The first intimation Mr.. 0ozier
had of Voght Dozier's marriage with
Essie Carter was in telegram from
newspaper received last Monday
stating that license had been pro-
cured and that Voght Dozier and Es'
sic Carter would be married Tues
day. In order to prevent the mar
riage Mr.. Dozier's son, j. G. Dozler,
who was on his brothers bond, for
misdemeanor charge, turned him
over to the officers and had him plac-
ed in Jail in the hope of preventing
the marriage. After it was learned
that Voght Dozier and the Garter
woman had already married Mr.. Do
zier determined to discharge the obli-
cations which rested upon him at the
time and has done so, and both he
and his family have announced pub
licly that they are compelled to dis
own the son who has given them so
much trouble.
Voght Dozier was 81 years of age
on October 22nd. He left on the
Central train, bound for Macon,
Thursday at 12:45 o'clock, a few
minutes after being released from
custody.

TRIED TO CARESS NURSE
SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY AT IN
VESTIGATON OF COL. WYNN.
Found Guilty of mtoXication at Sol

Toward Nurse Not Sustained.


diers' Home. Improper Conduct
Toward Nurse Not Sustained.
ATLANTA.-A number of wit
nesses testified before the board of
trustees of the Confederate Soldiers
Home Tuesday afternoon that T. A.
Winn. a trustee of the home, was
intoxicated on the night of Oct. l4th.
and that he attempted to caress Mrs.
Mackie Clare. the head nurse at the
institution.
The board is sitting at the order
of Governor Brown to investigate
charges against Colonel Winn, who
resides at Greensboro and was for
merly the Ninth district representa-
tive in congress. The charges were
preferred against the chairman Of the
board by Mrs. Clare.
The hearing of the testimony al
! ter a number of delays commenced
in the afternoon.
James 7. Ford, veteran and
clerk in the office, said that he heard
Colonel Winn, on the night of Octo-
Der IA. ask Mrs. Clare to give him
room in the hospital for the night.
He said that while talking to the
head nurse Colonel VIM held her
hand for two or three minutes. Colo
mel Winn had been drinking, he said,
and was talking very loud. After
Mrs. Winn left him to go to the nos
pital Colonel Winn followed her, the
witness said.
Had to Be Put to Bed.
Colonel Saussy, he said, went over
to the hospital and brought Colonel
VIM back to the office, where he sat
in a chair until Lieutenant Miller
took him upstairs to bed. Ford said
that he told Mrs. Clare that night
that Colonel Winn seemed to be
drunk.
Nicholas Overbey, another veteran,
andl the next witness, declared that
Colonel VIM was the drunkest man
that he had ever seen.
"If / had been that drunk" he
said. they would have locked me
in the calabOOse."
Found Guilty of Drunkenness.
By a vote of five to three the trus-
tees of the Soldiers Home sustained
the charges Of intoxication against
Colonel VIM. but declined to sus-
tain the charge OF improper conduct
towards Mrs. Clare by a reverse vote
OF five to three.
These charges will be submitted
TO the governor, but it is said that
he has no authority TO remove a
member from the board, even if he
deemed the sustained charges sufil-
Gent
The statement printed here that
Major VIM is an appointee Of Gov
ernor Brown is an error. When Gov
ernor Brown made up the board be
did not reappoint Colonel VIM, out
while Governor Smith was serving
his last term a vacancy occurred by
death and Governor Smith named
Colonel Winn for the vacancy

THE LYRIC THEATRE.

There is a reason for boosting spec. ial features, and sometimes they pay out as the press notices read, and sometimes they don't There is one stellar attraction in the city, though that proved the truth of advance ex. ploitation, and that is the celebrated Cowboy Minstrel Quartette, for they hadn't rendered more than one or two numbers before all who heard them realized that here, at last, was a sing ing feature out of the ordinary and where class and harmony and all that makes for distinction and worth of T feature of this kind, is concerned surpassed anything in this line the Lyric CT any other house has ever had. 1t is the greatest singing -four" ever in the city. Their act is present ed in picturesque manner and they are in class by themselves.
 The pictures today, together with the Cowboy Harmony Kings, consti- ute a fine program. Of the former there are A Daughters Sacrifice a Kalem Drama; "The Curio Hunters, ? m extraordinarily unique feature from the Vitagraph players and great Christmas educational feature from the Golden Gate state, entitled Wood and Christmas in California" Be sure and see the pictures and make spec al effort to hear the Cowboy Mins- rel Quartette.

THE LYcEuM THEATRE.

Do you believe in hypotism? Are YOU 'leery' of fakirs? Do you give any thought to men who claim that
 hey can do the supernatural?
 If so, or if you are subjected to at tacks of nerves" you had better re- main away from the Lyeeum today, for there is a thrill of thrills, due those who see The Vengeance of a Fakir." the most sensational two-reel special that the Eclair company ever sent to this eontry. and they are not ed for their remarkable specials of this kind. This story is laid on the thought of ill-treatment that was giv- en a well known European Takir No one believed that the could do unnat- ural things. No one believed that he had communion with spirits in other and darker worlds, but he showed them that his powers were marvellous, and all who treated him with scorn. who laughed at him, ridiculed and or dered him to be gone-well, he made them pay dearly for such action.
 The Ranchman's Wooing,' is a delightful western romance that con tains enough love, daring, intrigue and bravery to satisfy those who de mand that, after many trials and tri- bulations, the hero and the leading lady embrace. marry and live happy ever after. The Lyceum has another big feature coming Thursday. Watch for it. for it is a winner.

peal strongly to the music loving show going people of the city.
 Milton Shuster, as Count Dinken- spiel. is the chief comedy character of the sketch, and he demonstrated to the audiences of yesterday that he is the king of all laugh getters. His stage appearance alone. throws the audience into an uproar and his work throughout is one continual laugh. Frank Kelly, as the French boniface, Joe. Lane, as the American doctor, Miss Grace Kneeland and Florence Cole are all splendid characters.
 As whole the people of this city are extremely fortunate to have such a high class attraction for the holiday season. The attendance for the open ing day indicates that every house will be packed during the stay of this big musical combination and pa irons should not overlook the ad- vance reservation of seats.

The Kelly-Schuster Big Gaity Com. hination in their musical comedy 'frisky France,' arrived at the Prin- cess yesterday and made the biggest hit of the season. playing to the larg- est Monday matinee of the present season and to capacity houses last evening.
 This big company has fulfilled ey- cry advance promise of excellence and while "Frisky France" is billed as a musical tabloid, it is nearer the or der of big musical comedy than any thing seen hero this season.

 A feature of the show, and one on which the management has built sue cess, is it's cleanliness. While the comedy is of the most uproarous char acter and the songs are all new and catchy, there is not even semblance of the vulgar or coarse The music running through the whole piece is the tuneful and enduring kind and the entire offering is one that will ap-
