The bandits crossed tlie Rio Grande
at a point due south of Fort Han

of the opproach of the bandits was
taken to the commander of Troop F.

The Mexicans, when they learned
the American trdepers were after
them, turned and started back across
the river, according to the report. It
is beligved that all of the Mexicans

' CLAY TAKES CHARGE A
OF INQUIRY IN COBB
The investigation of the Wurm
death mystery Monday morning was
placed almost wholly in the hands
lof Herbert Clay, of Marietta, Solicitor
of the Blue Ridge Circuit. The body
was found on the Cobb county side of
the river and the inquest was to be
held in Marietta at 10 o’clock.
An autopsy, planned to determine
whether wounds found on the body
had been inflicted before or after
death, was to be held "if ordered by
Solicitor Clay. .
It was thought likely that Solicitor
would call for this evidence at the
inquest, and Dr. C. E. Dowman, the
Wurm family’s physician, waited at
the Patterson undertaking parlors in
Atlanta for word from Mr. Clay.

‘A personal difficulty took place this

man.
Mr. Blackmon had left a wagon at
the Miller establishment to be repair
ed, and he overheard Mr. Miller mak
ing what he construed as a slighting
remark about the wagon. He question
ed Mr, Miller on the subject and the
conversation rapidly developed into
personalities. )
Blackmon claimed that Miller strurk
him. He drew his knife and cut at
him. The knife struck Mr. Miller in
the chest ‘and inflicted a flesh wound
that, while painful, will not prove se
rious. :
Coniferous timber has been found'
to be better suited than any other for

GOVERNOR'S RAGE
Atlanta, August 2.—With sentiment
in the governor’s race rapidly crystal
izing recently, it is‘zpparent that Dy.
L. G. Hardman is leading thhe field.
The first to announce, he began“early
and has waged an aggressive -cam
paign carrying it directly to the peo
‘ple. He has visited practically every
county in the state, which is gredtly
to his advantage, as e makes a fine
impression and.gains strength wher
ever h_e goes.
Dr. Hardman’s style of campaigning
appeals to the people because of the
high plane upon which he bases it.
Making no reference to the other can
didates, he simply presents his own
cause, dwelling on his legislative rec
ord and the principles and measures
he advocates, including law enforce
ment, increased educational opportun
ities, development of farming inter
ests, complete separation of church
and state, biennial sessions-of the leg
islature, a strict business administra
tion of state affairs, and. many other
matters of vital concern,
~ Of lofty character and large affairs,
Dr. Hardman is. distinguished by emi
nent success in al] his own ‘%roi’ession
al, business, and a'gricultu;;al undertak
ings, and a career of brilliant. public
service, having been the author of
much legislation promoting agricul
tural interests and the general wel
fare. A business man and Christian
statesman, his motto is: “First the
people themselves, then their affairs,
both safely guarded.”
Beginning this race with the practi
cally solid backing of those who.gup:
ported him two years ago, when he
carried sixty counties and barely miss
ed a number of others, Dr. Hardman
had a running start, and late reports
from various sections now indicate
that he will carry the state by a sweep.

IN NEED OF POSTOFFICE.
Moultrie, July 31.—That Uncle Sam
Leiieves in . ning aobut some of his
Lasiness affairs with almost exagger
ated deliberation is indicated by the
fact that nothing has been done to
ward the erection of a postoffice build
ing here, though $65,000 was appro
priated for this purpose in 1912. The
sit%yhich the building is to adorn
was bought over three years ago. Sev
eral times it has been stated that
work would begin on the structure
within a few weeks and recently word
came down from: Washington that Con
gressman Park had put through a bill
providing for the work on the building
‘to be taken up out of the regular or
der, later information is, however, to
the effect that the situation is just
like it was after the late Congress
man Roddenbery secured the appro
priation four years ago and that it
may be two years before the contract
is awarded. :
- The building used for the postoffice
is entirely inadequate and the Moultrie
people will call upon Senator Smith
and Hardwick to see if they can prod
Uncle Sam along.
RATTLERS PLENTIFUL.
Thomasville, July 31.—The wet
weather seems to have had the ef
fect of making rattlesnakes more plen
tiful than usual and several skins
along with the rattles were being ex
hibited on the streets here yesterday
by men from the country who had
killed them in their fields. One man
brought in a live rattler in a box, that
he was trying to dispose of, but there
seemed to be no market for rattle
snakes. It is supposed that the wa
ter drove them out of their usual
stamping grounds up on the higher
land. 2 _
JOHN WURM SLAIN AND BODY
THROWN IN CHATTAHOOCHEE
Atlanta, July 30.—John Wurm was
murdered. His body has been found.
The young timekeeper of the At
lanta Steel company disappeared last
Sunday night, and search has been
‘made for him all over the southeast.
‘He was of an old and prominent At
lanta family. :
Half a dozen clues were exploded
in as many places when identity was
tested. This afternoon boaters found
a body lodged in growth_on the bank
of -the Chattahoochee river about a
mile above Pierce’s ferry, the bands
tightly tied with a piece of wire. Sev
eral gashes in his head and on his
face are taken to indicate a stmggle.
Identification was made postive de
spite the state of the body by a bound
notebook in one of the pockets.
The body was found on ¢he Cobb
county shore and an inquest will be
held at Marietta tomorrow morning
Fulton detectives have afeady taken
up the case.

STRIPLING IS OFFERED 4

Macon, July 31.—Edgar §. Stripling,
released ' from the state prison farm
at Milledgeville yesterday =at noon,
when his long-waited-for pardon was
received from Govi Nat E. Harris, ar
rived in Macon at 7:10 o’clock last
night over the Georgia railroad, en
route to his home'in Columbus.
To all appearances. Stripling was
as happy as a 3-year old baby as he
stepped from the ‘train at the - union
depot and receivied the congratula
tions of friends, who gathered about
him and shook his hand.
It was apparently with a great
deal of pride that Stripling produced
from his pocket a letter from ° the
president of the board of aldermen at:
Danville, Va., where he was serving as
chief of police at:the time of his ar
rest for the murder he was alleged to
have committed fourteen years before;
informing him that it he cared to re
turn to Danville he would fiind his form
