or more men. "They hav- 1 hounded me
all day yesterday and today," raid
Cochran just before starting to get his
team to return to his home, “and I may
aave to defend myself soon."
Cochran and Marchman hadn’t gone
50 steps before they stopped to greet a
friend and saw four Cleghorn boys ap
pronchlng from their rear. Without a
word and in the twinkling of an eye,
Cochran drew his gun and began firing,
first at Tan. then Marlon, both men
falling.
The other two brothers escaped
through a nearby store. When the
smoke cleared up Tan was carried into |
the sleeping apartments of a nearby:
livery stable and Marion carried to the
office of Dr. G. R. Luke, It w som»

before they reached the wounded men
Tan received a dangerous wound I
in the thigh and bled profusely ■
Marion received a ,32-caliber bail in {
the left cheek, which wont straight In
Sheriff J. A. King was on the scene
in five minutes after the shooting ano
before the wounded ni' ti were removed.
"You will not have to make any inves
tigation as to who did the shooting,
sheriff," said t'oehr. n. "I did it, and
am ready to go with you." He and
Marcuman then handed the sheriff thel''
guns anti wire taken to the sheriff’s
office, ,where bond was fixed. They
have said but little since the shooting.
Marlon Cleghorn had out his gun
when seen Vy Cochran, but Cochran’s
work was so quick and accurate that
he received a bullet in the bead before
he could possibly bring his gun into
play. N-uvs of the shooting quickly
spread over the city and great excite
ment prevailed for more than an hour.
After Minnie Marchman died and her
mother tccused Tan Cleghorn as tin
cause of her untimely end, Cochran,
who nad married her sister, swore to
avenge her death. He* used no dra
matic vendetta oath taken as he stood j
above the Amboy belle’s body.
Brother-in-Law Vowed Vengeance.
Ho simply declared that he was going
to see that the girl’s wrongs were
avenged. His first step was to resort
to law. When he had failed to prove
that the girl’s death had resulted from
poison given her by her sweetheart he
resorted to arms.
Sunday he met Tan Cleghorn on an
Ashburn street. His shotgun spoke and
Cleghorn fell, dead his friends thought
It was afterwards declared that he
would survive.
Cochran was not satisfied. When he
was released on bond, he reloaded that
same gun. Feeling was at that time
running high between the Cleghorn',
the Cochrans and the Marchmans.
Yesterday when Cochran left home
with shotgun on his shoulder he was
accompanied by Lee Marchman. Both
knew the mission on which they were
bent.
Cleghorn was encountered. A fusil
lade followed. When the smoke cleared
Tan’s brother was being taken away
and physicians declared he could not
live.
Cleghorn Loyal to Brother,
Marion Cleghorn was Tan's most ar

girl died and Tan was in hiding with
feeling running high against him as
the entire countryside searched for him.
the brother repeatedly declared Tan
was innocent and time and again as

with the people he called his brother’s
traducers.
At the same time, Cochran was urg

responsible for 'he girl's death, and

Recalls Days When the South
Treated Him. a Poor, Hard-
Working Boy, So Kindly.
Sir Thomas Lipton, of Ireland, Eng
land and Ceylon, is in our midst. He
arrived today, motored out to the Geor
gian Terrace and settled down on a red
velvet divan to chat with old and new
friends.
There's nothing formidable about Sir
Thomas. He isn't half so imposing in
his demeanor as his valet, Louise. This
Louis must have an awful time keeping
his dignity at par and traveling with
such a democratic chap as his master.
But Sir Thomas? Oh. just a six-foot
old chap with a slight stoop in his
shoulders from bending over and talk
ing to shorter folk; a ruddy, sun-tanned
face, rather thinning gray hair and a
grizzly mustache.
Merry Twinkle in His Blue Eyes.
He were a blue sack coat, a long
chinchilla overcoat, tan shoos and a
derby when he left the train. Os course,
he wore that blue and white spotted
Windsor tie with flaring ends, draped
around a comfortable stand-up collar
with plenty of room in front for an
Adam's apple.
And he has a merry twinkle in his
blue eyes and a bit of the most deli
cious. smoothest, most Inimitable
brogue that ever came out of Ireland.
Colonel Willi- Ragan, his host In At
lanta; Governor-elect John M. Slaton,
John W. Grant, Frank Ellis and one or
two others met Sir Thomas at the Ter
minal station and drove out with him
in a big limousine.
Such a succession of carelessly spok
efl “Sir Thomases" as was scattered '
through the conversation! Such a rals- |
ing of hats with the handshake, Euro
pean fashion, you know! Such a gath
ering of a curious crowd In the station
and such a commotion among the bed
boys!
“A Doll ar the Pose, Boys,”
"Just a minute. Colo —er—Sir Thom
as,” asked the reporters. "We want
your picture.”
“ 'Twill cost you boys one dollar the
pose,” retorted Sir Thomas, “cash in
advance. I've had me picture taken
this trip until I think I might as well
make something of It. Eh? How's
that?”
He stood for the camera, but failed to
collect.
"The reporters would like to see you
! at the hotel if you'll make a date." was
1 the next suggestion.
i “Sure, come on now. Come right out.
i you boys, come right out," returned Sir
1 Thomas. "Why shouldn’t I be a friend
ito the newspaper boys? Haven’t they
elected me an honorary member of the
press clubs In Chicago and New York?"
Settled In his suite in the Terrace,
[str Thomas chatted with the reception
■ party, promised to stay a week if he
could make arrangements, slapped
I Governor-elect Slaton on the back, told
I John W Grant a funny story and
promised to see them ull again this
afternoon and all the rest of the time.
I Tin n lv w anted a drink.
"'o'.n lemon squaahes, Louin," was

you something. The way to ask a
friend to drink is not to say, ’Will you'.”
.bust, just order and then say 'Here it is.’
Isn't that right?”
“Colonel Ragan has promised to have
you meet a dozen of the prettiest girls
in Atlanta," some one remarked. Colo
nel Ragan confessed the report was
true.
Why He’s Been ’‘lmmune."
“They say you are a connoisseur of
pretty women. Sir Thomas?" remarked
another. “Maybe some Atlanta girl
will capture you. How is it you have
been immune so long?”
’TH show ye," returned the bachelor
yachtsman, and he dug into a wallet
and brought up a folded clipping from
Punch. It was a cartoon by Phil May
depicting an English sandwich board
man parading the street between twe,
advertising boards bearing the one word
"Lipton.” That sandwicli man was the
most tattered, woe-begon, miserable
wretch an artist could picture. And
the old lady In the foreground, looking
at the man and the placard, remarked:
"So that’s Lipton, is he? No wonder
he never married.”
Likes English and Irish Girls, Too.
But Sir Thomas, pressed for an opin
ion. gracefully admitted that American
girls were beautiful and cultured and
accomplished, and he admired them im
mensely.
"But I like the English and the Irish,
too," he said. ‘Tn fact, I like them all."
But lie wouldn’t say whether or not
there was any likelihood of his becom
ing a benedict.
"First visit to the South?" he repeat
ed in answer to a question. "No, my

“MADAME SHERRY” PROVES
BIG ATTRACTION AT LYRIC
Patrons of the Lyric are enjoying a
rare treat this week in the appearance
of “Madame Sherry,” which lifts charmed
local theatergoers on former visits to the
higher priced houses. This opportunity
of witnessing the delightful musical play
at popular prices probably will not be
missed by those wno enjoy clever humor
and good music. The company has been
selected with good judgment and each
member fits his role perfectly, with the
result that a smooth and finished per
formance is given. Miss Hene Davies is
a charming Yvonne and possesses a very
sweet voice. The balance of the com
pany, both principals and chorus, meas
ures up to tlife requirements of the play.
Tlie general consensus of opinion is that
the present production of Madame Sherry
at the Lyric does not suffer by compari
son with the former presentations of the
play in Atlanta. There will be matinees
Thursday and Saturday.

STEAMER SUNK BY
WARSHIP CARRIED
12 MEN TO BOTTOM
DEVON PORT, ENG., Dec. 11.—The
steamship rammed and sunk by the
dreadnought Centurion off Portland is
believed to have been the Osprey, with
twelve men on board, bound from Wa
terford to Hollyhead. All on board are
believed to have perished. Lloyds ma
rine dispatches said today that the Os
prey was due at Plymouth yesterday,
but has not yet arrived. She was known
to be in the neighborhood when the ac
cident occurred.
The admiralty today ordered torpedo
boats to search the waters where the
vessel went down for bodies or wreck
age which would establish definitely the
identity of the lost ship.
The Centurion will be out of com
mission two-months as a result of the
collision.

TO PLAY SANTA
TO POOR TOTS
Empty Stocking Fund Offers
Opportunity to Make Some
Little Heart Happy.
Continued from Page One.
rich, but the great majority who are
“just comfortable." are urged to give as
liberally as they can to the Empty
Stocking fund, and to remember that
“he who gives quickly gives double." It
is . true that there have been frequent,
appeals for other worthy causes, that
the demands of Christmas time are
heavy, but surely there can be no cause
so worthy of need as this, no jnqyement
which can give so much happiness at
so little cost, as this appeal to fill the
stockings of the children of the poor,
to give them one red letter day in their
black calendar of poverty and need.
The list of subscriptions published
today shows how the Atlantans who are
constantly called upon for gifts to va
rious causes have contributed liberally
to the’Empty Stocking fund. Many of
these are men whose annual outlay in
charity and public movements reaches
tremendous sums. Yet not one of them
hesitated when asked to add a gift to
the children's fund, not one but ex
pressed his or her pleasure in contrib
uting to the little folks.
Children learn to believe in Santa
Claus as they believe in Christ; to have
faith in the universal charity of the
jolly old saint, even as they have faith
in the universal love of the Saviour.
Fill These Empty Stockings.
The Sunday school teaches of tile
one; the stories mother used to tell and
the chatter of the children in the street
bring visions of the other. How is it
possible for tiny Mamie of the mill set
tlement, or little Tom, across the tracks,
to understand a patron saint of charity
who loves only the children of the rich,
who gives only to those who have
everything already?
It is to help the children of the well
to-do to reach these children of the
needy that The Georgian today opens
its annual Empty Stocking Fund. It
will receive all gifts, from a penny to
any larger sum, f which those who can
afford may feel inclined to give.
It does not ask any man to offer more
than he can spare; it does not urge any
child to give up his own happy day to
make a day happy for others.
But The Georgian knows that there
is not a child in Atlanta who could look
out on Christmas morning front his
cozy home and his array of gifts into
the cheerless room, where another child
is sobbing with an empty stocking in
his hand, and not cry out for the privi
lege of dividing his Christmas happi-

Claus forgot.
Just Give What You Can.
The Georgian's fund need not grow
into the thousands of dollars to be suc
cessful. Its main intention is not to
furnish food and fuel and clothing for
grown-ups, though these are sadly
needed in many homes. The charities
will do the best they can to provide
these necessities.
The Empty Stocking Fund is princi
pally the little fellows whose Christ
mas would be a ghastly travesty of the
day without it. It will play Santa
Claus to as many boys and girls as it
can find; carry a day of happiness into
as many homes as the public’s gifts
provide for.
It does not ask large contributions
from a few philanthropists. But it
would like to have a little gift from
every child in Atlanta to whom an un
failing Santa Claus has come each
Christmas, who is willing to divide his
holiday happiness with some other child
to whom Santa Claus might be proved
a saint only for the rich.
