Sensational Tragedy In Georgia.

Cedartown, Ca, May 30.--A sensa-
tional tragedy has occurred at Grady, 8
miles from Cedartown, tn at resulted in
the death of one man and the wounding
of another. q. Il. Strickland went home
at night and found w. w. Wiley at his
house with the formers wife, and the
three spent the night as usual.
About 10 O'Clock that night Wiley
came down stairs and prepared o dose Of
headache medicine and took it. He then
fixed up dose of strychnine and went
to Strickland's bed, telling him he must
take it or take worse, at the same time
whipping out "A calibre revolver.
Strickland jumped up and knocked
down his assailant. The two men fought
land with the latter's own pistol and fled
in the darkness from the house. Mrs.
Strickland also left the house during the
fight and the wounded man sought his
neighbors for relief. DIR. O. v. Wood
was summoned and found Strickland
shot through the left lung.
A posse kept watch over the house all
trouble would follow. About 9 O'Clock
they struck the trail of Wiley near
Strickland's home, and in the chase they
overlook Wiley about one mile from the
scene of the shooting. He ran into a
neighbours house and told the ladies,
VINO were alone, that mob was after
him, and hurriedly gave his version of
the difficulty the previous night, saying
that he was not to blame altogether for
the trouble. He said that in his pocket
were letters from the wife of Strickland
that would prove the part of herself in
the tragedy. He also said that no was
going to kill himself before the crowd
pursuing him could find him. Saying
this, he. went into o room, closed the
door and shot himself in the temple and
through the heart, dying instantly. The
posse came up before he was cold and
broke into his room, finding his lifeless
body on the bed.
1t is alleged that the dead man and
Striokland's wife were on intimate terms.
The affair has stirred the community
to frenzy of excitement, and the pc
ouliar death of the man in the case has
ended one of the most unusual OCCUR
rences in the history of this county.
Strickland, the wounded husband, is do
ing as well as could be expected, but his
condition is serious.

ing and was sitting on the steps of one
of the passenger coaches. AS the train
was passing over the Seneca river bridge
he lost his balance and fell forward,
landing on his face on the wooden cover

and number of bones were broken
when he was found and he was probably
instantly killed. If his body had been
thrown few feet further he would have
fallen to the ground below, about 40
feet, but he would not have fallen into
the water, as the train had CROSSED the
river when the accident occurred.
An inquest was held yesterday by the
Oconee county authorities and simple
verdict in accordance with the facts was
rendered. OF course no blame was at
tached to the railroad company. The
verdict was that he "came to his death
