Continußd From Page One. or more men. “They have hounded me all day yesterday and today.” said Cochran just before starting to get his ’earn to return to his home, "and I may ' have to defend myself soon.” Cochran and Marvhman hadn't gone 50 steps before they stopped to greet a friend and saw four Cleghorn boj*s ap proaching from their rear. Without a word and in the twinkling of an eye, Cochran drew his gun and began firing, first at Tan, then Marion, both men falling. The other two brothers escaped through a nearby store. When the smoke cleared up Tan was carried into K. the sleeping apartments of a nearby livery stable and Marion carried to the office of Dr. G. R. Luke. It w..s some time after physicians were summor°'< before they reached the wounded men Tan received a dangerous wound in the thigh and bled profusely Marion received a ,32-callber, ball in the left cheek, which went straight in Sheriff J. A. King was on the scene in five minutes after the shooting and before the wounded men were removed. “You will not have to make any Inves tigation as to who did the shooting, sheriff,” said Cochran. "I did it, and am ready to go with you." He and Marchman then handed the sheriff the! 1 ' guns and were taken to the sheriffs office, where bond was fixed. They have said but little since the shooting. Marlon Cleghorn had out his gun when seen by Cochran, but Cochrans ■work was so quick and accurate that he received a bullet in the head before he could possibly bring his gun Into play. News 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 accused Tan Cleghorn as the cause of her untimely end. Cochran, who had married her sister, swore to avenge her death. He used no dra matic vendetta oath taken as he stood above the Amboy belle’s body. Brother-in-L»w Vowed Vengeance. He 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 Cleghorns, 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. Marlon Cleghorn was Tan’s most ar dent defender. When the. Marchman 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 serted that he would even up matters with the people he called his brother’s traducers. At the same time, Cochran was urg ent in his claim that Tan Cleghorn was responsible for the girl’s death, and pledged himself not to rest until jus tice had been meted nut. During the weeks that have passed Siner Minnie Marchman's death, feel ing has grown between the family.

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 talx ing to shorter folk; a ruddy, sun-tanned face, rather thinning gray hair and a grizzly mustache. Merry Twinkle in His Blue Eyes. He wore a blue sack coat, a long chinchilla overcoat, tan shoes 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. .

Such a gath ering of a curious crowd in the station, and such a commotion among the bell boys! “A Dollar 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 ,n advance. I’ve had me picture taken this trip until 1 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 ! the next suggestion. "Sure, come on now. Come right out. 1 you boys, come right out." returned Sir I Thomas. "Why shouldn't I be h friend to tlic newspaper boys?

The way to ask a friend to drink is not to say, 'jtvill yo<j bust just order and then say'Mltre It 16.’ Isn't that right?” “Colonel Ragan has promised to have you meet a dozen of the prettiest girl? in Atlanta,” some one remarked. Colo nel Ragan confessed the report was true. « Why He's Been "Immune.” “They say you are a connoisseur of pretty women. Sir Thomas?" remarked another. “Maybe some Atlanta girl will capture you. How is it you havc been immune so long?" “I'll 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 beating the one word "Lipton.” That sandwich 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 Giris, Too.

ATLANTA 15 ASKED TO PLAT 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 movement 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 the 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, 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 Christinas inarsing from 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- A? iV jtcX v 1 . ■ ■■. ’ ’ • ■ Christmas Hints For Father, Brother or “HIM!” LOUNGING ROBES, exclusive patterns.. s4 to *12.50 BATH ROBES of Terry Cloth, with Slippers to match.
