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 annihiIated. The
train of cars after gaining a fright
full speed left tho track and landed
III a 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. .-

Dodge County is Stirred UP by Attroc cious
Eastman, Ga, Special.-One of
the most atroclous =. crimes ever
committed has inst been brought
to light at DeBois, twelve miles
above here. The story is that
Richard Tucker was given dose
Of strychnine by a 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 feoling
badly, and Mr.. Tucker gave him q
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
strycbnine, which were given Nh {.
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.
