WILL FILE CLAIMS
Depositors in the Merciant? Bank Will
Stare io Division ot Assets.
IMPORTANT ORDER IS TAKEN
Creditors Will Be Allowed PerinlMion to
File Their Claims Against the Bank
With the Receivers.
Atlanta, Nov. 3.—The customers of
the Merchants’ bank were yesterday
given permission by the superior court
to file their claims against the bank
within ninety days with the receivers,
and will be allowed to participate in
the general assets of the bank when
the division ie made.
This important action will be pleas
ant information to the depositors, as
they have been undecided as to what
course to [ u -sue to secure their
money.
Among the list of depositors with
the bank are many carrying only a
small amount, and they did not know
whether it would become necessary to
employ counsel or not. The order of
the court which was handed down
yesterday morning by Judge Lump
kin decides the question, and it is only
necessary for the depositors to file
their claims in order to share in the
division of assets when the settlement
is effected under the order of the court.
The receivers will make a list of the
claims filed with them and will submit
a statement to Judge Lumpkin at the
expiration of ninety days allowed in
the order signed yesterday.
The order granted in the superior
court yesterday by Judge Lumpkin is
in full as follows:
“It is considered, ordered and ad
judged by the court that the deposi
tors of the Merchants’ Bank of At
lanta shall be permitted to file with
the receivers in this above stated case,
provided the same is done within the
next ninety days, all their claims as
depositors against said Merchants’
bank, and that at the end of said
ninety days said receivers report .to
this court an itemized statement of
said claims filed with them under this
said order.
“That in said report said receivers
shall show of the claims so filed with
them which are undisputed and which
are disputed claims, and to what ex
tent said disputes exist As to all of
said claims nbt disputed it shall not
be necessary for the owners thereof to
be made parties to the above stated
bill in order to participate in the dis
tribution of funds in the bands of said
receivers, but the mere filing of such
claims with the receivers shall entitle
the holders of said claims to partici
pase in the distribution of said funds
as fully and completely as if they had
been made formal parties.
“As to the claims about which there is
no dispute, the court will h'erereafter pass
such other and further order as may seem
best under circumstances.
“It is further ordered, considered and
adjudged that this order shall in no way
affect or interfere with the rights of said
parties claiming titles to or lines upon the
funds in the hands of said receivers, but
that their rights shall be saved and adju
dicated as if this said order had never been
taken.
“It is further considered, ordered and
adjudged that this order shall be in no
sense obligatory upon the general deposit
creditor may make himself a formal party
to said bill, or not, as he may see tit.”
A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Little Daughter nf Warren Dodd Killed
By an Engine.
Bessie, the two year-old daughter of
Mr. Warren Dodd, who lives near Tay
lorsville, was struck and killed by an
East and West railroad engine last
Friday morning about 11 o’clock.
This unfortunate and shocking acci
dent occurred at the Cunyus crossing,
about one mile east of Taylorsville.
Passenger train No. 1, west bound,
with Engineer James Payne at the
throttle, was the one that met with the
accident.
At this place the road curves. The
train was running at the rate of twenty
miles an hour. The engine was within
33 feet of the child when Engineer
Payne first saw it. The little one was
not then near enough the track to be
struck, but was on her kneescrawling
in that direction. The engineer imme-

diately reversed the engine and blew
for brakes, but it was too late to avert
the dreadful accident. The pilot struck
the child on the bead, knocking it on
the side of the track. The engine ran
100 yards before it could be stopped.
Mr. Robert Brooks, who' was on the
train, was the first one to get to the
child and picked it up. An ugly cut on
the left side of the head showed where
the little one had been struck. The
child was still alive and Mr. Brooks
carried her to Mr. Dodd’s home, about
200 yards distant, where she d.ed in
about 15 minutes. .»• *
Friday afternoon an inquest was held
over the remains by ’Squire John Dor
sey, who acted as coroner. The wit
nesses were Engineer Payne, Fireman
Thompson and Mr. Brooks. The evi
dence was substantially as given above.
The verdict rendered exculpated the
East and West railroad from any blame
of carelessness, as it was made plain
that the killing of the child could not
have been avoided by the engineer.
The child was buried at Euharlee Sat
urday.
Mr. and Mrs. Dodd were grief-stricken
over the unfortunate affair, and they
have the sympathy of all in their dis
tress.—Cartersville News.

A FOUL MURDER.
Tbe story of Maggie Mills’ Horrible Crime
Again.
Mangrum Richardson, Henrietta
Green, Maggie Mills and Mitchell
Cochran are in the Bartow county
jail on the charge of murder. Adam
and Sara Huse, also negroes, will be
incarcerated as soon as the officers can
bring them in.
The story of Maggie Mills’ crime
has been partially told in the Tribune
before.
The crime for which these negroes
are to answer is the mtirder of the
infant child of Henrietta Green, who
is the stepdaughter of Richardson.
The infant was brought by Rich
ardson and Henrietta about six weeks
■ago to the piney woods settlement,
near Taylorsville. It bad been born
out of wedlock and Richardson is
charged with being its father. To save
family trouble Richardson, who re
sides at Cedartown, brought the child
into this county, for the purpose, it
is alleged, to make way with it.
Richardson and Henrietta left the baby
at the home of Adam and Sara House,
promising to pay for its care. When
Richardson failed t> ke<p Li- promi e in
this regard the House woman wanted to
get rid of the child and offered to give it
away. Maggie Mills was persuaded to
take the child and give it away to anoth
er negro woman whom she had heard
wanted it or would take it. Failing to
get it off her hands the Mitchell woman
carried it to a swamp and placed on the
ground in a cavity in the end of a large
log and concealed it with a covering of
pine knots and leaves. It had evidently
been put in alive, or, if unconcious, had
regained consciousness, for the ground
on which it was lying was packed and
worn slick, as if the child had pulled
and jerked and exerted itself to get out
of its death’s bed.
The disappearance of the child cre
ated talk in the neighborhood. Mag
gie Mills was questioned as to what
she did with it and her reply was un
satisfactory. A warrant was sworn
out for her arrest and she was carried
to Rome and placed in jail on the
charge of kidnaping.
The section in which these events
taanspired was where the counties of
Bartow, Polk and Floyd corner. The
child was found in Bartow county af
ter having been hid away twelve or
thirteen days.
The affair soon reached the ears of
the officers at Cedartown, aud they
started in to make an investigation.
Deputy Sheriff Brumbelow, of that
county, went to Rome to see Maggie
Mills, who told him some things and
partly confessed her part in it. He
instituted search and last week the
body was found.
A great many witnesses were sworn
at the inquest. A warrant was issued
for Maggie Mills and she was carried,
from Rome to Taylorsville. Richard
son and Henrietta Green were
brought froqj Cedartown, and at the
request of the jury Dr. R. E. Adair
made a post mortem examination.
Maggie Mills’ testimony implicated
to some extent a young negro man,
Mitchell Cochran. She also said Sara
Huse counseled and bargained with
her to do away with the child. The
inquest lasted until last Thursday
night, and the jury returned a ver
dict finding Maggie Mills guilty of
murder and Mitchell Cochran acces
sory after the fact and placed her in
jail. Although tbe jury only impli
cated the Mills woman and Cochran
in ihe murder, warrants were sworn
out for the arrest of all who were in
anywise connected with the affair,
and all have been jailed except Adam
and Sara Huse, who wiil probably
be arrested soon.

OUR CARPET COLUMN!
Why is it that we can sell Carpets and
Smyrna Rugs at 50c. on the Dollar?
Eightyears ago the McKinley tariff on Carpets and Rugs gave a great stimulus
to these industries in States. Scores of new mills were erected, thousands
of new looms put in to manufacture Carpets and Rugs. The strong competition among
these mills; their increased facilities; their improvements in machinery and manufac
turing; then the Wilson bill, giving us free wool, have all combined to bring the price
down to a little more than half the price of a few years ago. Few people realize how
cheaply they can buy a floor coveting —we want every one to know it.
