Brown Used Knife In Church
-------
MACON, April 19.—Julius Brown, a negro, raised a disturbance in a church on Cotton Avenue Tuesday night. He was attending the services and became a little boisterous. When asked by one of the deacons to keep quiet he pulled out a knife and stabbed him. When others rushed to the assistance of the deacon the negro used his knife in the Jack the Ripper style, and succeeded in wounding three more deacons. Two policemen were called, and after a severe struggle locked brown up.

Says Her Boy Was Kidnapped
-------
MACON, April 19.—Mrs. J. R. Everett of Savannah, who came to Macon Sunday morning with the Metropolitan Concert company, in company with her two young children, who were actors in the troupe, has reported that the two men in the company, Alvino and Sabro, had stolen her 15-year-old boy, Preston Everett, from her. Mrs. Everett is very much grieved over the affair. She claims the two men drugged the boy and took him from her.
