CORONER HALTED FUNERAL PARTY
To Hold Inquest Over Woman Whose
Death Occurred Under Mysteri-
0us Circumstances.

The Cuthb bert Leader says an in
quest was held near Cuthbert under
unusual circumstances. A funeral
party was halted in the road and the
coroner took charge of the corpse.
Eva Kimbrough, negro woman
living several miles north OF Cutn-
bert, died Tuesday. Before her
death she told relatives and others
that her illness was caused by blow
on the head with a shoe administered
by her husband. After her death
relative of the woman swore out
warrant charging him with murder
This necessitated a medical investi-
cation, so Coroner Herman impanel-
ed a jury and summoned doctors to
hold an autopsy.
The burial was to be at a grave
yard on the Gormley place and the
funeral party was halted in the road
by Sheriff Taylor, who placed Roe
Kimbrough under arrest. The ne
gro admitted that he and his wife
had little domestic unpleasantness,
but denied having injured her.
An examination of the woman's
body failed to disclose any bruise on
the head. DR.. Binion, who had been
called to see her during her illness,
thought her death was due to uraem-
ic poison.
The jury brought in verdict that
Eva Kimbrought died from natural
causes, and the funeral party resum-
ed its march to the graveyard.

MRS. REYNOLDS, IN BAD HEALTH
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, BE-
COMES DESPONDENT.

The current issue of the Shellman
Sun gives the following account OF
sad tragedy which occurred near
that place Thursday night:
yesterday morning our little town
was shocked when the news came
that Mrs. w. P. Gunnels, a former
resident of Shellman and who res1d-
ed four miles south of town, was
dead. She had been in declining
health for several months and grow
ing respondent threatened to end her
life Wednesday night. Members OF
the family made an effort to quiet
her mind along this line, and think
ing that she had been made to real
ize that this was not the right thing
to do they all went to sleep. Later
on in the night she was missed ana
fearing that she would attempt to
carry out her threat searching par
ty was formed, and she was traced 10
a point near the head of Millirons
pond. where her lifeless body was
found lying in water not more than
waist deep. She had removed some
of her clothing and tied it to tree
near the spot where she was found
evidently for the purpose of mark
ing the place so that the body could
be found. The grief-stricken hus-
band and children have the sympathy
of a large circle of friends.

Needy Americans

LONDON Aug, 7.-Among the 2.OOC
Americans who crowded the rooms OF the
American relief committee when IL opened
this morning were those who came over
from Havre on the American cruiser Ten
nessee. The remainder were GRIZZLY from
Flushing, Ostend and Rotterdam. and
were largely Americanized Germans who

Refugees from Germany say there Is
still a large number OF American citizens
In Germany who are unable TO get out
because OF the limited train facilities. A
large proportion OF the fugitives who are

absolutely penhiless. The crowd this

Use of Fresh Troops

LONDON, Sept. IA dispatch TO the
Evening Star from Rotterdam says thai
during the first nineteen days of the wal
more than 1900 trains bearing 1000, OOi
troops for the western theater of the wal
passed over the five bridges over the
Rhine at Cologne.
Notwithstanding this enormous army
achievements are still being hurried to
the front, not only to take the place OF
the huge number killed and wounded but
In order to carry out the eminently Ger
man plan that so far as possible fresh
troops be hurled at men who already have
borne the burden Of the day.
In addition to the tremendous siege guns
OF the Germans, ordinary field pieces have
been hurried forward.
An American who has just arrived from
Cologne says the Stars correspondent
states that he met a wounded German
officer. who told him that the success OF
the Germans was due entirely to the fact
that the troops had a rest after the en-.
gagament. The army corps were being
used in shifts to keep them fresh.

Welcome Russians.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Post in an article dealing with the
capture OF Lemberg and Haliez says;
THE establishment OF Russian author
ity in this region is being enormously
facilitated by the fact that the native
slav population. after long experience
with the tyrannical policy OF Germany in
time OF peace, welcomes the advent Of
the Russians. even under the stern con-
ditions OF war.
The Lemberg victory Is a signal tri-
umph for the daring strategy of the
Russian eommander-in-ehief and entirely
reconoiles the public to the severe cen
sorship which enabled him to carry out
protracted, operations over a vast terri
tory without the enemy getting a single
hint TO give them alarm.
Until the two Russian armies operat-
ing In a direction that met almost at

ton In the enemy's country they were

magnificent opportunity to a vigorous
enemy to get in between them and deal
with them separately and only extreme
secrecy could have justified this risk.

PARIS. Sept From official commu-

learned that the engagements which
began Saturday and Sunday to the east

veloped today into one of the most i'm
portant battles OF the campaign. The
armies of the allies are opposing the Ger
man advance over a front extending for
about 100 miles from NAuteuil lie Hau-
douin. twenty-five miles northeast OF
Paris, TO the great fortress of verdun,
miles west OF the German frontier
Number Not Generally known.
The number Of men engaged is not
generally known. The French troops
were strongly supported by the British
soldiers who passed through Paris several
days ago.
The position chosen by the allied forces
to give battle to the advancing invaders
is declared to be most favorable, having
near Its center the strongly enerenched
camp at Chalons Sur Marine.
The allies conducted their operations so
successfully that a portion OF the German
forces were forced to retire. The Ger
mans had reached the region around
Coulommiers and Leferte Gaucher,
respectively thirty and forty miles to
Paris. when the attachments covering the
flanks OF the main German army encoun-
tered advanced attachments OF the allies,
who drove them back.
The wounded began coming into Paris
this afternoon.
PARIS, Sept. 7.-Judging from reports
made public in Paris, German troops
covering the flanks Of the main German
army encountered advance detaehments
OF the allies in the fighting east of the

Gaucher, and were obliged to retire.

ruined church close to the Ger
man line and attended by single
German surgeon and two nurses.

LONDON, Aug. belief is
growing that a great, decisive bat
tie is being fought at volun, the
strong fortress of France on the
Mouse. near the French frontier.
II the fourth German army,
marching southwark, cuts off the
retreat of the French eastern
armies, which recently have been
holding the Germans in check be-
tween Toul, a fortified town four
teen miles west of Nancy, and Ep-
inal, also strongly fortified and near
the Alsace frontier, 1t might repeat
the coup which in 1870 drove Gen
eral Charles Denis Sauter Bourbaki
and his army of 10000 men into
Switzerland.
To Insure Retreat.
Hopeful critics are specializing on the
possibility that the German swing around
to the south may mean an effort on the
part of the invaders to make sure of their
retreat through the Meuse district, but
more likely II Is scheme to strike such
paralyzing blow TO the French army
as to render the investment of Paris a
safe operation
The southerly movement of the Ger
mans may effect junction Of tire crown
princes army and the army of Bavaria
which has been held on the defensive IN
Lorraine. Thus the Germans would ad-
vance from the east and north in a vas,
enveloplng movement destined to crush
the allies right wing by sheer weight OF
! numbers. just as their left was pushed
back during the last fortnight.
These preliminary movements. II show
ing nothing else. at least prove that the
Germans realize that the siege of Paris
even It's occupation, is quite, worthless
from strategic standpoint while the
allies are free in the field.
Deciding Conflict.
Confederation OF the above mentioned
theory is contained in a dispatch from
Berlin which describes a battle in a diff.
terent country between Verdun and RetheI
AS the deciding conflict as far as Francs
is concerned. The dispatch states that
THE opposing forces are almost equally
divided. but the French have the advan
tage, fighting from a defensive position
OF their own choosing.
Another significant factor is the genera
understanding that Emperor William ID
