cspecal to The 7lmes-Dispa.ea.,

SPECIAL to The Tlnes-Dispatef.)
TAZBWI1LI. VA, January 1.-THE mys-
ferrous finding of the body of County
Clerk T. Il. George IN Plum Creek Branch
yesterday morning is still tho sole topic
of conversation, and the excitement CATS
ed by the tragic occurrence has not
abated in the least. The fact that he met
such q horrible death within almost hall
ing distance of his home, where his fam
ily were enjoying the pleasures OF u hap
nv household. anxiously awaiting the re-
turn OF the fnther and husband, makes
the affair the most gruesome and shock
ing this community has ever eXpe-
rienced.
Tho great majority of the people here
can never believe that Mr.. George came
to his death by his own hands, although
the facts seem TO indicate that he sud-
denly became insane and committed the
deed himself, and that after 1t was TOO
late his reason returned to him; that as
q partial PREPARATION for the benent OF his
family and legions OF friends he would
not have it said that after he was gone
his going was through his own instru-
mentality. but through that OF another.
The theory of self-destructon is the
most plausible one to-day, adhered to by
the detectives on the case and number
of leading citizens and his closest friends.
Watch Found.
His watch. which was reported missing,
was recovered early this morning from
the creek. near where his body was found
Yesterday. The money which he is sup
posed to have had on his person may be
In his safe in the clerks office here, the
combination OF which is not known. The
deed is supposed to have occurred about
two or three hundred yards beyond his
home, which is about four miles west of
town. where a puddle of blood was
found.
After his throat was cut, he walked
about sixty feet to the bank of the
creek. and entered walked or was
washed down the stream about twenty
or thirty yards to deep place in the
creek. where he Is supposed. overcome
by loss of blood, to have sunk down in
the water. death ensuing directly from
drowning There was not the slightest
brulse on his body other than the cash
on his neck, which was about three
inches long and one inch deep. No one
has been able to explain why his bride
was cut and slipknot made out of 1t
through the buckle on the bride. This
bride was found near him on the bank
of the creek. paper and pencil was
also found near him on the hank, but
there was no indication that he had ever
attempted to write q note OF any kind.
Mr.. George was a wealthy and pros
porous farmer in addition TO the clerk
ship of the county. and no earthly reason
can be assigned for the suicide, If he
met his death that way.
The funeral and interment Will occur
Tomorrow at II o'clock in the George
battle-ground. in the west end of the
county.

Steele left here early Thursday morn
ing telling her that he was going to
Danville, Va, to secure work on a rail-
| way construction contract. He told other
friends that he was going to Atlanta,
ca. and others to Florida. There IL
no doubt. however, among his friends
here that the wrecker Of the bank has
been living here for the past three
months.
Evidently, reverses in business, con-
tinued illness of his wife and ten-year-
old son, involving him in debt, and the
fact that he was out of work. drove I'm
to his desperate act.
It was learned tonight that for, at least
two years Steele had been engaged in
experiments with explosives, and espe-
cially tho effect of electric batteries. In
exploding them. He stated to friend
when his wife went to hospital recently,
suffering from pneumonia, while his son
was there with typhoid fever. that he
should not be surprised at anything he

Steele worked as foreman here for two

Tho last seen or heard OF him here was
when he left his homo at 2:30 o'clock
Thursday morning.
Mrs. Steele stated tonight that she was
from Grand Rapids. Mich, and that the
other wife in ChicnGo had been divorced
by her husband prior to her marriage
with him.
From what can be learned from neigh
bors, Mrs. Steele has evidently been ex-
pecting something similar to what has
occurred, as she has frequently talked
to them OF what she would do 'if any
thing would happen
Tonight Mrs. Steele stated that she
had onlyla few dollars, and owed money
in the city. She has had absolutely no
word from Philadelphia further than she
has seen in print.
Itgis said tonight that Steele contem-
plated attempting demand on one Of
tho local banks, similar to the one he
made In Philadelphia, and that he dropped
a hint only short time ago that he
would do so.
This story only came out to-day, and
there may be no foundation for It, There
arc number of mysterious things sur
rounding the movements of the man in
I.ynchburg and the local police are maxi
ing an investigation tonight, complaint
having been made to the authorities by
