MYSTERIOUSLY STRUCK DOWN
Mr.. Tip Watson Hit With Bottle
While at Seaboard Depot Wait
ing for Train.

Mr.. Tip Watson, a former citizen
of Terrell county, happened to Pc
culiar accident at the Seaboard depot
in Dawson Thursday at noon.
Mr.. Watson, who is now a resident
Of one of the lower counties and was
returning home after visit here,
had his wife and children with him
and was waiting for the 12;45 train.
He was walking up and down the
track opposite the freight room when
he was struck on the head by flying
beer bottle, which knocked him down
and rendered him unconscious for
awhile. He recovered sufficiently,
however, to take his train, and the
wound, it is hoped, will not result
seriously.
Neither Mr.. Watson nor any of the
others who were waiting at the de-
pot knew where the o0ttle came
from, and he thought at first that he
had been shot.
1t is presumed that some one not
seeing Mr.. Watson carelessly threw
the bottle through the door of the
freight room of the depot.

TIGER AND TIGRESS IN TOLLS
NEW POLICEMAN GOT BUSY HIS
FIRST DAY ON THE FORCE.
Homes of Clayton Aaron and Eliza

Franklin Raided and Quantities
of Bottled Joy Juice Found.
Policeman ]. R. Bridges signalized
his advent on the force by success
full tiger hunt the first day of his SER
vice.
His beat is in the northern part of
the city about the two depots and
vicinity. He kept an eye on places
in that section of the city that are
supposed to be the rendezvous of the
willy tiger, and late in the afternoon
decided the time was propitious to
capture a pair of the beasts" Ac-
cordingIy he called Chief of Police
Turner to his assistance, and soon
the plans of these two doughty hunt
erS were put in execution.
The residence of Clayton Aaron,
IN the outskirts of the city across
the Central railroad, was first raided
and "A half pints and 16 pints of
whiskey captured.
The home of Ben Franklin, in the
same vicinity, was then entered by
the officers and four crocus sacks full
OF whiskey, in pints, half pints and
4u0'A 10 u4oSONSISu. L mere were ABOUT
20 gallons of it in all Franklin was
not at home, but his wife, Eliza
FRANKLIN, was arrested.
Aaron and the Franklin woman
were arraigned before Mayor Pro
TEN Davidson Thursday morning on
the charge of violating a city ordi-
nance which prohibits the sale or
keeping of intoxicating liquors.
Aaron was discharged for the lack
of evidence that he had sold whiskey
and because of a state law which
permits man to keep at his home
whiskey not exceeding a certain
quantity.
The case against the Franklin wo-
man was continued until Friday
morning, when she was fined $50.
Aaron has long had the reputation
of running whiSkey joint, but has
always been fortunate enough to es-
cape the clutches of the law. Sew
eral years ago his place on The
Pike" was raided and 1000 bottles
of Whiskey found. His lucky star
did not desert him even then, as he
was not only not convicted but his
goods" were returned to him after
being locked in the city vault for
| sometime.

BODY OF DEAD BABY FOUND
CTTY'S SCAVENGER MAN SCOOP
ED 1T UP IN HIS SHOVEL.
Gruesome Discovery ShrOuded in
Mystery. COrOner's Jury Could
Find No Clue of ANY Kind.

Find No Clue of Any Kind.
Alma Ware, driver of the city's
scavenger cart, in making his rounds
Thursday morning was startled at
finding the body of a dead infant
under an clubhouse in the rear of a
restaurant owned by Jim Reddick,
the we'll known negro hackman, near
the Seaboard depot.
The dead child was scooped up in
Wares shovel, it having been covered
with ashes and other garbage.
Ware reported his gruesome find
at once to Mr.. F. M. jennings, who
lives near the depot, and an officer
was summoned to investigate the
matter.
Coroner M. H. Marshall was mott
fed and held an inquest, but there
was no evidence that threw any light
on the parentage of the child, and the
jury's verdict was that it came to it's
death from causes unknown. Owing
to the meagerness of the evidence it
was agreed to hold the case open,
and should there be any further de-
velopments the coroner will call his
jury together and resume the investi-
cation.
DR.. Gardner, the county physician,
said the child had been dead several
days. 1t was so badly decomposed
that it was impossible to tell wheth-
er it was white or mulatto child.
There appeared to be a stab on it's
body just above the heart, and the
skin had been eaten from the head
and face by the I've in the ashes un-
der which it was buried.
