Mangun Planned Home
For Family In The West

MACON, Feb. 16. - Letters from
Franc Mangum, former Macon news
paperman, to his little girl, Frances,
written few days before he under
went an operation that proved fatal,
conveyed the news that he had pur-
chased a pony for her and provided
home in New Mexico, in which she
would be contented while away from
her little Georgia playmates.
Frances is now ten years old and
had not seen her father for more
than year. She is making her home
with her grandmother, Mrs. Oscar
Chamber, on Forsyth street.
Mrs. Mangum returned from New
Mexico just after the Christmas holi-
days and planning to return there to
live, early in March, and she and her
little daughter awaited the time when
the family would be together again.
Then came the message telling of
MIR. Mangum's operation and of his
critical condition in Denver. Mrs.
Mangum fastened to Denver, but
whether she arrived before her hus.
bands death is not known here.
Mr.. Mangum will be buried in
Denver today. The funeral will be
in charge of the lodge of Elks, of
which he was a member.

sues FOR DEATH
OF JUDGE GUERRY
Widow Asks $25, 967
From Macon Coal
Concern

MACON, Feb. 16-Mrs. Fannie
Davenport Query, widow of Judge
DUPONT Query of the City court,
who was killed by truck on Septem-
Der II of last year, yesterday en-
tered suit in City court against the
Kinnett Coal and Ice company for
$25,967 damages for the death of
her husband.
The petition charges that the driv-
er of the truck was negligent at the
time of the accident and that he
should have been driving at a rate of
speed which would have enabled him
to stop the truck in time to prevent
the deceased from being run over.
Judge Query presided fin court on
the morning of his death and was re-
turning to the courthouse from din
ner when the truck struck him in
front of his Vineville avenue home.
He was taken to the Macon hospital,
where he died less than two hours
after the accident. The coroner's
jury which Investigated the accident
exonerated the truck driver from
blame.
Judge and Mrs. Query came to
Macon from Americas a number Of
