Once there was a gambling man. a gambler bold was he—
He was the boldest man the world did ever see.
He wandered in the Stock Exchange, and one day bought some

And now the pore old gambling man is busy breaking rocks.

And didn't he gamble, ga-a-amble.
He gambled till tin* brokers cut him down.
Once there was a pious man. a pious man was he—
He was the mostest pious man the world did ever see.
He closed up all the gambling .joints, but didn’t think it strange

Laurens County Woman Claims
Aged Visitor Insulted Her,
>
Causing Her to Shoot.
DUBLIN, GA., Dee. IS.-—Officers to
day are endeavoring to solve the mys
tery surrounding the killing of F. M
Hightower. 73 years old. by Mrs. A. L.
Lynn, 22 years of age, at the Lynn
home, eight miles east of Dublin, late
yesterday afternoon. There was no
eye witness to the tragedy, save a two
year-old child of the woman. Her hus
band and other children were in a field
some distance from the house picking
cotton
Mrs. Lynn claims that she killed
Hightower because he had insulted
her. Hightower had borne an excel
lent reputation and was well liked.
Friends believe that Mrs. Lynn was
frightened or became temporarily in
sane and was not responsible when she
fired the fatal shots. She is in a deli
cate condition and will become a moth
er within a few weeks.
Woman Claims Insult.
Hightower had gone to the Lynn
farm on Lynn's invitation, to get a load
of kindling. He carried a load of sup
plies with him in return for the wood.
Mrs. Lynn says Hightower walked
into her room, took a seat in a rocking
chair and then insulted her. She says
she reached in a drawer for a pistol
and shot him to death as he sat in the
chair.
Hightower was shot in the stomach
first, and ft is thought he fell forward
in the chair, receiving the other bul
lets in the back of his head and body.
The condition of the chair shows he
was in the chair at the time he was
shot. A neighbor. Tom Hart, states
that three or four shots were fired in
quick succession, and after a pause
there were others. The body holds
seven wounds, indicating the pistol was
reloaded.
Helped Rear His Slayer.
Hightower was a brother-in-law of
the late John Colley, Who reared Mrs.
Lynn, after she was left an orphan. He
had known Mrs. Lynn since childhood,
and had assisted in caring for her be
fore her marriage.
It is alleged that hard feelings had
aidsen between Hightower and Lynn
recently, because Lynn charged High
tower with attempting to deprive Mrs.
Lynn of a share in the Colley estate.
Hightower’s funeral takes place to
morrow morning.
Mrs. Lynn has not been arrested, be
cause of her delicate physical condi
tion.
Hightower was the father of J. B.
Hightower, chief of police of Dublin.
Another son, F. C. Hightower, lives at
Jackson, Tenn. He also Is survived by
a daughter, Mrs. W. S. Holley, residing
here.
Lynn only recently moved to the
farm from Dublin, where he was a
blacksmith. He is well known through
out Laurens county.

DARING YOUNG THIEF
ESCAPES SING SING;
WARDEN PERPLEXED
OSSINING. N. Y., Dec. 18—Ches
ter W. Yates, one of the most daring
thieves in the country and the "brains"
in the $87,000 Bancroft robbery that
caused the downfall of Daniel O'Reilly,
the lawyer, escaped early today from
Sing Sing prison, where he was sent
last August to serve a sentence of 21
years. Warden John S. Kennedy and
the keepers in the prison confessed that
they had not the slightest idea how
Yates escaped.
The prisoners on their way to the
shop walk acrbss the big prison yard.
When they reach the door they are
counted. It was here Yates was missed.
The prisoners were returned to their
cells and the alarm whistle of the pris
on, which can be heard two miles, was
sounded. Within fifteen minutes of the
discovery Warden Kennedy had dis
patched several bands of guards to
search for Yates in the surrounding
country. The fog from the river was
thick and a passing train also made
everything favorable for the escape.
Yates possesses a remarkable career
for a criminal of only 29 years of age.
After getting into trouble with several
hotel robberies which he planned while
working as a bellboy he contrived the
Bancroft robbery.
BOULEVARD PAVING
ONLY A MAKESHIFT,
SAYS CONTRACTOR
At a meeting of property holders on
North Boulevard last night G. M. In
grund. president of the Southern Bitu
lithic Company of Nashville, declared
that the bituminous macadam on North
Boulevard which has called forth the
denunciation of the property holders
was a mere “makeshift,” but is Just
what the specifications call for.
He said the fault was not with his
company, but with the people, who had
decided upon a form of paving which
will not stand the wear of heavy traffic.
He also declared that his company
would finish the contract unless pro
hibited by a court order, but made a
proposition to take off the top paving
already laid and replace it with more
substantial material, at an additional
cost.
A committee of property holders will
be appointed to look into the several
propositions offered for the reconstruc
tion of the street, and to decide upon a'
definite plan with the city construction
department and the contractor.
