A shocking tragedy occurred at
the convict camp of B. G. Lockett
&Co., on the Chattahooche river,
six miles from this city Sunday
evening. F. L. Faulkner, a white
man sent to the penitentiary lroin
the neighborhood of Gainesville,
was shot and instantly killed by
Dock Johnson, a negro guard.
The particulars of the tragedy
are as follows:
It is customary at the camp to
have the refuse of the place taken
in buckets to the river twice a day
and dumped in. To do this a squad
ot convicts is detailed, and they
march down to the river’s brink un
der guard. All Lockett’s guards
are negroes, and Sunday afternoon
about five o’clock two guqrds es
corted sixteen convicts to givo
the waters the filth of the camp for
that day. The sun was about half
an hour high and the evening was
calm and peaceful. The eighteen
men drew near the brinnof the riv
er, and foremost was Faulkner
wearing shackles. He sat his
bucket on the ground and
PLUNGED INTO T1IE RIVElt.
At once a scene of the wildest
excitement.
Splash! splash! went the strug
gling convict out into the stream
One guard saw the plunge,Jbut the
convicts were between him and the
escaping man, and he shouted to
the other guard to look out, at the
same moment the convicts rushed
into a huddle and screamed and
screeched:
“Don’t shoot us! don’t shootns!
we are not trying to get away!”
Dock Jackson, one of the guards,
rushed to the river’s side.
Through the folds of thick wil
low branches that bordered the
stream, he could see faulkner fight
ing the waves. He was sixty feet
out in the stream, and every second
curtied him further and further
way. Tlier^ was no boat at hand
and shouting to his companion to
keep an eye on the other convicts.
Johnson raised his shotgun and
whizzed nine buckshot at the figure
n the river. Four of them took ef
fect. One struck just above the
left kindney and made a flesh
wound, another struck the left arm,
third went into the left shoulder
and glanced upward, and the fourth
made a fatal wound, striking in the
back, glancing into the spinal col
umn and tearing along beside, the
man’s neck. Faulkner’s frame re
axed, his arms ceased to struggle,
and he sank
A LIFELESS MASS
to the bottom of the Chattahoochee.
The excitement was intense. The
convicts were driven to camp and
locked up, Captain William Lockett
the manager of the camp got out
his dogs. It was first thought that
Faulkner had been mis-ed and had
made a long dive and escaped in the
gathering twilight. The dogs ran
up and down the river and failing to
strike a trail a boat was procured
and a search for the body was made,
It was found not more than five feet
from where it sank with the wounds
that have already described. The
dead man was properly cared for
and word was sent to the coroner.
Yesterday morning Coroner Frank
Hilburn went out to the camp and
held an inquest. The examination
developed the facts as Stated above

Mow Saba-'tuin Beck Took the Hot Txi*h of thr Si
oux and Became e Sarage in Name.
The pages fiction scarcely con
tain so strange and thrilling a story
as'that narrated to a Denver, Col,
News reporter last evening by Se
bastian Beck. He is a plain, hon
est looking German, probably 5°
years of age, and lays claim to be
ing considerable of a linguist and
capable of speaking seven lan
guages in addition to Sioux Indian,
which he speaks with great fluency,
apparently. During nearly ten
years Beck was a member of the
Stoux tribe. His story of how lie
ran the gauntlet is thus told:
“We did not know what fate
awaited us. But we had scatcely
arrived at the Indian camp than we
were given to understand that we
would have to run the gauntlet.
This consisted in running between
two lines of braves, 500 in each
line, and taking all the blows that
these could give us while we made
the run, which was twice up and
twice down ihe line. The lines
were just far enough apart to give
us room to run, a line of guns being
placed along on each side, betweeu
us and the Indians, which could
not be crossed by either us or the
Indians. We were compelled to
keep within this line, and the Indi
ans were not allowed to leave their
positions in the line, but could in
flict all the punishment possible
while we were in reach of them.
The Indians were armed with sticks
moccasins and everything that could
be used to strike with of a nature
that would inflict pain without do
ing great bodily injury, hut strictly
with a kind of cat-’o-nine-tails used
by the Indians in riding their po
nies. This is a terrible weapon,
having a large number of strings on
the end of each o’f which is a chunk
of lead. There were a large num
her ot squaws in the lines in addi
tion to the braves, who appeared to
take as strong an interest in the
matter as the latter.
We were stripped naked with
the exception of breech-clouts
which were given us. I was placed
first in line of twenty-five, the run
being made by all tegether in a sin
gle file. This was a decided ad
vantage to me, as I could go as fast
I liked, not having to depend
npon the speed of others. A friend
ly Indian, th’e one who had encour
aged me at first, signaled me, giv
ing me to understand that I was to
run as fast as I could. 1 did not
need the advice after I got well
started, but it served me until I gqt
past the first dozen, as I started
while they were chatting among
themselves. But the rest of the
way I got it, I tell you. 1 just ran
for dear life, taking the blows as
they came. I could not repress
some exclamations of pain as ihe
whips cut into my flesh, but I man
aged to keep from disgracing my
self in the minds of the Indians, al
though suffering terribly at every
blow received.”
Did many of them miss you?”
After the first dozen none that
I know of. They laid on the blows
as hard as they could, but conform
td strictly to their law, which is not
to leave their place in the fine to in
flict further punishment.”
When I reached the end of the
line the first time I was coxered
with blood and thoroughly winded,
being scarcely able to stand We
managed to get through with our
li*es, not one of the twenty-five
falling or giving up. We were
then admitted to membership in the
tribe.”
Beck is now traveling among the
Indians looking for his wife and
children, whom he lost when cap
tured years ago.

Dr. Samuel H. Warren, who has
figured so prominently in connec
tion with the attempt to put on Gov.
Cleveland the odium of another
scandal through the use of a muti
lated bill, frankly admits the wrong
done and asks the public to judge
him leniently. Mr. Warren called
at the News office and asked to he'
set in as favorable light before the
people as justice would permit. The
exposure he said had wrought him
great injury. His aged mother is
ill and is fretted by reports that he
is to be arrested for various offenses
in connection with the affair. He
ask-' the News to publish the follow
ing card:
Editor Evening. News: I ask
you to present this statement to the
the public in my .behalf. This
Cleveland-Guenther matter has
been widely read and discussed.and
the blame has all been put on me. I
am willing to bear some of it, but
not all that has been given me. The
was all a joke at first. Afterward,
while under the influence of liquor in
Wolford’s saloon, I was led into a
scheme which I would not have
gone into otherwise. Wolford got
the documents and kept them and
finally gave them up to the News.
The dispatches sent to the Sun were
written at his request. He paid for
them. I do not defend any facts in
the case, but ask that circumstances
should be taken into account. I
have been subjected to suspicion of
series offenses in this matter ot
which I am innocent. I have held
a good name for many years in Buf
falo and have dear friends and rela
tives who suffer now for my folly.
I only ask that 1 shall not be blamed
for more than is my due. The affair
has injured no one as much as my
self. Mr. Cleveland has not suffer
ed by it and I ask his friends not to
be vindictive in their censure,
Samuel H. Warred’.
Buffalo, Oct. 2, 1SS4.
The News has no wish to pursue
Dr. Warren or any one in connec.
tion with this affair. Mr. Cleveland
has not been harmed by the exposure
of the way his enemies were trying
to hurt him. Mr. Blaine has been
fitly pilloried as the abettor of, scan
dal. The doctor has frankly owned
his wrong doing. No good can come
of adding to his humiliation, and we
leel sure that no friend of Mr.
Cleveland will seek, as the News
will certainly not seek, to punish his
folly in a vindictive way.

William Culver, says a Utica (N.
Y.) special of Oct. 1, is a son of the
late A. E. Culver, who was at one
time a forwarder of prominence and
wealth, but who, at his death, was
financially embarrassed. His fam
ily, however, still hold a prominent
social position, and one of kis sons
graduated at the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, and is now a Lieutenant
in the United States navy. Mrs.
Culver still resides in Utica, is pos
sessed of considerable property and
highly esteemed in the best circles.
William Culver is now 2S or 30
years old. Some years ago he con
tracted a marriage which his parents
considered beneath him. Tho wo
man died and young Culver was re
ceived at home again. During the
past summer he has been at work
in the American express office in
Utica, and made frequent trips to
Trenton Falls, a summer resort a
few miles north of Utica.
An old negro named Bristow,
with two light-colored mulatto
daughters of some vocal ability,
have been the musical* attractions of
the resort. The dulcet tones of their
guitars and the Tavishing vocalism
of the daughters doubtless captivat
ed young Culver, who on Wednes
day last embarked in a second mar
riage, and married one of the Bris-
ters. The father at the first oppos
ed the union, but the girl’s appeals
prevailed and he final-
acted as witness to the ceremo
ny. The marriage was performed
at Prospect, near Trenton Falls, by
a Rev. Mr. Bullock, a local preach
er, who is not recognized by the
Northern New York Methodist
Episcopal Conference- The event
occurred last Saturday, but the in
fluence of Culver’s family has kept
the euent out of the local papers.
Gossip, however, has been busy,
and Utica society is greatly excited
over the news.
Macon Telegraph,
Atlanta, Oct 4.—From- that in
teresting period in the world’s his
tory when Cain clubbed Abel and
wandered a fugitive upon the face
of the earth to the present day,
when the science of the art of crime
seems to have reached the deme of
perfection, it is to be doubted wheth
er any instance may he cited that
will surpass in intrinsic depravity
and dramatic eflect the achieve
ments of young Thomas Marston,
of Conyers. Some two or three
weeks ago the Telegraph publish
ed in brief a report of his achieve
ments in desecrating the cemetery
of his native town, setting fire to
and burning to the ground the
Methodist church and applying the
torch to a number of dwellings. In
the midst of his incendiary work he
was .finally captured, but not until
the posse had fired upon him and,
as it was then supposed, inflicted
mortal wounds. He has since re
covered, and his case was called up
in the Rockdale superior court,
Judge Stewart presiding, on Thurs
day morning. His counsel put in a
plea of not guilty, and also that
Thomas was insane at the time of
the alleged incendiarism.
After other evidence was intro
duced to show his insanity, Marston
himself was put on the stand and
testified substantially to the follow
ing eflect: It was a sworn allega
tion, by the way, that he was always
of a weak mind. Marston testified
that three years ago, at a revival in
Conyers, he went up with the
mourners to the altar, and there,
thinking it the coirect thing, pro
ceeded to shed a few tears. The
brethren rushed to him, declared
him gathered to the fold and took
him into the church. Afterwards
he was never satisfied with himself
or the condition of things in Con
yers. He did not know how to get
out of the influences that surround
ed him. He heard of a holiness
camp-meeting near his town and
went to it to see if there was any
different people professing than
those about Conyers. He found
them all the same. About that time
he fell in love with a young lady in
the neighborhood. He did not tell
her of his affection, but was satis
fied that she knew of it. On one
occasion he climbed a cherry tree
on her father’s place, and left his
coat in the tree as a sign that he had
been there. When he came back
again the coat was gone and he was
satisfied she had taken it, and ap-
preciatingthe situation, had kept it
as a souvenir. Later he went to the
graveyard and while placing a
wreath of flowers over the grave of
his sweetheart’s - grandmother, itap-
peared to him that the tombstones
were not placed in accordance with
the virtues of the deceased. He
then .went all over the graveyard
and transferred from one place to
the other the monuments, placing
the lofty slabs over the humble
graves, until he thought a proper
level had been reached. His idea
was that it had been held that the
grave leveled all things, the appear
ance ot the cemetery did not indi
cate it, and that he had a call to
make all things equal. Afterwards
he became crazy to get out of the
church, and he destroyed the Meth
odist building for two reasons:
First, to get out of the church; and
second, because he believed there
were too many churches in Con
yers. He further stated on the
stand at his trial that he was Christ
and King and would rule for a
thousand years and there was no
power here to kill him, or to confine
him unless he was willing. His
trial lasted two days. The prosecu
tion on the part of the state was
conducted by Solicitor-General
Waimack, and the counsel for the
defense were Judge A. C. McCau
ley and Col. George Gleaton. Thos.
Martson was adjudged insane, and
by decree of the court was ordered
to be confined in the insane asylum
at Milledgeville. ^

Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 3.—
The public journals have already
published particulars of the execu
tion of Joe Bogard, at Lonoke, on
the 27th of August, for the rape Of
the eleven-year-old daughter of a
farmer named Rhea. Mr. George
Sibley, a leading lawyer of Lonoke
county, who was appointed by the
court to defend the negro, is now in
the city. He reports positively that
although the negro was suspended
in the air forty minutes and was
pronounced dead he is alive to-day.
The negro was raised near Des Arc,
in Prairie county, and after the exe
cution his body was delivered’to his
father, who started in a wagon with
the corpse for his home. Before
proceeding far he was nearly fright
ened out ot his wits by hearing a
jroan escape from the lips of the
iody. One of his companions pour
ed some whisky down the throat of
the supposed corpse, and in less
than an hour Joe Bogard had open
ed his eyes, and by the time his
father’s home in Prairie county was
reached he was able to get out of
the wagon without assistance. Sher
iffjReinhardt, of Praitie county, ac
cording to Sibley’s story, first heard
Bogard had returned to ■ life from

Dalton Citizen: A prominent and
intelligent gentleman of Whitfield
county has recently been engaged
n a novel and .rather solemn pur-
isuit, th»t of superintending the dig
ging of his own grave. He has se
lected tor his last resting place a ro
mantic and quiet spot, remote from
the jarring noise of the busy world
and has had the crypt, which will
receive' his mortal remains, nicely
cemented and enclosed with an iron
railing- Although in the evening
of his life, this eccentric 'gentleman
is still hale .and hearty, and has flat
tering prospects of a still longer ex
istence.
any of the old-time cowboys in
this section resented the idea of
making hay, and some of them
quitted the business in disgust when
asked to go into the field for that
purpose. One of the dissatisfied
members of the fraternity was Alex
Thebold, a man who considered
himself one ot the toughest on the
range. He made a good deal of the
haymakers, and whipped a few of
them in fist fights when they under
took to reply to his taunts. After a
while he got a reputation as a pugil
ist, and one man after another
whom he encountered was polished
off in fine style.
“I will teach you tenderfeet and
haymakers a new art,” he said. “In
our day we shot and shot to kill, but
it will never do for you to try that
on. Don’t you fool with the weap
ons. Learn to defend yourself with
the fists. That is all you will ever
need. Put away your guns and I’ll
show you how the thing is done.”
After he had whipped every cow
boy in the camp and found himself
too big for the company he was in,
some one suggested that he ought
to go out into the states and travel
on his muscle. Everybody agreed
that that was the proper thing to
do. He had gained all the glory he
could among the cowboys, and all
that he now lacked was recognition
outside. He fell in with the idea
very quickly, and some of the boys,
seeing a chance to get him into
trouble, proposed that a subscrip
tion be taken up to take him to
Denver and prepare him for a match
with a local bruiser. He assented
to the scheme, and a few days ago,
accompanied by four or five of the
boys, he left for that city.
Once there, Thebold announced
himself as the cowboy knocker, and
claimed that he could whip anything
that went on two feet. The city
sports looked him over, pronounced
him good, and persuaded Johnny
Clow, the champion of Colorado, to
make a match with him. The cow
boys put up the money for Thebold,
and one night last week was select
ed for the mill, the place chosen be
ing a base ball park on the outskirts
of the town. The men and their
backers proceeded thither at mid-1
night. The moon was shining, and '
it was light enough to see prettv
well.
While the seconds were arrang
ing the preliminaries the cowboys
began to hope Alex would not kill
the other fellow at the first blow.
“Oh, I won’t murder him.” The
bold said, confidently, “but I’ll show
him what kind of battering rams
they rear on Crazy Woman’s Fork.
I’ll just spoil him, and then call for
another one. I don’t want to use
up all my fun in a minute.”
When time was called the Colora
do champion man jumped into the
ring quietly and Thebold hounded
in with an air of defiance. They
shook hands, and then the cowboy
began to dance up and down. Pret-
’ soon he made a terrific lunge at
low and struck him a stinging
blow on the nose, drawing blood,
but leaving his own head unguard
ed. Clow was staggered for an in
stant by the suddenness and force
of the blow, but recovering himself,
he hit the cowboy a crusher on the
left ear and followed it up as quick
as lightning with another bone
breaker on the neck.
Thebold sat down, got up, walked
around a little, holding his head in
both hands, and trying to assume a
perpendicular position, and then
said:
“Boys, I believe that truss has
broken my neck. He’s jus't one too
many for me on this round-Mp. Take
me home.”
All hands did their bet it to per
suade him to try it again, but he res
olutely refused.
“I’m not very well, and I didn’
suppose you had any svich knockers
as that fellow is. I’m going back
to Fetterman,”
_ The boys brought him home, and
since then half a dozen of them have
.whipped him, and others .are com
ing ia *0 try their hands.
