TOOK HIS BROTHER’S WI PE.
A Forsyth Correspondent Tells
Hardin Is Wanted for.
The Morgan correspondent of
Courier last week chronicled the ar¬
rest of Chas. Ilardin in that place by
Sheriff Davis of Calhoun ebunty on a
warrant from Monroe county, and
stated that the pitiable condition of
the man and his wife and baby had ex¬
cited much sympathy.
That sympathy was sadly misplaced,
however, as will be seen from the fol¬
lowing communication to the Macon
Telegraph, which would have been
published last week but for a lack of
space;
Forsyth, Ga., March 12.—Tn a cold
and cheerless cell in the county jail
here sits a sad faced woman with an
infant of a few months upon lier knee.
On a couch near by sits a stalwart
man whose face is constantly scanning
the floor. There is a sad story connected
with the incarceration of the man,which
is intensified by the fidelity of a loyal,
loving wife.
A little more than a year ago George
Hardin, a young farmer residing about
six miles from here, went early one
morning to his lot to feed his mules. He
was greatly surprised ot finding one of
his mules and his wagon and harness
missing.
He went over to his brother’s, a short
distance away, to inform him of his
discovery, and to his dismay his broth¬
er, too, was missing.
Almost bewildered, he proceded to
his mother-in-law’s about a mule away
to inform his wife, who was spending
the night with her mother, of what had
occurred. He was completely dumb¬
founded to learn that his wife, too, was
missing. Almost crazed by what had
happened, Mr. Hardin began a diligent
search for his wife and mule and wag¬
on. In a few hours the poor man
made a discovery that completely fren¬
zied him. The wife that was the idol
of his heart, the brother that he loved,
were seen driving his mule and wagon
during the early hours of the morning
toward Juliette.
Mr. Ilardin immediately set out in
pursuit of his faithless companion and
recreant brother, but strange to say,
his search proved unsuccessful—they
were not to be found anywhere.
Returning to the home that had been
made desolate by the leaving of his
wife. Mr. Hardin attempted to keep
the affair secret, if possible. Several
months passed and no tidings ever
came to the miserable man of the miss¬
ing pair.
Sheriff George Newton, however, de¬
termined that Hardin should be
brought to justice for the inhuman
treatment of his.brother, and quietly
went-to work on the case. At the ex¬
piration of eighteen long months the
gallant sheriff’s efforts were rewarded.
Hardin and the woman were found in
Calhoun county.
Mrs. Ilardin, growing tired of the
miserable life she had been leading,
returned to her husband and craved
forgiveness, ? ’ which was gladly 6 J granted
. by her . husband. ,
Charlie Hardin arrived here last
night in the custody of an officer and
was met at the train by the wife that
he had deserted for the wife of his
brother. , The meeting was a pathetic
one, the wronged wife throwing her-
seif into the arms of her wayward J
husband , and , . , bitterly. . ,
weeping
The little babe that she held in her
arms looked on the touching scene in
amazement. Hardin was escorted to
the jail in company with his heart-
broken wife and babe. On reaching
the jail door the poor woman begged
to b* locked in the coll with l,o, l,.„-
band, which request Sheriff Newton
granted.
The faithful .... , wife, notwithstanding . ... .
her husband’s infidelity, clings closely
to him as only a true wife can.
Ilardin will be vigorously prosecuted

an early acquittal arc extremely gloomy

NUMBER 16.
i HOLMAN CAUGHT SHAVING.
Culberson Plays a Neat Trick on the
• Watchdog of the Treasury.
When Speaker Crisp’s gavel fell at
noon Monday, Judge William Steele
Holman of Indiana had rounded out
fifteen terms as a member of Congress,
says the St. Louis Republic, and in the
thirty years of his service no man can
say the judge was not an alert states¬
man. The judge was seldom caught
napping in his self-constituted duties
as watch dog of the treasury. Judge.
Culberson of Texas, however, scored a
neat one on him.
Mr. Culberson was chairman of the
judiciary committee of the House. For
many days he carried in his pocket a
little bill creating a new judicial dis¬
trict for Southern California. He knew
that I he only way to have it passed was
by unanimous consent in the morning
hour. Holman was opposed to the
measure, and stood ready at all times
to object. So afraid was Judge Hol¬
man that Judge Culberson would steal
a march on him and pass his bill that
lie would remain in his seat every day
till the expiration of the morning
hour. One morning Judge Holman
noticed that Culberson was absent
from the hall of the House, and lie.
went to a barber shop and asked for a
quick shave. When the Indiana face
bore a good thick coat of lather Judge
Culberson came into the hall and
caught I he speaker’s eye. He said he
had a little bill lie desired passed, lie
stated the object of the bill briefly
as possible. There was no objection'
and the bill passed.
When Holman ret urned to his seat
and was told that the hill had passed
he. Was hot with indignation. When
he asked Judge Culberson for an ex-,
planation the latter said simply : “Y-Vil-
liam, I ketched you wit h the lather on
your face and 1 took advantage of my
opportunity and rushed my bile
through. You should never shave
when on duty.”
