UNCLE SAM’S SOLDIERS
ACTED UGLY IN ATLANTA
One day last week while about
eighty recruits were upending the
afternoon in Atlanta,having side
tracked there for a little rest, be;
Ingen route from New York to
San Francisco from where they
will go to the Phillipines, a num
ber of the soldier boys broke out
of their cars, and soon found the
“blind tiger” and proceeded to
tank up. or in other words they
got gloriously drunk, hiul became
so boisterous and insulting that
the police had to use their clubs,
and worse still when two of the
“drunks” were knocked down the
trouble became general, and it
was found necessary for a detach
ment of soldiers to be culled out
from Ft. McPhoreaon to assist the
police in restoring quiet.
In the general “go ’round” one
of the recruits was HO latdly stubb
ed with a knife it was necessary to
send him to a hospital. One or
two were “jugged,” while many
others carried away broken noses,
bruised faces, blackened eyes, etc.
All this happened in Atlanta,
and to think how little time the
boys used in locating the “tige.”
it must have been a wholesale es
tablishment, as it takes quite a
large amount of booze to till a 1 it
of dry soldiers.
As much “interest” as Judge
Broyles and other officers take in
the boys around Atluntu yot there
are those who will keep the “tige”
flourishing, just the same.
ENGINEER AND FIREMAN
KILLED ON THE S. A. L.
Saturday night last about 1”
o’clock, four miles east of Lump
kin, Ga., the eastbound night
passenger train was derailed while
going up u grade at only about lb
miles an hour. The engine, ten
di r and one freight cur were
thrown from the track, killing un
gineer 0. J. Uilstrap and his ne
gro fireman, both of whom lived
in Amorims.
From the slow speed at which
ho was driving Ins engine it is be
-1 loved that Mr. Uilstrap was feel
ing his way up the grade, knowing
that a trestle was ahead, and lie
also knew heavy rains hud boon
falling and he thought perhaps a
washout might be a short distance
away, and, sure enough there was,
but being on a curve he could not
see it. in time to bring his engine
to a standstill, consequently the
engine toppled over into the water
catching both the engineer and
fireman underneath killing them
instantly, their bodies being bad
ly mangled.
Mr. Uilstrap was known by sev
eral Ml. Vernon people, and the\
were sorry indeed to hear of hi
sad passing* out.

ENGINEER DEWBERRY
GAVE UP LIFE FOR OTHERS
Passenger train No. 88 on the
Southern was wrecked Sunday af
ternoon, and us a
Benj. F. Dewberry ot Atlanta,and
his negro fireman, May son Wad-j
kins, gave up their lives in a most
horrible manner.
The train left Atlanta north
bound Sunday afternoon at 12:40
o’clock, and under the guiding
hand of Engineer Dewberry, one
of the ablest as well as the oldest
engineer on the road in point of j
time of service, was maintaining
its fast schedule, when the engine I
and forward coaches left the rails, I
and owing to the tremendous im- 1
jietiis, the track was torn up for!
some 200 yards.
The moment Mr. Dewberry saw
something was wrong he reversed
his lever and applied the emer
gency brakes, by this lie did all
in his power to save the lives in
his care, and in this he was won-i
derfully successful—not a passen
ger on his heavily loaded train
was killed, but of course, all on
board received a severe slinking
up, and perhaps a few slight
bruises.
The exact cause of the wreck is
not known, but some argue that
the large iron bolt which was
found on or near the track had
worked loose and fell from the en
gine on to the track, while others
are of the opinion that the bolt
was placed there by some enemy
of the road, and some seem to
think that it was placed there by
some small boy, not dreaming of
the seriousness of such a tiling.
The officers ot t lie mad and also
detectives are working on the mat
ter.
The following was the last mes
sage sent by the brave man who
stuck to his post of duty to save
others, till he was so badly burned
with water and steam that great
pieces of flesh fell from his body
while being moved from under the
monster engine :“Jast tell my wife
that 1 am hurt, but not so very
bad,” lie insisted. “1 hate to
think how worried she's going to
be.”
Mrs. Dewberry went out to the
wreck on the relief train, arriving
in time to bid her husband good
bye. He was unable to speak to
her, but. smiled agreoting through
his bandages.
The scene at the terminal sta
tion when the body was brought
home and other relatives met the
bereaved wife w as touching.
Just before leaving home Sun
day Mr. Dewberry called his step
daughter to the piano and had her
play his favorite, “Nearer My
God to Thee,” Mr. Dew berry join
ed in tin' singing.
