Anibushers, Who Shot Malt Hughes to Death, Crush Child's Head. Mineral Bluff, Ga., Sept. 16.? While his wife, with their child in her arms, heroically sought to drag her husband from out of the range of. ambushers' bullets, Malt Hughes, a well known citizen of Rock Creek district, was shot to death, as he lay outside of his home's door, by parties unknown, to the officers, according to information received here. Not content with the assasination of Hughes, the ambushers Crushed in the head of his child with guns, when they struck at Mrs. Hughes, who was battling for her husband's life. The child is not expected to live. The ambushers made, their escape, after threatening death of Mrs. Hughes if she made any report of her husband's death. The woman, who is prostrated by the tragedy, claims to have recognized members of the party, but is afraid to give any in formation. Sheriff Jenkins and a large posse have been at the Hughes home since | the killing and are endeavoring to j capture the ambushers. The only reason that can be assigned for the killing of Hughes is that he was believed to have been responsible for activities of revenue officers who recently confiscated a number of illicit stills in this section. An attempt was made Sunday night a week ago to kill Hughes, but only a part of a load of shot struck him in the hips. The second attack resulted in his death. He was called to the door of his home at night, and a shot entered his neck under the chin. Hughes fell outside the doorway, and attempted to crawl back into the house. Mrs. Hughes, with her baby in her arms, rushed to Hughes's side and was trying to carry him back into the house. One of the party struck at Mrs. Hughes with his rifle, but the blow landed on/tlje baby's head, crushing the skull. Three men then dragged Hughes into the yard, where two more volleys were fired into his body. Two men are reported to have been arrested Monday for Hughes's death, while it is said warrants have been issued for five or six others. PERSONAL MENTION. ?Bank Examiner B. J.
