in heavy selling Of corn at prices about

ranged from y cent lower to \

II was a rough district given over to
rough men of rude, uncultured ways.
Outside OF the few towns where law

upon Nellie Virdin, the daughter Of

incidentally met wyckoff. Later he
had seized all kinds of pretenses to
appear In Macon and see Nellie. Then
he had watched her home. making sure
that she was alone in the house and
had almost alarmed her by appearing
at its porch one lovely September
evening.

'Waiti waiti I have something to
tell you" began Nellie quaveringly,
but the man was gone. For two days
and nights he wandered in the widest
depths of the mountain timber. When
he returned to his comrades he was
morose and captious and kept afiame
his mad emotions with the constant
use of liquor.
Gradually his confreres became
aware of the wretchedness that was
wearing down their leader. Mutterings
against Wade Burton, who was a
lawyer, who had prosecuted several
Of the band, intensified the insane
jealousy of Wyckoff. There came a
climax. One evening with six chosen
men he rode over to Macon, stationed
his men In ambush near the Virdin
home and stole towards 1t a few min
utes later. An agreed on signal, a
Row, peculiar whistle, reached the men
in covert. It advised them that Wade
Burton was on the premises and to
be ready to greet him when he came
down the woodland path.
