WAYNESBORO, GEORGIA, MAY 4 1907.
EX-GOV, BOLLOCK
HAS PASSED AWAY
Dies at Family Homestead In
Aib oa, N. Y.
WAS SEVENTY-THREE YEARS OLD
During the Early Seventies Mr. Bul
lock Was Governor of the State of
Georgia for a Term of Years —Had
Been in Failing Health for Some
Time.
Buffalo, N. Y., April 27.—A dis
patch to the News from Albion, N.
Y., Saturday morning, says Rufus
B. Bullock, former governor of Geor
gia, died at the family homestead at
Albion, where he had resided since
the death of his wife, two years ago.
Mr. Bullock was 73 years of age,
and leaves a daughter, Mrs. Leon
ard Kendall, of Greenwich, Ga., and
a son, Freeman Bullock, of Omaha.
Former Governor Bullock had been
in failing health for some time. A
few days ago his condition became
critical and his son, Volney Bullock,
assistant postmaster at Atlanta, was
telegraphed to come to his bedside at
once.
Since that time he has been sinking
rapidly and his death, which occurred
Saturday morning, was not unexpect
ed .
The former chief executive’s health
began failing in 1900 and he visited
his old home in New York, return
ing to Atlanta in 1901. He seemed
much improved at that time by his
visit to the north.
A short time later his health again
gave way, and he decided to leave
-Atlanta and make his home perm a
nen'tly in Albion, N. Y.
Former Governor Bullock, who was
a native of New York, occupied one
of the foremost positions in the his
tory of Georgia, principally because
his career was during the reconstruc
tion times following the civil war.
He was a soldier of the confeder
acy, a delegate from Richmond coun
ty 'to the state constitutional conven
tion of 18G7, and governor of Georgia
from 18G8 to 1871. In civil life he
served as president of the National
Bank of Augusta, and was president
of the old Macon and Augusta Rail
road company.

there are many demands that have
not yet been sent to the state super

Fatal Tragedy in Mississippi.
Columbia, Miss., April 30. —Dr. C.
L. Buskin, a prominent physician ofi
this place, Monday shot and killed
George Woods, a young man. Woods’
father had been knocked down by Dr.
Buskin during a quarrel between the

FATAL FAMILY FEUD.
Terrible Outcome of Children’s Quar
rel Taken Up by Parents.
New Orleans, La., April 29. —Two
men dead and one fatally wounded and
two badly wounded Is the terrible
result of the fathers and relatives of
two small boys taking up a child’s
quarrel which the youngsters were
settling wi;h their fists at school ex
ercises.
Dead: Cad Checalier and Henry
T. Clark.-
Fatally injured: Truman Clark and
Mr. McCnn.
Badly wounded: W. H. Sayes, and
slightly wounded, S. T. Shannon.
The tragedy occurred at Vick, La.
Ail those Injured are prominent men
in the community, three of them, in
cluding one of the dead, being heads
of families.
During the exercises Mr. Sayes sep
arated the two little hoys as they
fought, and Truman Clark accused him
of having slapped the face of one of
the youngsters who was related to
Clark.
It is alleged that Clark demanded
that they meet and settle the matter
after the exercises, and that in prep
aration for this meeting Sayes went
home and secured his revolver. Ths
two went a short distance from the
school, where Sayes was knocked
down. Henry Clark, a brother of
the man who challenged Sayes, joined
the fight.
The latter, it !s alleged, had an
open knife with which he tried to stab
Sayes. While still down, Sayes
opened fire, his first bullet killing Cad
Chevalier, who was at a distance and
did ’ not know' of the quarrel. The
second bullet fatally wounded Mc-
Cann, a spectator, and the next two
struck the Clark brothers, mortally
wounding both. S. T. Shannon was
injured by a blow' on the head from
the butt of Saye’s and Sayes
himself has six stab wounds.
All were neighbors and several of
'them had been known as almost life
bins friends.
