To the negress and the darby chill
dren who gathered about the woman
could give no tangible story of VIII Al
had happened during the night that
had brought here there.
Il feel terrible" she cried.
Bruised, No Bones Broken.
A negro boy was sent to the home
of Eugene Youngblood, nearby, AMI
he was Weakened and requested ia
come to the scene. Youngblood hitch
ed up a team hurriedly and in the
meantime summoned a physician. The
woman was taken to his home where
she was found, upon examination b.
a physician, to be suffering from Sc
we're bruises about the body. No bones
were broken, however
The doctor was of the opinion that
she had been riding on train and had
fallen off, jumped off, or was thrown
off. That she had escaped death, he
thought, miraculous. Then the wo-
man was brought to this city, where
she is in a critical condition at a san
itarium.
The crew of the Atlanta, Birming-
ham and Atlantic began an investiga-
ton of the affair as soon as the report
of the case was noised about.
1t was found that a couple that
boarded the train at Atlanta, ticketed
through to Waycross, was missing
from a Pullman sleeper. The conduc-
tor reported that the man had left the
train at Abba, east of Cordele. The
woman is said to be the one who lies
here in dangerous condition
Both Doors Locked.
The train crew claims that both of
the doors to the coach that the coll
pie occupied were locked at Montezu-
ma and not opened until the train ar
rived in this city. When the coach
was re-opened, however, no one was
missing from the train.
Last night the woman became cons
cious at the hospital long enough %
tell a story of what she thinks oc,
CURED. She still maintains an air of
mystery and besides giving her name
as Mrs. w. X. Ellis, will not give her
place of residence. She denied at
first that anyone had been in her COM
pany on the train, but finally admitted
that she had been with her husband
and during the night became faint ana
stepped onto the platform. She doesn I
remember what happened after that
unless she fell from the platform.
Looking For the Man.
The train crew swearing that the
doors were locked at Montezuma ami
not opened until this city was reached
leads officials to believe that the
woman was either showed through =,
window by her companion, or else she
jumped through of her own accord
The railroad authorities are endeav.
oring to locate the man who figures in
the case, believing that he can throw
some light on the mystery.
Mrs. Ellis. as she styles herself,
seems quite respondent She denies,
however, that she attempted to end
her life.

Hot Springs Girls Meet Defeat at Lead City
Saturday.

SATURDAY.
Hot Springs Girls team came to the
olty heralded Saturday AS world beat
ers, team Which had not lost game
this season. and which had played q
number OF hard ones. The girls from
the spa certainly maintained their rep
utation, and for the entire game gave
the Lead girls all that they could do to
win. Fast and snappy playing charac
terlzed both halves of this game, and
at times it looked as tho the girls from
the Springs were going to win, but our
girls could always come back at them,
| and when the game was called i'm the
last half the score stood 12 for Lead
and 10 for Hot Springs, close enough
to satisfy the most enthusiastic fan.
for there WAS not minute it WAS being
but that something was doing.
After the game the Lead girls enter.
tanned the girls from the Springs in a
most pleasant manner, and the enjoy
ment of the social hour followed took
little of the sting of defeat from the
fast game of basket ball.
The Hot Springs girls returned to
their homes yesterday aftern o n,

received at the hands of the Lead girls,

sun parlore, billiard room for a d i 9 s
and one for gentlemen, private dining
rooms and grill. Plumbing, heating,
ventilating and lighting, the latter by
