' by Deputy Sheriff Lamar, Monday,
jj‘|l jbont II o'clock Tuesday morning
“ liei!r o was mado as comfortable
„ possible in tlio jail, and everything
' ible in the way of caroful nursing

which they bought. They also furnish-
td a neat coffin. After the coronor'
. „ |, K ,ked at the body shortly nftor
o'clock last night it was turned over to
,'le ,u-ad negro's friends and relatives
ctbo were waiting for it.
ts soon as the negro died it was dc-
c l Je d to hold an inquest. Coronor
Parker was sent for, hut there was some
delay about lidding him, ho being away
f rom home, so lie only reached the city
after ii o'clock yesterday afternoon.. He
immediately set about securing a jury
and shortly after 7 o'clock this jury was
j y carter. J. ii. Dunn, Charles Fitz
gerald. Graham Forrester, C. J. Haw
kins, U- 8. Lockett, J. L. Stack, W. G.
Itagan. IV. M. (lagan, John W. Walters,
11.1). Watts, C. Wilder
Cant II. I). Watts was elected fore
man and Mr. J. Ii. Dunn secretary. The
jurv then went to the jail to see the
body, after which it settled down to
business in the sheriff - s office.
Mr. T. H. Hooks was the first witness
called. He testified that lie considered
the negro a dangerous character, that
Boynton had admitted to him stealing
the lings and intimated that he didn't
care if lie had. Hooks said he had
warned Mr. I.amar to ho careful in ap
proaching him. Then lie told how Mr.
Lamar went to the field after Iloynton
while lie went to the nogro’s house to
k-.e.i him from going there if lie ran.
Mr. Hooks met Mr. Lamar and his
prisoner near the road, heard Hoynton
tell the otlicer that he would come to
town that afternoon, saw him break and
run. heard Mr. I.amar tell him to stop or
lie would shoot and saw that gentleman
shoot up twice to frighten the negro
into stopping, when ho could have
placed his pistol within such closo rango
of the prisoner's head that lie could have
killed him instantly. The witness said
Boynton was-some forty yards away
when the shot that took effect was fired
and that lie was running rapidly toward
his house. Mr. Hooks told how the
negro ran three-quarters of a mile after
being shot, almost outrunning he
and Mr. Lamar. Ha said that
he believed Hoynton was going
to his house after a weapon
and told lmwlie bad attempted to draw
his knife, even after ho was shot. The
witness considered the negro a desper
ate character and was satisfied Hoynton
would have used his weapons if lie had
secured them.
Hr. C. II. Kalncs testified ns to ‘he
wound ami its nature. He said he
could only probe tho wound a abort
distance and that the ball may have
glanced and passed just under the skin.
He gave it as Ids opinion that tho no-
gro'srun Imd materially Increased his
danger ami hastuned ids death and that
persons wounded in a like manner had
recovered.

on Hoynton at the jail told how Boynton

Tho Americas Lt«ht Infantry Returned
* Special Tbit Morning.
After a week’s stay at Chickamauga
the boys of the Americus Light Infantry
are at home again.
It was the programme for a rousing
crowd to turn out and welcome them
back, but they came, unexpectedly, at
an early.liour this morning, so that is n
go now.
It will he news to many of the people
of Americus to know that that the boy
are here.
They arrived at 1:30 this morning, on
a special train.
Coming unexpectedly as they did they
had no one to welcome thorn home. The
Timeb-Ukcobiiku night force and the
morning watch of the police force, how
ever, greeted them as dust covered and
fagged out they matched up Forsyth
street to the armory.
Liout. Harper left the company at
Koine for a pleasure trip off, so the boy
returned tinder command of I,ieu;
Clarke,
They broke camp and left Cidcka
tnauga yesterday . morning, about 10
o clock. It was found that unless
arrangements were made for a special
train they would have to stop over all
night en route. Tile wires were called
into use. A special train was socured,
and tlie company arrived as lias been
tated.
A pleasant, profitable week is report
ed. it was work all the way through,
however. The hoys all liked Chicka
mauga. They say it is awfully warm
there during* the day, hut the nights
were very pleasant, indeed.
Scvoral of them were sick while in
camp, but it was only such sickness as
was brought about by a change of water
and climate, and Surgeon Hinkle soon
brought thorn around again, right side
up with care. They are especially
elated over tho good work of tho com
missary department, Quarter Master
Sliivaj foeding them better than any
company in camp was fed.
They are heartily glad to get hack to
Amoricus again and say they have not
struck a place like this.

Richland, June 30.—Richland has re
covered from tho effects of the barbecue,
and resumed her progress in improve
ments. The Lewis block is ncating com
pletion and ground was broken to-day
for anotbor largo two-story block on
south side of Broad street, containing
six stores, ami will soon begin to build.
Besides these two other blocks will
soon be ^commenced, in addition to
these business houses, residences aro
springing up like magic all over tho city.
The music of the saw and the
hammer is heard in every pare
of the town and to see tho
(Inc business blocks and stately and tasty
residences going up one would think
that hard times had left lUchland alone.
Our merchants are keeping up with
tho times, our warehousemen are pre<

season, and all preparing to double our
population in tho next twelve months.

Huston, June 20.—A stormy meeting
of the eastern creditors of Stephen A.
Kyan, dealor In boots, shoes, dry goods,
clothing etc., at Atlanta, was held in
this city this afternoon, In the offices of
the American Hoot and Shoe Koporting
Company.
Mr. F. C. Lawrence, president of this
company, recently visited Atlanta in the
interest of creditors, nod gave tho meet
ing the result of his investigations.
Mr. Lawrence characterized the fail
ure ai a Iran I, an 1 slid it was si re
garded in Atlanta. Ho gave it as his
opinion that Mr. Kyan would pay only
what ho was compelled to pay, and
would not pay a cent it hecould possibly
avoid it.
A lively discission followed Mr. Liw-
rebec's leport, it finally being decided
to tight the case in tho criminal c ntrls
SO DEPUTY SHERIFF LAMAR SOUGHT
TO MAKE HIM.
Oh. Iloytitoti Shot Through the Rod
With a - Pistol—Ho Was SVanted for a
Polony -ml Attempted to Give lex
Rail—Radiy Hurt.
"Stop! Or I will shoot!"
That was the command given by
by Deputy Sheriff Lamar to Gus Boyn
ton, colored, Monday morning, lie
heeded not tho command or the warning
which followed it. The result is tliathe
is terribly wounded.
Saturday Lumpkin Floyd came to the
city and swore out a warrant cltarging
the Boynton negro with hog stealing,
which crime, undor the Georgia laws, is
a folouy.
Tho warrant was turned over to Depu
ty Sheriff Lamar with instructions that
tlie accused negro lie arrested. Mon
day morning tho officer startod out to
accomplis that end. The negro lived
on Mr. T. B. Hooks' place, about six
inilCs out from tho city. There tlie
deputy sheriff went. Ho was warned
that Boynton was a dangorouscharacter
add was admonished not to let tlie negro
get any advantage.
Backed up by tlie warrant which
had, tlio deputy sheriff walked into tho
field wiicro the negro was working and
arrestod him. So resistance was offered
Boynton unhitched tlie mule from tlie
plow. He started to get on .the mule,
hut tlie officer would not let him. Then
tho two walked about a quarter of
mile to tlie road, tlie negro making no
effort to got away or anything of tlie
kind. Tho negro tied iris mule, then
turning suddonly about ho took to his
legs, saying:
“Captain, you can go on to town now
and tell them I'm coming after dinner.'
With that lie was off like tho wind
Deputy Sheriff Lamar called at him to
stop, using tlie words which begin this
article. That call was not heeded,
Thinking lie would scare the negro into
stopping the officer fired his pistol twice,
Kacli time tlie weapon was field up-
ards and no effort was made to lilt him
Again Boynton was told to stop. Again
he began to run fastor. Still intending
scare tlie negro, another siiot was
fired. It did no good,
ltp that Mme tlie negro was some forty
fifty yards ahead and gaining at overy
hound. Seeing that lie could only stop
Boynton in that way tho officer shot
once more. He took aitn that timo and
Boynton fell to the ground, with a dan
gerous wound in his hack.
Tlie pistol used is a 32 calibre, Smith
& Wesson, liammorlcss ono. Tlie ball
entered tho hack of tho uogro, barely to
tlie left of tlie backbone, in tho small of
tho back and lodged tho least bit to tho
right of tlie centre of tlie stomach, where
it can bo plainly felt.
As soon ns it was found that Gus was
shot as bad as he was a wagon was
driven up and lie was brought on to tho
city and placed in jail, whore everything
that can he dope for him will bo done.
Dr. C. B. ltaines, tho county physician is
attending him and anabio bodied man
is kept there to look after his every
want.
When he was shot the negro was in n
short distance of his house where
Doputy Sheriff Lamar and others are
confident ho was making to got a gun to
shoot the officer, such ■ desperate char
acter. Anyway, Mr. Lamar thinks he
did all ho could under the circum
stances, though no one could possibly
regret tlie shooting more than lie.
Is It Hi,l Enough Jor You?
For the hem-lit of tlie man who de
lights to frame that query it is stated
that the teu days from Juno 13 to June
2.3 were not as warm tills year as they
were last. Oil some of these days tlie
thermometer lias registered anywhere

New One la the (JuMtloii-lt la Claimed
That About Two 1’rloea are Aftked For
the Road—-That, or Whiff
The street railroad matter is still an
important topic in Americus.
There is but littlo room to doubt that
Americus is to liavo a stroot railroad,
with the cars on it rnnniug. But wlietli
er she will keep the one she has de
pends. Tliore is one point, and an all
important one it is too, in tho way of
the present road being kept here. That
is tlie price asked for it.
Some of tho best husiooss men iu
Americus, some of the mon who would
certainly he interested in tlie road say-it
is not worth more than ill.">,000 and that
for that amount they can replace it
witli a road much better
A gentleman who is well posted said
that tlie read is not wortli more tiian
$11,000 to movo it. Ho figured liko
this: Five and a half miles of rail at
$1,500 a mile; that being tlie price at
which the S., A. A- M. road recently sold
many miles ol such rail; which amounts
to $8,250. Copper and wire $2,730. This
gentleman says it would cost more to
take down, movo and pay tlio freight on
tlie poles than they aro wortli. Then lie
goes in to figure that it will cost from
one to throe thousand dollars, to he sure
of being on the safo side ho said $1,300,
to pay thu freight on tlie iron and wire
and for tlio work of getting tliom ready
for sliipmont, making $9,300 tlio aotual
sum that tlio outfit would ho wortli in
Macon.
Another gentleman told tho reporter
that an offer to sell the road for $23,000
was made before tlie receiver's sale,
Some of tlie best men in Americus
say that tlie best tiling that can he done
for tlio city is to lot tlio present road be
moved as speedily as possibio, to make
room for one that is froo from all trick
ery and tho flavor of a “job.”
Mr. Kcnpy, who bought tlio road in
for Mr. Morse, was seen again yesterday.
He informed tho reporter that tho salo
had been confirmed and recorded. Ho
also Baid that ho had instructions from
Mr. Morse not to consider any offer of a
lesser sum than $33,000, not oven an
offer of $34,000. Ho said that ho was
making no bluff, that the road would
positively not be sold for any loss. Uo
avowed that the road cost $80,000, say
ing that one of the largest itoms in the
cost was putting it down.
Mr. Kenny doesn’t con.ider the lease
plan feasible, so he said. Ho says that
unless a company could give a bond
backed by somo of the large trust com
panies of tho country tiiat Mr. Morse
could not think of accepting it as
security for any loss to ids property that
might result from an accident and an
accompanying damage suit, from the
fact that if an Individual bond was given
all the signors might he dead or bank
rupt within a weok.
He said that he considered $33,000 n
very low price for the road.
Those who would likely buy consider
an exceedingly high price, and there
where the bitch comee. He says he
won't sell for their price. They say
they won’t pay his price.
The matter Is more than likely to ond
Amoricus having street cars.
Whether they will run on tlio presont
road or on another is, however, tlie per-
pcrplexing question.
Many favora lease if anything like the
proper terms can ho made, hut they
ant that only on a valuation of $13,000.

The Growth ol the Bouth.
Statistics are said to be dull and
stupid. That may be true as a gen
eral thing, but when you take an In
ventory of your property and
find that you are worth just three
times as muck as you were ten years
ago, then figures become more fasci
nating than poetry and more thrill
ing than oratory.
The South will back us up In these
statements. When it pulled Itself
together after the war It found It had
nothing but bankruptcy aud pluck
Am capital in trade. Its motto was;
“The past is nowhere, the future is
everywhere," and It drew its belt
one hole tighter aud started in the
race.
The statistics which represent its
progress are as exhileratiug and
cheering na old wine. Its coal out
put twenty years ago was about
2,000,000 tons, and now it is nearly
Oglethorpe was all excitement Mon
day afternoon.
The cause of this was the killing of a
10 year old white boy by lightning and
and tho murder of a 17 year old negro
boy by hls own brother.
The details of both affairs are (hook
ing and indeed they are calculated to
excite the unusually quiet little town to
the highest pitch. From a gentleman
who was In Oglethorpe .yesterday a
Tisiks-Kkcoiuiku reporter loarned this
story of the two fatal happenings.
About 1 o'clock Monday a terrible
thunder storm hold sway in and about
Oglothorpo. One particularly vivid flash
of lightning followed almost Immediate
ly by an almost deafening peal of thun-
dor alarmed tho people very much and
they expected to hear of some work of
devastation that had been done. Little
were they prepared, however, for what
they did hear.
Somo six miles to the south of Ogle
thorpe, noar a little settlement called
Fountainville, is the farm of Mr. John E.
Itobinson, a well-to-do planter, who la
known in Americus. Shortly before the _
thunder-storm came up tlie hands bad
gono to ono of tlio fields to commence
work after tho rest given for their
noonday meal.
Among the number was Mr. Koblnson's
10 year old son, whoso name could not
bo learnud.
When tho flash of lightning spoken of
above sumo the boy was hoeing cotton.
He died with that hoe in his hands. He
was at work In nn open field, with no
trees, or anything, about that was calcu
lated to specially attract lightning. But
the deadly bolt seems to have tingled
him out. The electric fluid struok him,
and soomod to cover him from head to
foot. Before the thunder had sounded
its loud and revorberating peal he was
dead, with the hoe In his hands.
Tho news spread like wild-fire over
Oglothorpo as spon as a messenger ar
rived announcing the lad’s death, for
the boy was well known an& popular
there
The excitement was augmented when
a messongor arrived shortly afterward
saying that John Edwards had been
killed by hit brother Will Edwards.
Quite a coincidence it was, too, that this
messenger also had to make a journey of
about six miles. He came, however,
from exactly tho opposite direction In
which the other had come.
Will and John Edwards are negroes,
and in John's life they were brother*.
The ono is 15 years old, while the other
was 17. These boys were working on
the same place and Sunday afternoon
they were told to carry the stock to
water. A dispute and fight sprang up;
something shout who should ride; In the
course of which Will drew hls knife and
dealt his brother several dangerous
gashes in the stomach and breast.
The wounded boy lingered until yea-
torday afternoon, when he died. Will I*
now In Jail, charged with John's murder.
Thus closed Oglethorpe’s exoHMig
chapter of casualties.
