AN ATTEMPTED JAIL
DELIVERY N|PPED
IN THE BUD
THE Best Laid Plans Of
Mice And Men Aft
Gang Awry"

On last Monday morning at about
A o'clock the night police noticed
someone up in the Jail and reported
the matter to Sheriff Swanson, who
Immediately made an investigation.
He found that four of the prison
ers, namely: George Long, Fred Har-
per, Jim Franklin, and John r. Banks
had obtained a hack saw by some
means, and had already succeeded in
cutting one of the bars and started on
another.
When they found that they had
been discovered they tried to con-
ceal the hack saw and covered the
cuts on the bars with wax.
The Sheriff, however, took charge
of the saw and made search which
revealed the cut bar. He will see
that further restrictions are put a.
round this quartette, and no further
such operations go on.

course is free and it is expected that
quite number will take advantage
of it.
Mrs. Sawyer is anxious to get

SALUTE LIEUTENANT
BOLAN BRUMBY, JR.

Bolan G. Brumby, Jr,, is now wear
ing the uniform of Lieutenant. He
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. B. G.
Brumby, of Marietta, and although
a very young man, he has earned this
honor.
He went into the Army as volun-
teer private, went to Mexico with the
boys, and was then sent to Camp
Wheeler, where although still a pri-
vate, he was used as a drillmaster,
on account of his ability.
Then came the selection of a linn
tied number of the boys to go to an
officers training camp in Texas, and
by all rights Bolan was one of the
men. He earned his commission. but
still it was not given him, he was
made a sergeant and sent back to
Camp Wheeler, where he uncomplain-
ingly took up his former duties for
a time.
But now he has been rewarded with
a commission, and is a full fledged
Second Lieutenant, and has been as
signed to duty at Fort Pike, Arkan-
sas, where he went on Sunday, last,
after a brief visit to the home folks.
Having earned his rank by his own
patriotic faithfulness and ability, he
will wear his uniform to the honor
and credit of his state and country.

"THE BLUE BIRD"

Mr.. Marchman has secured for the
Strand for next Thursday, Maeter-
linck's. "The Blue Bird" which is one
of the most wonderful productions Of
the film world.
The art of photography gives to
this film the latest discoveries and
makes it seem supernatural in the
highest degree.
Science and art combine in the
realization of this great spectacular
production, and it will bring to you
both wonder and amazement.
It was the effort of a master mind,
taking months to complete, and that
at an enormous expenditure.
1t is very justly considered the
masterpiece of the famous Belgian
philosopher, and well worth seeing.

THE. SHERIFF HAS A
SKELETON kI!E:.L|.EI D To Be
DISPOSED Of
Bones Found Last March
In Lemons District Are
Yet A Mystery

A mystery is still unsolved, in the
Lemon District of Cobb county, and
what is. more, it.may never be solved
now, although the saying that "mur-
der will out" may yet come true here.
And yet there is even some doubt as
to whether it was murder.
About the first of last March, one
Sam Sanders, a negro man, passing
through the woods on the Nickajack
Creek, beyond the Southern Railway
tracks, found the skeleton of human
being, the bones scattered and bleach
ed in the sun. No clothing was about
but not very far away was bundle
of woman's clothing, which had rot
ted and mildewed so with exposure
as to be almost in shreds.
These were reported to Sheriff
Swanson who has since been at work
on the case. He first found that
about three miles away lived Charles
N. McMickens, whose daughter, about
20 years of age, had disappeared from
her home last September and had not
been heard from since.
This clue put the officers on the
trail to find some connection between
the skeleton and this missing girl,
but nothing could be learned, so it
was thought by all that this was the
girls skeleton. The skull had what
appeared to be fracture on one side.
The teeth were sound, no dental work
appearing but two or three of the
teeth had been pulled and the bone
had healed.
Physicians pronounced it to be ap-
parently the skull of a woman, and
the teeth would indicate that of a
young person.
Last week the girls father receiv-
ed a letter from her, and he at once
came by Marietta and went with
Sheriff Swanson to the home of Mr..
and Mrs Henry Powell, an old cou-
pie who live just beyond Roswell, and
found the girl.
The Powells say she came to them
at the time she disappeared from her
home, and gave an assumed name at
first, but later gave her true name
and asked not to be sent home. She
was employed by the Powells and ap-
peared to be satisfied.
This discovery still leaves a mys-
terry of the skeleton which Sheriff
Swanson has on his hands.
We are publishing the matter, al
though an old one, with much detail
in the hope that someone may see 1t
and give information leading to it's
clearing up.
Was it a murder? If so, when?
And who was the victim? And who
the murderer?
Several theories are entertained by
the officers but no distinct clues are
uncovered so far.

Outside the roar and crash of artil- lery fire, the position of a detach- ment of troops, attacked. by heavy rifle fire, is a hell of ear-splitting crashes of passing bullets and fiend- ish howls of those glancing from the ground short of the position. to say nothing of the crash of their wn rifles in the return fire.
 Three sounds were those that come to the ears of soldiers in modern fighting, when, artillery does not add it's uproar to the occasion.
 | The dull heavy reports from far to the rear, always coming some time after the high, crashing reports be- | gan, where the reports of the rifles themselves, the powder gases rush ing violently out into the air after the bullet
 The high, sharp, whip-like crashes were made by the bullets themselves in flight, and they are always pres l ent when high-sDeed bullets pass, save at the very long ranges.
 Never do modern rifle bullets howl, or hiss, or hum when they travel nor- maIly; that is, without striking an ob- ject on which they may glance. At the very long ranges, 1500 to 2000 yards, they may hum like bees as they pass, but the sound comes from the unsteady, staggering flight, and it is not audible tenth the distance | one can hear the crash of the bullet at normal fighting ranges.
 At 300 yards the sound of the bull let and the sound of the rifle are clearly distinguishab1e when but one
 or two shots are fired. At 400 yards the sound is still more plainly separ-
 ated, and 1t continues to separate
 until the range Of 80 yards or so is
 reached. Then the two sounds com
 mence to come more nearly tOgeth'
 CT, until at .1700 yards the crash ot the bullet and the far-off report ot
 the rifle again come as one-pro , vided the sound of the rifle can bt
 heard at all, which is doubtful.
 The crash is made by a vacuum , formed in the rear of the fast-fly ing bullet, and at any distance nor, than 100 yards it is far louder to thu person shot at than the noise of th rifle itself.
 : The soldier fired at and just miss
 eQ, at 0UO ydTuS, HedTS l"O uiSlllC sounds. Theoretically in type, they ar this: Pack punk" The first one o the pair is an earsplitting crash. I - is sharper even than the crack of well-handled whip, at the shor [ ranges; it is not unlike the crash 0 . a stone through Q heavy and wid
 piece of plate glass. The sound o the rifle, coming hard on the heel of the sound of the bullet, is dull = and heavy, and almost muffled. : As the range grows longer, tn [ bullet loses in volume of sound, grows less painful to the ear, bU still the clear, clean, sharp crash per sists. At 1000 yards the interval be = tween the two sounds is so notice able that one can speak after tn bullet passes before the report o the rifle arrives.
