THE YOUTH- FUL VICTIM BEEMID OF REBPKTA blk family thfmuhde a pro found MYSTERY Last night at 7 o’clock, T. M. Drennon Floyd’a veteran coroner, left for Seney,Ga. where he had been Simmoneed on official business. Coroner Drennon empannelled a jury aud there in the floorless cabin, over the mutilated body of the re mains of the youthful victim he and his jury spent the greater part of |he night examining witnesses. The scene of the crime was in a hut abjut 400 yards from the busi* ness section of Seney, Ga and was about 250 yards south of the railroad. Ihe body was found yesterday by two colored women who spread the news Coroner Drennon of Rome was summoned and the inquest followed. The remains were those of a nice ooking, boardless boy of 18 or 20 years measuring 5 feet 8 in. and weighing about 140 pounds- He was dressed in a dark suit: coat, pants and vest aud wore a pair of new No. 9 ‘-gaitor” shoes, a peg ; igee shu t with dark stripes, a pair of red suspenders and a No. 7 crush bat branded “De Soto” The hat was o. good material but was ‘‘sunburnt.” In his pockets was found a 5 cent handkerchief and a s'lveroid open face watch, Plan Watch Co. make, case No. 1,800,701 and works No. 842,570 with elephant stamped be. low number. The crystal was badly cracked. Nothing else was found in the pockets. Lying on the dirt floor of the hut was found a satchel made of table oil cloth and about the size of a large school satchel. The straps were mis sing, but the satchel contained two linen bosom white shirts, soiled The shirt he wore was new—still having the merchants marks on the flap. The clothing of deceased wa s examined minutely but no trace of a name could be found nor was there a single clue discovered bv which his identity could be established. Thar the youth had been mur dered, there could bene doubt, for his head bad been crushed and beaten in with some heavy in strument and his life blood had uczed out through a number of wounds. Sixteen witnesses were called and after they had been closely examined the mystery seemed more dense than ever. No one could be found who had ever seen the stranger before. After exhausting every avenue of information, the Jury returned the verdict below—and thus in a dirt floored B hovel in the far away mountains ends the life of some mothers darling boy—crushed, maugled, and cut off from the earth, his life blood seaking into the cold hungry soil, while the fiend who committed the crime for a Jfew paltry dollars, made off throuh the night winds ot the darkened forest. Who was the victim thus piti lessly murdered while perhaps toiling homeward to pour in the lap of his mother the wages or his honest toil? Who was the red handed fiend who struck that pit hless blow? In an unknown grave, tender hands have laid the boyish form, and though from stranger eyes, yet on that mound, bitter tears have wet new turned sod aud ach ing hearts beat for him overtaken by such cruel rate, and aching, yet they feel a deeper pang far the liv ed ones who wait and watch aud GUARANTEED LARGEST SIZE MADE, hope for the coming of him who will never again their eyes.

In fact, their action were such that if the kix&wn con victions of their leader had been known it might hare been inspected that they had drinking. Anyuuw, they secured the uegn» >rass baud and all other known iinds of rude musical instrument tnd proceeded to make the night □ ideous as well as hilarious. I’hey came to the News and Suu office, but we were so busy receiving returns from Atkiueoa counties that we could no t pay hem proper attention; so they v.eut oil to inflict their oerenade upon other promiueut Atkinson eaders. they succeeded in driving sietp from some who bad sought sleep ay surcease from defeat, and annoying wives whose husbands were not at nome; but they had omy gut about, naif through with their programme when they were brought to a eudde n dampening sense of the enormity of their offence aud took a bee hue for noma. At the home of one gentle man, a resident of South Hill street who was waiting up town to find bow large Atamson’s majority was in Early, they became so tired that th«y went in and sat down on the porch taking off their hats to wipe then brows fevered with too much glory. Tg them, iu the height of their t r iumpih, playing tunes and yell mg paeans of triumptb, came sud denly the lady of the house out the hall door with tho garden hose ’uroed ou'aud playing in full force. Che stream about the size of three fingers, took the fellows on the poarch in the back of the ueclr and they tumbled off. The holder ot the nozxel ran down the path and shut off escape by the gate, and then turned the hose alternately on both sides till, everybody iu the crowd had jump ed or fallen over the fence. A second of the stream was enough to wet every body to the bone, while one spurt down the born of the col ored leader nearly drowned him with, more water than he had seen at one time In all his life. One man unable to escape, fell prone and cried • ‘'l’m an Atkinson man! I’m an AtHasos man!” But the lady believing in no such sudden conversions, continued until the fellow actually had to swim out to get away. The crowd took it all good na turedly, knowing that they deserved it, and stood at a safe distance and begged for their hats. When they were finally thrown out to them they turned their soggy footsteps home ward, wetter, if not wiser men. Sun day morning the Negroes were busy in the middle of the road picking up handkerchiefs with which the would be revelers had wiped themselves and been too nervous to hold. TWO TRAINS RUN OVER A MAN.
