Dodge County is stirrod UP by Attrocious
Grimes. -..
Eastman, Ga, Speoial.--One of
the most atroclous 8 crimes ever
committed has jnst been brought
to light at DeBois, twelve miles
above here. The story is that
Richard Tucker was given a dose
Of strychnine by farm hand.
The alleged facts as reported are
these:
The farm hand was infatuated
with Mrs. Tucker, who it is alleged
returned his affection. To get rid
Of Tucker he mixed strychnine
with some peach brandy.
Mr.. Joel Horn, while visiting
Mr.. Tucker, complained Of fooling
badly, and Mr.. Tucker gave him a
drink Of the brandy. Mr.. Horn
died within an hour.
Having failed in accomplishing
the ond aimed at, the farm hand
fixed some capsules with the
strychnine, which were given Nj :.
Tucker on his complaint Of feeling
badly. Mr.. Tucker died soon
after.
Upon their arrest and incarcera-
ton IN the county jail Mrs. Tucker
and the farm hand accused each
other of the killing.
Public feeling is at fever heat,
and but for the timely arrival of
Sheriff Rogers, the farm hand would
have been summarily dealt with,
and there is strong talk of lynch-
ing.
Drs. J. D. Herman and J. B.
Clark cut out fuckers stomach
and carried it to Atlanta for analy-
sis by the state chemist, and rela.
tives wish all analysis made of Joel
Horns stomach.
All the parties are of good fam
lilies.
A special term of Dodge Super.
ior court will probably convene to
try the cases, as the public de-
mand it.

WRECK CLEARED AWAY.

The Southern Railway has com.
pleted the work of clearing up the
wreckage Of 13 cars and an engine
which ran away on the heavy grade
up Saluda Mountain last week and
were almost annihilated. The
train of cars after gaining a fright
full speed left tho track and landed
III valley some distance from the
main line. A side track was
built down to the wreck and a
large wrecking engine drew the de-
rallied freight engine back On the
track. One car of the train which
did not leave the track was loaded
with eggs and, strange to say, few
of them were broken. The runa-
way was attributed to the fact that
the air brakes had been tampered
with. When tho crew saw their
danger they jumped and the train
rushed on down grade for several
miles before leaving the track. -

A TRILBY BRIDE.
Wont to Porch Ostenstbly to Wash Foot
and Joined Her Sweetheart In tho
Cotton Field, .......',

Cotton Field, .....',
Charlotte, N. CA special from
Troutman, Iredell county, N. G.,
says:
News has just reached here of
the exciting and novel marriage
of Mr.. Tom Eryin and Miss Rama
Eagle. Miss Eagle lives with Mr..
J. d. Croker and he was bitterly
opposed to her marriage with young
Erwin and kept a strict surveillance
over all h9r movements. The young
people couldn't got away and but
for the timely assistance of Orin
Harwell they would yet be trying.
Harwell laid the plans and the
others carried them out. It was
this way, Miss Eagle having taken
off her shoes on the eve OF her mar.
riage walked out on the porch os-
tensibly for the purpose of washing
her feet when she suddenly darted
across the yard and through
field Of cotton where she was met
by her lover and young Harwell.
There was buggy in awaiting and
in less time than it takes to tell it
they were off with the horse
stretched at dead run.
Harwell, however, strayed at his
post to arrest the progress of the
pursuing Croker. Mr.. Croker is a
fierce man and everybody else was
afraid of him. Just why he went
no further than the cotton field
nobody knows but those two mon.
Harwell could tell but ne just grins
and won't. However, the bare-
footed, bare-headed bride and the,
groom soon reached the home Of
Marriage Artist o. o. Harwell who
being called out of bed stepped on
the porch also bareheaded and
barefooted and as time was pre-
cious they were married in short
order. Young Erwin then drove
with his Trilby bride to his own
home as we'll content as if he had
married in the church with tho
sanction Of the whole world. #
