Elba, July 20.-(SpeciaL) -Further
details of the hail storm that devasta-
ted a portion of Coffee County show
that the earlier reports were not ex-
aggerated. The storm covered an
area of one hundred square miles, and
was especially severe on forty square
mics. Some crops suffered ninety per
cent. loss. The worst damage done
was between Elba and Enterprise.
Many roofs were ruined by the
storm, but so far there has been no
account of injury to persons. Stock
suffered severely, and many hogs and
chickens were killed
Today in fence corners were drifts
of hail stones three feet deep. unmelted
by the sun. One drift contained the
bodies of five large hogs.
Cotton stalks were entirely stripped
of leaves, blooms and fruit At places
where three-quarters of bale to the
acre was expected, tie crop will be
practically nothing. The total loss OF
cotton is variously estimated at from
two thousand to four thousand bales
Corn also was ruined.

WOMAN OBTAINS BAIL

ON $500 BOND.
plea of Self Defense Set UP by Coun-
sci for the Defendant-Cbarg-
ed with the Murder of
Stewart.

Elba, July 2o.-(Special. Miss An
ME Rhodes. charged with the murder
of s. c. Stewart, at the conclusion of
her preliminary before County Judge ].
F. Sanders to-day, was admitted TO bail
in the sum of $500. This was readily
made, and Miss Rhodes was released.
The killing occurred at the baseball
grounds here about a week ago. Miss
Rhodes approached Stewart and fired
on him with a Colts revolver. Only one
shot was fired. the bail penetrating the
mans abdomen. producing a wound
from which death resulted. The trou-
BILE grew out of the aspersion of the
woman's character by the dead man.
Stewart was quite prominent in local
politics and was brotherin-law of Miss
Rhodes The young woman is a men,
Der of a prominent family of Pike coun-
ty.
The theory set up by the young wo-
mans counsel was self defense and tes-
timony in support of this was adduced
Undisputed evidence was offered of
many threats made by Stewart and
communicated to Miss Rhodes. One
witness swore that an overt act was
made by Stewart Immediately before
Miss Rhodes drew a revolver from her
parasol, but this was contradicted by
others. Undisputed evidence was Of
fered of former violence toward the
defendant by the deceased.
Medical experts testified that Stewart
was turning when shot. and that he did
not have his back to Miss Rhodes as
was averred by some. Physicians also
swore that an examination of the de-
PENDANT vindicated her character.
Eloquent pleas were made by the at
torneys of both sides. and at their con-
clusion Judge Sanders announced his
decision to allow bail in the sum of
$4,000. The preponderance of sympa-
thy is with Miss Rhodes.
