cn collision between two Western and Atlantic freight trains near Ring-

he Is not seriously hurt. He lives at 173 Luckle street, Atlanta.
He had gone to the engine to remind Clement that his orders were to

IT WAS J, B, ECHOLS,
NOT EBER ECHOLS
Owing to a mistake made at police
headquarters, the name of Joe B. Ech
ols, who when recently arrested, tried
to commit suicide, appeared In The
Georgian and other Atlanta papers as
Eber Echols.
The fact of the matter Is that Eber
Echols, who lives about 10 miles from
Atlanta on the Flat Shoals road. Is one
of the best known men In hlu section
of the county and has always borne a

THE FIRST GAME
GOES TD ATLANTA
BY SCORE OF 3 TO 1
By a little wild throwing In the sec-
ong inning the Pirates dropped the
first game of Wednesday’s double-
header to Atlanta at the rate of 3 to 1.
The bunching of errors by the Shreve
port Infielders burned the trick without
the trouble of hitting.
The pitching of Zeller and Fisher was
about of a whatness, but Zeller got by
far the better of the support. Jim Fox’s
two-bagger was responsible for the
4corlng of Hoffman In the seventh In
ning, giving Atlanta margin enough to
keep them from working too hard.

Hie homo two yeaVs. Asked ns to Cap-'
tain Bowie’s IreatmenL he sabl It
kind, but that he was very neglectful
of the duties. He testified that Captain
John Thompson was tyrannical.
"1 never heard him speak a kind
word to any one while he was here."
Mr. Moseley said the butter was
rancid and unpalatable, and the syrup
unfit to eat. The biscuits were a com
bination of bad flour and wretched
cooking. He never had any milk ex
cept what he bought. Beef was served
twice a week and eggs were unknown.

As to Mrs. Reid, she was partial to
some few, he testified, and overbearing
to others. Pressed to mention her fa
vorites, he gave the names of Mills,

ed, spent most of his time In her
room. Saffold sat Just behind the wit
ness. He appeared about 60 years old.

stopped him from that. He rooked hla
eggs In the grove then.

Dr. Amos Fox got a similar amount as

to how he gained Information as to his
salary, and Mr. Moseley said It was
general talk.
In conclusion he testified that report
accredited Mrs. Reid with being Im
moral.
Crum Injects Humor.
John Fort Crum, who was discharg
ed front the Home for a difficulty. In
jected some humor Into the hearing.
He said Corporal Hughes knocked
him down end called him a damn pup
py. Asked why Captain Bowie didn't
■top the trouble, he said the superin
tendent stayed In bed until 9 or 10
o’clock every morning. Bowie went to
town every night and didn’t come back
until the last car.
"If they ever had any Investigation
of the trouble between myeelf and Cor
poral Hughes I didn’t know anything
about It."
Questioned closely by Captain Harri
son. he admitted, however, that he was
at the trial of the caee.
Kept Bill of Fere.
C. E. Loomis had been In the Home
four years. Captain Thompson, he as
serted, was cruel, and the food bad.
He bought eggs, milk, butter. Jelly and
such things.
"Alleged butter and molasses were
served, but nobody could eat either."
