tempt to Assassinate Former
Cashier Of the Institution.

The town Of Kennesaw, Ga, was
divided into two factions Wednesday,
with b. a. FIte, receiver for the Ken
nesaw Bank. in jail at Marietta, &C
cused of firing five shots into the
house Of W. P. Whitaker, formerly
cashier Of the bank, which failed
about two years ago.
The Grand Jury was in session al
Marietta. and the case was presented
at once The jury now is consider
ing it while Fite is held under a $500
bond
The trouble began with the failure
of the bank, in which F1te, VINO also
is station agent for the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis Rallroao'
was a large stockholder
Fite Heavy Loser.
Fife lost several thousand dollars
IN the failure. and was extremely bit
ter against Whitaker, who was ac-
cused by others as being responsible
for the smash In fact, he was In
dicted for ENLIGHTENMENT, but was &C
quilted.
Early Monday night two shots were
fred through a window of the Whit
aker home A minute later three
charges from a shotgun came crash
ing through the glass panel of the
front door, sweeping the length OF
the hall.
The plan appears to the local au-
thorities to have been murder, with
the idea that Whitaker, aroused by
the first two shots, naturally would
run into the hall to see what the
trouble was.
Whitaker Not at Home.
AS Il happened, Whitaker was in
Atlanta on business at the time of
the shooting His wife and two
small children, with Miss Jewel Hill
debrand. the daughter of a neighbor,
who had been asked to spend the
night with Mrs. Whitaker in her hus-
bands absence, were the only persons
3n the house.
The shooting aroused the neigh
bors, who investigated, but not be-
fore the person who did 1t had gotten
away Whitaker was reached by tel
ephone In Atlanta, and came through
the country in an automobile, reach
ing Kennesaw at l o'clock in the
morning.
Before that time, George M Hicks,
Deputy Sheriff, of Marietta, had OBJ
tanned bloodhounds belonging to DR.
Sidney Pace, of Smyrna, who fol-
lowed trail from the Whitaker homo
to that Of F'ite, who was in bed asleep
Arms Found in Fte's Home.
The Deputy Sheriff stated that a
shotgun which had been fired recent
ly was found in Fites house, with
shells which were duplicates Of the
empty ones on the ground near Whit
aker's house. A revolver and car
tridges and a loaded Winchester rife
also were found in F'ite's house. Fite
was taken to Marietta and locked up
in the Jail there at O'Clock Tuesday
morning.
Among the witnesses summoned
from Kennesaw to testify before the
Grand Jury was negro named Flynn
Miller, who said that on the day of
the shooting Fite had told him he in
tended to fix" Whitaker that night.
and tried TO get him to help.

Two Bemidji business men were
trimmed" to the extent of approx
mately 500 by two men claiming to
be employees of the International
Lumber company, New Years day,
the Golden Rule store and the Ma
10y saloon being the victims. A
check of $15.S5 was accepted at the
saloon, the balance being paid out
in clothing and cash at the Golden
Rule.
Not until late yesterday were the
police notified of the crime, and the
checks had been deposited at the
banks by the victims. Investiga-
ton soon proved that the men who
passed the checks, being drawn on
the International Lumber company,
has previously been employed by the
firm a2S had come to Bemidji to
spend the holidays.
Buy Clothes

forgers bought suit of clothes and

worthless checks in payment, receiv-
ing the balance in cash. +5s ~

Mr.. Maloy said that he felt soon
after the checks had been accepted
at his saloon that they were worth

the case soon after being informed

This is the second forgery which
has been pulled off in Bemidji dur

saloon having accepted worth
less $500 check, Christmas. The
check which was forged at that time
