Gets Thirty Days for
Running Flying Jenny
It's Against the Law in Baxley to
Operate Merry Go Rounds
and Shooting Galleries.

BARLEY, GA. Feb. III. H. Beech
er, an old Confederate soldier, ar
raigned before Mayor Dave NJ. Parker
for violating a city ordinance prohibit
ing the running of merry -go-rounds in
this city, was fined 500 and costs or 80
days on the streets, and Gordon Clarke
was fined one-half this amount.
A month ago the city council passed
an ordinance forbidding the running Of
merry go rounds and shooting gal
leries in this city. Mr.. Beecher hav-
ing been refused permission to come
into the city with his amusements, aft
er consulting lawyers, decided to op-
crate in spite of the ordinance, on the
ground that he held q Confederate vet
erans license good In any city in the
state. A large crowd gathered at the
merry go o-round when the whistle blew.
Before round had been made Chief Of
Police u. j. Branch arrested Beecher
and Clarke.
Beecher threatens to start up again,
but the mayor has ordered the marshal
to arrest him and his crew if they un-
dertake TO operate. The defendants
have given notice through their attor
neys that they will fight the cases, and
a lively legal battle is expected, testing
both the city ordinance and veterans

After a short investigation of the

dition, county policemen reported to-
day that there was no collision in
which a mysterious touring car loaded
with joyriders figured.
The officers declared that George
Powell, who, with Berry, was driving a
small runabout into Buckhead from
Roswell, sent his machine into a bank
at the nine mile curve, and Berry was
thrown out on his head Powell, they
said, was uninjured
The policemen secuted the story that
PowelPs car was wrecked and that he

Powell said an automobile in which

by car full of Joy riders, who speeded
away. The county police asserted this
morning that only one automobile fig
ured in the crash and that was Powelrs,
which had evidently run into an en-
bankment
The victims say they were returning
from a hunting trip in Milton county
last night in Powelrs runabout. Just
as they approached the dangerous
curve in the Roswell road at nine-mile
post q big touring car, loaded with men
and women, swept into the curve from
the opposite direction.
The heavier car side-swiped Powelrs
runabout and the lighter machine was
tossed aside and overturned Both
Powell and Berry were pinned beneath
the machine
Berry was hurt fatally The heavy
automobile fell upon him. His skull
was fractured and q Ieg and arm were
broken. Powell was wedged between
the steering gear and the wind shield,
but fortunately escaped with minor
bruises
For so minutes after the accident the
two men lay in the road helpless, call
ing for aid. The car filed with joy
riders vanished down the road without
stopping Powell, who was conscious
and remembers every detail, said that
not one of the party gave as much as a
backward glance
Powell finally eXtricated himself from
the forward part Of the machine and
gave attention to Berry who had lapsed
into unconsciousness With the aid Of
County officer McCray, who arrived at
the scene Of the aCcident-a deserted

that central property does not bring a

they have no great influence behind
