This goes SO far in some quarters that the
belief is openly expressed that tn" Kaiser

authorities are aware of, II j. argued that
Germany has great. far-reaching ambi-

bound to clash sooner or later with the
Monroe Doctrin.

TWO BROTHERS SHOT DOWN.

Were Trying to Force Woman of III
Repute to Leave NeighbOrhood.
One Reported Dead and the other
Badly Hurt.
Waycross, Ga, June 21.-News has
Just reached here of the shooting last
Saturday night of two brothers, John
and Perry Nettles. who reside near
Buckley, in this county. The shooting
was. done by unknown parties at the
home of a woman of i'll repute, six
miles from Buckley. The woman was
recently notified by neighbors that she
must leave the neighborhood. She hav-
ing refused to do so, it is believed that
the two Nettles boys went there Sat
urday night to force her to leave. While
they were in the yard some one showed
a gun through the half open door and
fired two shots attthe men. a charge
of buckshot entered John Nettles' back,
and the other charge struck Perry Net
ties in the thigh. Both men fell to
the ground and were carried to their
homes by friends later in the night.
This morning it is reported that John
Nettles died last night, but this re-
port is not confirmed. DR.. F'riar, who
is attending them, stated yesterday
that John would surely die and that
Perry was dangerously injured.
The men believe that the shooting
was done by a man who was in the
house. and have told the name of the
man whom they suspect-One of the
neighbors living near by. No arrests
have yet been made, on account of the
officers not having been notified of the
trouble until this morning. Both OF
the injured men are farmers and have
families.
