Smiths Relatives are Suspicious
Regarding Manner of His Death.
Americas. Ca, March 1S.-When Tom
Jones and Jack Smith, two citizens of
Montgomery, and brothers-in-law,
fought in that city three weeks ago,
Jones shooting Smith to death in the
fearful Sunday morning tragedy, the
body of Smith was embalmed and
brought to his former home near Amer
icus for burial. Soon thereafter Jones
was discharged from custody on pre-
liminary examination, the testimony
eVincing the fact that he killed Smith
in self-defenSe.
Relatives of the dead man here are
still dissatisfied with the story of the
killing related at the time, and with
the expectation of securing additional
evidence in the prosecution of the case,
have just had Smiths body exhumed
and critically examined by reputable
physicians. Wounds found upon the
body were evidently made with a knife,
but whether in the hands of the em-
balmer is to be determined
Smiths relatives residing near Amer
icus are wealthy, and will employ the
best detective skill in the hope of Sc
curing additional testimony. Some pro-
less to believe that there is a long
story of the deplorable family tragedy
that win yet come to the surface.
Both Jones and Smith were reared
in Americas and lived togeather in
Montgomery.

SMALLPOX AT STATESBORO.
The Situation Improving Rapidly in
the Town.

Statesboro, Ga, March 1S.-The
smallpox situation is improving rap
idly, and unless unforeseen circum-
stances arise entire public freedom
will be restored within few days.
There have been no cases at all out
side of the homes in which it was found
when it was diagnosed as smallpox.
Those places have been quarantined
and only in a few cases have other
members of the family taken the dis
ease. Only nine yellow flags in all
have been put up, and the report that
is current that there have been forty
cases in the city is entirely incorrect.
This account can be verified by COM
municating with the city authorities
There have been no deaths and there
is but little or no chance for the dis
case to spread. The people have been
thoroughly vaccinated, and it is pref
ty good indication that there is no
general affection by reason of the fact
that there have been no cases except
in the houses where smallpox was first
found to exist.

BAD EGGS WE'RE Thrown.

A shower of over-ripe eggs, a flour
ish of pistols, much hot talk and an
incipient riot were the features of an
entertainment given at Punta GOrda
Friday night by the Salter family, a
home talent theatrical company. The
attraction was produced some time
ago, and made quite a hit. The show
was to be repeated, but several per-
sons were evidently displeased either
with the show or the performers, and,
when the company appeared on the
boards, threw a large assortment of
unhealthy eggs at the entertainers,
who fled in confusion from the stage.
The egg interlude aroused the anger
of other members of the audience and
a riot was threatened. A number of
pistols were drawn and flourished in
the air, curses were literally eX-
changed, and disorder reigned in the
hall. Peace was restored without
bloodshed, but the show was called off
until a more propitious date.

BLEW HIS EYE OUT.

Walton News and Messenger (Mon-
roe): Saturday afternoon Master Vir-
gil, the 16-year-old son of Rev. r. E.
McCutchen of this city, sustained a
serious accident. He was at Winder at
the home of his sister, Mrs. James f.
Sheats and was in the yard splitting
wood. He, it seems, struck a very
tough piece of timber and, being un-
able to split it, boy-like, thought he
would blow it open with cartridge.
He took his AK, made an opening, then
placed his cartridge, and drew his ak
out. lie then took his knife and
tapped the cap, thinking that the load
would go Immediately into the wood
when, to the contrary, the shell flew
back into the boys face, cutting out
the ball of the left eye. Virgil Nc
Cutchen was by no means addicted to
the habit of carrying anything like a
weapon. He just merely found and
placed the cartridge, inoffensively, in
his pocket and, having a knowledge of
the explosive power of a cartridge,
thought he could use it to advantage
in opening the wood.

INDICTMENTS SETTLED.

The Rogers and Huguley indict-
ments in the Pike Superior Court at
GAINESVILLE, growing out of the failure
of the New South Savings Bank of
GAINESVILLE, were settled Monday. In
obedience to an order of Judge E. j.
Reagan $4,000, less the court costs of
$500, were paid to the receiver. 1t is
estimated that this amount will pay Is
per cent. of the Indebtedness of the
bank. This percentage of payment
added to the 5 per cent. already paid
and about 5 per cent. to be paid, will
not, it is thought, exceed 26 per cent
in all that will be realized by the
creditors upon an Indebtedness of $4O,-
900. The assets have not materialized
The bank, with a capital stock of only
$4,000. loaned over $4,000 to one insti-
tuition.
