Ridgeland, Dec. 24.—Mr. W. D.
Thomas, one of the wood riders for
the Okeetee Club, was found dead
about ten mi las from here late Fri
day afternoon in Savannah river
swamps with three buckshot wounds
in his head. Wednesday afternoon
he left hjn home to make his usual
rounds in the woods to try and keep
off poachers and as he had at times
been in the habit of spending the
night at the club house, nothing wag
thought of his failure to return.
When he failed to return Thursday
his family became alarmed at his
absence and searching parties were
formed . to look for him In the
swamps. Late Friday afternoon hia
body was found still astride of the
horse that he hud b« en riding, the 5
horye also having u. t killed with
buckshot. Frory. all appearances It
seems that he rodcXtpon poachers
who had Just killed a fine deer, the
dead deer being found within about
100 yards of where Thomas' body
found. That rather than to
