CHARGED WITH TRYING
TO ASSASSINATE

VALDOSTA, Ga, Jan. S0-NeWs comes
from Madison. Fla, OF the arrest Of a
young man named DONNA Webb, who Is
accused of trying to assassinate his
brother-in-law, William T. Holt, well
known farmer. The attempted assassina-
ton occurred last November, when a bull
let was fired into Hollis house, striking
Mrs Holt. who had her baby in her arms
at the time.
Efforts were made to apprehend Webb,
but they were not successful at the time.
A short time ago a young man reached
that section. claiming TO be from tho
north and bent on hunting. He mingled
freely with the people and became quite
"chummy' with Webb. A few nights ago
this young man, whose name was Young,
went to Hollis house in company with
Webb Young called Mr.. Holt TO the
door and Holt answered the call. but did
not come out. At this juncture Deputy
Sheriff Horton stepped up and arrested
Webb and Young. Webb had his revolver
drawn and was ready to shoot Holt when
he opened the door
Both of the young men were carried to
Madison and were landed in Jail. 1t then
tive who had been employed by Holt TO
work up the case. He had Joined Webb
in his mission to Hollis house TO re-enact
the tragedy OF last November. The Of
fcers were notified of the visit and were
on hand to take Webb in charge.
It is said that there is other strong evil
dence that Webb is the man who made
the attempt in November.

DOG ADOPTS KITTEN
AFTER LOSING PUPPIES

COLUMBUS, Ga, Jan. 3O.-President
Roosevelt may class. it as a nature fake
story. and the author Of it may be placed
in the Ananias club. but a story comes
from Marvyn, Russell county, Ala, which
is much out of the ordinary. 1t is to the
effect that a female dog. which recently
lost all Of her puppies. has adopted. as Il
were, a small kitten as her very own.
The story was brought to Columbus by
well known travelling man, whose repu-
tation for veracity is well known. He
states that the dog shows great animal
affection for the kitten, and that she has
constituted herself as its guardian.
An illustration of the solicitude of the
dog for the safety of the kitten was given
a day or two go when the kitten was on
counter in store walking along near
the edge thereof. The dog seeing It.,
jumped up and carefully took the kitten
In her mouth and gently placed it on the
floor.
The dog nurses the kitten as II ii
were her own offspring. and the kitten
appears to be devoted to its foster mother.

AGED Man WEEDS BoyhoOd Sweetheart

BAINBRIDGE, Ga. Jan. 30.--Judge r.
Bruce Kerr, IS years old, with his bride
of so years, arrived in this city yesterday
from Virginia, having been married al
Churchville, Va, on the 18th of this
month. There is quite little romance at
tached to this wedding, the elimination
of nearly half a century of true and de-
voted affection on the part of the now
happy wife. 1t was forty-three years ago
that she bade her soldier boy-fresh from
the ranks of the immortal Army Of
Northern Virginia-a long adieu. The
rest is a story of pure and unadulterated
love-love never failing. enduring and
ready to endure forever. Forty-three
years of patient tireless, waiting for the
love of her girlhood's sunny years-a love
that no ILLS of outrageous fortune" could
pale or diminish.
In those early days the ardent young
lover had burned the initials OF his
sweetheart on his arm and there they re-
main to this day After the death OF his
wife. which occurred four years ago. the
Judge in his loneliness remembered his
boyhood sweetheart and determined that
he would write her. This he did last
July, and he soon received the welcome
news that she was still single and had
not forgotten him. They soon became
engaged, although they had not seen each
other in forty-three years, and the first
of this month he started out to see his
early sweetheart, Miss Jerusha McPhee-
ters and bring her back to the city where
he has been living since 1866.
The happy pair will make their future
home in this city, where they are being
warmly welcomed by the many friends of
the bridegroom.

CHATHAM PAYS HER
NEAR-REER TAX

Chatham county has come acrosa"
Friday morning Comptroller General
Wright received a check for so. 200 from
Judge McAlpin. ordinary Of that county.
1t represented the taxes which 201 near
beer dealers have at length decided TO
pay the state.
The fact that the check was accompa-
MED by a letter requesting the comp
trolIer to forward another batch Of the
near beer tax blanks indicates that the
end Of the belated revenue is not yet
IN sight.
The payment of this tax is exceptionally
interesting for the reason that when a
requisition for 1t was made several
months ago on the Chatham authorities.
their reply was:
I'VE have no near-beer dealers here
This was an oracular answer from
which divers differences might be drawn
Some people thought it meant that what
in other counties was near-beer was
straight beer in Chatham. The comptroil-
er had waited patiently for Chathams
share of the tax created by the last leg
islature and then when he had finally in
quired as TO the delay the ordinary had
said there would be no taxes. because
there were no dealers.
This was a delicate situation. Every
body wondered what Savannah would do
If the enforcement OF the tax came TO a
pinch. About that time Solicitor Gen.
eral Hartridge came to Atlanta and had
a conference with Governor Smith. Just
what was said and agreed upon is not
definitely known.

Trained Pony Crushed by Elephant

KALDOSTA, Ca, Jan. 30.-There Is
something about Valdosta that puts bad
ideas in the heads of elephants. Several
years ago "Old Gypsy" the big elephant
with the Harris Nickel Plate show. ran
amuck here. killed her keeper, terrorized
the town and was later killed six miles
in the country by Chief Dampier, who
was accompanied on the chase by a
posse.
Two years ago, after being in winter
quarters here for two months, two of the
elephants of the Van Amberg show es-
capped and ran fifty miles through the
country, swimming rivers, knocking down
fences and terrorizing the people. They
remained at large nearly a week before
they were subdued.
Last night the Sparks shows reached
the city to remain in winter quarters I'M
til April. About the first thing that hap
pened after the show reached the city the
big elephant pounced upon one of the
trained ponies and crushed the life out
of 1t. The pony was valued at about $500
1t strolled too near the brute and its life
paid the forfeit The elephant knocked
it down with It's trunk and then kneeled
down on II, crushing its bones.
