Got Mixed Up With an Automobile

Mr.. R. L. Saville, the popular
cashier of the Dawson National Bank,
was the object of much solicitude
on the part of his friends when he
appeared down town Monday morn
ing with his face resembling a war
map and carrying one of his arms in
splints. 1t was all the result of a
trip to Albany in an automobile Sun
day En- route the machine came to
a dead stop, and Mr.. Saville got out
to see if he couldn't coax it off again.
And he did-that is some of it. The
crank got mighty busy without Civ
ing even sudden notice, with the re-
suit to Mr.. Saville as above stated.

SNAKE EGGS ARE MATCHING.

Notwithstanding a decided aversion
to reptiles by most people, there were
callers at the Eagle office yesterday
DESTROYS of viewing the nest of snake
eggs in course of propagation, and
with scarcely an exception the sight
was something new and novel TO all.
Up to noon the only evidence of devel-
opment was a pip in each egg with an
occasional sight of a notified body, but
during the evening several little fell
lows about eight inches in length
emerged from their shells and squir-
med about the improvised incubator as
if anxious for a taste of that dainty
morsel from which the species derives
its name
Up to last night six of the eggs had
Matched and the remaining four were
well pippcd.

MURDERED AND THROWN TO THE
HOGS.
Young White Man Atrociously ksssssi.
mated at Mudville-Neero Under
Arrest.


Arrest
Charged with the murder OF Harry
Williams, young white man, in a
most atrocious manner, Felix Brown,
negro, was late last evening lodged
in the county Jail By Sheriff Nall and
Deputy Conlee.
The events leading up to Browns
arrest constitute one OF the most hor-
rible assassinations in the annals of
crime in this section; deliberate and
fiendish murder, and a disposition Of
the body unparalleled in its heartless-
ness and atrocity.
Early yesterday morning negro
stock tenders discovered a dead body,
partially devoured by hogs, in an en-
closure near the store of II. B. Steele
at Midwife, a small settlement ten
miles west of here on the /. & G. n.
railroad, and though badly mutilated
and torn, the remains we're positively
identified as Harry Williams, a young
white man employed by MIR. Steele.
Three bullet holes, two in the breast
and one in the back, told the story OF
his tragic death. The sheriff's depart
ment here was at once notified and
Sheriff Nall and his deputy, j. d. Con
lee at once repaired TO the scene of
the crime. An investigation deyel-
oped the fact that the dead man had
short time ago charged Brown with
the theft of corn from Mr.. Steele's
barn and that the negro had person
ally resented Williams accusation.
Thursday evening 1t is stated, the
young white man was in company with
Brown and another negro until late
hour, and after their separation, the
two negroes remaining together,
Brown asked his companion TO precede
him, when Steeles store was reached,
saying that he would ovcrtake him.
Shortly after Brown was left alone
three pistol shots rang out.
Very little is known of Williams.
He drifted into midwife during the
spring and readily secured employ
ment with Mr.. Steele. He continued
in his employ throughout the interval
up to his death and occupied room
over the store which overlooked the
lot where the body was found.
Dozier, the negro magistrate of that
precinct, held an inquest over the re-
mains and rendered verdict in accor-
dance with the facts. The wounds
were apparently inflicted with large
calibre revolver and either OF the three
would probably have been fatal
Brown, the negro under arrest, made
no effort to escape. He remained in
the settlement throughout the inyesti-
CATION and when apprehended endeav-
ored to cast suspicion on another
darby, offering no substantial evidence
however.
AS stated above, the murdered man
is practically unknown. Neither the
fact that he has living relatives, nor
their whereabouts could be learned,
and the remains were inferred at Mud |
Vile. Meantime every effort will be
made to communicate with possible
claimant Of the body.
