Freeman is a negro preacher with
g wife and grown children, being a
man of from 45 to 50 years of age.
He has for a unmber of years been
a tenant on the Widow Jones"
farm, in Chulio district some ten
miles from Rome.
So implicit was Mrs Jones' con
fidence in the preacher tenant,
evan if he was a negro, she had
formed the habit of sending her
two little girls to the negro’shome
when she was called away
It is not known when the
black wolf in sheep’s clothing
destroyed the honor of the two
little girls. The horrible fact is
that they have both been ruined,
the older about 14 years old is
in a delicate condition, while
her sister, younger than she,
has also fallen.
Some months ago the older
girl was enticed away from home
and sent to Dallas where Free
man joined her. Later, relatives
of the familv discovered the
girl’s whereabouts and brought
her home.
Some weeks ago her condition
become apparent and before
’Squire Rich, of Chulio, she
swore the negro preacher tenant
on her mother’s farm was re
sponsible.
The jffi< ers located the negro
last Saturday at Freeman’s Fer
ry about ten miles from Rome.
Coroner Schlapbach* with blood
hounds trailed him, but in some
manner he escaped. Sixteen shot?
were fired at him by the mob
vho was with the officers, but
>one took effect.
Yesteiday Bailiff Abb Jones
of Chulio, a distant relative of
the girls, accompanied by Air.

The negro, knowing the desper
ate nature of his case, resistel
arrest, and, reports received in
the city, states that in the fight
which followed,Bailiff Jones was
shot twice and seriously wound
ed, while the negro was killed.

AS A COLLIER,

Used.
Washington July 14.—The
Secretary of the Navy has
adopted measures to rid the Na
vy department of its embarrass
ment over the Brazilian dyna
mite-gun vessel Nictheroy, re
cently purchased at the exorbi
tant price of $550,000, by order
ing her to the New York Navy
yard to be converted into a col
lier.

iary cruiser of the Yankee-Dixie
class
The construction board decid
ed that the vessel was not worth
the expenditure, and recom
mended that she be used as a
collier. The Buffalo will have
the distinction ot being the most
expensive collier afloat.

RELIABILITY
I
is a quality some newspapers have lost sight of in these
days of "yellow” journalism. They care little for truth
and a great deal for temporary sensation.
It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD.
The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability.
It prints the news—all the news—and tells the truth
about it.
It is the only American newspaper outside New York city
that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and its
own staff correspondents and artists at«ihe front in both
hemispheres.
It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world.
Its war news service is unapproachably the best
Says the Urbana (111.) Daily Courier:
“We read the war news in the other papers,
then we turn to THE CHICAGO RECORD to
see how nwb of it is true.” '
