THE CA NTRELLS MEET DEATH.
Gainesville Men Speak to Crowd Just
Before Trap is Sprung.

GAINESVILLE, Ga, July 31.-Jim
and Barlow Cantrell were hung here
THIS morning for the murder Of Ar
thur hawkins, a prominent planter
OF near this place, April a year ago
They were unshaken until the last
and plead with their mother and
their friends not to worry.
The younger boy said that he
would like to be hung first, and the
request was granted
The mother and sister Of the boys
were admitted to the jail at 1890
O'Clock and were permitted to remain
until just before the execution. AT
ll.3O O'Clock the younger boy was
hung. The body remained on the
gallows for Is minutes after the trig-
ger was sprung. After the body
was taken from the trap jim Can
trell, the oldest brother and acces-
sorry before the fact, was brought
from his cell. He spoke for about
80 minutes to the crowd awaiting
outside the CELL dealing at length
upon the way they should live and
expressing the hope that he would
meet all in better land. 1t was 20
minutes from the drop until the phy-
sicians pronounced him dead.
The most pathetic scene was that
OF removing the mother and the sis
ters OF the boys just before the exc
cution, 1t taking three men each for
the mother and the two sisters to get
them from the Jail.
The boys walked to the gallows
without emotion and until the trap
was sprung under each there was alb
solutely no fear shown.

Owing to the possible presence Of

the Germans are taking every pre-

IL is understood in Paris that the
Germans are finding great difficulty in

spite OF their splendid organization.
On the other hand, the allies are en-
countering no such trouble, their rear

TROOP TRAIN FALLS
DOWN EMBANKMENT

London, Sept. IA Cape Town dis
patch to Reuters Telegram Company
says that troop rrain, loaded with 600
soldiers on their way to the coast for
shipment TO Europe, was derailed on a
sharp curve overlooking the Hex River
Valley, in Cape Colony. The locOmO-
tive and ten coaches plunged over a
twenty-foot embankment and six men
were killed and twenty seriously in
jurcd.
The accident probably was due to the
undermining of the tracks by heavy
rains.
Except for the fact that the train
was proceeding slowly, owing TO he
steep grade, the mortality would have
been enormous.
The railroad company is making the
utmost efforts to dear away the wreck
age as ten other trainloads of troops
are being held up by the wreck which
destroyed the tracks for great dis
lance.
