middle agd farmer Of Floyd, was

husband had been respondent for
several weeks but appeared to be in
better spirits at breakfast Tuesday
morning. After breakfast he went
about his regular chores around the
farm and about nine o'clock went
into the barn. AS he did not come
out again Mrs. Anderson became sus-
picious and called to him several
times. Getting no reply she sent
one of the children in the barn to
find him. In answer to scream by
the child she rushed into the barn to
find her husband hanging by rope
from a beam. She cut him down
herself but he was already dead.
Mr.. Anderson is one Of the best
known farmers in Cobb county and
his many friends throughout the

TRAIN MOVING At EX-
CESSIVE SPEED RATE
PETITIONER ALLEGED
Mother and Babe Killed by Fast
Dixie Limited" While Cross
ing Tracks at Dixie Avenue,
December s, 1923.

A petition was filed in the Clerk S
office of the Cobb county superior
court Tuesday by Joe M. Dobbins
and Joe M. Dobbins, Jr., against the
Western and Atlantic Railroad ask
ing for 100000 damages for the
death of Mrs. Dobbins and her small
child, Dorothy Louise.
1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Dobbins and child were killed while
crossing the tracks of the railroad
at Dixie avenue on the morning of
December 8, 1928. The tragedy
shocked the entire community.
The petition states that the train
was going at a speed of sixty miles
per hour when the accident occurred
while the city ordinance requires
the train to slow down to a speed of
ten miles per hour. The petition also
alleges that the railroad did not have
a Waterman at the crossing at the
time and that the engineer failed to
blow his warning whistle until after
ne had hit the victims.
Attorneys Fred Morris and J. T.
Foster represent the plaintiffs. The
case will not be heard during the
March term of court but it is likely
that it will come up at the next
