"ucn these .utiemeu are resuMct.
Cue trouble ated some seven or
eight Years a.. q eliminated in per-
sonal difficulty a. col. Smiths farm, at
the time MIR, Williams was a member
OF the grand Jury committee to in
spect the camp. After that time very hard
feeling existed between the two gentle
men, and ut every political contest they
were always found on opposing sides.
At the last term OF OglethOrpe court MIR.
Williams was witness in case in which
Col. smith was interested, and his testi-
mony was SO perfectly fair to Col Smith
that the big heart of that gentleman was
touched, and he spoke most kindly Of his
old zoe. MIR. ROane, who was on good
terms with bOtn parties, took upon him
sell the Office OF peacemaker, and happily
succeeded. The gentlemen had agreed to
shake hands when they met as il nothing
mad disturbed their Old pleasant relations.
Suit is brought by the heirs Of Edward
Ware VS.. ;. l.. NJ, Barlow, of New York,
for the recovery u lot of land No. III, In
Twelfth district and first section OF
Lumpkin county, ana the mesne pronts
on rents due from the mining OF said lot.
Leaving out the various legal points IN
vUlVed, the lot has quite a history. IL is
the only lot of land mentioned in the old
Pigeon ROOst Mining and Banking Com
mining corporations chartered in Georgia
and ard an extensive business about the
Ime Of the removal OF the Indians from
that section. 1t failed Ike most reckless
enterprises Of mining SPECTATORS. The
bills issued by the company continued TO
make their appearance up to the war, but
since then none have shown themselves.
Allen Mathis, the grandfather of
Hon. A. d. Gambler was, the President of
the Pigeon Roost Mining and Banking
Company, and it was upon this lot that
Hon. 4. y. Gambler was born. This cir
cumstance in his famous campaign
against Emory Speer was the reason he
was dubbed "Fhe Plow Boy of Pigeon
ROost." The amount involved is the
largest that has ever been tried IN Lump
kin county. Judge Wright, in concluding
bis address to the jury, showed by the
proof, as he claimed, that his clients were
not only entitledto recover the land, but
$3.50, 600 for rents. This preliminary trial
is only making a record Tor the Supreme
Court to pass upon.
DahlOnega Signal: Since the murder
OF Lawson Saline suspicion has rested on
Jack Turner, Mart and John Lingerfelt,
the three young men who met and talked
with the TWO Saines at the branch, as the
murderers. suspicion was at first aroused
by the action of the three men when they
few moments after he had been shot, one
of them remarking that lit WAS 80 that
done the work" This was a queer re-
mark, as il he knew whether it was a
pistol or gun shot. 1t is said that they
were laughing when they came up. The
tracks found in the field correspondent
with the shoes worn by Turner, the heel
being off one of the shoes. The SUPPOSE
tlOn Is that after leaving the two Saines
fhgrr Ilrragf gI,NrsN a. "A
while two of them waited in the swamp,
the other one hurried through the field
and got to the position on the side of the
road from where he shot Saline. The MUIR
deTer then fastened back to his COM
panions and the three hurried OFF.
1t is also stated that they have
been heard to remark since the
murder that "Jhe wrong man was shot"
evidently meaning that the shot was in
tended for Maxwell, the young man who
accompanied his Uncle Lawson. Other
things said and done led to the belief that
these men were the guilty parties, but
when the Coroner's jury adjourned to
meet during court little was said in the
neighbornood of the murder as possible,
aud suspicion was thrown on other par
ties so as to keep these men in the county
until further clues could be obtained. On
Thursday, the day appointed for the CorO-
subpmnaed, and not suspecting arrest,
owing to the quiet manner in which the
thing bad been kept, came into town.
They had not been here twenty minutes
before they were arrested and placed in
jail. They had nothing to say, but quietly
submitted. The evidence against them is
purely circumstantial, but was thought
sufficient to cause their arrest. Shortly
after the arrest the Coroner's Jury rem
a
collected Lawson Saline came to his death
by the hand of one of the men arrested,
and that the others were implicated.
