Or set «f Physicians Engaged in the *'Lunacy Business” in Floyd uoun ty. He lias Completely Disappeared “Dock” Pulliam is again at lib erty, He will be remembered by the readers of The Hustler of Rome as the prime mover and leader in the Chester Scott Jail breaking episode of last fall. Pulliam was put in jail tor an attempt at highway robbery, and while in the walls es that prison from which no criminal had ever effected an escape, he pl an tied th« tor liberty, and so boldly did he lead on that he, Chester Scott and four otners. made the dash and secured the mountain fastnesses before they sould be overhauled. It was the stalwart form of this desperado who fell upon the Jailor as he opened the door to lock th< prisoners in for the night. Four of the prisoners including Scott and Pulliam were finally run down and at a heavy cost to Sheriff Moore and his deputies they were once more lodged behind the bars Pulliam was certain of 12 months for jail breaking, but he was “deter nJrik d to avoid the certrinty” and a bout a week ago he refused to eat anything and went mad as a march hare. Hie Attorney, Recorder James Spullock, had Dr. Hoyt called in and all was done for the poor devil that, skill and kindness could do, and his wandering n i‘id refused to return ROME GEORGIA, FRIDAY EVENING APRIL 13. (Now he has gone after it in person ) Finally County Physician McCall and Drs Hoyt and Felton were call ed" to pass en lis case, before a luna •Vy Jury. Ibis was on Wednesday monkeyiug with “poor Dock” for some 1 ours, the Jury made a ver dict declaring Dock Pulliam to be a lunatic and he was ordered removed from the crowded jail to the Pauper farm where he could be nursed more tenderly. Yesterday morning four strong men, lifted the emanci ited form from the cell, and bore it tenderly to a buggy. He was tr< implanted to the Alms house, where four other stal wart, men with tender hearts and gentle touch bore the poor unfort u nate wreck into a cottage and laid the weary form to rest ou a pleasant couch. In the mean time Sheriff Moore and deputies McConnel and Turner had said openly that Pulliam was only “possumming’ and Mr, McCon nel had requested keeper Earle, of the alms house to watch Pulliam closely. An effort was made to do this but proved futile, for at two o clock ses terday afternoon Pulliam had so fai recovered that he walked out of his quarters and up the hill to tha woods saying to those he paseed that he wanted some gum to chew. He tailed to return and at 4 o'clock the sheriff was notified. Deputies Mc- Cooi.el and Dallas Turner and Bailiff Beard, Dave Hanks and Phill G. Byrd mounted horses and villa the blood hounds were soon on the scene trailing for the slick fugitive. The trail was struck and fol lowed to the open ground where they lost it, and Pulliam is again a wanderer in the cold world. John Culberson, Pulliam's old ceil mate at the jail - wears he wil* lick the life out of Pulliam if h - ever meets him again, John is in durance vile because of a char/e of assault and attempt to murder. He says be lost four nights sleep ministering to “poor Dock” and that the miserable wretch eat noth ing for the last five day except what was fed to him on a spoon. John misses Dock and mourns his absence and refuses to be com forted, His anguish is beautiful to behold . ANOTHER CASE. Another case of lunacy was de veloped in the county j«il thif morning. ' The victim was Ed Ward a young colored brother. Ed rav j d wildly until beakfast was brought in and then lay guiltly waiting for his cell mates to do the •John Culberson act for him. Suddenly, however, when he no ticed another enterprising ceon packing his breakfast awav he re covered his gnawmal condition and ifter a hurt sha •> wpsturbance he captured the tenn t’ng food and sat down to eat it, and lecture his ■•comrades” Ward says “niggers aint go* nigh the sen=e ’er white folks no how.” rro PUT o.\ • needed flesh, no matter how . you’ve lost it, take Doctor I Force's Golden Medical B'-v f; xVA Discovery. It works won ' \ \ '• I ders. By restoring the /S' I ji normal action of the de- /tl' I A I I ranged organs and June- \ j / tions, it builds the flesh up sq F A 1 to a safe and healthy stand- l » a rd —promptly, pleasantly, 't r / and naturally. The weak, £<; Vi emaciated, thin, pale and Be Li puny are made strong, Aw V plump, round, rosy, and robust. Nothing so effec tive as a strength-restorer and flesh-maker is known to medical science. Filthy Cod Liver Oil and all its disguised coinjtounds can’t compare with it. They build up fat, not healthy flesh. Practically, you can get the “ Discovery ” on trial. In m erything that’s claimed for it —in purifying the blood, and building up the flesh and strength—if it ever fails to benefit or cure, you have your money back. On these terms, is any substitute that may : pay a dealer better to urge and sell, likely to ‘ be “ just as good ’’.for you to buy f Nothing else, at atty price, is really as | cheap. You pay only for the good you get. 1894. fOE lffll CM Himself and bis Bonds men, Capt. M. A. Nevin. SUES OLD CITY COUNCIL. For the sum of $2,600. Papers filed nt 10:20 o'clock last night. Three Al lermen Voted Nay and r.r not li able. Capt. M. A. Nevin, Ex Clerk of the city council filed a suit at 10 :- 20 o’clock last night against Mayor King and his council. The suit was brought by Cap*. Nev*n for the sole purpose of pro testing himself Rod his bondsmen, a id was brought under the follow ing paragraph from Src 51 of the financial plank cl the Charter | of the city of Rome; < The annual appropriations as made by Council, may be varied as to the amount distributed to ' the several h *ads, nut these varia tions not t® rutroact on time expir- . ed, and not to enlarge in any man- ■ uer the aggregate appropriations for the year; and no money shal j be approp iated from the ci y treasury, except by resolution of the Mayor and Council, as herein provided, which shall be v <id un less it specifies upon its face upon which of said fund it is drawn ; and the said Mayor and members of Council shall be individually li able to the city for the refunding of any amounts appropriated or expenses incurred in exceas of s id limits, when voting on the same —except such ot them as es cape said liability by calling tie yeas and nays, and voting in the negative and the names enter- d on ' the minutes —the amount there- f to be recovered in an action brought in any of the court<• o f 10 CENTS A WEEK this State having jurisdiction thereof, in th f > name of the Clerk and Council, for the use of the city - and ten percent of the re covery shall be his compensatio and if he fail to bring said acti within ten days the said sui may ba recovered of him and 1 bondsmen, at the suit of any oil zen, and no action brought under this section, or right of action shall be settled without the con sent of the judge be ft re whom such eu.t is pending, upon exhibit of all ttie facts, and such consent entered on the minutes. The records of that last meeting of the old council, show that council men Printup, Mathis, .McDonald, Griffin, McClure, Wright and Wil hams®n voted ‘‘aye ’ while Messrs. Satterfield. Cornelius and Miller vo ted “nay.’’ Under the charter these lasts nam ed gentlemen are exempt and will not be effected by the suit brought by Capt. M, A. N<.vin, the c.erk of that council. Mayor Moore, and a few of hi? Ai dermen were seen by the Hustles of Rome today, but had very little to say cn the subject. One of the al dermen said that he thought the overdrafts making $2,600 in the suit would all Le paid by the present ad ministration but that not one dollar could be paid until ths appropiations wsre made. These app-opiations are generally passed about the first of May,” said he, “and at that meeting the present co uncd will consider these overdrafts and do something with them’ Continuing, he said, “I can’t see how the present council can do much for the < ity outside paying off the heavy indebtedn ss vhich has been piled up by our predecessors, and left, for us t> dispose of—WO wil ‘tall mo c,’ later on.’’ Foil -wing is the paper filied by Messrs.
