KILLING N'fcAR BOSWELL
There was a fatal shooting affray
near Boswell Friday night in which
Will Ross was wounded and died Sat-
urday night.
It appears that Ross, and his bro-
ther, Alvin, Andrew Adams, Fred
Lack and John Ash had been to a
neighborhood dance. They were re-
turning about 1 o'clock when they met
Ris Gilmore in the road. Gilmore and
Ross had previously had some slight
trouble, and when they met in the
road the quarrel began anew. Gil-
more had been visiting in the neigh-
borhood, and had not been present at
the dance.
After some words, Gilmore claims
that Ross opened fire on him and his
horse was shot from under him. He
arose shooting, and two of his shots
took effect, one in the abdomen, and
this shot proved fatal.
Gilmore was arrested and given an
examining trial, County Attorney
Warren directing the examination. He
was released on $2000 bond.
Ross' body was carried to Paris,
where he was buried Sunday.

Billious Attacks.
When you have a bilious attack your
liver fails to perform its functions.
You become constipated. The food
you eat ferments in your stomach in-
stead of digesting. This inflames the
stomach and causes nausea, vomiting
and a terrible headacne. Take Cham-
berlain's Tablets. They will tone up
your liver, clean out your stomach
and you will soon be as well as ever

everywhere.

Frank's death sentenee was today
eommunted to life imprisonment, and
he was immediately hustled out of the
city to the Milledgeville state prison
by the sheriff. The governor intim-
ated early last night the action he
would take at midnight, and every-
thing was quietly gotten in readiness
for the transfer of the prisoner, the
sheriff being notified only a few mo-
ments before he was to leave the city
with Frank.
If the party reaches Milledgeville
without accident Leo Frank will pro
bably begin work on the prison farm
Tuesday morning.
All day yesterday the governor re-
fused to talk of the matter, but it was

the matter at midnight. It was quiet-
ly rumored that he had decided to
commute the sentence, but there was
absolutely nothing given out indicat-
ing any action on the part of the
chief executive. The announcement
was held up until the prisoner was
well on his way to prison because It
was feared there would be an attempt
to intercept the prison party and mob
violence would result.
The governor later announced that
he would give to the public today a
long statement of his reasons for
granting the prayer of th prisoner
