HARRY WRYE KILLED IN 
BLECKLEY COUNTY.

Was Out Hunting With Two 
Other Men Who Have Been 
Arrested For the 
Killing.
Mr.Harry Wrye, a son of 
Mr.W.F.Wrye, of Eastman, 
was shot and instantly 
killed about two miles 
from Empire, in Bleckley 
County, on Thursday 
last, while out hunting 
with his brother-in-law, 
Mr.Tom Loyd, and Mr.John 
Pittman, an employee of 
Mr.Loyd. 
   Mr.Wrye's companions 
claimed that his death 
was an accident, but 
relatives took a 
different view of the 
matter and swore out 
warrants for both 
Messrs.Loyd and Pittman, 
charging them with 
murder.The gun is said 
to have been in the 
hands of Pittman when it 
was discharged and 
caused the death of 
Wrye. It is said that 
there was only one gun 
in the party, and that 
it was passed from one 
to the other during the 
progress of the hunt.The 
gun belonged to Mr. 
Wrye's father. We are 
informed that Mr.Pittman 
was arrested Monday and 
placed in jail in 
Cochran, and that 
Mr.Loyd's arrest would 
follow. We have been 
unable to learn, 
however, whether or not 
this has been 
accomplished. 
   The body of Mr. Wrye 
were interred in Empire 
Friday. Funeral services 
were conducted by 
Rev.J.A.Kimberly. He was 
thirty years old and 
unmarried.-- Eastman 
Times Journal.
