the Governor received the refusal 20 pay

4 Case in Macon That Is Likely to
Attract Some Attention.


Macon, Ga, Feb. oh. c. Tindall, as
receiver for the Macon Hardware Com
pany. made his final report to-day, and
showed that his bank accounts were $1,000
short. The court ordered him to appear
Monday morning and show why he should
not be punished for contempt of court.
He claims that he had a private account
in the banks. and that the 5000 was
paid 10 him by the banks on his personal
check, and the checks were then charged
by the bank to his 'receivership accounts;
whereas the receivers fund could not
have been legally withdrawn without the
courts counter-signature. He holds that
this relieves him from liability TO the
court
The banks say they had no notice of the
courts order requiring that checks be
countersigned by II, and that IL is Gus
tomary to pay out money 10 receivers
on their checks signed simply a. receiv-
ers and that Mr.. Tindal is mistaken
when he says the money was paid on his
private checks The case IS an old one,
and the checks have been returned as
vouchers.

their bundles. and were on their way 10
their buggies. when the report OF u

was followed by a second report
one fuu load OF buckshot struck

He fell. and was taken up and tenderiy
cared for, but the wound proved 10 DC
a fatal one, and he died about $50. lie
was conscious up to the last and told his
brother and those about him that ne Was
going to die.
Just who the ASSASSIN was is pro
found mystery. according to the reports
brought here this morning. Prof. W l.
DuVan and Mr.. George Love came ID
on the early train and told the news TO
wayeross people
George Ricketson was well known IN
Waycross, where he has relatives, ana

For years he was an operator Tor inc
Plant System. He worked at Pearson
Waresboro. Sumner and other places on

This he did. until her death aud since
that time. he has spent much OF MS time

erous hearted young man, and always
kind TO the poor and the suffering ms
greatest trouble was with the old demon
John Barleycorn. When under the iniiu-
ence of whiskey he would do many
things that otherwise would be
for from him. This led him into greai
many difficulties from time to time, and
not many months ago he was Thought 10

old feud was settled.
When Hiram Sears, Jr.. was killed from

day the blame of the killing on hiR, but
ne easily proved an aHDl- 4ic NaS"e HiiS

Last night ne was perfectly sober, anu
there had been no trouble of any kind.
Just who fired the fatal shot or why II
was done. may remain forever a mystery.
Mr. Ricketson was 50 or 80 years OF
age, and had never married. He was
brother of Mrs. William Parker OF this
city.
