CAPTAIN R. v. BOONE
HAS PASSED AWAY
President Of First National
Bank Died Last Friday
Morning.

Captain r. w. Boone, president of
the First National Bank of Marietta
and one of the city's foremost citizens,
died at his home on Kennesaw avenue
Friday morning at seven o'clock.
The news of Captain Boone's death
was a great shock to his friends and
to the people generally. He was uni
yersally popular, and had hosts of
warm personal friends among all
classesand all over the county. Gen
tie, courteous, kind, thoughtful and
O6liging, every one who came within
the range of his acquaintance was
drawn toward him by the ties of
strongest friendship.
Captain Boones illness extended
over several months, but it was not
known that his condition was serious
He went to Florida last winter and
remained until several weeks ago The
stay in Florida did not bring the re-
stored health for which his friends
had hoped, but it was not known until
a few days ago that his condition was
alarming. He, however, knew, and he
met the inevitable end AS one wraps
the drapery of his couch about him
and lies down to pleasant dreams"
Governor Joseph NJ. Brown was one
OF Captain Boone's closest friends The
Governor came up from Atlanta Sat
urday, and also attended the funeral
on Sunday, and was one of the pail
bearers. The death of Captain Boone
was to him a deep personal loss.
He was one of my intimate
friends said the Governor, "as close
to me as if we had been blood kin. He
had a regular engagement to take
Sunday supper with me, and we were
together a great deal. | never knew a
truer friend or a more thoughtful man.
| never knew one who seemed to look
out more for opportunities TO 0bIige
and to be of service. / have no doubt
that he has done more things to help
people in need than any other citizen
OF Marietta. He was a superb busi-
ness man, interested in every thing
constructive and contributing by his
means, by his advice and by his eX-
ample to everything that made for the
general up-building and the advance
OF the community His death is a great
blow to Marietta, and a deep sorrow
to his friends"
Captain Boone was a great-great-
grandson OF Daniel Boone, the Ken
lucky pioneer, and was very proud of
that fact. He was a native Of North
Carolina, and lived part of his life in
Hayward county.
He came to Marietta from Orlando,
Fla, in 1887, and was 50 impressed
with the city that he decided to make
it his home. He organized the First
National Bank and became its presi-
dent
His wisdom as fnancier was
shown by the fact that he foresaw the
panic Of 1907 and provided ample

Mayor and City Council with a beau

were white peonies bordered with
white carnations, in a tall crystal vase.
At each cover beside the place cards

discretion, to be used as boutonieres.
The dinner was elegantly served, be-
ginning with soup and continuing with
such q procession fried chicken,
boiled ham, creamed brains. potato
balls, green peas, hot rolls, pineapple
salad, white ice cream, with straw

our Mayor and council will become an
gelic; thanks to the housekeepers Of
Marietta.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
COMMITTED ON LADY
Mrs. Ralph Stephens Suffers
Injury at Hands of a
Strange Visitor.

The citizens in the eastern part of
Oregon district were stirred up Mon.
day night because of an aggravated
case OF assault and battery upon the
person OF the wife of Mr.. Ralph Steph-
ems, who lives about five miles from
Marietta, on the Dallas road.
About seven O'Clock that evening a
stranger, man apparently of foreign
birth, and giving his name as John
Wilson, appeared at the home of Mr..
stephens and asked permission to
spend the night, saying he wanted
only bed, and did not desire either
supper or breakfast He exhibited a
roll of money, and stated that he was
able and willing to pay for his lodg-
ing
Mr.. Stephens finally agreed to keep
him, and at eight o'clock the family
and their guest retired for the night.
Two hours later Mr.. Stephens was
awakened by the groans and struggles
OF his wife. Thinking it was a night
mare, he undertook to awake her,
when he discovered his visitor by the
side OF the bed, with both hands drawn
tightly around the neck of Mrs. Steph-
ems, making desperate efforts to stran-
gle her
Mr.. Stephens jumped to his feet at
once and succeeded in loosening the
mans hold on his wife's throat, and
held him until he could secure his
shotgun, a few feet away. This he
presented to the visitor, and held him
until his wife was able to go to the
home of the constable, Mr.. Jim Har-
dage, and return with the officer.
Mr.. Hardage placed the man under
arrest, and brought him that night to
the Cobb county jail, where he will re-
main until a cOmmittal trial can be
had, a warrant in the meantime hav-
ing been issued
The defendant is an utter stranger
in this section, claims Scotland as his
home, and says he has been in Atlanta
for three years. When asked if he
was hunting work, he would make no
reply, but when the officer inquired
what he was doing in that section of
country at the time, he readily answer
ed, That's my business
1t is certainly a strange case, and
one would naturally infer from the
conduct of the man that he is laborng
under some mental trouble. On the
other hand, it must be remembered
that all men, no matter what may be
the condition of their minds, do not
reason as philosophers.

Vote for William Mckinney
Why He Should Be Elected
Communicated.


No one win deny that William Nc
kinney has made Cobb county a good
sheriff. He has fearlessly discharged
the duties of the Office This being
true, it is only fair and right that he
should be elected again
Many good citizens who have the
interest of the county at heart claim
that Mckinney is the best sheriff this
county has ever had since the DAYS of
Pink stephens.
MI, Daniel, who is running as depu-
ty with Mr.. Mckinney, is one of the
best and most substantial citizens in
the southern part of the county, and
his friends claim that he will make
a good deputy, if elected.
MIR. kincad.
After MIR, Kincaid. who is opposing
Mckinney, had been defeated on an
other ticket. Mckinney took him as
his deputy and they were elected.
Recently Mr.. kincaid came out in
an open letter stating that there had
never been cross word between him
and Mr.. Mckinney during their as
ISOLATION as sheriff and deputy sheriff
He also stated that Mr. Mckinney was
as fair man as he had ever dealt
with-that he gave him one-half of
every penny that the Office paid. and
That Mckinney asked hirl to run with
him again as deputy, but that he de-
clined to do, deciding to form another
ticket.
Mr.. Mckinney stated that he went
IN office with Mr. Kincaid, and was
willing to run with him again, and to
be elected with him or go down in
defeat with him
Mr.. Kincaid's conduct alone in this
matter should defeat him.
There was no announced opposition
to Mckinney and Kincaid's reelection
at the time that Mr.. Kincaid withdrew,
and he is responsible for the fight that
is now on.
He will only get one-half of the pro
ceeds of the Office if he is elected with
the deputy he is running with now
he was already getting the same with
Mckinney.
After Mckinney had taken him on
his ticket with him, was elected with
him, stood up to him like brother,
never IN any was miStreatcd him,
gave him one-half of every cent the
Office paid, and Kincaid deserts him
without cause and formed a new ticket
shows a lack of appreciation of what
Mckinney has done for him. instigates
n fight for the Office where there was
none, and tries to defeat the unbroken
custom that if a man makes a good
officer he is entitled to an endorse
ment, making his fun term four years.
The right spirit on the part of Kin
caid would be the same spirit that was
manifested by Mckinney, that is, to go
down in defeat rather than desert a
true friend.
can you give a good reason why
you should vote for Kincaid in pref
erence to Mckinney?
M. Kincaid says that Mckinney is
a fair, honest, and honorable man
has he not been in a position for
the last two years to know?
Is it not right and fair and just that
Mckinney should be reelected, espec-
tally over his deputy that has deserted
him without cause?-Adv.

To Start Horticultural Society

For the past three years The Echo
has endeavored to convince the fruit
growers of this vicinity that the organi-
cation of branch horticultural society
would be beneficial to all who are en-
gagged in the fruit growing industry.
The discovery of what Prof. Tumble
pronounces canker in many of the or
chards in this vicinity and the ever
present possibility of the discovery OF
other causes that threaten to diminish
the profits of the fruit grower seems to
have the effect of driving them to-
gether for mutual protection. So that
the discovery OF canker may not prove
an unmixed evil.
The first part of this week petition
was circulated among the fruit growers
asking them to pledge themselves to
assist in the organization of horticul-
tural society. The date for the initial
meeting has not been fixed. 1t is sug-
gested that some of the members OF
the county organization assist.

TRAIN ROBBERS SENT TO U. S. PEN
W. W. Lowe and Geo. hibberiin formerl,
Worked in the Leavenworth Yards

Lowe and Hibberlin were recently
convicted in the United States court
at St. Louis for train robbery and sent
to the Leavenworth, Kansas, peniten-
tiary, Lowe for 43 years and Hibberlin
for IS years. The robbery for which
they were sent up occurred near st.
Louis some time last winter and the ar
rest of Lowe and Hibberlin followed
shortly after.
In 1908 Lowe worked as switchman
in the railroad yards at this place and
will be remembered by many of the
townspeople. During the latter part OF
the summer Lowe quit the service of the
company and with M. M. Wiley, tele-
graph operator, went into the realestate
business. For some reason the business
did not prosper and Lowe shortly after
disappeared and for time stayed around
Spokane. During the latter part OF 1908
and in the summer of 1909 the Great
Northern was robbed several times near
Hillyard. Those who remember read
ing in the daily press an account OF
these robberies will recall the fact that
a short and tall man was each time
mentioned by the trainmen as having
pulled off the robbery. Lowe and
Hibberlin answered this description.
Lowe is short and heavyset and Hibber-
lin is tall. Hibberlin was a brakeman
and was employed on the Cascade Di-
vision of the Great Northern about the
same time Lowe worked here.
Enough evidence has been obtained
to convince the authorities that Lowe
and Hibberlin were the men who did
one or both the Hillyard jobs.
Some other people who have in the
past made this their home and some
who reside here at present are con-
nected with what appears to be gang
of train robbers with wide ramifcations,
between the members Of which there
exists close connection. Detectives
are on their trail and hope to break up
the gang.

two engines were ruined by the blaze.
The loss is estimated at $4,000. Re-
building, it is stated, will begin at
once. The fire was discovered about
5 p. M, and despite hard work on the
part of railroad men and the fire de-
partment, the blaze spread quickly
through the oil-soaked building and it
was soon a mass of ruins. Engineer
Flemming was the hero Of the day.
He did his utmost to save the engines,
but was driven out by the intense
heat before he could get the machines
