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.
