and ways and means are moving about
various propositions like men on a
chockorboard.
The requests for appropriations arc
heavier than usual at this session, and
some OF the heaviest appear the most
meritorious.

House committee ON approximations of

COBB COUNTY NAN
KILLED HEAR ATLANTA
Will Seals Shot TO Death By
T. F. Gilstrap. Killing
Was Justihable.

Win Seals, a bachelor of 45years who
lived near Marietta ON the Powder
Springs road was shot to death by T. F.
Gilstrap, carpenter who lived near
atlanta. Seals leaves his aged mother
unprovided for and she will probably be
sent to the county almshouse. Gilstrap
was exonerated on the ground of justi-
fable homicide as Seals had broken up
the home and was seeking to elope
with Mrs. Gilstrap.
Gilstrap's little son went to where
his father was at work in Atlanta and
told him that Seals and Mrs. Gilstrap
had gone into the woods together. Gil
strap found them and shot Seals five
times, killing him instantly. The cor
oners jury held that the killing was
justifable and released Gilstrap.
