BOY
SHOT HIS BROTHER
HE is NOW BEING HELD ON 2
CHARGE OF ASSAULT WITH
INTENT TO MURDER.

Jim Jacobs, a young white boy II
years q age, who lives out near the
Taylor-Cook cypress mills. will prob
ably be the first youngster to 80 to
the state reformatory from Glynn
county.
This boy is now being held in the
Glynn county Jail on the charge Of
assault with intent to murder. having
shot his older brother. Nose Jacobs,
out near the mills a few weeks ago.
The boy was brought In the SUI
perior court room yesterday after
noon. but after some discussion the
case was not tried 1t was prac-
tically agreed to let the youngster
enter a plea of guilty and serve a
term in the reformatory. but the case
finally went over.
1t seems that Nose Jacobs. who is
19 years of age, was trying to
make his younger brother go home
and put on some clean clothes on
Sunday, May 25. Jim, however, re-
fused to obey his older brother and
some little sdihiculty resulted The
younger brother then went away and
secured a shot gun from some Of his
friends He returned in few min
utes and secreted himself in the
woods nearby and as his older
brother passed he fired. nearly the
full load Of bird shot entering his
leg.
The young boy was arrested but
his mother ana brother did not want
to push the case against him and ar
rangements we're being made to
send him to the reformatory, but it
Is now probable that the case will
be tried However, even if the
youngster is convicted when the trial
comes off he viii be sent to the re-
formatory instead Of to the chain
gang or penitentiary.

Peter Stuart, colored, who has
been confined to a cell in the Glynn
county jail, charged with a double
murder, was given his freedom yes
terday, being discharged in the su-
perior court upon his own recog-
nizance.
Stuart, it will be remembered, was
arrested charged with numbering the
two negroes who were found dead in
the front yard Of a negro house out
Brooklyn very near a year ago
The murder proved a great mystery
to the officers and for several days
no arrest was made. Both the
L groes had been murdered late one
Saturday night or Sunday morning
The interior of the house showed
signs Of a general scrap, while in the
front yard both OF the negroes were
fund dead with bullets in their
bodies.
After working on the case for some
time, Stuart was arrested, charged
with the double murder During the
December term Of the superior court
the case went over, the state not
being ready for the trial
When the case was again reached
yesterday the states attorney an
lnounced that no case could be made
out against Stuart, as there was no
evidence whatever on which he could
be convicted. and that therefore the
state could not 90 to trial Under
those circumstances, Judge Parker

After viewing the situation from
all sides, the conference Of officials
OF the railroad lines in the south
eastern territory, adjourned Friday in
Atlanta without arriving at any de-
clsion in regard to the establishment
OF revised party rates.
In fact, it is highly probable that
no party rates will be granted in the
future by the railroads of this terri
tory While no such action was
taken by the officials Friday, at the
same time nearly half of the repre-
sentatives present expressed them
selves as opposed to granting party
rates.
All of the party rates, which were
formerly granted to theatrical or
amusement parties of ten or more
people at a rate of two cents a mile,
we're withdrawn May 81 on account
OIL a decision rendered by the inter
state commerce commission declar-
ing that all party rates should be
open to the people.
While the railroads have endeav-
ored to agree upon revised party
rates no definite action will be taken
until a subsequent meeting will be
held.

NINTH INNING FINISH
Locals Failed to Score Until the
Eighth, When They Tied the

in the Ninth.

III q H4OLlg uhloAA
Brunswick yesterday afternoon de-
feated the Blackshear aggregation Of
ball players in pretty and we'll
played game. which did not lack in
interest from beginning to end,
The game was one of those which
belonged to either team until the
very ninth. and then. with the score
tied in a hard knot, IL, the locals,
after two men had been retired, went
IN and got the necessary run to win
the game.
Walker and Donaldson. who op-
posed each otber in the box. both
ana excellent work and divided
honors about even. Donaldson sue
Iceeded in securing the largest mum
her Of strile-outs, but Walker got
q shade the best Of Il in the hit
column, the locals coming in for O.
while Walker allowed the visitors
only 8 Neither pitcher walked a
man, nor did hit batsman go to
first The two twirlers both had ex-
cellent control
Up TO the fourth inning neither
team succeeded in getting man
across the home plate, although the
locals had several good opportuni-
ties, but the necessary hit was not
Forthcoming. Blackshear, however,
in this inning, made their first and
only run during the game After
that it looked as though The run
making was over and the fans
thought they would see a 10 game
with The visitors at the big end, but
the game took on a different turn in
the eighth, and with a hit. a stolen
base and an error. the locals tied the
score and the fans became more in
terested than ever
The visitors failed to help their
score in the ninth and the locals
realized that their only chance to
win was to send a man across the
plate, and they were bent on this
performance. After losing an ex-
cellent chance before single man
was out, the locals waited until two
had been retired and then, with two
singles, ended the game
Both the teams played good, fast
ball, and made but few errors. They
seemed pretty evenly matched and it
was a hard-fought battle. Donaldson,
who pitched for Blackshear, is a
twirler OF ability as well as a good
iCter getting two singles out of
four times up. Walker, however,
proved a good match for him, and
kept his opponents down to five
hits. He secured the longest hit of
the game, sending the ball to deep
/ eft for a two-bagger
The two teams will meet for the
second game this afternoon and it
IS expected that , large crowd will

two straights instead Of splitting

two teams met on the diamond here
