He died Saturday night at 9:30
o'clock, at the Washington Hotel,
on Walton street, in Atlanta. His
death was caused from pneumonia,
w ith which he was ill for only ten
days. A fall in an open ditch in
the street, his breast striking vio
lently the opposite bank as he
went in, is thought to have super
induced the attack. His malady
seemed to have fastened itself with
unshakable hold upon him, it being
pronounced at the first double
pneumonia. His life was despaired
of by those knowing his case early
after the attack. All that physical
skill aud loving attention could
offer was done for him. His wife,

with hitn during his illness.

whose references to the younf
man’s life and his noble traits o
character deeply touched all hearg
ers. He spoke of Mr. Mays’ favor
ite song, ‘‘Some Day we Will
Understand,” and as Mrs. A. B.
Cunyus pathetically sang the beau
tiful song all eyes were moistened
with the dews of soriow.
The floral tributes were many
and beautiful. Among them was
one from business associates bear
ing the inscription “With Tender
est Love from the Employees of
acobs.”
Among those who came up from
Atlanta to attend the funeral were
Dr. Whitaker and Mr. Waddell.

was also present.
The Knights of Pythias turned
out in large force, there being

SAD ACCIDENT, ‘
On&ast and West Railroad—Blanton
Frazler Killed.
The many friends of Conductor
John Frazier sympathize with him
in the loss of his son, who nret with
the terrible accident last week of
being crushed under the cars. The
Cedartown Standard has this
regarding the accident:
west bound passenger
train On the E. & W. railroad
which reaches Pell City, Ala.,
at about 5 o’clock, with Con
ductor John Frazier in charge,
had just reached its destination and
was doing some switching, placing
a car. Blanton, Mr. Frazier’s son,
a young man about 17 years of
age, who bad just begun flagging
for his father, was making the
coupling aud in some way stumb
led over a pile of cinders on the
track, causing the train to strike
him, knocking him under the
wheels. The train passed over his
right leg, cutting it off near the
thigh. Telegrams were at once sent
to Dr. J. A. Liddell, the road’s sur
geou, and he, in company with Dr.
Chapman, lelt on a special train
for the scene of the accident. The
injured young man was placed on
the special and brought back to
Cedartown and all that medical
science could do was done to al
leviate his sufferings, but just at
the dawn of day his spirit winged
its way out into the great beyond.
Mr. Frazier aud family have the
sympathy of all their friends in
their sad affliction. May the all
wise Creator sustain and give them
strength to bear their loss.
BLIZZARD IS RAGING-
Terrible Weather In Western States
—Disastrous Results
Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 26. —The
coldest weather of the winter, with
the thermometer at zero all day
and a howling north wind, covers
all Oklahoma. Possibly nowhere
else in the southwest will its sev
erity be so great. The weather has
been so spring-like for the past
mouth that the sudden change will
play havoc with cattle iu all por
tions of the territory,the wheat crop
will also suffer loss, as not enough
snow has accompanied the blizzard
to protect the rank growth. Iu
the new country settlers, and es
pecially those in moving wagons
of which there are hundreds, will
suffer. 111 the Indian Territory,
principally in the creek nation,
where the full bloods are in des
titute circumstances, the condi
tions are very bad for undergoing
the rigors of such w r eather. In this
cour> ry are many whiter, prospect
ive settlers without funds and
friends.
IN NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Neb., Jan 26. —Predict-
ions made last night as to probable
disastrous effect of the blizzard
which laged all day yesterday and
last night were partially verified
in the reports received here today
and tonight from points in Nebras
ka. What seems a remarkable condi
tion exists in the vicinity of Ogal
alla, where the storm was more se
vere than in any portion of the
state, except the northwest quar
ter. It was expected that the losses
among cattle in that district would
be enormous, but authentic reports
received from several points in
the cattle district, affirm that act
ually no loss was sustained,the cat
tle finding necessary shelter. Re
ports from the northwest portion of
the state are not so flattering, how
ever, while those from Kimball and
Banner counties, the farthermost
counties on the west side of the
state, indicate that heavy losses
have occurred.
So far no loss of life has been
reported as a result of the storms.
Traffic on all roads is still delayed
somewhat.trains arriving from two
to six hours late.

Goods Taken From an Acworth
Store, Peddled Out '
YOUNG NEGRO THIEF CAUGHT-.
Woman With Whom He Board fed
Gives Information That Leads tc
D scoV. ry of Stolen Good*.
Will Albright, a young negro
man about 22 years of age, was
arrested in this city last Saturday
by Deputy Marshal Charles Sorrels,
of Acworth, assisted by Marshal J.
A. Henderson, His sporty appear
ance, made up from pilfered arti
cles and cool manner npticeable by
those who casually eyed him on
tho-street could hardly beget the
supposition that he was hot from
the scene of his last exploit.
Friday morning the negro wo
man in Acworth with whom AF
bright boarded went to Mr. Orlan
do Awtrey, who had been missing
goods from his store, and told him
her guest wascarrying things there
in piles, and as they might be his
he had better investigate, Mr. Awt
rey, with officers, went to the house
and found about S3OO worth of
goods easily identified as his. Some
fine overcoats had his name on
the collar.
Tiie negro had come to this city
evidently to make a sale.
He told of a store in Cartersville
where had sold some goods Christ
mas eve night. The officers went
with him there and the proprietor
pointed out a lot of goods valued
at about $35 he had bought from
the negro for $4. hut he was afraid
there was something wrong and he
put them aside.
At a negro store another pile
was found.
The negro went to Acworth from
Dallas four months ago. He was
arrested soon for selling second
hand clothing without a license
and was let off by the
mayor with a nominal fine. This
incident in connection with later
developments has proven that the
negro has been doing a systematic
thieving business from then until
now. Mr. Awtrey has been missing
goods but as there were no signs ot
his store having been broken open,
he was at a loss to account for their
disappearance. It is believed the
negro had a key that he used. In
quiry shows that be has sold goods
at Dallas, Smyrna, Emerson and
in this city, doing a systematic
peddling business among small
concerns, and it is belieyed that al
together he has stolen from Mr.
Awtrey as much as $2500 worth of
goods.
He had on when caught, a full
outfit of new clothes from the
Awtrey stock.

killed Espasia Smith, at Adairs
ville, last October, was tried in the
superior court last week on the
charge of murder.

Judge J W. Harris and Col.
Albert Johnson represented the
defendant and Col. Sam Maddox,
tne solicitor, assisted by Judge J.
M. Neel and Col. T. C. Milner,

when a book agent with a life of
McKinley came in and tried to sell
the book to Smith who spoke
harshly of the president and the re
publicans, when Paris remonstrat
ed, saying his father was a repub
lican. Smith drew a pistol, which
was taken away from him by Cox.
He went home and got another
and returned with his brother.
The two men started to the Cox
store and Paris was on the side

tol when Paris shot him.
The jury was out but a little
while and brought iu a verdict of
“not guilty.”
