A dispatch from Tuscaloosa, Ala., reports the mysterious death at noon Monday of Arthur Fitts, superintendent of The Tuscaloosa cotton mills, and son of J. Fitts, a prominent banker. He was seen last walking back and forth and disappeared under an old building. A pistol shot was heard, and an employee found Fitts lying on the ground with an ugly wound behind his right ear, and the pistol with one chamber empty at his feet. There is nothing to determine whether it is a case of suicide or murder. Additional Comments: The Georgia Enterprise was published in Newton County, Ga., up to 1905.
