A CYCLONE,
SMALL TORNADO VISITED
MOULTRIE TUESDAY.
Colquitt-County City Suffers Severely
From Terrible Windstorm That
Causes Loss of Thousands of Dollars
Worth of Property—No Loss of Life-
Complete Story of the Storm.
Moultrie, Georgia, was visited by a
windstorm of cyclonic proportions
Tuesday morning at tenjo’clook, and al
though no lives were lost, thousands of
dollars’ worth of property was destroy
ed.
DIED WEDNESDAY.
Mr. Jai. J. M.Il.tte Pauad Aw.y at
Rumors of the disaster reached
Taomasville Tuesday morning and
anxious inquirers sought to discover its
exteii^ all day. Complete telegraphic
reports and the stories of Messrs. G. L.
Hammond and Watt Milton of Moultrie
enables the Times-Enterprise to present
a complete account of the storm’s work.
About ten o’clock in the morning a
funnel shaped cloud swept down on the
town and struck first the Baptist Church
near the cotton factory. It blew this
down and proceeded on its way to the
negro Baptist church, which i
blown down.
Two small negro houses and a negro
school house was also demolished.
School was in session at the house and
there wfere occupants in both houses but
they saw the storm coming and escaped.
The plant of the Spivey Steam Laun
dry was demolished and the machinery
wrecked. The Gresote factory stood
next in the storm’s path. This was in
process of rebuilding after a fire of a
few weeks ago. .It was unroofed but
the machinery was uninjured.
The buildings of the Moultrie Oil
Company were wrecked, and- those of
Nace’s planing mill adjoining were in
jured. The storm then passed on and
was followed by a severe rain storm.
It seems almost miraculous that no
lives were lost but as far conld be as
certained no one was killed and only
three negroes injured.
Mr.Jas. J. MaUette passed to his
eternal rest ail o’clock Wednesday n
tog at* Boston. Mr. MaUette was a
brother of Dr. M. R. MaUette of this
city and of Mrs. James Jones of Boston.
He was a son of the lamented Dr. Jaa.
A. MaUette and a first cousin of Mr. E.
M. MaUette.
Mr. MaUette was weU - known to
Thomasvilie. He was reared in the
county, and years ago was for: a-.con
siderable time to the drag store of the
late Dr. S. J. Cassels. Jim MaUette,
as he was then called, was one of the
most poular young men in Thomasvilie.
After leaving here some 17 years ago
he went to Texas* and only returned
home from there in 1901. .
He had been to broken health for
many months, and when the endcame
on Tuesday night it was not altogether
unexpected, though none the less sad.
Mr. MaUette died a bachelor. He was
about 44 years old.
The funeral took place at four o’clock
Wednesday afternoon in Boston.
Dr. and Mrs. M. R. MaUette, Miss
Edwina and Mr. Jas. MaUette, Mr. E.
M. MaUette, Miss Ola MaUette, Judge
and Mrs. W. M. Jones and others, went

IMPORTANT ARREST.
Officers Jail Valdosta Man Accused
of Stealing Rings.
Marshal Stephens and Officer Martin
made an important arrest Tuesday af
ternoon when they put in jail Rufus
Ammon alias J. W. Phillips, of Yaldos-
Some days ago the officers received a
letter from the Valdosta authorities
Asking them to look out for Ammon as
he was wanted to Valdosta for the lar
ceny of two rings and clothing, hut that
the clothing had been Recovered.
The officers kept'their eyes open and
succeeded in locating Ammon who was
going under the name of Phillips and
who was a boarder at the Powell house
on Broad street.
Tuesday aite noon Merer*. Martin
and Stephens interviewed Mr. Ammon
and fonnd the rings on his finger. They
took possession of thejings and put the
suspected man in the guard house. He
stoutly maintains his innocence and says
that the rings belong to him and were
only loaned by him to the woman who
alleges theft.
It is understood that Ammon belongs
to a prominent Georgia family bnt the
officers say lie has a shady reputation.
He wiU be held until the Valdosta offi
cers are heard from.
