Mr.. ]. B. DELK BADLY
INJURED At HIS MILL
Caught in Skating And Was
Almost Killed On Last
Saturday Neon

Mr. ]. B. Delk, the miller on Whit
lock Avenue, who is famous for his
excellent meal, had a very narrow es-
cape from horrible death last Sat-
urday just before the noon hour. He
went into the engine room to put a
belt on pulley and as he reached up
a set screw in the pulley caught il
his clothing and he was whirlci
around the shaft several times.
About the first time around his foot
struck the gas generator on the en-
CINE and knocked it away causing
the engine to stop. The slackening
speed of the shaft allowed Mr.. Delk
to fall and saved him from being
beaten to a pulp.
Three ribs were broken, one foot
badly crushed and he is paralyzed in
his legs. This may be only tempo
rary but it is not yet determined
whether he will ever be able to use
his legs again.
Wednesday he was resting very
easy. He is 81 years of age,

the other half. The bitter feeling
between Fite and Whitaker was said
to have arisen over the failure of the
Bank of Kennesaw several years ago
in which Fite lost much money and
of which Whitaker was cashier.
This feeling of bitterness increas-
ed when Fite was made receiver, and
several criminal proceeding followed.
The house was occupied at the
time of the shooting by Mrs. Whita-
ker and her children and a lady
friend, Whitaker having gone to At

p A. Fite, of Kennesaw, Ca, was
convicted Saturday afternoon in the
criminal division of Cobb Superior
Court of shooting into the home of
" P. Whitaker, of Kennesaw, il
the early part of January of this
year.
This was the second trial of Mr..
Ffte on this charge, the first result
ing in a mistrial at the last term of
court. The case went on trial Fri
day morning and was bitterly con-
tested from the start by the attor-
news for the defense. Much test;-
mony was introduced by both sides.
The prosecution depending chiefly
on the work of the prize blood
hounds of Deputy Sheriff Geo. Hicks
who followed trail from the home
of Whitaker to the home of Fite sew
eraI hours after the shooting took
place and the alleged threatening
remarks of Fite against Whitaker.
The defense argued an alibi and
charged that it was a conspiracy
against Fite. The children of Fite
were used as witnesses to prove the
defenses contention of an alibi, but
the damaging testimony of the dogs,
alleged threats made by Fite, togeth-
er with Fite's gun showing that it
had recently been discharged and
the finding of shells in Fite's office
to match those that had been fired
at the house, overwhelmed the con-
tentiOn of the defense in the sigh
of the Jury.
There was a great deal of inter
est attached to the trial because of
the prominence of parties connect
ed with it and at times the feeling
ran high on both sides. Practically
every citizen of Kennesaw was call
ed as witness, the State claiming
about half of them and the defense

CITY PARK IS NOW ASSURED BUT WHEN
 IS HARD QUESTION
Council in Special Session Asks
 For Property Known as Old Cemetery for Public Park-Pro- vide for Removal of ali Bodies.

Ultimately Bisbee will have city park. This was made plain last night when the city council. in special ses- sion. passed a resoSution proposed by Alderman Poland. asking the townsite trustee to turn over the old cemetery, just off Brewery Gulch, to the city of Bisbee for public park purposes. The actual conveyance of the property from the trustees hands to the city of Bisbee will take place as soon as the necessary papers can be made out
 In the resolution adopted by the city council provision was made for the removal of all the bodies now in the old cemetery to a new resting place in Evergreen The resolution was passed unanimously, with one | absent councilman Vance Johnson.
 The discussion over the report of the committee, appointed last week on the matter was long and at times. grew a trihe acrimonious. The council seemed divided as to the best course to pursue in going about the matter of securing a city park
 It was the absolute opinion oi every alderman present that the city park idea was unfeasible unless tho property now hanking the cemetery on the Brewery Avenue side coult be included in the park site. Seyera of the members of the council ever refused to go forward with the ide' unless 1t could be assured that th' property under consideration, woul' be included before any permanen improvements should be made.
 It developed in the report made t' the council, that the prices made fo the sale of the property to the cit was approximately twice that a ', which the same property is nov assessed at.

 The Russian official report just is- sued apparently is preparing the pub lie mind for the news by referring to the difficulty of defending Warsaw, which gives to the Russian front an abnormal contour and forecasts re- forming the line.
 Details of these mighty battles are yet 10 be written and the general fact that there is fearful slaughter and intense suffering from cold com prlses about the total information re- ceiyed.
 The Germans claim they are pur suing the Russians to the south and southeast of Lodz. Several Ameri can correspondents were with the Bi9sian army when the bajle broke but uothing has been heard from them for several days Evidently they are under the ban of a strici censorship
 British military experts insist three quarters of the best material in tho German army has been held in tho western theatre of war throughou the campaign and that the troop which opposed theRussians consis principally of second line organiza tions.
