THOMPSON SENT TO JAIL.
Statewide Postmaster Must Answer
for DefaIcatiOns.

| Tor
Valdosa, Ga, Aug. 16.-Postmaster
Thompson of Statewide was given a
commitment trial here this morning
and remanded to jail at Savannah, in
default of bond of $3.50, for trial at
the November term of the United
States District Court. The trail con-
sumed only short while. The postal
Inspector. an expert accountant, and
two or three other parties appeared as
witnesses against Thompson. He made
statement in which he admitted he
was short in his accounts, but that the
amount was not more than $50, to the
best of his knowledge and belief. 1t is
believed by those who have watched
the case that Thompson used the money
in buying machinery for grist mill
and gin which he had established. ex
pecting to return the money from the
profits from these enterprises.
Two sad deaths occurred yesterday,
the funerals being conducted here to-
day. The first of them was Miss Ma
mic Van Valkenburg, cousin of the
McRee brothers. Her death occurred
yesterday at the home of Mr.. Young
McRee, where she resided. The funeral
was conducted here this morning at 8
o'clock, the ceremony being performed
Dy REV. ~. Is. chester, OF the MelnO-
dist Church. The other interment was
that of little j. l.. Jesup, the 3-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Jessup.
The little ones death occurred at jack
son yesterday. the parents being on
visit to that place when their child
was taken sick. The little fellow was
the picture of health when taken i'll
last Monday but lived only two and
half days after the attack. The funeral
was conducted this evening by Rev.
Mr.. Jessup of Fitzgerald.
The Grand United Order of Odd Fell
lows have been holding their annual

About five hundred delegates attended

dowment or insurance feature for the
order. The officers elected for the en-
suing year are T. B. Kelley of At
lanta, district grand master; w. D.
Johnson of Americas, district grand
secretary; w. l.. Hughes of Tennille,
district deputy grand master; j. B!
Davis, Dawson, district grand treasu-
rer, and William Lissimore of Valdosta,
district grand deputy. The colored

M'NAUGHTEN INDICTED.
Grand Jury Holds Him for Murder
of Robert Patton.

Griffin. Ga. Aug. 16.-Forest Nc
Naughten, the slayer of Bob Patton
was this morning indicted by the
grand jury on the charge of murder.
Lufn Kennedy, the young man who was
with him, was acquitted of any COM
plicity whatever and to-day is as free
as he was before the horrible tragedy
of Wednesday night.
There are hardly any additional par
ticulars to the sad killing of Bob Pat
ton, whom it is said by the action of
the grand jury was murdered.
He was with his brother, Tom Pat
ton, at Blanton's Mill on Wednesday
night at midnight, and Lum Kennedy
and Forest McNaughten came by on
their return from Brooks Station, where
they had been to attend a meeting. 1t
has been said that McNaughten was
drinking, but this may have only been
a logical conclusion drawn from the
fact that he shot Patton in the dark
in what seems to have been an unpro-
Voked manner.
Five witnesses, Tom B. Patton, H.
]. Smith, j. j. Kennedy, Coroner w.
IT. Latta, and ]. J. Johnson appeared
on the bill of indictment furnished by
the grand jury. McNaughten was ar
rested yesterday afternoon and brought
to the city by Sheriff Freeman and
Deputy Sheriff Jesse H. Starr, and
placed in Jail.
He did not seem to be particularly
disconnected over the affair, and was
talking in a joking way to all whom
he came in contact about the affair.
To-day he is rather more subdued,
and as he will wait in the jail until
November. he may have an opportuIt-
ity to reflect that a killing under any
Circumstances is to be regretted.

FIRE AT HAZLEHURsT.

Big Stock of Merchandise Damaged
by Flames.
Hazlehurst, Ga, Aug. 16.-This morn
ing about 8 o'clock Frank Pace, col
ored, discovered a fire inside the brick
building occupied by Losenbloum,
Pace & Chapman, general merchandise.
Help was soon there and the flames ex-
tinguished. The fire had evidently been
burning slowly all night, as the tar
had been drawn out of the ceiling over
the entire building. The entire stock,
valued at $4,000, is materially damaged,
and a good portion totally consumed.
The fire is supposed to have originat-
ed from a cigar stump thrown in a box
of sawdust used for a spittoon. If a
draft had entered the building, as well
as several other houses, would have
been burnt in a short time. Stock
fully insured.
