PRESIDENT CASTRO’S WIFE
TRIED TO SAVE PAREDES
According to the atorlea going the
rounds, th* trip of the city officials and
the firemen's drum rorpa to the Janies-
' town Exposition was a decidedly ex
citing journey.
■ The first Incident to jolt the Allan
tans occurred last Saturday night while
the train was speeding through the
country In North Carolina. Recorder
Broylea and two or three others were
seated on the rear platform of the ob-
rprvxtton car, while the remainder of
the Jolly party was Inside, telling Jokes
and other thing*. Suddenly the report
of a plstrfl came from the darkness near
the track and a bullet crashed through
one of the windows, narrowly mlaslng
several of the party and throwing bro
ken glass Into their face*
! Incident No. 3 occurred Sunday
morning, only a few hours later. While
atlll rumbling over the rails In the Old
North State, the train ran over nnd
killed a negro man. At the time of the
accident the city official* and members
of the drum corps were eating break
fast In the baggage car. The train waa
three mile* frotn the nearest station
and something had to bo done with the
crushed and mangled form of the dead
man.
Accordingly, the train was stopped,
the dead body picked up and. as the
hungry Atlantana were In the midst of
an enjoyable meal, was brought Into
the Impromptu dining car and laid on
the floor, a few feet from the break
fast party. This was more than they
could stand. Atlanta people can go up
against some pretty stiff propositions,
but at that grewsome sight every man
In the party suddenly lost his appetite.
The remainder of the meal waa left un.
touched.
