COLD IN GEORGIA

AND THE CAROLINAS

Many People in Shattered Cities Are

Shivering Amid the Wrecks of their

HomesLoss of Life and PropertyAppalling

Atlanta Ga Aug 29Georgia andsouth Carolina ire facing a drop intemperature which is severe enough tothreaten those made homeless by floodswith serious suffering as many of theaffected are practically without house-hold goods and are camping in theopen

Reports from Augusta show that thestreets are practically clear of waterhut that a decidedly low temperatureprevails for this season of the year

The death list remains the samethough many rumors which could notbe substantiated have been rife of the i

drowning parties in various sectionsof the affected districts

Spartanburg Greenville Columbia-and other South Carolina cities reportall danger is over and that the damagehas been comparatively light

Telegraphic communication is slow-ly being resumed in all directions

Trains coming into the city lastnight report that much damage hasseen done along the right of way anda detour via Nashville was necessaryto reach northern points

The first trains from New Yorkreached Atlanta last night bringinga great bunch of mail which had beenheld up on account of broken bridges

Fourteen Lives Lost at AugustaAugusta Ga Aug 29Xow that I

the water has sufficiently subsided tomake an intelligent estimate of thedamage done by the floods it Is foundthat the foundations of a great manyof the buildings of the city have beenseriously damaged especially in thebusiness section of the city

Among the more seriously damagedbuildings are the Central Grammar j

school building the walls of whichhave collapsed The walls of the Na-

tional¬

Biscuit company building havefallen and the underpinning of thePort Royal bridge is in danger though-the bridge Itself is still intact

The death list is estimated to befourteen in this vicinity alone though-it is expected that the roll will belengthened by later developments

I Immense Damage to Property-

The property loss in Georgia andthe Carolinas is estimated at two anda half million dollars

MURDERERS OF MORELAND-

State Detective Eaton Is Sure He HasEvidence Against the Right

Parties

Tampa Tribune 28th

That he will be able to produce evi-

dence¬

to convict Truby 0 Osteen andWill Bexley of the murder of W HMoreland at High Springs when theysome to trial at Gainesville was thestatement made by Special AgentCharles F Eaton of the state detec-tive

¬

service yesterday Mr Eatonsays that he will not only do this butwill bring to justice the man whowrote him a threatening letter fromHigh Springs advising him not tocome to that city and interfere in theaffairs of the residents there

Mr Eaton arrived in the city yes-

terday¬

morning after a recent visit-to High Springs He went there inthe face of a threatening letter written to him some weeks ago by an un-

known¬

person there He secured evi-

dence¬

on which the two accused werebound over also evidence as to themurderers of W C Sellers the At ¬

lantic Coast Line special agentMr Eaton came to Tampa on pro ¬

fessional business and will probablyremain here several days He haswith him evidence against the writer-of the threatening letter from HighSprings that is beyond question andwill turn it over to the United Statespostal authorities who are now incharge of this phase of the seri ationat killing of young Moreland at thatplace the first week in August-

A Cold Blooded MurderFrom the evidence secured by De ¬

tective Eaton from eye witnesses the I

killing of Moreland was cold bloodedmurder The homicide was commit-ted

¬

in a thickly populated district ofthe city and there were as many asfour eye witnesses While the state ¬

ment of some > f these are to the ef ¬

fect that they did not believe thatthe young men intended killing Moreland that they fired the fatal shots

When the two young men were ar¬

raigned at Gainesville one eye witnessto the tragedy testified but despitethis fact the accused were allowedtheir freedom on bonds of 1000 eachDetective Eaton is of the opinion thatthey should either have been freed orshould have been held witlfout bond-on a charge of murder

The crime of which the young menare charged and the subsequent de ¬

velopments are still fresh in theminds of Tampans Moreland was acommercial traveler out of AtlantaAt S oclock at night he was shotdown on the streets of High Springs-and no light was thrown on the caseuntil the states officer conducted aninvestigation-

Before he went to High Springs MrEaton received a letter written ona typewriter advising him to let theaffair alone or he would suffer theconsequences of interference In theface of this the officer went to HighSprings and after securing evidence-on which the two young men werebound over he set about finding evi-

dence¬

against the writer of thethreatening letter There are only fivetypewriters in High Springs and hesecured letters written on all of theseand after comparing them decided on-

o s

i

which typewriter the letter had beerwritten and it was an easy matter todiscover who the writer was This in-

formationj has been turned over to thegovernment authorities

Murder Was From JealousyFrom the evidence secured by the

state detective and which came outin part at the preliminary hearing-the killing of Moreland was due large-lyI to jealousy The three young menit is alleged had engagements with I

young women of High Springs for anevening drive The companion of I

Moreland decided not to go which in-

terfered¬

I with the plans of the othertwo breaking up the plans of Osteenand Bexley

It Is alleged that when Moreland re ¬

turned from a short call to the youngwoman with whom he had an engage-ment

¬

that he was accosted by the twoyoung men and an altercation ensued-in which Moreland was shot and kill-

The Sellers MurderI

For a long while an effort has beenmade to secure evidence against theslayers of Special Agent Sellers of the I

Atlantic Coast Line who was shotdown at the depot at High Springs I

several years ago Sellers was employ-ed by the Coast Line to investigatesome car breakers at High Springs

land when he arrived there at S oclock-in the evening he was shot down with-in

¬

a few minutes after he had stepped I

from the train A load of buckshot toreaway nearly all of his head and noevidence was ever discovered by which

Ianyone could be connected with the I

crime Recently however State De-tective

¬

Eaton has come into possession-of some information which he believes I

will lead to the apprehension of themurderer

admirer of Freda Bauer fifteenyears old frightened her father with-a revolver under pretense of robbinghim took the girl clad only in hernightgown on a horse with him andgalloped with her across country throthe age brush to Laurel a villageeight miles from her house

John Bauer the girls father sayshe recognized behind the huge falsemustache which the bandit woreErnest Hunston a young cowboy whohas often called on Miss Bauer of late

Two men rode up to the Bauerhome a few night ago and callingBauer to the door covered him with-a revolver and demanded money andwhisky Bauer retreated into thehouse saying he would get what waswanted and barricaded himself in his I

room while his wife fled by a rear I

way to a neighbors crawling on herhands and knees part of the way

When help came and Bauer ven-

their tramp Fair weatherwas peopling the decks Dick Clai-borne was engrossed with vivaciousCalifornia girl and Shirley saw himonly at meals but he and Armitageheld night sessions In the smokingroom with increased liking on bothsides

Arm itage saw something of all theClnibornes every day In the pleasantintimacy of ship life and Hilton Clai-borne found the young man an Inter-esting

talker Judge Claiborne Is asI every one knows the best posted

American of his time In diplomatichistory and when they were togetherArmitage suggested topics that were I

well calculated to awaken the old law-yers

fairs¬

as became the daughter of aman who was an authority In such I

matters and found it pleasant to dis-

cuss¬

them with Armitage He felt thepoetic quality in her It was thatwhich had first appealed to him buthe did not know that something of thesame sort In himself touched her It I

was enough for those days that he I

was courteous and amusing and gaineda trifle in her from the fact thathe had no tangible background
