THESE
UNCLE SAM’S FAMOUS SEV
ENTH CAVALRY TROOPERS’
FEATS OUTDO THOSE OF
THE CIRCUS MEN.
Rah for the Seventh!
If there is one thing in the wide world
the American public loves it is daring,
the more highly spiced with danger the
better, and this is one reasoh why the
gallant Seventh cavalry tore out of the
arena at horse show Tuesday night car
rying with them the unbounded admira
tion of thousands.
Never before had such riding been seen.
Tour circus man will do well enough, as
he leaps through paper hoops and bal
ances himself on one foot while his well
fed horse ambles peacefully around a
twenty foot ring. But this display of rid
ing from the troopers is of a different
braao. They are no circus riders, nor
are theirs the docile ring horses of the
tent. Instead the horses are mettlesome,
spirited animals, that toss their heads
and champ tuetr bits and gallop like the
aevil. And the r.t-.ng-well, that is dif
ferent too.- These fellows do not ride in
circus form, with wnite shirts and high
hats and polite smiles. They dig their
feet into the stirrups, bug the horse wtth
their knees and away they go. One mo
ment they are running beside the horse;
the next, wtth a grasp at a fidwing mane,
they are launched into the air. trusting
by providence ano no small degree of
skill to land somewhere between the
horses’ bead and tail. Once on. they stay.
Accoutrements sre nothing .and a saddle
a fas—« luxury.
They yell uae demons and race as if
for .ife. .orty of them tn a line and just
i«o c between one horse and »n«.
o -r. They leap off. slip off. and throw
their horses, sit cn them and blase away
W"U» rt'ol en. If the horse gets up his
rider throws im again.
Their drill is nothing short of marvel
ens Every man. it must be known, nas
trained his own horse. When the signal
ta elven forty horses stand motionless tn
aTww. Not one moves and not one is a
half tach too far forward or too far back.
They circle in fours on so exact a pivot
that each revolution presents the same un
broken alignment. ih<) cash into single
file at a gallop and a tape measure will
show four feet between each horse and
.eader.
Yet at the word o. command, the line is
transformed of an instant from a kaleido
scope of flashing hoofs and tossing bodies
to a motionless grourf erect, steady. No
wonder the big horse show building fair
ly rocked with applause.
The evolution* were as varied as they
were remarkable mere was such a fu
rious dare-deviltry about it all that people
sometimes forgot o applaud In their
braahlessness. mere would be a rumble
of hoofs and a glimpse of lithe bodies
flying through space and all of a sudden
some rider would disappear in the flash.
Run over? Never a bit. In a moment
or so be would reappear, nonchalantly
dusting his service unuortn. Across the
arena he would spy his horse, and with
a run and a jump wouid oo mounted
and flyii g on with the rest,
themselves.
There is no doubt of the unqualified
success of the horse show, but nine peo
ple out of ten will praise the entered
horses and then go tnto incoherence in
an endeavor to express their admiration
of the gallant soldier boys.

KILLEDBYIOBBER;
HEAD CRUSHED
' IN BADLY
MURDERER FIRED TWO SHOTS
INTO THE BRAIN OF MARK
AUSTIN AND THEN
ESCAPED.
Pace downward, wtth two bullet holes In
the back of his head, the body of Mark
Austin was found cold and stiff In death
Tuesday morning at daylight in a bleak
field at Western Heights, near the corner
of Walnut and Kennedy streets. There
were deep scars on both the back and
front of the head as though made with
some heavy instrument, while the bullet
holes were in the back.
The body was lying just at the foot of
an Incline and down which it had evident
ly been rolled. At the top of the Incline
were the tracks of a buggy or cab. which
had turned around at this point. The
.supposition was the man had been killed
somewhere in the citv and his lifeless body
i taken out to the field in a cab or he was
enticed to the neighborhood of the place
‘where the body was found, there murder
led and his body thrown from the vehicle.
This last, upon investigation, was found
to be the case.
Austin came to Atlanta “from New Or
leans fouPor five years ago. His mother
still Ilves there, it is said, though no one
I knows her name and address. Some say
hfe was originally from Texas and lived in
New Orleans only a short time. Concern
ing his life before coming to Atlanta little
Is known. Since he has been here he has
been a professional track follower or tout
and has made his home in the tenderloin
where for a time he was employed as a
musician
There is little doubt that Austin was
killed In the buggy and his body
dragged out and rolled down tr.e In
cline. The scars, except the bullet holes,
were probably made after death, seeming
ly wtth a rocK. The head was mashed
badly, but there was no blood on the
ground about the body. On the body it
self there were stains from the wounds.
FThe buggy* probably caught all the blood
thet flowed from the body. The wounds
unade by the slows, either with a heavy*
rock or the pistol itself, might have b-*en
inflict'd with the idea of hiding the bul
la t marks.

HIGHWAYMAN FOUGHT
TWO POLICE OFFICERS
L. 8. Reed, a negro wanted for high
way robbery, bad a desperate struggle
with Detective Langford Monday un
der the Forsyth street bridge before he
would submit to arrest, and later tried
to escape from Wagonman Williams on
the way to police headquarters. Both
officers received some severe blows from
the man and he had to be clubbed before
he would surrender.
Detectives Kilpatrick and Laneford had
been looking for the man for nearly a
week. He Is charged with robbing Jim
Skinner, a white man who lives at Poplar
Springs, of his watch and $41.50. The
robbery took place last Tuesday after
noon In the rear of a Decatur street sa
loon. Monday the negro was found
on a furniture wagon tn front of the post
office. He ran as the detectives approach
ed and the officers followed. A street car
cut off Detective Kilpatrick and Detective
Langford continued the chase alone.
Under the street bridge the officer
c ught him. but the nejro resisted with
all his might. He struck the detective a
severe blow on the nose that brought tne
blood and followed it up with several
others on the body. He was getting the
best of the affair when the detective drew
his pistol and ordered him to desist.
Other negroes Interferred and aided the
detective to keep the officer from being
forced to shoot.
Reed was placed in the patrol wagon
and had gone only a short distance when
be struck Williams, who had him in
charge, across the nose .with the hand
cuffs. The cuffs were almost the same as
brass knucks and made a mean looking
scar. The negro was struck several times
with a billy before he gave up his plan
to escape. Several times both officer and
prisoner came near failing from the
wagon.
Jlching Joints
In the fingers, toes, arms, and
other parts of the body, are joints
that are inflamed and swollen by
rheumatism that acid condition
of the blood which affects the mus
cles also.
Sufferers dread to move, espe
cially after sitting or lying long,
and their condition is commonly
worse in wet weather.

FIVEIORTSTiFFS
UNBONED BY
GHOULS
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 14.—Four
dead bodies were found tied in sacks in
Georgia street and in the rear of the
Central college of physicians and surgeons
yesterday. •
rhe bodies wore Identified as those of
Mrs. Johanna SUU. itQien from the Ebe
nexer Miss Glendore Gates,
stolen from Anderson cemetery; Wallace
Johnson, stolen from Ebenezer cemetery,
and Mrs. Oathrine Dohring, stolen from
the German Catholic cemetery. All these
cemeteries are near the city line.
About 6 \ o’clock yesterday bicycle
patrolmen were sent to Meridian and
Georgia streets on a telephone message
that there were bodies there. When the
police arrived they were directed to a dry
goods box on the sidewalk in Georgia
street, opposite a wholesale dry goods
store. On the top of the box, in a sit
ting posture, was a body tied ift a sack.
The form could plainly be seen. It was
identified as that of Mrs. Stllz.
The patrolmen looked *in the j>ox and
found another body also tied in a sack
The city dispensary ambulance was call
ed and the bodies were sent to the morgue.
A young man who telephoned for the
police was still There and he told the po
lice that while on his way to work in
passing the rear end of the Central col
lege of physicians and surgeons in South
Pennsylvania street, he noticed two sacks
filled with something lying near the rear
door of the college. When he walked into
Georgia street and saw the body sitting
on the dry goods box he realized that the
sacks in the rear of the college probably
contained bodies.
Officers hurried to the Central college
building and took charge of the bodies
lying in the alley. Each was tied secure
ly in a sack. When the sacks were cut
open it was founckthat they contained the
bodies of Miss Gates and Wallace John
son.
The finding of the bodies is thought to
be due to the efforts of detectives, who,
for several days, have been talking with
physicians not oonnected with any of the
colleges to use their influence in having
the stolen bodies returned to the relatives.
Seventeen persons are now under arrest
for grave robbing, including nine negroes,
three white doctors, one colored under
taker, a proprietor of a cemetery, two
night watchmen at a cemetery and a
night watchman.
It is supposed at least one hundred
graves have been despoiled wltnln me
last three months.
Rufus Cantrill, colored, is the confess
ed leader of the gang.
Judge Alford in his instructions to the
grand jury yesterday told it to go to the
bottom of the outrage and punish every
man for his part in it regardless of his
prominence.

GUBY JUMPS ON THE
LEGISLHTUHE ftND
THE JUDGES
SAYS THE LEGISLATURE FAVOR
ED ATLANTA AND THE SU
PERIOR COURT JUDGES
ARE WIRE PULLERS.
judge William T. Gary, Judge of the
superior court of Richmond county and
member of tne legislature from Richmond
last year in a speech in Augusta Tues
day jumped on the legislature of last
year for the manner in which business
was transacted, charging tnat the steer
ing committee siaetracked Richmond
county bills and all other legislation in
interest of the Atlanta depot bill.
The Augusta herald of Tuesday after
noon has the follAving account of the
meeting of the Augusta bar at which cer
tain local measures to be introduced in
the coming legislature were discussed:
"Major William T. Gary, judge-elect of
the superior court of Richmond county,
and a member of the last Georgia legisla
ture, In a meeting of the Augusta bar
Association, held in the superior court
room at 11 o’clock this morning, tore up
the fur of the legislative system while
discussing his efforts to get through cer
tain bills to give Richmond county four
terms of the superior court instead of
the present system.
"The session of the association was
for the transaction of regular business,
but, from a standpoint of the present
bar, tue most important was the action
to be taken on the ’four-term’ legisla
tion.
’ The change first came before the bar
last year, and a bill was drafted by
W. H. Fleming, Salem Dutcher
and W. K. Miller, which was presented
to the house by Major Gary. For some
reason the measure did not get through.
Why, Major Gary explained as the meet
ing progressed. •
•’The matter was formally brought up
by Mr. F. H. Miller, when Mr. Ham
mond said: ‘The bar never did a wiser
thing than framing this bill, and I hope
the members of the lower house and
Senator Sullivan will be urged to get
the measure before the legislature and
push it through.’ He suggested that it
be urged before the judiciary commit
tee.
Major Gary said:
"The measure had my undivided atten
tion. The difficulty was this: There was a
keener fight over the depot bill than any
measure in several years; in fact, I be
lieve one of the keenest fights the body
has had. The lines were sharply and clear
ly drawn. I believe «t was the friends of
the depqjt who raised a body known as
the steering committee. No bill could be
considered without the consent of this
committee; in fact, until the last of the
session, there was no way of getting a hill
before the house except through this
steering committee.
"There was trouble and opposition.
There must be 88 votes to pass any meas
ure, and the attendance was never over
100, so you see it would take very small
opposition to defeat a bill. I planned and
figured, but knew there,was no opportu
nity to bring it up with safety. I could
some time, by maneuvering, have gotten
the bill up, but there never were men
enough In the house to vote on It.
Didn’t Know What It Wa».
**l did get one through, but, to be can
did with you, I really don’t believe any
body knew what the house was passing
on. The members heard it and knew It was
somethin? about Richmond county, but
that was all.”
Major Gary said he found several mem
bers who honestly differed as to the con
stitutionality of the four-term bill.
The hitch seemed to be this: The bill
provided generally for four terms of the
superior court a year under certain con
ditions. The Impression greatly prevalent
was that it would Increase the expense
and burden of the people of certain other
counties, and It was on this line that
the fight was brought. To obviate this at
the coming session of the legislature, Mr.
Salem Dutcher suggested that the bill be
made a .general one on the line of local
option, allowing each of the counties to
provide for the special terms or not, as
they saw fit, and this would do away with
the question of constitutionality of the
measure/
This brought Major Gary quickly to his
feet again.
Judges Pull Strings.
"If you do this, I am sure the judges of
various circuits, like the northern, for in
stance, where there are eleven counties,
will combine against such an open meas
ure. It is different with'them from a cir
cuit like Augusta’s, where there are only
four counties.
"These judges pull strings in the Geor
gia legislature with an adroitness you
folks little understand. Where they get
their influence from I don’t understand,
out they certainly do the pulling.”

FRIENDS FEAR SUICIDE
TUCKER, Ga., Oct. 15.—The relatives of
Washington Braswell are greatly exercis
ed over his disappearance from home. On
the night of October 6th he went to the
home of his son-in-law, Robert Rodgers,
who lives about three miles west of here,
at which place his wife was staying. Mr.
Rodgers states that his father-in-law
seemed partially demented and says that
the latter began to abuse his wife imme
diately upon his arrival, finally knocking
her down
Braswell then left the house stating that
he intended killing himself and nothing
has been heard or seen of him since. -He
was traced to an old mill pond. He had
made several threats of taking his life
before and his people fear he has carried
out his threat. A diligent search has been
made in vain.
Braswell i# well known throughout this
section and has several sons.

the cost Is s‘>.so. If It fails, I will pay the
druggist myself.
Not a penny will be asked or accepted in
any case that my remedy can't cure.
There are such cases—rare ones, where the
trouble results from an incurable cause, like
cancer. But my records show that 39 out of
each 40 who try those six bottles get well—
and pay gladly. Those remarkable results make
this offer
My success comes from strengthening the

THE STATE OF’gEORGIA
LOSES IN CIRCUIT COURT
The United States circuit court of
appeals Monday affirmed the decision of
district court in the case of v»- iam A.
Wright, as comptroller general of Geor
gia vs. the Louisville and Nashville rail
road.
The lower court decided in favor of the
railroad, and the decision of the circuit
court affirms that decision and means
that the state loses out.
The suit was brought for back taxes-
Comptroller Wright aiscovered that the
Georgia railroad, which is leased by the
L. and N. held SBB,OOO worth of Atlanta
and West Point stock on which no taxes
had been paid and he brought suit to re
cover the same, which amounted to about
$7,000.
Thejrailroad claimed that the stock was
in Nftw York and was therefore not tax
able in Georgia. The courts sustained
this plea.
Three other oplnons were handed down
as follows:
J. W. Park vs. J. W. Taylor. From
northern district of Mississippi. Judg
ment reversed and case remanded.
L. T. Morgan vs. Libbie Barnhill et al.
From western district of Texas. Affirmed.
Frank C. Gaffney vs. Edmund Pruitt.
From eastern district of Texas. Affirmed.
Three cases from the circuit court of

TEXAS MOB SEARCH WITH
TORCH FOR NEGRO
NACOGDOCHES, Tex.. Oct. 15.—Sheriffs
having the negro murderer and rapist
Buchanan in charge escaped from tlffe mob
late Monday night and has disappeared.
They boarded a train from Tenaha and
started for Nacogdoches, but left the train
and made a detour as a new mob awaited
them at Timpson. They are supposed to
be now somewhere in the woods in Shelby
county. <
A new mob left San Ausrustine at mid
night coming across the country.
The whole country-side 4s aroused over
the matter and people are terribly ex
cited. It is hardly possible to get the
negro out of the country now unless the
governor orders troops to protect him.
The move would hardly do much good
as the mobs are more likely to find the
officers and prisoner than the soldiers
are.
No official information has yet been
sent to the governor, as the sheriffs are
not near enough to the telegraph office to
tell him of their predicament.
WOMAN HAD LEFT
gritte™
HOME
BUT MRS. ROGERS, ALIAS PLUM-
MER, HAS NOW BEEN SENT
TO HER RELATIVES OUT
OF THE CITY.
Wandering around In' the woods with
a little baby in her arms near Sylvan
avenue, to the left of Capitol avenue,
Mrs. Mary Plummer, of Tucker, Ga.. was
Monday found by Call Officers
Covington and Chandler. She and the
child were brought to police headquarters
and given intd the custody of Matron
Bohnefleld. Some one in tha neighbor
hood, who had seen the woman, tele
phoned for the officers, stating she ap
peared to be demented.
The officers found her wandering about
aimlessly, but she is able tb talk intelli
gently. She says she has been in Atlanta
several weeks, visiting her uncle, James
Plummer.. She does not know the name
of the street he lives on or how to go
to his house. She thinks it is in the
eastern part of the city. She says she
lost her way ahd did not know where to
go when she found herself out in the
woods.
The woman who was found wandering
around in the vtoods near Sylvan avenue
with a month-old ’baby in her arms, and
who gave her name as Mrs. Mary Plum
mer to the officers who took her to the po
lice barracks, was Monday given a tick
et to Tucker, Ga., where she elaims she
has an aunt. Detective Osborn accom
panied her to the train.
Before the woman left police barracks,
it was found that she had givdh the wrong
name. Monday afternoon a young man
claiming to be the son of the alleged
uncle with whom the woman said she had
been stopping, called at the barracks and
asked to see the girl giving her name as
Mrs. Marv Plummer. The request was
granted. When confronted by the young
man, the girl claimed to know him but
confessed that her name was not Plum
mer but Rogers, that she was not mar
ried, and had not been with an uncle as
she first claimed. She said she had been
at a convent on Mitchell street. Matron
Bohnefield knew of no convent on Mitch
ell street, so she telephoned to the Flor
ence Crittenden home and asked if they
knew a Mary Rogers. The reply was that
they did hnff that the girl had run away
that morning. Matron Bohnefield then
asked Mary Rogers why she had left the
home.
•‘Because they made me wash dishes
and work,” he replied.
Matron Bohnefield was Informed by the
young man who called to see Mary
Rogers that the girl has been in Atlanta
about two months. She was brought here
by her father, C. D. Rogers, who lives
about eight miles from Covington. They
came to Decatur in a buggy and from
there to Atlanta on the car. The child
was born about a month ago at the Flor
ence Crittenden Home.
ALABAMA NEGRO LOSES
SUIT FOR SUFFRAGE
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Oct 15.—Jackson
W. Giles, a hegro who has been elected as
a subject for testing the suffrage clause
in the new constitution, made his third
water haul in the city court Monday.
He filed a mandamus suit in the city
court to force the registrars to put his
name on the list of registered voters,. De
murrers were film!. The damage side was
dismissed on a demurrer to the complaint
in which the counsel for Giles attacked the
constitutionality of the state constitution,
yet asking for relief under the laws of the
same constitution.
In the mandamus proceedings Judge
Sayre held that the method taken by Giles
was faulty and that instead of going into
the mandamus process he should have
first complained to the board of regis
trars and if his complaint was overruled
by them he should have then appealed
their decision to the city court.
The appeal In this case will have to
come up before the supreme court of Ala
bama and If the decision of Judge Sayre
is confirmed there, the United States su
preme court will be resorted to.
The damage suit was for $50,000.
In* the complaint Giles alleges that he
filled the requirements set forth in the
constitution for a qualified elector and
still ths registrars would not register him
as such. The complaint is lengtny, the
attack being wholly directed at the suf
frage clause and the refusal on the part
of the board of registrars to give him a
life certificate.
