HOBBlNS SAYS LEBEAU
KILLED YOAKUMS

Sheriff O'Connell went to Fortine Sat-
urday to look into the details of the story
told by Joseph Hobbins in connection
with the Yoakum tragedy, in which
father and son were killed.
Hobbins was taken into custody in
Whitefish last week by Marshal VIM.
Parent, after having made the statement
here that he had witnessed the shooting,
and that it had been done by man
named Fred Lebeau, with whom he had
been walking along the track.
Hobbins claims that Lubeau went to
the house to demand something to eat
and says that before leaving him to go
to the house he had stated that he
would either get something to eat or
somebody would die; that after arriving
at the cabin Lebeau talked with the
Yoakums for a short time, and then
pulled his revolver and began shooting
at the two men. It is thought that the
younger Yoakum, after being MORALLY
wounded, shot himself in the head.
Marshal VIM. Parent, who is familiar
with the case, is confident that Hobbins
is telling the truth of the matter, and
that the circumstances were about rs he
has described them.
Fred LeBeau was brought down from
Eureka Tuesday morning under arrest,
and he will he kept in the county Jail
until the officers can make through in
vestigation into his possible connection
with the death OF Riley and Frank Yoa-
KUN, near Fortine, says the Inter Lake.
La Beau denies any connection with
the killing, or any knowledge Of it. He
admits being with Hobbins as told by
the latter up to the time of reaching the
Yoakums', but said he left Hobbins to
go to hobo stopping place along the
track to clean his clothes. He did moi
see the Yoakum place, and was not there
Coming down on the train this morning
he pointed out to Baney the place h
went to. From there he says he went Il
Eureka, where he was arrested.
] While the officers are not convincst
! that La Beau killed the Yoakums, Their
are enough suspicious circumstances con
nected with the matter to justify then
in holding him for strict investigation

PROTEST AGAINST
THE PRICE OF GAS
Board of Trade Takes AC.
ton on Subject.

Protest against the price of gas was
entered by the Board of Trade last
night. The subject was brought up
by Mr.. Frank Sheffield. 1t was stated
that other cities had a lower gas rate
than Americus, and Mr.. Sheffield
thought an appeal should be made to
the Railroad Commission for relief
1t was stated that the present rate
was 81 per thousand feet Other speak
ers spoke along the same line 1t was
the sentiment of the speakers that
many small enterprises were kept
from Americus by the lack of a rate
for gas and electric power low enough
to enable them to thrive.
A motion was made and carried
that committee of three be appoint
ed to take charge of the matter, and
employ an attorney to carry the case
before the Railroad Commission. The
sum of $50 and expenses of the at
torney to Atlanta was appropriated
for the use of the committee Messrs.
l.. P. Gartner, G. c. Hawkins and c.
j. Clark were appointed.
The committee, however, was in
structed to await the return of Col
w. A. DOdsOn, vice-president of the
new company which is about to take
over the old light plants. If for any
reason there was hitch in the deal
the committee was instructed to then
go ahead with the protest to the
Commission.
on there was a hitch in the deal, the

FROM HAWAII TO
HOLLAND FOR BRIDE

Mobile, Ala, Aug. 11.-(SpeciaD
Wilhelm Cobins, a sugar chemist,
employed on one of the great planta-
tions, in the Hawaiian Islands, who
is on 12,000-mile journey to Hol-
land, where he is to wed a pretty
Flemish girl, passed through Mobile
today Mr. Cobins has been travelling
now for almost a month, and this
was his third stop. There is con-
siderable interest to the marriage of
Mr.. Cobins. He left his home in
the Netherlands eight years ago to
practice his profession Before the
starting out to make his fortune he
had won the heart of Flemish girl,
the daughter of a beet-sugar factory
proprietor
1t was agreed between them that
as soon as Mr.. Cobins was able he
would return and claim his fiance. 1t
was finally arranged that he should
return to Holland, where the mar
riage is to be performed. The young
Woman's father baked at the pros
pect of having his daughter go so
far away from Holland to make her
home and proposed that his future
son-in-law settle down in the mother
country.
Cobins did not care to lose a
chance to lose his fortune in Hawaii
and declined the offer of a lucrative
position with his prospective wife's
father. The father was finally won
over and consented to have his daugh-
ter make the long journey When
he returns to his home in Honolulu,
Cobins will have travelled $4,000
miles.

GOOD YEAR AHEAD FOR
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
Additional Appropriation
Will Aid Much.

Prof. j. M Collum, of the Agricul-
tural College, left last night for At

these vacancies.
While in Atlanta Pres. Collum will
attend the final days session of the
legislature. Unless the bill providing
that all the receipts from fertilizer
tags and pure food inspections go to
the agricultural colleges has already
passed, he will be of any assistance
he can in securing the favorable ac-
ton of the Senate on the measure.
The Third District School will
open on time,'' said Pres. Collum yes
terday I'VE have been much delayed
in getting out our catalogue, and
this has made our correspondence
work heavier Indications are that we
will have a good attendance. The
talk over the difficulties of the schools
has aroused doubt in the minds OF
some, who may have made Other
arrangements. At no time was
there any doubt about our school
opening. A year of splendid work is
before us. The additional money
which it seems certain we will get
will get will put the school in better
shape than before. Exceptional OPP
portunities will be offered students
the coming year Let all who expect
to attend send in their names at
once to insure a place"

tirely completed and ready for tests
of speed upon the part of fleet-foot-
ed steppers here. The half mile

ready but will require further roll
ing and hardening ere it is turned
over to the Association by the con-
tractors With the completion of
this fine racecourse Americus is
assured some fine trotting events

among local horses but many from
abroad, which owners have already
promised to exercise here. Fifteen
thousand feet of lumber will be re-

cuts in prices on shoes, the old
stand of ]. p Cato on Jackson street
was thronged with buyers through

waiting their turn all the while. Men

for the bargains and carried away
one or more pairs. One customer
bought $28 worth of shoes in a
lump In the afternoon the crowds
continued to pour into the store to
take advantage of the low prices ad-
vertised.
