j. b. Butler, a young man from New
York, came here few days ago to take
the position of bookkeeper at Cathcart's
saw mill. He told the boys about the
mill that he was an expert hunter, having
hunted big game in the Adrondacks
etc, and also said that New York city
his native home, was the seat of brains
and learning for the United States The
other boys who were employed in the
office asked him If he had ever hunted
snipe. He said he had not, but would
like to do SO. The other night a party
was arranged, a hack secured and Butler
was taken by the crowd to Blue Springs
about four miles from the city, where he
was given the bag to hold. He got back
to the city the best he could, after the
crowd had left him. 1t was about day

Atlanta, July 8.-(special )-sheriff
Frey of Cobb county, made statement
today relative to the murder of the young
white man, Arthur Wood, whose body
was found a few days ago by his aged
mother within 200 yards Of their home at
Oakdale In Cobb
After a thorough investigation of the
case Sheriff Frey announces it as his
conclusion that Wood was murdered by
a mob and not by one or two men for
the purpose of robbery. He has evidence
to dispute the robbery theory, and states
that he can prove that Wood was fol-
lowed from Atlanta and waylaid. He says
he is confident a connection can be es-
tablished between the murder of ', God
and the recent charge against him of
criminal assault upon young lady of this
