TANGLED SKEIN OF MYSTERY
MURDER NEAR I.EARY Is BEING
SLOWLY UNRAVELED.
HudginS Admits Killing BarkSdaIe

Parties Who Are Implicated Begin
ming to Talk. Negro Says He Let
Hudgins Have Gun Shells, and
Later Helped To Hide Barksdale's
Body in a Well.
ALBANY, Ga.-The authorities
in Baker county are diligently fol-
lowing the threads of evidence,
many of them prosmising and 9TH
ers of seemingly small Importance,
in the sensational Barksdale muir
der case brought to light on the
Dildine place a few days ago.
Jesse Hudgins, charged by a cor
oners jury with the murder. is al
legged to have confessed that he
killed Barksdale, but claims that
the homicide was accidental. A
horrible wound in the side of the
Tampa merchants head had been
made by the full charge from
shotgun. In spite of the fact that
the body had lain in an abandoned
field we'll for a week it was prepared
for shipment to Tampa, the brother
and heartbroken father of Barksdale
leaving here with the remains.
After the discovery of the body
young Hudgins disappeared. The
officers set out in pursuit. and
in an automobile soon overlook
the fugitive. He was brought back
to the scene of the crime and later
is said to have confessed that he
had killed Barksdale
Claims That 1t Was Accidental.
He said it was an accident, that
he killed the man while they were
hunting. He could not explain why
he had used such precautions to con-
ceal the body He afterwards told
a newspaper correspondent that
when the proper time came he would
tell all eff they kill me-"
Much of the evidence against
young Hudgins is of the most damag
ing nature, though it is largely cir
cumstantial. He is said to have
made a statement to the effect that
he is going to tell the whole story
at the proper time, though thus far
he has, so far as can be learned,
told nothing further than that the
killing was the result of an acct
dent.
The negro Lewis says he met
Barksdale and Hudgins in a buggy.
going in the direction of Leary.
They stopped him, and Hudgins said
he was taking Barksdale to the
train. Hudgins purchased from the
negro four shot gun shells. The
negro shortly afterwards was sur
prised to see Hudgins returning in
the buggy alone. He remarked to
Hudgins that the trip to Leary and
return could not have been made in
SO short a time.
Il have not been to lie ry,' said
Hudgins
But what did you do with the
man you had?" queried the negro.
ooh, l left him up the road
ways" replied Hudgins. and com
ing up to the negro in a threaten
ing manner he said the man was
dead and one of the negro's shells
had done it. it is alleged.

attracting many visitors from other
nations. At this farm the eggs of
the ostrich are Matched in incu bators
and the young birds artificially
brooded. 1t is claimed that this
method is more profitable than when
the birds hatch and brood their
young themselves, the hens laying
double the number, or from % to
80 eggs a year. The ostrich chicks
after coming out of the shell are
allowed to remain in the incubators
about twenty-four hours until they
have become perfectly dry. They
are then transferred to the brood
ing house, this house being usually
about sixty feet long, of steel, con-
crete and hollow tile construction,
with the front of glass The en-
crete floor is covered with the best
quality of sand, in which the young
birds play, and is also we'll heated

About His Farm in Germany.
Elaborate Houses for the Birds.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,-For many
years ostrich raising in South Africa
has been one of the most produc-
tive industries in that far-away
country. So important is the industry
considered that fabulous prices are
paid for fancy pIuckings, and as
much as $4,000 at times for a single
bird for stock-raising purposes.
In South Africa ostrich raisers
are banded together for mutual bene-
fit much the same as horse breed
ers, cattle raisers and others are
engaged in the United States, and
already the most stringent of reg
ulations are being enforced to pro-
tect the industry. In Cape Colony,
where the birds are raised in bet
ter paying numbers than anywhere
else, neither their expectation nor
their eggs has been permitted for
several years on the ground that
such expectation would endanger her
supremacy in the feather market. In
the forty years since the ostrich has
been domesticated many changes
have occurred in the methods of
feeding, plucking and propagation.
Hagengeck Big Ostrich Man.
Carl Hagenbeck, the well known
circus man, is one of the largest
and most enthusiastic ostrich raiser
in Germany. He is located at SteIl-
ingen, near Hamburg, and his broad
acres where he is raising the fancy
feathered birds to sell in the markets
of the world at fabulous prices are

Elaborate Ostrich Houses.

This house, it must be understood,
is not cheap affair, but on the cor
trary is generally built along mod
ern lines and with a view entirely
to the comfort of the expensive
birds it must protect i.
Not only this but the young os
trichs are most particular regarding
their bills of fare and the greatest
care must be had to see that they
are not only coaxed to eat, but that
the very best quality of edibles is
placed before them. In their early
days i'll one section of the brood
house will be found patches of al
falfa or lugerne The Older birds
also must have the very best of at
tention. Their ration consists of
chopped hay mixed with chopped
corn, and finely crushed bone.
Much care must be exercised in
the clipping of the feathers, in order
that they may be taken withou.

not be injured in the process. When
the birds are about six months old
the first clipping takes place, and
this may be repeated at intervals of
