THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. THURSDAY. MARCH 10. 1910
MOTHtR OF 4 BABES
WI1HIN ONE YEAR.
Weighs 90_Pounds. Has a
Remarkable family.
Des Moines, la., March 4.—The most
remarkable family in Iowa la that
of Mr. and Mrs. George Norton, of
Osceola. ,
Not only did Mrs. Norton present
her husband with a boy baby leas than
a year ago, but the stork on Satur
day left a fine set of triplets at the
Norton home. They are all boys.
Carl, the brother of the triplets,
celebrated his first birthday yester
day. The only regret of the parents
Is that the triplets did not arrive a
■week later, so that the four might
have birthday celebrations on the same
day.
Mrs. Norton weighs ninety pounds.
It Is doubtful is another woman in
the world can boast of four healthy
sons born within a single year.
Mr. and Mrs. Norton live on a farm
outside of Osceola. Just at present
one might imagine that the farm is
a summer resort. Judging from the
crowds that have been going out to
gaze tij>on the extraordinary quartet.

THE LIST Of CHARGES
To Which Tku Suspects
Willi Answer.
The charge of stealing a sample
trunk at the Central depot, the prop
erty of a traveling man, and dispos
ing of its contents of fine goods
through a female ass'stant is another
charge booked yesterday against the
two white men now in Jail here.
The detained pair, J. L. Brett and
Marliu Hightower, were captured on
Saturday by tin police here upon
another charge.
The first booking was vagrancy and
to that the charge of simple larceny is
now added.
This pair were arrested for an ul
leged attempted assault upon a young
white girl near Americus on Saturday
last .one of the pair, it is alleged,
seizing the girl while the other held
a pistol.
Several nights ago a trunk wa3
stolen from the Central depot, and the
police now connect the two men, Brett
and Hightower, together with a wofan
said to be a sister of the latter, with
the affair. A warrant for the woman
has been issued.
The warrant charges the woman
with having receive^ the goods taken
Irom the trunk.
Sheriff Feagln thinks the two men
are wanted for other offenses recently
committed hereabout, and will hold
them accordingly. The attack upon
the young orphan girl boro Saturday
seems sufficient to convict one, If
not both, of the fellows.
Ober developments In the case are
expected, as the police propose go-
Ing to the bottom of the affair.

Supt. of Mjine Schools in
Amiiricus.
State Superintendent of Schools
Payson Smith, of the state of Maine,
was in the city yesterday and was
the guest of the Agricultural and
.Mechanioal' school. Maine is consid
ering the proposition of putting agri
cultural and mecbanlqpl training
schools In her state schools. Supt
Smith Is touring the South >to person
ally Inspect the high schools that are
including In their courses agriculture
and mechanical training.
Supt. Smith got a little mixed In
coming to Americus. It was all caus
ed by an error In the 1909 report of
the state school commissioner of
Georgia. Before leaving Augusta,
Me., Supt. Smith selected from the
reports ot the various state superin
tendents the places and schools that
he would visit.
Naturally he selected the Americus
agricultural school as the one Georgia
school that he would visit.
Here Is wbero the Maine man got
mixed. In the report referred
above, the report from the Third dis-
trist school, by some kind ot a mishap,
is credited to Supt. Acree, of the First
district. Mr. Smith came to Americus
from Birmingham. He visited one of
the state schools In Alabama and the
Tuskegee Institute. He went from
Americus to Jacksonville.
Supt. Smith spent tbe day at the
Third district school taking notes on
every department of the work. He
.thinks the school here Is closer
human life and human need than any
he has visited. Ho will recommend to
