BUS BROTHERS VICTIMS OF
HIGHWAYMAN'S BULLETS.
NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.

SHELLMAN, September Is
Especial to The News. There
are no new developments in the
killing of Henry and Herbert
Bus. There have been no ar
rests in the case except of two
negroes who were arrested and
taken before the coroner's jury
as witnesses. 1t was partly es-
tablished that George Thomas, a
negro who lived in the commu-
nifty, owned the pistol which was
found near the dead bodies. He
left during the day, and was last
seen Friday afternoon riding in
a wagon with another negro 60
ing south, presumably to rail-
road station.
Mr. John Bus, father of the
murdered young men, has offered
a reward of 5000 for the arrest
of the guilty parties. This may
be supplemented with other mon
ely at home, and the governor
will be requested to offer a re-
ward also.
1t is evident that more than
one person was connected with
the killing Whether the crime
was committed for robbery or re-
venge is not known. The Bus
boys were overbearing in their
treatment of negroes, and had
had a great deal of trouble with
them, which would naturally
have caused enmity On the
night of the tragedy, however,
they seemed to have been un-
armed.
They were both on the ground,
apparently, when shot, and both
fell in the ditch close together
The ditch is not more than five
or six feet from the middle of
the road.
There may be some interest
ing developments soon, for there
were doubtless other negroes
close around who know some
thing of the horrible tragedy.

woods was the first to discover the
bodies. He went back to the mill
then and told Mr.. Millirons and 9TH
ers about it, This was about sun-up.
Very Little Clue.
There is almost no clue to work
on in finding out who did the shoot
ing. Parties living near the mill say
they heard several shots fired in
quick succession. A 80 calibra pts
toll, with four hulls, was found by
the bodies. Parties who knew the
boys are positive that the pistol did
not belong to either of them; and it
was in following up clues as to the
real ownership of the pistol that two
or three negroes were arrested dur
ing the day.
ION Thursday, the 10th, Henry
Bus was in Shellman He sold
eight bales of cotton and a deposit
receipt found in his pocket the next
morning showed that he left 5000
at the National Bank. He went by
way Of Edwards store on his way
home. He was with MI Emmett
Fulton. When the young men were
near home they met Herbert Bus,
who was in his buggy and had started
! out to peddle some beef, Henry
Bus here left Mr.. Fulton and got
| In the buggy with his brother, saying
! that he would help him sell the beef
| The boys then went back towards Ed
wards store. They left the store
that night about o'clock to go
home. The killing occurred shortly
after. After the shooting the mule
they were driving went on and was
found at home the next morning
Robbery or Revenge.
Robbery is the most plausible
motive for the killing. Eighty
three cents was all the money found
on both the bodies. Herbert had
| so cents of this in the small watch
| pocket in his pants. Mr.. Joiner, the
clerk at Edwards store, says the
! boys had a lot of money when they
| left the store; he saw one with a
handful counting it, both silver and
! greenback. 1t also developed that
some negroes were in the store at
this time. Some of them Mr. Joiner
did not know, and these left about
the time the boys did. Another mo-
tive could possibly have been re-
yenge. The boys had had much
trouble with negroes in the commu-
nifty, and had incurred enmity.
They might have been waylaid by
grievous negroes, and the robbery
committed also.
THE boys were young, Henry be-
ing near 80 and Herbert 20 years
of age. Both were very stout young
men. They We're in good financial
shape, and their father has accumu.
lated considerable property.
THE funeral occurred in Shell
man cemetery Friday evening, the
two collins being placed in one large
: grave by the side Of their mothers.

FRANCHISE APPLIED FOR.

The Dawson Telephone TO-, whose

not appear.
The present telephone company,
the Georgia-Alabama, not only en-
Joys a free franchise, but charges the
city for phones used in the various
departments of the town government
and in the schools.
Tomorrow Thursday, the 17th.,)
is the day that was agreed on by
the Georgia-Alabama Telephone Co.
and representatives of the new tele-
phone company to arbitrate the mat
ter of charges by the old company.
If this is done it is very likely that
the new company will not put in an
exchange. The board of arbitration
will consist of seven men, but if
they had been selected Tuesday
morning The News could not obtain
the information.

When you have a cold you may be
sure that it has been caused indi-
rectly by constipation, and conse-
quently you must first of all take
something to move the bowels. This
is what has made Kennedy's Laxa-
tive Cough Syrup so successful and
so generally demanded. 1t does not
constipate like most of the old fash
toned cough cures, but on the other
hand it gently moves the bowels and
at the same time heals irritation and
allays inflammation of the throat.

 I'm glad of one thing" she told him. Tt is that I'm not jealous! Not in the least! Why, we've been en- gagged two days and I haven't even once asked you whether you ever thought you were in love with any other girls, Do you realize that?"
 Indeed I dol" said the young man, fervently. You're a wonder!"
 "H'm.' said the pretty girl. You talk as if you had been engaged a lot of times and knew all about it! As if I were an exception or something. Have you been engaged before, Clar- ence?"
 Why, Cecilia!" said the young man, in a grieved tone. What question! How can you think
 'Clarence," broke in the pretty girl, sitting up very straight and batting her hair with an air of indifference, don't try to deceive me! You have been engaged before and you are try ing to conceal it from me! I never should have thought it of you. I sup pose she tilted you and-and you are just consoling yourself with me and don't really l-l-love me a bit!"
 Now, Cecilia" said the young man, getting hold of one of her hands, don't be foolish It didn't amount to a thing! Why, I was in college and too young to know any better, and I sort of drifted into it and it was just a boy-and-girl affair. anyway"

 And you've remembered her all this time!" said the pretty girl, accus- ingly. Tiff thered been lot of girls you'd have forgotten them all. You'll never forget her, never! She'll be bright dream to you when I'm old and wrinkled and have to we-wear false hair! I can't stand it, Clarencei"
 Would you feel any better about it" asked the young man, with sud den inspiration, If there had been that is-if she wasn't the only one?"
 Tell me at once, Clarence," con- manded the pretty girl. drying her tears. "I want to know the worst!"
 T don't understand you at all. Ce- cilia." said the young man. At first you made a row because there was only one girl in my past and now you seem to object to there being more than one! l thought you felt there was safety in numbers,"
 Who was there besides Milly?" de manded the pretty girl, fiercely.
 The young man made a gesture of despair. There were Katherine and Louise and Marie and-oh, about dozen. You might just as well know, But l wasn't really in love with any of them. Not as l am with you-for keeps!"
 But l can never be sure." walled the pretty girl.
 Yes, you can," said the young man. with another inspiration. How abou the dozen or so fellows you've kept dangling after you till you met me? How about them?"
 The pretty girl meditated. then tossed her head. That's different" she said, hurriedly. It isn't the same thing at all, Now, begin and tell me about the girl who came next to Milly: You've got to tell me all about :hem!"
