plane came in contact with the
ground. This tore the frame Of the
machine, but Mr.. Wright was not
injured. ..-- "a. -.
Flight Lasted Two Minutes.
Mr.. Wright's second flight, which
lasted two minutes, was q novel one.
The aeroplane SCARED and descended
at viii, executing bewildering turns.
Suddenly, as viewed from the grand
stand, the machine lost its speed
and began curving slowly toward the
earth. All appeared to be going
well until 1t tilted to 1eeward and
the delicate frame work struck the
ground with the result that 1t was
and torn. 7
Mr.. Wright calmly stepped out ana
examined the wreck. He was quickly
surrounded by anxious friends to
whom he explained that there had
been no accident In the air. but that
he had merely decided to try q new
descent. He shut Oh the motor at
height Of IS feet and endeavorcd to
float downward.
PIanS Worked Badly. u
The real cause OF the accident was
the attempting to land ON the. ex.
act spot of his departures In Hitting
the planes at the last moment he

VIII Keep Little Sam Jones Sloan
Until Writ Is Heard.

CartersVille, Ga, Jan. 4.-Judge
Fite has ordered little Sam Jones
Sloan, the 3-year-old grandson of
the late Sam p. Jones, to be turned
over to its grandmother, Mrs. Sam
P. Jones until January IS, when the
writ Of habeas corpus taken out for
the possession Of the child by the
baby's mother, Mrs. Laura Sloan,
will be heard by him.
The affair has created q sensa-
tion here. Mrs. Sloan has been stay
Ing at the home of Mrs. Sam Jones
since the evangelist's death, and was
apparently on good terms with the
family, although he and his wife
were said to be estranged. He is
said to have told his wife that he
was going to a football game be-
tween Cartersville and Cedartown,
and would carry little Sam Jones
with him.
Later investigation was made and
it was found that he had obtained q
buggy from livery stable. He was
intercepted at Dallas, Ga, just as he
was attempting to board a train.
Parties Immediately left here for
AIR. Sloan and brought him and the
child to the city, but not until after
a brief legal skirmish at Dallas.
He was brought back on warrant
taken out by his wife for abduction
and Immediately upon his return
made bond of $500.
His wife took out habeas corpus
proceedings to obtain possession Of
the child.

BAD NEGRO ROBBER,
MurderOusly Assaults n Spartanburg
Merchant-Hatchet Does the Work.

Spartanburg, Jan. IA negro
robber at the money drawer and the
proprietor lying on the floor of a
back room in an unconscious co1di-
ton, with several hatchet wounds in
the head, was what Mrs. Cora Law
renee saw when she entered the store
Of B. F.. Henderson, on North Liberty
street last night, about s o'clock,
with her little boy. She spread the
alarm at once, but the robber made
his escape. Mr.. Henderson was taken
to the Good Samaritan Hospital,
where his wounds were dressed by
DIS. a. d. Cudd ana Fike. At mid
night he was considered in very
critical condition, his skull being
fractured in three places.
All that is known of the robbery
and assault is the story told by Mrs
Lawrence. She went to the store
about o'clo k to get Mr.. Henderson
to read letter for her. She carried
small boy along with her. To her
surprise she found a negro behind the
counter. He had the money drawer
out and was helping himself to the
loose silver. She asked the negro
where Mr.. Henderson was. He re-
piled that he had stepped out and left
him in charge till he came back. Mrs.
Lawrence then stated that she would
wait until he returned. The robber
replied that it was no use to do that,
because 1t might be some time before
Mr.. Henderson returned.
Mrs. Lawrence heard some one
struggling in the room in the rear
OF the store room. She looked back
and saw Mr.. Henderson lying on the
floor. She said that she would 20
back to him, and that all the powers
or heaven and earth could not keep
her from doing so. AS she passed
into the back room the negro hasten
ed out Of the front door. She found
Mr.. Henderson on the floor, writhing
In his own blood, with several hatchet
wounds In his head and the hatchet
lying near him. He was in an un-
conscious condition. She set up an
alarm, and 1t was not long before a
crowd gathered.
