Anniston, June 26.-(SpeciaL)- )-The dead body of James J. Bolt was found lying beside the Southern tracks in the lower part of the city at Il o'clock Tuesday night, and the indications are to jump from an eastbound freight train and was instantly killed.
 Bolt, whose home is in Oxanna, was employed as a brakeman between An niston and Rome. He came in from his run at noon yesterday, but did not go home. quart bottle containing T small amount of corn whisky was found beside his body.
 The body of the dead man was dis covered shortly after II o'clock by jitney driver, who reported the case to Officers Wade and Rutledge. The officers went to the scene and carried the body to the undertaking parlors of the Murphy Smith company on Noble street.
 Bolts neck was broken, long gash had been cut across the top of his head, and his body was crushed through the chest. An injury to his right elbow and the marks on his head and face, coupled with the gash on his head, led the officers to believe that Bolt fell from train on lower crossing. strlk- ing his head against the end of cross tie. His body was lying several feet away from the track.
 Bolt moved to Anniston from Heflin several years ago, and had been work ing for the Southern for the past lew months. He is survived by his wife and one child He was the son-in-law of Mir. and Mrs. Al Summers, and the sup position is that he meant to go there in search of his wife when he was killed at the crossing.
 Funeral arrangements have not been made but the body will probably be sent to Heflin for interment

Camp Trout

HIEDGESVILLE, Aug. 20.-Quite a
large number of visitors were in camp
last night, although very few were
here on Sunday, because of inclemency
of the weather. Tonight the smaller
boys are feasting on peanuts and hav-
ing a corn roast, while number of
the older boys are attending a party
at Mt. Clifton, Hedgesville, given by
The Camp Fire Girls who broke camp
today.
Thursday afternoon we break camp
after fifteen very enjoyable days.
The time has passed very quickly and
a number of boys are asking for an
other week at camp, but this is inn
possible, although several of the larg-
er boys may stay to finish the cabin
which was delayed by lack of ma
terial and the Camp Fire Girls de-
handing too much attention of the
scouts.
Gus Wiltshire arrived in camp Sun
day afternoon and his brother 'T4ick-
ey'' returned to assist his papa in
picking apples.
Quite a number of the campers
visited Martinsburg frequently during
our camp period for various reasons
and excuses, yet bunch of the lads
kept gamely to the camp for the en-
tire time and are still here and are
declaring they will stay on the job
until the last minute and be "true
blue" scouts.
We trust some of our friends who
hap auto trucks will give US lift
with our camp outfit on Thursday
morning or early afternoon.
This will be our last report from
THE camp and we take this opportuni-
ty to thank all those who contributed
in any manner to make our camp a
success. We feel that the camp has
been great benefit to the boys and
will be an occasion long remember
ed. lit has been strenuous job for the
scoutmaster, because of the failure of
promised help, yet lit is great salts
faction to feel that we have been
equal to the task. The exhibition drill
at FUSS lawn and the fact that we
have had from thirty to forty boys
in camp with as many different dis
positions, and are bringing them
through without casualty, shows
that we have been alert and busy.
That's ALL SAM.
