THE FODDER SHREDDER
Still Shredding the Inhabitants o.
Preble C0unty-People Still Curl
Gus to See the Wheels Go
Round

The fodder shredder has placed it
self high above the buzz-saw on the
list of things not to be monkeyed
with Yet people continue to reach
into its cage to stroke its fur. and
usually come out with a depleted
membership. Preble county is the
banner county for desperation of this
sort. The New Paris Mirror and
other Preble county papers positively
refuse to go to press in the shredder
season until the customary list has
come in. This week S Mirror says:
Last week Milt Purviance added
his contribution to the list, but for
tunately he escaped serious injury.
He was at work with one of the ma
chimes On the Shute farm over to-
ward Richmond. 1t seems that it
is not uncommon for ears of corn
to become lodged on the husA ing
rolls in such way that they must
be dislodged with something from
the outside, and in this case Milt did
it with his foot. 1t is said that the
rollers will not take hold of the heel
of boot or shoe, that being large
and round enough that it lies on the
rollers as an ear of corn does, but in
this instance his foot got turned and
the vicious rollers got hold of the
toe of the shoe. Instantly it was
drawn in, but Milt braced him
self and tugged with the strength
born of desperation and succeeded in
freeing himself from his perilous pre-
dicament, but not until the shoe had
been torn completely from his foot.
The foot also was badly torn and the
great toe nail was torn from its place.
The injury is not very serious, but
what might have been is horrible to
contemplate. 1t is said that Leander
Butcher, who lost his hand a few
weeks ago, had his shoe sole torn off
only the day previous in exactly the
same way

A BAD MAN JAILED.
He Had Threatened to XIII the
Mayor of Dublin.

Dublin, Ga, April 30. F. Ellison
was brought from Bailey yesterday by
Policeman w. q. Kemp and lodged in
jail.
Several months ago, while serving out
a city sentence of three months upon the
streets for the Illegal storage of whisky,
Ellison escaped and has since been at
large and probably would be now had he
not been indiscreet enough to write 10
DR.. j. H. Walton. stating that since his
escape he had visited Dublin twice. for
the purpose of killing ex-Mayor, but now
Judge John S. Adams of the City Court
of Laurens county. and that he expected
to return once more and accomplish this
purpose. DR.. Walton turned the letter
over to Judge Adams, and through the
agency of the police officers at Baxley,
Ellison was arrested last Tuesday after
noon.
Ellison Will now have to finish his city
sentence and then answer to two state
cases for the illegal sale of whisky.
When he is through with this, he viii be
turned over to the federal authorities upon
the charge of violating the postal laws,
by sending threatening letters through
the mails.
Ellison came to Dublin several years
ago from Mnledgeville, and was for a
while upon the police force, but was dis
charged for drunkenness. His first offense
thereafter was to break nearly all the
arc light globes in the city by shooting
them with his pistol.

obstacle partly unearthed by recent rain,
which proved 10 be a rusted and decayed
tin box containing a solid block of paper
money two inches in thickness. The bills
are widowed with age and so compressed
together that their value cannot be deter
mined though they are probably worth
several thousand dollars Nobody knows
when or by whom the treasure was bur-
led, but the general supposition is that the
money was probably concealed during the
Civil War and its whereabouts forgotten.
Z. A. helms, travelling salesman for a
Griffin factory, was released from Sum
ter county Jail this morning after con-
fnement OF several weeks. helms was
charged with selling 100 pairs of sample
pantaloons without making a return of the
proceeds. The prosecutor humanely de-
cided to allow Nelms' release upon his own
recognizance until Superior Court con-
Yenes. The prisoner was formerly mer-
chant here, conducting an extensive BUSH
ness which failed last summer.

claimed she was untrue 10 him and said
that when he entered the room in Kenne-

Notwithstanding the dead man stated on
his death bed that he thought the shooting
was accidental, the jury to-day found Ed
Gilbert guilty of the murder Of Nose
White. another negro, and the prisoner
was sent up for life.
The killing occurred on March 20 on East
Cain street. Gilbert claimed the shooting
was accidental, and he had no thought
of killing White. He said White asked
10 see the pistol, and as 1t was being
handed to him it was accidentally dis
charged.
The dead mans father said after his
son was wounded, he asked him If Gill
bert had shot him purposely. The wound
ed man shook his head. This evidence
would not have been admitted by Judge
Gambler. If it had not been brought out
ON the direct examination of a witness
for the state.
The defense offered to prove by two
doctors. that after he was wounded Nose
White told them the shooting was acci-
dental Judge Gambler held that this was
merely an opinion of the wounded man,
and was therefore inadmissible.
