WOMEN SCREAM FOR HELP
AS YOUNG SMITH PLUNGED
TO DEATH IN DEVILS JAIL

upon the giant water power plant being
constructed here at the falls. He came
from Gainesville two months ago and
his home was in Canton, Miss, where
his widowed mother now lives.
The three young ladies who Wit
messed his death were Miss Agnes and
Miss Lavilla Ward, sisters. OF Cave
Springs. Ga, and a relative of theirs,
Miss Ethel Ward, Of Washington, Ca.
They were just spending a few days at
Cliff House and the Sunday morning
stroll was the first time they had
climbed down to the falls. They hao
waited till Sunday for the trip down the
gorge in order that they might have the
company Of the three young men, who
knew the paths and We're sure-footcd.
The other young men were b. b. Hop
kins, also an engineer with the power
company, and Charles Dunbar. a roll
man in the civil engineering corps. Only
few feet away, but with no rope or
pole at hand, they were powerless TO
save their friend.
BODY NOT RECOVERED
All day Sunday a large force of men
dragged the river for the body of the
young man. Sticks of dynamite were
sent down Sunday, with waterproof
fuse. and when they were exploded down
in the depths, there was merely ripple
on the surface, while n an ordinary
pool the water would be thrown many
yards into the air. Dozens of the men
who are searching for the body, believe
that it is yet in Devils JAIL" while a
number of others believe it has gone on
down the river over the three other
falls.
MAY CUT OFF RIVER.
Monday morning there were so or IS
men at work dragging he river for the
young mans body, and if it is not found
soon, the waters of the Tallulah may
be cut off by closing the dam for a short
time, so that divers may venture into
Devils Jail" in search of the body.
The great 11O-foot dam is only half fin
ished, but if the bottom foodgate is
closed it will take two and a half hours
for the river to rise to the level of the
second fioodgate, and in that two and a
half hours the waterfalls would become
absolutely dry, and the treacherous
pools quiescent
Mr.. Smith was well known in Atlanta,
where he has relatives living at 25S
Capitol avenue, Miss Louise Katchins
and Mr.. Katchins, who is with the GeoI-
gia Power company. If the body is re-
covered, II will probably be taken to
Mississippi for interment at the ola
home.
