TWO BROXTON
MEN ARRESTED.
Cheating And Swindling Is
Charged,

What is said to be Il practice
that wholesale dealers throughout
Georgia need, particularly at
present, to be warned against is
charged TO NJ. Spivey and I. J.
McGovern, retail merchants of
BrOxtoh, who were arrested and
brought before Justice of the
Peace Kipgsberry Friday morning
charged by the NJ. c. Kiser COM
pany, of Atlanta, with cheating
and swindling. The two men
were bound over by Judge Kings
berry to the city criminal court Of
Atlanta under q bond of 81, 0G0
each.
According to their prosecutors,
Spivey and McGoyem, who do
business under the firm name of
Spivey & McGovern, filed with
the NJ. c. Kiser company last
August a written statement as to
their a sets and liabilities, on tie
strength Of which they secured
credit to the amount of 500.
When the Jill fell due and the
company sent to Droxton to collect
it, their agent found, it is alleged
that the real estate which Spivcy
& McGovern had claimed to own
had transferred some time before
they had made their written
statement. 1t was also discovered
according to the charges that
Spivey & McGovern owed twice IS
much as they had represented.
On these allegations a warrant
for the arrest of both members OF
the Broxton firm was sworn out
before Justice Kingsberry last
Monday, and on Friday Officer
Kilpatric reached Atlanta with
his prisoners.
1t is said that the practice Of
misrepresenting their assets and
liabilities is growing common
among a certain class of merchants
and for that reason the kiscr
company intends to prosecute the
case in the interest Of their own
and other peoples business.

New additions rapidly came into
the organization which sometimes
met in the tent, again in an old
corncrib and then in Benson's real

they worshiped in building on
the second floor, on what is now
Grant street and where the new
stone building occupied by the

stands, The original building hay
ing burned down. Early in the

Double Accident on Log Train.

Monday forenoon Charles and Leslie
Deshner, brothers residing at Mayburg,
and both married, were severely hurt
while earring logs to the lumber mill at
Mayburg. Charles is the engineer of the
train and Leslie is the conductor. The
train had gone down to Bear creek and at
least one car had been loaded, and the two
men were out attending to the switching
while the fireman was attending the ell
gine. The method of loading the cars is
to put on partial load, building it wider
at the top and in sort of trough-like
shape; over these then the binder chains
are secured and more logs are rolled upon
the top of the load and act as a "binder"
to the chains. The top logs are not fas-
tened or bound. In coming down short
grade one of these loose logs rolled off
and struck Charles Deshner knocking
him down. His brother jumped to his
relief instantly, and at that moment
second log rolled off and caught Leslie's
left leg between the rail and the end of
the log, crushing the foot and ankle into
pulp, making his injuries much worse
than those of his brother Charles, whose
hurts consist of a badly bruised shoulder
and limbs, but who sustained no bone
fractures.
Both men were taken to Kellettville on
the engine and given temporary relief
and afterward were taken to their homes
at Mayburg. Charles was getting along
we'll at last accounts under the care of
Drs. Detar and Serrill, who fear, how
ever, that Leslie's injuries are of such a
nature that amputation of the leg above
