BROTHER TOOK HIS WIFE.
Soldier Returns to Find His Home
Has Been Destroyed.

Americas, Ca, Jan. 31.-A rather re-
markable story reached this city to-day
from De Soto. village in this county. ten
miles from Americas
Several months ago a man and woman of
good appearance arrived at De Soto and
secured board at a farm house, making
friends of all about them.
Two days ago a soldier of Georgia reg
iment rectnly mustered out of service, came
to De Soto and caused CONSERVATION by
stating that the man and woman stopping
there were not husband and wife, sup
posed, but were his own wife and brother
who eloped together from Upson county
and had since been living together.
The three held a long conference, with
the result that the supposed married Wis
itor was arrested and sent back to Upson
county, where, 1t is said, he has family.
1hs soldier, who says his name is Kent,
didnot seen disposed to wreak vengeance
upon has brother for having. as he charged
destroyed his home by taking his wife
away, but only wanted him to return to his
own discarded family In Epson. Kent de-
clared that he would have nothing
more to do with the woman who thus left
him for his brother.
The Mrs. Kent now at De Soto is young
and quite pretty, and seems little disturb
ed at the unexpected discovery of herself
husband. 1t is said that she claims to be
a niece of Gen. Gordon, though her state
ment is scarcely credited.
The episode created a great sensation in
the little town of De Soto and If the
statements are true, as told by the people
there, the gay couple may be brought be-
fore the courts in this county.

Waycross, Ga, Jan. 31.-The startling in
formation comes 20 hand that Mrs. Frank
Cooner came near being suddenly ushered
into eternity one day recently in a very
peculiar and unexpected manner. She
walked out TO where her husband was
cutting down a tree bearing her boy in her
arms. Unconscious of any danger, she
sat down upon the end of a log near by.
A sudden gust Of wind brought down the
tree upon which the man was cutting
sooner than was expected. and in falling
it struck the top of the log upon which
the woman was sitting.
Her husband, seeing her peril, ran to
her and had just succeeded in getting the
child out of danger when he was shocked
to see his wife thrown down and buried
almost beneath the log. The wonder is
she escaped with her life, for her head
and face were buried in the dirt and It
took the husband some time to remove the
log. He was compelled TO raise the tree
and hold il up while he took his wounded
wife from beneath il.
Mrs. Cooner's wounds were very painful.
Her face and shoulder were badly bruised
one thigh dislocated at the hip and brok-
en- be.ow, and and her right foot was
badly wrenched
