MARSHAL KILLS
DEFIANT GERMAN
GERMAN PoKED RIFLE THROUGH
WINDOW but MARSHAL GOT
IN FIRST SHOT WITH
FATAL EFFECT.

AUGUSTA, Ga, June 23.-John from
merhauser was shot and killed by Mar
shall George Heckle, of Summerville, just
before noon yesterday.
The tragedy occurred near the entrance
of Monte Sano park. Trommerhauser oc-
cupied one room of house, the other side
being occupied by a negro who was the
marshals hostler. Inc negro not having
shown up to do his work in the morning
the marshal, after having attended the
funeral of Judge Price, rode over to see
about it. He rode up to the house and
called the negro, when suddenly the barrel
of a rifle was showed through a broken
pane in the window and he saw Trommer-
hauser pointing the gun at him.
The marshal drew his pistol and fired
the bullet passing through the next pane
and striking Trommerhauser in the chin.
He fell back on the floor, the rifle falling
outside.
Heckle dismounted and ran into the
room. Trommerhauser was grooming and
saying something, but being a German
who could scarcely speak any English no
body could understand him. Physicians
were hastily called, but he died within an
hour after having been shot. The body
was taken in charge by Undertaken VIII
son, who prepared 1t for burial.
1t appears that several days ago from
merhauser had acted disorderly and the
marshal had threatened to arrest him,
and TrOmmerhauser had told others that
he would shoot the marshal should he
make the attempt

Ranks and Conditions
of People in
Summer.
A Prominent and Popular Chica-
go Lady Restored to
Health.

The success Of Paine's Celery Com
pound in banishing the ills and diseases
that follow people into the summer time,
has not been confined TO any particular
class of society. Men esteemed in busi-
ness and professional life, mechanics, far
mers, women leaders in society. and the
wives and mothers OF humble homes,
have all by voice and pen. contributed
strong testimony In favor OF the medicine
that restored them to health and strength.
When Paine's Celery Compound is used
there is no more neuralgia, rheumatism,
dyspepsia, stomach arrangements, liver
or kidney troubles. The blood once foul
and stagnant, is made fresh and pure,
and courses with a regularity that brings
vigor and happiness. The use of one bottle
is often sufficient to estab lish a health
robust enough to combat the dangers and
perils that are common In hot weather.
Mrs A. T. Lermond, Chicago. Ill, Cor
responding Secretary Of the w. c. T. u,
tells of her complete restoration to health
through the use of Paine's Celery Com
pound. The great medicine was prescribed
by one of Chicago's ,ablest physicians. Mrs.
Lermond says:
"A few years ago I went through a
surgical operation. After being In bed
for four months I was able to be up. but
was exceedingly weak and worn, nervous
and unable to sleep or eat. Ny physician
prescribed Paine's Celery Compound, and
1 at once began to feel stronger. After
using a few bottles my health and
strength were completely restored, and I
am glad to give this testimonial In its
favor"

JUDGE SPEER HITS
At BARTLETT'S
FIGURES
SAYS CONGRESSMAN is MIsLEAD-
B ING IN HIS QUOTATIONS FROM
REPoT OF ATTY. GENERAL
ON EAk. ,RUPTcY COSTS.

MACON, Ga. June 2S.-Judge Emory
Speer. OF the United States court is out
today in an interview replying to Con-
gresham Bartlett's attack on the bank
ruptcy courts when the question of re-
pealing the existing law was before the
house on the 18th instant.
Mr. Bartlett quoted from the attorney
generals report and stated that it showed
that the expense OF administering bank
rupts' estates in the southern district of
Georgia is AZ per cent, while in the north
ern district Of Georgia IL was a much
smaller percentage. Judge Speer declares
that Congressmans Bartlett's figuring
is entirely erroneous and misleading; that
the figures in the attorney generals re-
port show that instead OF the expenses of
his court being AZ per cent Of the estates
administered they are not more than per
cent, and are about one-third OF what they
are in other jurisdictions. His process of
calculating Is entirely different from
Judge Bartlett's, Notwithstanding they
both quote the same tables.
