IS HE THE BRUTE?
R. L. Potts Under Arrest at Chattanooga
May Be the Right One.
TURPENTINE TO ELUDE BLOODHOUNDS
Chief of Police Hill Thinks That the High
Mau Has Been Caught—Wou&eti to
Identify Him.
The search for the white brute who as
saulted the Heathcock women in the
Chickatu tnga National park continues.
- A man named R. L. Potts who has been
working as a laborer iu the park is under'
arrest at Cbattanoga.
Chief of Po’ice Hill is of the.opinion
he is the right party, and will not allow
him to be taken to Chickamauga, fearing
a lynching, says yesterday’s Chattanooga
Times.
“I hare notified the people at Chicka
mauga and will have the woman come to
Chattanooga and identify him. We are'
holding him on the charge of felonious
assault, committed a year ago. The case
will be continued for three days to give
her ample time to come here and identify
him if he is the man wanted. In this
event I will turn him over to the Geor
gia officers and let them take care of him.
My responsibility w’ll end then. We
will protect him while here.”
Yesterday morning over a hundred men
gathered at the Heathcock home to re
ceive any person that might be identified
by the old lady. It was reported that a
man had been arrested at Dalton and was
being taken to the scene. This caused a
great c.iowd to collect. When the Times
.cached the park with the information of
the arrest of Potts, whom the park people
had susuieioned, a great mob gathered.
They expected that Chief Hill would
have the prisoner taken to Georgia at
but were mistaken.
Another devekded yesterday.
Near the home of the Heathcocks a large
rag,' with a string around it, was found
saturated with turpentine, which would
kill the scent of a person fleeing from
blood hounds. This fact, coupled with
the experience of the man Potts with
blood hounds, made the belief of the
chief of police stronger that Potts was
the man wanted. Potts was at one time
an inmate of the workhouse, and guarded
prisoners as a trusty and was well up on
their efforts and the methods employed
by them in escaping from the guards.
•This turpentine scheme was one of them.
Engineer E. E. Betts, of the Chicka
mauga park, is of the opinion that Potts
is the wrong man, and that the correct
one will yet be arrested.
He said yesterday that several ideas
were being worked out, and that he ex
pected more developments in the case
soon.
Since the crime was committdd the
■ majority of the laborers employed at the
park in building the Ringgold road have
not reported for work, but are searching
for the assailant of the Heathcocks.
The Discovery Saved His Life.
.Mr. G. Gaillouette, druggist, Beav
ersville, ill., says: ‘‘To Dr. King’s
New Discovery I owe my life. Was
taken with la grippe and tried all the
physicians for miles about, but of no
avail, and was given up and told I
coaid not live. Having Dr. King’s
New Discovery in my store I sent for
a bottle and began its > use. and from
the first dose began to get better, and
after using three bottles was up and
about again. It is worth its weight in
gold. We won’t keep store or house
without it. ” Get a free trial at Curry-

engagement as an assure 1 fact. This,
despite the fact that no announcement
has been made by the parties most inter
ested.
The reported engagement of »uch well
known people naturally is a topic of tin -
usual interest and anything that seems to
point to a confirmation of the report is
eagerly seized on. Gen. Longstreet is 76
years of age, but retains all the vigor
of his .prime. He looks at least twenty
years younger than he really is and car
ries himself with the erect and sturdy
air of the veteran, Miss Dortch, who is
the assistant state librarian, is one of the
best known Wothen in the state, and is
now a candidate sot the position of state
librarian to succeed Capt. John Milledge.
In the event of her marriage to Gen.
Longstreet, it is probable that one of the
most formidable figures in the race for
that office will be removed. . '
While this gossip is going on, the gal
lant old general denies that an engage
ment exists or is contemplated. The quid
nuncs. however, seem to feel sure that
a match will be made, as older grooms
and younger brides have knelt at Hy
men’s altar.

William Lloyd Garrison.
William, Lloyd Garrison, a son of the
famous abolitionist, said of his father
in a recent lecture in Boston: “At home
Mr. Garrison was cheerful. His sense
of the ludicrous was very marked. He
was passionately fond of music and had
a habit of singing through the house.
Babies were a delight to him and would
be good with him when the mother
could not soothe them. He was very
fond of puns. When the servant failed,
he helped in the kitchen. When there
was sickness, he was a wonderful nurse.
At table he made the conversation gen
eral and drew out the most timid. ”

T FASHION ITEMS
Red organdy dresses are fashionable at
Summer resorts. A trimming of blsck
Chantilly lace variously disposed tempers
the glow of vivid color. Large floral de
vices in black Chantilly lace are applied
like medallions both in the skirts and bod
ices of these red gowns, the material being
cut away from beneath it, the lace seems
a part ofethe goods.
Heliotrope or green lawn transparencies
lend their hues to white mull or organdy
gowns: In a soleil skirt the color effect
is even more pronounced.
Veils with very small chenille dots on A
fine-meshed net are the fancy of the
moment.* The large dots have gone the
way of all extreme fashions.
Fine lineti crashes in tied effects are de
veloped for dressy wear. They are mounted
upon red, green or purple taffeta linings
and trimmed as fancifully as is liked.
With Norfolk and other tailor-made
basques having lapel collars, are worn
white pique put! sent ite,-which are univer
sally becoming.
Band bows for women’s wear are fas
tened in front. They have but one long
end, while these for men have two ends
and fasten at the back.
Not unlike beading in appearance is an
open-meshed canvas novelty in aj street
colors, known as ritjbou cloth. The lin
ing for such a material is usually of a con
tiastiug color.
The hat chosen to com'plete a toilette of
navy-blue canvas is an Amazon shaped
in a fancy blue braid. A band of stern
green ribbon veiled with blue Batavia cloth
surrounds the crown and at the left side
there are upright wired loops of the ribbon
covered also with the mesh. In front a
pair of rather broad green-and-blue wings
flanks a bunch of white blossoms. Mid
way on each side is placed another wing
and at the back is a second bunch of How
ers. A bow of ribbon falls on the hair.at
the left side.
Medallions of rather heavy point Venist
lace in cream-white are lot into gowns of
gray nun’s-vailmg or similar material,
usually in the bodice, especially if the lat
ter be made to suggest a blouse. „
Dancing gowns for young girls are often
made of a thin, gauzy silk crape in pale
