ARTIST IS JAILED UPON
CHARGE OF YOUNG GIRL
Assault and Battery Alleged
in Warrant
Artist D. F. Stephenson, for several
years a resident of Americus and who
has a studio in the Barlow block, spent
Sunday and Monday in the county jail
upon a warrant charging assault and
battery upon a young girl, a resident
of Houston county and a visitor here.
Considerable interest and a bit of
breezy excitement resulted when it
became known that Mr. Stephenson
was in jail, and upon the charge pre
ferred in the warrant.
In lieu of a bond of SI,OOO he has
spent two days in custody.
Further zest Was given the case
when it was reported that the irate
father of the young girl had made a
very speedy trip from his home up in
Houston to Americus by automobile,
and was upon a still hunt for Artist
Stephenson with the evident purpose
of personal satisfaction.
(However true that may have been,
the Houston farmer did not find him,
and Mr. Stephenson suffered no per
sonal violence upon that score.
According to stories generally cir
culated, the young lady avers that she
went to the Stephenson studio to have
some photos taken; that while in the
studio the artist attempted to care 33
her very fervently in an osculatory
way, at the same time putting his
arms about her.
The girl declares that she resented
this alleged manifestation of ardor and
left the studio. Next day she returned
to her home, and the story was told
there.
Then it was that her father burned
gasoline in a spebdy record run down
to Americus to see the artist person
ally, it is said.
His arrest followed and he has
since been in jail unable to make the
required bond of SI,OOO.
Mr. Stephenson was seen yesterday
and asked for a statement of the affair.
He makes emphatic denial of the
story in toto, except the fact that the
young girl did come to have pictures
taken. He declares stoutly that he
did not touch her, but treated her
with the greatest respect.
He was at his supper table, two
days after the alleged assault and
battery affair, when arrested and
locked up. He has employed counsel
and will make vigorous defense of the
charge against him.

The woman with good intentions
isn't the type that appeals most to the
average man.
The only woman who can embarass
a man is the one who understands him
thoroughly.
The fellow who loses seldom offers
odds to get even.

never wears tight shoe?.
ANNISTON WAS TERRIFIED
BY CRAZED DESPERADO
Patrolman Killed and Chief
Wounded
(Special to The Times-Ri-corder.)
Anniston, Ala., June 2ts.—Anniston
was the scene Sunday afternoon of a
desperado's terrorization that for a
time had the entire city aroused, when
Chief of Police Nath Glosson was
shot and slightly wounded and Patrol
man J. L. Cunningham was shot and
killed by John McGuffrey, an ex-con
vict and man of general bad reputa
tion.
When the police officers were sum
moned to McGuffrey’s house by
neighbors who were alarmed at the
manner in which the man was beating
his wife, the desperado met them with
a rain of -bullets from ,a Springfield
rifle, which formed his sole weapon of
defense. Patrolman Cunningham was
shot and so severely wounded that he
died later where he lay on the ground,
-McGuffrey’s fusilade from the house
preventing any attempt to render aid
to the wounded man.
Chief of Police Glosson received
only a slight flesh wound, which will
not. prove troublesome. Twenty-nine
bullet holes were found in the body of
a civilian’s automobile, which was
abandoned in.front of MeGuffrey's
home, together with the hospital am
’/ulance which came to render succor
to the wounded patrolman. Still des
perate and ready for any adventure,
McGuffrey was endeavoring to escape
in one of the automobiles when he
was shot to pieces by the sheriff's dep
uties who had come to the rescue of
the city officers. All was q||iet in the
vicinity at midnight Sunday night.
Patrolman Cunningham was inter
red Monday with high honors, both
by the city officials, by whom he was
greatly loved, as well as by a number
of fraternal orders of which he was a
prominent member. He leaves a wife
and several chtildren.

ADVERTISING MATTER IS
IN HANDS OF PRINTER
Will Soon Be Shipped to Dis
tributing Points
The advertising matter from the
Board of Trade that is soon to be dis
tributed from Providence, R. 1., to
Americus, all up and dowlf the Atlan
tic seaboard, went to the printer yes
terday. It will soon be in type and
upon paper, ready to he forwarded to
Messrs. Hooks and Rylander, who
will make the trip in their car from
the Rhode Island city to Sumter coun
ty.
In the main the matter will consist
of a crisp, concise and well written
four page folder, a large number of
which will be gotten out for this work.
The brief folder serves a two fold pur
pose; first, it is so condensed and at
tractive that it fairly invites reading,
second, its brevity reduces the cost of
printing to such a price that a large
number of the folders may be profit
ably and economically distributed ni
this unique way.
The new folder has been prepared
cn the same plan as the two-page fold
er issued several years ago by the
Board of Trade. All the facts and vital
statistics contained in the former fold
er have been revised carefully, and to
them have been added many others,
such as references to the Anderson
ville-Thomasville Route, making ihe
circular complete and up-to-date.
The compiling and arrangement of
the new folder has been managed by
Secretary Clarence J. White, of the
Board of Trade, who will also super
intend the printing of the circulars, so
that they may be representative in the
best way of the splendid opportunities
offered by this city and section to
home-seekers from all quarters of the
nation.

Ask a Jackson avenue -citizen, who
on Saturday lost $25, whether adver

Sunday morning the finder, reading of
the lost money, returned It to the de
lighted owner. He risked 25 cents in
