AtrOCiOuS Crime.

George w. Bundrick, the celebrated
murderer who on November 9th last
escaped from the Americas Jail and
after lodging the officers for nearly
six months finally surrendered two
weeks ago in a California town, is even
now on his way to Georgia.
The guards, with their prisoner, will
get back next Tuesday.
Bundrick was fully identified by the
Crisp county officers and made no kick
upon coming back to the scene of his
brutal crime, prehaps to pay the penal
ty therefor.
A telegram to the Cordele Post an
nounced that the departure of the
officers with their prisoner had been
delayed four days by a snow storm,
which probably blocked the railroads
in that section.
OF Bundrick's return to Cordele the
Post has the following:
''The jail has been recently cleaned
out, and is now in splendid sanitary
condition. No prisoners have been
confined there for some time.

EFFORTS WERE GREAT SUCCESS

A band of Taylor street indians,
small boys of five to seven years, held
a council of war yesterday morning in
a coal bin attached to Will G.. Turpin S
residence and, like the bold Redskins
in the dime novel, they built camp
fire around which the tribe" gathered.
The fire was a success from the start,
and doubly so when the blaze ignited
barrel of turpentine chips and rosin
kept for kindling. Instantly column
of flame shot from the cellar to the
roof of the dwelling, when a pale
face" neighbor discovered the Indian
war dance and turned in a fire alarm.
When the trucks arrived the little
Indians were dancing in greatest glee
about the camp fire, proud of the sue
cess of the venture. The flames were
quickly subdued, and for the next
week these young Indians will take
their meals after the style of the true
son OF the forest, lying down.
