Unidentified Band Creates
Small "Reign of Terror" in
Property-OeStroying RAM
page-No Arrests Made

Especial Dispatch to The JournaL)
QUITMAN, Ga. May 26.-Unidentified
persons created almost a reign of ter
Tor'' in Brooks county last night with
dynamite. Beginning in the extreme
northwestern portion of the county, fol-
lowing a course due east until the river
was reached, then turning south as far
as Blue Springs their trail was plainly
marked by dynamited cattle dipping
watts. The only inroads towards the
center of the county was made when
watts OF AIalloy Brothers at Foddie and
the vat of K. c. McRae in the same
neighborhood were destroyed.
The work began about IL o'clock and
was carried on quickly and apparently
under well organized auspices. Nj. Good
son, who lived in the immediate vicini-
ty of the vat destroyed at his place was
awakened at IL o'clock by the detona-
tions of exploding dynamite. Others re-
ported this morning that they had
heard explosions.
United States Supervising Inspector
W. Z. White was called at 1880 last
night He Immediately notified Sheriff
Wade and ]. II. Malloy, cairman of the
Wade and j. II. Malloy, chairman of the
bins of the federal government who was
in Valdosta. These officials went to
work at once and without sleep or rest
have continued their investigation dur
ing the day.
Sheriff Wade sent a man to Valdosta
for bloOdhounds but failed to secure
them. He sent back the second time
urging quick assistance. The dogs were
secured and brought here at daylight
and hurried to lone where a vat had
been dynamited on the Burgess place.
The dogs were not able to take up any
trail as many people had been at the
scene of destruction and obliterated all
tracks.
So far as the investigation had pro-
ceeded this morning Il was ascertain
ed that seven watts had been dynamit-
ed during the night. These watts are
located as follows: lone. Folsom. Blue
Springs, Golding. X. c. McRae, Patter-
son and Malloy Bros, at Fodie.
1t was evident that several sticks of
dynamite were used at each vat, the
opinion of the officers being that sew
eral sticks were tied together. The
watts are practically destroyed, the
sheds demolished and the charges they
contained ruined.
Practically all of the watts destroy
ed were built by private subscription.
They cost in the neighborhood of s75
each and the charge they held was
worth about s.. Before the raid there
were fifty-seven watts in operation in the
county and two more under construc-
tion. II is officially announced that
the destroyed watts will be rebuilt and

SAYS COWS WERE NOT
POISONED BY DIPPING
Owner of Valuable Herd That
Were Killed by Arsenic
Makes Explanation
Especial Dispatch TO TIE journal J


SANDERSVILLE, Ga, May 27.-Jefi
A Irwin, who recently lost nearly fifty
head of cattle at his dairy farm in Fast
Sandersville, requests The Journal to
forward the following statement for
publication:
"As it is apparent that an erroneous
impression has been created on account
of the loss of my cattle from arsenic
poisoning, desire to state to the people
of Georgia that the dipping vat had
nothing whatever to do with this loss
/ had my cattle dipped last August and
the arsenic which was left stored away
In some manner not positively known,
this arsenic was placed in the large
bin where cotton seed bulls were stored.
The hands employed in feeding the
cattle discovered a white substance
which they thought was lime, while
gathering the hulls to prepare for feed
ing. In this manner the arsenic was
unintentionally mixed with the feed.
I believe that cattle dipping is the
thing to do to keep the cattle free Of the
ticks and other insects and they will
keep healthier and yield more milk and
butter if dipped according to the meth
DDS pursued by the government officials
engaged In this work in various parts
of the state. More than a hundred head
of cattle were dipped in the same vat in
which my cattle were dipped and not one
of them has died or shown the least
symptoms of illness on this account.

until January /. MIR. Campbell will be

Rewards Are Offered for
Arrest of Vat OeStroYerS

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
QUITMAN, Ga, May 2S.-The county
is still greatly aroused over the dyna-
mite outrage of Thursday night, in
which seven dipping watts were destroy
ed. A large mass meeting was held
here this afternoon at which resolu-
tions were adopted denouncing the out
lawry and asking the county commits
siOners &c offer rewards for the ar
rest and conviction of the dynamiters
The commissioners met later and of
fered $500 for the first arrest and con-
viction and 500 each for all suisse
quent convictions. Governor Harris will
also be asked to offer a state reward
in the case.
The mass meeting endorsed the tick
eradication campaign and asked that ii
be continued and that each destroyed vat
be rebuilt at once.
Another sensation in the dipping vat
situation was sprung this afternoon
when IL became known that Arden and
Jeff Keel, two farmers, had been ar
rested by United States Marshal Thorn
as and taken to Valdosta.
They are charged with threatening
Federal Inspector White with a shot
gun while he went to see them about
dipping their cattle. Inspectors White
and Robbins went to Valdosta this aft
ernoon to appear against them.
The mass meeting and the arrest os
the Keels, will have a great influence
for order i'm the county. Ninety-five per
cent of the cattle owners are dipping
and the only objection made is that
it is inconvenient to dip on stated days.
1t is believed today, that very few per-
sons were concerned in the dynamiting
outrage Sheriff Wade is at work on the
case. and detectives also will be called

DESPERATE FIGHTING
STILL CONTINUES IN
VICINITY OF VERDUIV
Fort Douaumont Still Holly
Contested Territory With
Tide of Battle First One
Way and Then Another -
(By Associated P1esa.)

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Verdun and
the southern Tyrol remain the centers
of current military activity.
Before the French fortress the tide
of battle is flowing now with one COM
blatant and then with the other. On the
lAustro-Italian front the Austrians con-
tinue pushing their offensive vigorously,
although the Italian resistance appar-
antly is increasing in effectiveness.
Northwest of Verdun the territory
about Fort Douaumont is holly disputed
ground. The Germans are holding their
own in the terrain recently won there.
but their efforts to advance further
have been frustrated. In the Thiaumont
wood sector nearby, however, the crown
princes troops scored a gain southwark.
On the other bank of the Mouse, to
the northwest of Verdun, engagements
of probably equal intensity are in prog
Iress. In a vicious midnight attack
the French succeeded in forcing their
way into the village of Cumieres, which
the Germans captured last week, but
Berlin declares that the village was
soon cleared of the French forces, few
score of them falling into the hands of
the Germans.
Italian and Austrian accounts are at
variance concerning the campaign in the
Trentino. Rome admits a retirement
from an advanced position on the AStico
river, but claims that a sanguinary de-
feat was inflicted upon the Austrfans in
the Lagarrina valley and that they have
been held in check along all other sec
tors of the front. The Austrians, it is
pointed out in news dispatches, have
failed in their two weeks offensive to
attain their object of forcing their way
into the Arsa valley and so winning the
road to the Venetian provinces.
Vienna's official reports, however, an
nounce a sweeping success in the cap
ture of the entire mountain ridge from
|Cornocicampe Verde to Maata, and pro-
nounced successes over the Italians
north of Arsiero, where the crest of
Monte Cimone has been captured. The
taking of BatalO, in the upper Posyna
valley also is claimed.

CONSTITUTI0NALITY OF

ing Narcotics
nv Associated Press.

MACON, Ga, May 27-The constitu-
tionality of the Harrison narcotic law
is being tested in the United States dis
trict court here, arguments being sub
United before Judge Speer today by
counsel for Hugh McKervey, local
druggist, indicted for violation of the
act.
1t is contended by counsel that the
United States is attempting under the
guise of a revenue raising measure to
abrogate police powers within the state,
which, it is commended, it has no right
to do.
It was stated in court today that
there are 1880 cases growing out of
the Harrison law now pending in the
United States courts. The supreme
court has never passed on the constitu-
tionality of the law and in case the
demurrer in the local case is sustained,
all of the pending cases will be affected
by the ruling of the supreme court.
