FASTENED ROPE AND JUMPS.
Newton Richardson Takes His Own
Life.
Canton, Ga., March 7.—M. Newton
Richardson, of near Hickory Flat, In
this county, committed suicide Tues
day morning by hanging himself.
Mr. Richardson was plowing In a
field near his home when he was seen
to leave the mule In the Held, take a
rope and go to an outhouse on the
place. His prolonged stay In the house
caused members of his family to make
an Investigation, and his dead body
was discovered swinging from a Joist.
He had apparently tied the rope about
his neck, climbed upon the joist an 1
then jumped off. His toes barely
touched the floor.
No definite cause of his act Is known,
but it is supposed to have been the
result of worry concerning the delay
in securing papers to land which he de
sired to purchase.
Negro Worked a Ruse.
Cordele, Ga., March 7.—On board
the Atlantic and Birmingham train ar
riving here Tuesday night were Depu
ty Sheriff Mathis, of Ware county, who
had in charge a negro man that he was
carrying to the state asylum at Mil-
ledgeville. On arrival here the offi
cer purchased a lunch and gave it to
the negro. The negro complaining
that he could not eat on acount of the
handcuffs, the deputy sheriff released
the negro’s left hand and no sooner
than he did the negro struck the offi
cer over the head and jumping from
the train, made his escape, but Police
man Couch arrested him and placed
him in jail.
Counterfeit Dollars Found.
Asheville, N. C., March 7.—While the
work of demolishing the old Buck ho
tel building was in progress a pack
age of counterfeit silver dollars was
unearthed from a ecess in the wall be
hind a chimney, where they had un
doubtedly been concealed a number of
years ago. There were ..Imost one
hundred of these coins, each counter
feit being carefully wrapped in a piece
of tissue paper. The imitations, though
well executed and of good color, were
lighter than the real article. They

the collapse.
