D., PresUaat WAS KILLED ON FLINT RIVER Negroes Killed Animal After a Hard Fight FARMEltS FROM TH\T SECTION WHO VISITED COllDELE LAST WEEK TOLD OF THE OCCUR RENCE. (From Monday’s Dally.) Farmers coming to Cordele dur ing last week from the counties of Crisp and Dooly along the bank of the Flint river relate the following story of the exciting chase and final capture of a monster wild hog, which Is said to be the only one of a herd of its kind that has been playing havoc with the growing crops of their section: On last Saturday, near Murray’s Ferry on Flint river, one of the largest wild hogs ever captured in this state was killed after a batte which lasted several hours by a crowd of negroes, with dogs, shot guns, pistols, etc. Mr. Murray has had several corn evops almost ruined by this hog and is rejoicing over his capture. On last Friday night the big swine paid Mr. Murray’s field a visit and destroyed about ten bush els of corn. The negroes were noti fied of the visit and all armed with everything from a shotgun to a pitchfork, got together a pack of curs and started on the chase. With in a short while the bog was loca ted and then the battle waB on. One of the darkles got a shot on the left which only angered the boar, and he was then ready to fight. With a swing to the right among the dogs he proceeded to use his four-inch tusks to a deadly advan tage, cutting down every ptip reach. This stampeded the negroes causing them to climb trees, fences and anything that would put them out of danger. Whooping up the dogs and steadying themselves In the tops of the trees they turned loose a volley of fifteen shots, which wounded the hog to such an extent as to allow them to come down and finish the job with pitchforks and sticks. _ . . .. A team was secured and the mon ster hauled out, when he was found to be seven feet In length, thirty- three Inches high, with tushes four and one-half Inches long, and weighed 400 ounds. He is said to be 10 or 12 years old. After the battle was over and the smoke had cleared away the darkies b£gan to. arrange for a barbecue of thir large carcass, which was pull ed off with a “wild hog dance” and the greatest feast of the season. RY. Unusual Conditions *t MiccaHi.hU and Iamonla Lakes That this section of the country is still far behind in the matter of the usual supply of water i s shown by the fact that the two big lakes of Florida, Midcasukle and Iamonla, are both dry- Both lakes went dry last year and remained so for months, but Miccasukia lake filled up pretty well during the early part of this year and there was some duck shoot ing there last winter, though not what It usually Is. The water has been going out again lately and now there is almost none left except in the basin, which never goes entirely dry. The water has been falling for some time at the rate of ten feet a day and If It keeps on it will soon be low enough to show the famous Andrew Jackson rock upon which “Old Hickory” is said to have carved his initials while in Florida during the Indian war. Iamonla haB never filled up since the water went out more than a year ago and the whole vast basin of the lake Is entirely dry. It Is said to be a wonderfully-fine grazing place for cattle now as it is covered with a very luxuriant growth of grass. Though the waves of these lakes always have been very erratic and have chosen their own time for going and coming, nobody of the present generation can remember a time when the lakes were dry as long as they have been of late and It looks as though the underground streams from which they are supposed to draw hir supply must be decidedly short of water or the conditions In this section of the globe must have changed In some way.

Chancey, had a terrible fall from a bicycle late yesterday after noon while crossing the tracks of the Atlantic Coast Line on Patter- don street. He was riding a bicy cle and the chain broke, causing the wheel to become locked and throw ing him head foremost to the pave ment. He fell with terrific force against one of the rails of the side switch, hurting his head and be ing knocked senseless by the fall. Several parties saw the accident and Officer Walker ran to the lad, picked him up and carried him to a plat of grass where he was put down and efforts were made to re vive him. The boy’s head was bathed with cold water and In - tar i&inAfarbe r—ilind conscious ness, but was still suffering from the shock and from bruises. He was sent home on a laundry wagon iwhlch happened to be near by at the time. The little boy has a great many friends who hope that he will soon get all right.

Rube Arnold, of Atlanta, has brought suit against the Atlan tic Coast Line In the United States court In this city for $100,000 for Mrs. Zella Culpepper, whose hus band was killed In the railroad wreck on the Alapaha river trestle several months ago. It Is under stood that the case will come up for trial In the next term of the Fed eral court. Mr. Arnold has never been to court In Valdosta, but the people here have heard so much of him In a political way that they will be g’ad to hear him conduct a big case like this. To Appeal to the Governor. Judge 8. M. Varnedoe went to At lanta last night to represent Tom Jackson, who is to bo hanged here Friday, In a final appeal to Gov ernor Smith to save the negro’s life Governor Smith granted a respite to the prisoner last week In order that be might have time to go Into the merits of the case. He has had so much business to attend to since his inauguration that he has not had time to look into this case. Mr. Varnedoe and Col. Johnson, who also represents tho negro In his fight for life, have left no stone unturned that would help the negro. It Is believed that the last card In the cUse Is being played right now, and that the negro’s fate will be settled this week. Mr. L. J. Jackson reached Valdosta yesterday morning from Mlama, Fla, wher© he and Mrs. Jackson have boon spending a few days. Mre. Jackson Is still in Florida and expects to come to Valdosta In a short time.

(From Tuesday’s Daily.) In tho city prison this morning •was found a lone prisoner, who was sleeping his hours away as com pletely satisfied as if he had been at his home on a feather bed, with an electric fan to cool the air and to keep off the files. It took a re porter some timo to wake him up and find out what was his trouble. “I s you a turpentine man?” He asked after he got his eyes open. Then he went on to tell how he came to be arrested. “There ain’t much to it,” he said, “except my wife took all my money and came to town yesterday and followed her in a hacu last night. I met her down on the railroad track and jerked the pocket book out of her hand, hut she jerked it back and the police got us. She bad fif teen dollars In the pocket book and eho put that up for bond, so that turned her loose. 1 didn’t have any more money besides that, so here 1 am.” The negro’s name Is Artie Smith and his wife's namo is Uancey Smith. It Is said that she ran off from Mill- town yesterday for the purpose of going to Jacksonville on an excur sion, though Artie had forbade her going. While he was off at work, according to his story, she took the money and came to town. He fol lowed her a 8 soon as he could get a hack and he arrived here this morn ing about 4 o’clock. He went Im mediately to the Georgia Southern depot and found her waiting for the train to Jacksonville to pull out. He walked np to her, snatched pocket book out of her hand and she snatched It back. Then there was a fight between husband and wife that looked very much like a scrap be tween two angry tigers. While the fight was In progress a telephone message was sent for a po liceman and officer Presley went down and arrested both of the fight ers. The woman was hardly In a condition to go to Jacksonville, even If she had not been arrested, Artie had almost torn her clothes from her. As the bond which the woman put up was all the monoy she had, she was forced to remain at home. In talking over the matter after wards, Artie declared that they were not fighting, buf that he merely snatched the pocket book from her. After telling his side of the story he quietly turned over on his bunk and was asleep before the reporter could get out of the room. TABOO-ON \VOOD TRE8TLEH.

Two hack horses belonging to Will Stanley became frightened at something on Snvannah avenue a day or two ago and they ran away down the street toward the west. They took to the railroad and ran most of the distance along the track. Jerking the hack over cross lieF as hard as they could clip It. They started to running at the Ashley street crossing and ran all of the way to the Consolidated ice factory to the other sidle of the Georgia and Florida railroad cross ing.
