George Bttndricfc, who iw wanted
here for the murder «£-£. H,
Shrouder, and-the-serious wound
ing of Mrs. J. H. Shrouder, near
Raines, in the southern part of
this county about two'years ago
lias been captured in Indian Terri
tory. The officers are maintaining
silence as to the place where he
was captured, but say it is a fact
that the capture has been perfect
ed, and Sheriff Clewis stated to
the writer early this morning that
he expected the officer who went
from this county to identify
Bundrick,. to arrive in Vienna
with him this afternoon or tonight .
It will be remembered by our
readers that Mr. Shrouder and the
Bundrioks became involved in a
difficulty in Cordele over a negro
laborer. The next day Mrs.
Shrouder met Mr. Shrouder at
Raines with the buggy and they
started to drive home and were
met on the road by the Bundrick
boys, George and Andrew, who
were armed with shot guns loaded
with buck shot.
Shrouder was killed almost in
stantly and his wife, who was at
the time in very delicate health,
received a load of buck shot in the
back, and it was feared for some
time th;it she would not recover,
butjhe Anally did.
The boys escaped, but Andrew
waa caught about a month later
in a loft in a barn of one .of his
relatives in Crawford county after
it had been surrpniided by a posse

Mrs. Rawlings was in town and it
was thought that she got the gun
in the absence of the sheriff,
though tracks at the rear window
indicate that it was stolen during
the night.
The gun had a hollow out into
the stock, Rawlings being a ono
eyed man, nnd'having to rest his
face in the hollow to get sight on
the barrel.
Mrs. Rawlings stated this morn

Alleged Shortage In Accounts of an

Waycroas, Ga., June 21.—W. J.
Swain, auditor of the Atlantic and
Birmingham Railway, Was noti
fied today of the arrest late last
night of Henry L. Langley, for
merly agent for that railroad at
Moultrie. The arrest was made
ou a warrant sworn out by an
agent of the American. Surety
Company of Now York, which
concer/i is on his bond. Langley
is accused of J embezzling $1112
while in the service of the railway
company.
Tho accused waived a prelimi
nary heuriug before G. W. Hook
er, a justice of the peace, who re
leased him on $1,001) bond. It is
claimod that Langley’s pecula
tions cover a period of four
months and were made up through
a falsification of his accounts.
Langley went to Moultrie about
one year ago from Chattanooga,
where he is well connected. The
alleged shortage in his accounts
was discovered by D. Black, trav
eling auditor for the Atlantic and
Birmingham Railway Company.
dent Roosevelt, and even that is
considered slender, So far as
known the President has not taken
a positive step in this direction.,
The impression in St. 'Peters
burg continues strong that Japan
only with great reluctance ooald
be induced to forego the advant
ages of her stratglo position which
despite for tone of the offioial
advices from the front, is regard
ed as* being altogether favorable
to Field Marshal Oyama, and
agree to a suspension of hoatiHUpa
for at least six weekA, during wffich
time thousands of reinforcements
would reach Gen. Linevitoh and
Vladivostok would be strengthen
ed with munitions and supplied to
withstand a-siego.
• Indeed, it if suggested that
Japan deliberately plauned to
postpone the meeting long enough
to give Oyafna a chance to ad
minister to the Russians a fueh
defeat on land in order to rob the
war party in Russia of their last
oard and facilitate acquiescence
to her terms.
THE JAPANESE ADVANlNOj
RUSSIANS FALLING BACK
Washington, June 61.—It it
intimated* in official circle! here
that negotiations are proceeding
looking to an armistice between
Japan and Russia.
The stumbling block in the way
of an armistice appears to be that
neither belligerent is, willing to
take the initiative. The-present
negotiations cousist of an effort
to sound one or both government
as to their willingness to agree to
tin armistice.
The feeling in offioial oiroles
here is strongly in, favor of a ces
sation of hostilities ns it it believ
ed that a-clash before the conven
ing of the peace conference,WQuld
hamper the work.of the plenipot
entiaries and might prove a serious
menace to their efforts for peace.
If the Czar ever gets another
navy he will propably use it to
preserve peace instead of Bending
1 it out to hunt trouble.
