter Tn
der CONFERENCE.-The Letter 10
Gov. Atkinson Not Yet Made Pub
lie.
Macon. Ga, sumo GA few Macon mer-
chants have determined 10 push the hght
against the Southern railway and to-day
renewed the attack by carrying the petit
non into the United States court for the
southern district, and praying Judge Speer
10 uphold the state constitution against
railroad coas0GdaT5n-- t4f-f'a4-''s-l -2
for a receiver for the Southern
railway system. The document is
voluminous. with several exhibits at
tached. and recites the same allegations
as were contained in the petition sent to
the governor. the main point being
throughout to give Macon competitive
lines of road
Judge Speer has the petition under con-
eideration, and so far it has not reached
the clerks Office, and it is positively stat
ed that Judge Speer will take no actior
on the allegations for several days, as he
wishes to give them due consideration.
He saws he viii not decide the matter at
issue on an ex parte hearing, but Will give
annie notice to the complainants and de-
PENDANT companies so that all the facts
and laws bearing on the case may be fully
presented and argument heard he says
the case is not similar to the RoNehd
Clarke case in any feature.
Accompanying the petition is prayer
for Injunction to restrain the southern
railway from operating competitive lines
OF road to the detriment Of the people.
None Of the attorneys in the case VIII
discuss the petition simply saying that
they have left the matter in the hands
Of the court, and all information must be
obtained from that source.
The movement has very little sympathy
in this community, and is discouraged as
much as possible The petitioners have
nothing TO lose but might possibly turn
a penny by wrecking corporate interests.
Atlanta Ga, June 21.-The governor still
refuses to give the press the letter sent
him by the attorneys representing the Ma
con petitioners who wished him to sue the
Southern railway in the name of the
state The letter accounts to limited eX
tent for the sudden withdrawal of the Pc
tition. So far as can be learned, it re-
fers only to the governors hardness as a
motive for the withdrawal.
His reluctance to give out the note has
been criticised. That reluctance seems TO
have been based on what he considers inn |
pertinence on the part of those who sent
it. They appear TO have demanded his
decision by a certain date, where, as he
thought he had the privilege to return It
when he felt that he had time TO take it
under consideration. He says if the at
torneys wish TO publish it, they may, and
they say the same of HIM.
