Tragedy Occurred in Twig-gs County Last Thursday Afternoon. I Constitution Bureau, 467 Second Street, Macon, (la.. September 18.—(Special.)— With a terrible hole in the top of his li- ad. from which the brains were oozing, W. J. Collins, a prominent young planter of Twiggs county, lies dead 5 miles from Dry Branch, in the home of his slayer, ; his father in law, T. E. Williams. i The difficulty which led up to the klll- I Ing was caused by domestic differences ‘ between Coilins and his wife. Williams, ■ it is said, sided with his daughter, and c usequontly -id fooling existed between • the father of the. girl and hen- husband. It was not thought that the differences l would lead to anything yerious, and I v ith the exception of a few family (Juar ] ie|s everything progressed smoothly un til last Tuesday. No trouble of a serious nature, how s oi curved until Thursday afternoon, when Collins again started his cursing and abuse, and upon being remonstrated I with advanced upon Williams with a largo knife. Williams retreated into the house, and procuring his shotgun warned th, frenzied man to keen away. Collins, however, it Is said, paid no attention to the warning, and was rushing upon his father in law when the latter threw up his gun and pulled the trigger. The charge hit the young man in the top of the head, completely blowing it away. He dropped in his tricks and in a mo ment was dead. Those who were first on the scene declare they found a large knife lying beside .he d< ad man. which goes to show Williams acted in self defense. “Betsy Hamilton.” (From The Dallas (Tex.)

Weir, better known as “Surge Plunkett," has returned from Griffin, Ga., where lie went to see the man who represents himself to be Jack Reid, and declares it to be hut belief that th man is an imposter. Jack Reid married Mr. Weir's sister, and she was in Texas when he was killed, and returned to Griffin with his body. She believed the corpse that was brought back was that of her husband and mourned for him. The appearance of a man who claims to be Jack Reid, who was believed tp have been long since dead, created a great sensation throughout the state. Jack Reid’s wife is now Mrs. Mc- Gaughey, and she lives in the west. She will probably return to Georgia to see the man wjjo claims to be her hus band. "There is n,o doubt,” said Mr. Weir yes terday, "that this man resembles Jack Reid somewhat. I watched him closely, and have come to the conclusion that he is an imposter. It is true he makes some remarkable statements, and has a knowledge of affairs in which Jack was interested. In my opinion, he is one of the men who yvas in jail with Jack Reid. On account of his poor physical condition and age, it is not possible to trace thy iLS-mltUince closely. When the questioning reaches a point on which he is not quite clear the alleged Jack Reid has recourse to a lapse of memory. There L a great deal involved in the matter, since Reid's wife Ims married and raised a large family, and Jack Reid left a largo fortune, which was distributed at the time of his death. '9’L Peculiar feature of the case is , ! x? deviates the woman who brought Jack Reids body back to Griffin was not p!® w ? fp : H ® claims to have escaped Won jail during the light in which Jack Reid was Killed, and say, the bodv of not Jack Reid, and I knew Jack well.” FEB.DINAND HAS HIS TUNNEL.
