American Rugby football and base

Bradley was the only regular left

about the fastest man on the Teen

full of pepper, and could get about

manner that no other member OF the

persistency and physical endurance
kept him in the game at all stages,

KILLS WIFE,

Trenton Shocked by Deed
of Lyle Cole, Prominent
Young Man.

Trenton, Ga, Oct. 90. -TIenton
was shocked by murder ami sui
eide last night, when Lyle Cole shot
and killed his wife aud then commit
TED suicide. The tragedy took place
within mile of town at about 6 p.
IN. ut the home of James Sitton, The
woman's grandfather, The tragedy
was no doubt due to domestic troubles
as Cole and his wife had been separa-
ted for some time.
Cole and his wife, who was Miss Sit
ton, were natives of Trenton and
were sweethearts from early child
hood. Finally Miss Sitton left Tren-
ton and went to Chattanooga, where
she lived for several years. Later
Cole went to the Tennessee city and
Trey were married against the wishes
OF Coles family. They went to the
lock and dam soon after their mar
rage and it was only few months
when they separated, Mrs. Cole going
back to Trenton to live with her
grandfather, but she later went back
to Chattanooga and had only returned
to Trenton last Sunday. Cole saw
her and went yesterday afternoon to
the Sitton home, one mile from town,
and soon after the tragedy occurred.
He shot the woman thru the heart,
producing instant Heath and then
turned the weapon on himself, shoot
ing himself in the heart.
Cole was prominently connected
both in Trenton and Chattanooga He
was rotated to the Jacoway family,
several members of which are living
in G chattanooga.
