Jim Boyd Shot by City Marshall.

Much excitement was caused about
seven O'Clock last Tuesday evening by
the report that James Boyd had been
shot and fatally wounded by the city
marshal. With the following facts
there is no dispute. Boyd came home
from Oalmar in an intoxicated con-
dition and raised disturbance in
Mrs. Gibbey's place OF business when
he was arrested by the marshal from
whom he broke away and ran east
along Market street. when the mar
shall fired at him twice. The marshal
left and returned with Z. B. Woodland
and found Boyd near the Arlington
house barn. armed with pitch-fork.
Here the stories differ. Some claim
that Boyd made an onslaught on the
marshal with the fork and the mar
shall fired in elf-defense. Others
aver that while Boyd had pitchfork
he was retreating from the marshal
but threatening with the fork. Several
shots were fred at Boyd, with Brown
and Woodland shooting, two bullets
taking effect. one bullet striking him
in the elbow and the other striking
him in the groin and passing clear
through the body. fortunately passing
through no vital parts ensuing re-
covery unless gangrene ensues. After
being shot Boyd made his way to the
residence of Mrs. Beveridge where he
now remains. -Cresco P. ID.

Ing. several people in this vicinity for
money. Smiths method of operation
was to approach an attorney and pre-
sent bogus will purporting to be
from some distant state and represent
himself as being the person named as
beneficiary. In the case for which he
was arrested he had relatives whom
he had convinced that everything was
all right and who identified him as
being the person named in the will.
He also had affidavits of witnesses
living in this vicinity. He asked the
attorney to go to the bank and help
him to get an advancement on the
will. and produced letter from the
executor named in the will saying
that il he had papers showing that he
had carried out certain provisions of
the will, $1,000 would be advanced.

chosen victim. but suspicioning that
something was wrong, he began to in

confederate in Omaha and that he had
just recently completed q sentence in

he had been held for forgery. 1t was

THE BUSINESS LEAGUE MAKES A HIT.
A County Farm.

A county farm to support the convicts and
experiment farm in connection with it sounds good
to u.s.
We are glad the Business League has taken
the matter up and we trust that the county COM
missoners will work it out in time for the cOnvicts
to make crop by next fall.
1t is the logical and sensible thing to do The
State makes money on it's farm, Mississippi makes
money on it's state farm, several northern and
western states are making profit their county
convict farms aud it is the most plausible thing for
the counties of Georgia to take up this method OF
keeping their convicts.
Indeed, we believe that, unless some such plan
is adopted, the new convict system will be bur-
den and eventually failure, for the counties are
not going to maintain large number OF convlcts
at great expense any longer than they can get their
roads straightend out and graded and we want
the people to know right now that straight grad
ed road in this country, while great Improvement
on the present roads, is not good road by great
sight A good road in this country means road
that is clayed much of the way in such manner
as that it will be neither Doggy in wet weather nor
sandy in dry weather. And another point-good
roads today are not good roads tomorrow. They,
like machinery, need constant care and Keeping,
and if any map supposes that once we get good
roads, he is nightly mistaken. True, we believe
that if the people have good roads, they will
never go back to bad roads, but we might as well
recognize in the beginning that these roads will
need constant care forever and day. And to give
them such care as will be necessary to keep them
in good condition with ever increasing use, will re-
quire body of men always going up and down the
county making repairs, building new lines, cutting
drains and doing other things to keep them good.
With large force OF. convicts, there will al
ways be some women, boys and disabled persons
not strong enough to do heavy work. These can
be employed to advantage on the farm. And this
farm can be made to produce not only whaG the
convicts eat and what the stock belonging tc the
county eats, but much of the produce that The
ammunity now sends thousands of dollars away for
at might be raised on this farm At least, the
Experimental feature might demonstrate to our peo-
pie that such things be raised here with profit
and the expert employed to manage it would be re.
auired to teach our people how to raise such pro-
uete.
SFe congTatulate the Business League in its
