McRae Ga, March 12.-The headless
trunk Of man was found in the Ocmul-
gee River on the lower point of Oaky
Bluff, near here where it had drifted
during the recent high water.
There is little doubt that the man
had been murdered, as the head was
apparently severed from the body with
an axe and there were wounds in the
chest and abdomen which were inflicted
with an axe.
The body has apparently been in the
water for about two months and there
is nothing about it which gives a clue
to the identity.

SO SAY RAILROAD OFFICIALS
RumOr That His Successor May Not
BE Appointed for Some Time,
and Possibly Not

Railroad officials who are CONVEX
SAINT with Northern Pacific-Great North
ern-Burlington affairs are convinced that
it is only a matter of month or so
when Darius Miller, second vice president
Of the Great Northern, will mo<e to Chi
cago to act as traffic director for The
three roads.
The reason that Mr. Miller has not
gone before is due to the fact that there
has been no meeting of the new North
ern Pacific board. Mr.. Miller was slated
to go to Chicago on July l last. He had
picked out offices and made such ar
rangements necessary for his move.
The inauguration of the new office has
been postponed from time to time, but
it is now stated that Mr. Miller will as
sumo his new duties on Sept. l, if not
sooner.
Speculation is rife as to Mr.. Miner's
probable successor. The G. o b is able
TO state from very authentic sources
that for at least six months or a year
there will be no second vice president of
the Great Northern, and, moreover. there

COAL SUPPLY ASSURED.

ny Ureat Northern,
The Great Falls & Canada railroad has
been formally turned over to the Great
Northern. The purchase includes all of
the trackage, right-of- way. equipment
and buildings of the purchased road

ROAD has l34 miles of narrow galIne
tracks, and its equipment consists of
seven locomotives and ia passenger.

In the transfer made there was no
question of the road beyond the America n

was not mentioned in any way as being
connected with the sale.
The real object of the purchase is not
only to do away with the extra maui of
iOo miles now necessary by way of Havre
by the Montana Central and Great North
ern, but also to enable the Hill system
TO tap the large rich coal field in the
vicinity of Fernie about 100 miles west
or Lethbrldge. This will assure the Grea I
Northern a plentiful supply Of coal for
the eastern portion of its system and also
enable it to put that commodity into
Eastern and Northern Montana. This
move, combined with the plan to build
a road north from Jennings. on the
Great Northern main line to Crow 3
Nest pass fields on the western side of
the Rockies, will place the Great Northern
In position to obtain a sufficient supply
OF good steaming coal for many Fears
The Crows Nest pass coal is pro-
nounced by experts to be equal to the
best quality of WEIGH coal for steam pur.
poses. 1t viii be readily taken I'D on the
Pacific and shipped in large quantities to
the Orient
The reason assigned for the Great
Northern's tapping the Crows Nest pass
and Fernie fields from that side of the
mountains is That it will be cheaper ana
easier to haul the coal for the eastern
division via Macleod and Lethbridge and
down to the Great Northern main line
than by taking it out by way of the
Jennings route and then hauling it over
the heavy mountain grades through the
MaTias pass to the eastern slope
