SAUNDERS is WANTED MOST.
The Saunders sensation is by no means
diving out, and the case has assumed new
phase Mrs. Saunders is now put in the
background, and her husband looms up as
the one on whom public interest will center,
as be has been arrested in Atlanta. "We
know nothing about Mrs Saunders" said
Steve Wiggins, one of the committee on
nurses, this morning, land we care very
little about her and the Mcdonald woman
affair, but we are interested in getting
Saunders back, as matters are accommodating
against him, and we expect to make him
disgorge some of the booty that he has car
ried away"
SAUNDERS BOOTY.
81 have a little list" continued Mr..
Wiggins, land this list contains jewely,
numerous silver spoons, knives, forks, nap
kins and other boarding house appliances,
making quite complete assortment. Intact
there is enough of this sort of stuff missing
to run good boarding house. Saunders, it
will be remembered, stated that he was 60
ing off to Philadelphia TO start boarding
house in that city, and no doubt wanted to
equip himself 50 as to 90 into business right
away. Evidently Sauders has a decided
aversion to returning to Jacksonville, for
as soon as he was arrested in Atlanta, he
sent for Frank Pope who is now a yellow
fever refugee i'll the Gate City, and, after
consultation, Mr.. Pope sent the following
dispatch to Mr. Wiggins:
What amount OF money will you take to
order Saunders released from the charges
brought against him. Telegraph Immediately

pocket, and this morning | sent j. H. Nor

return with the prisoner, and we expect TO
have him here shortly, when full investi-
cation will be made"
HAZEN KEEPS OUT OF TOWN.
William Hazen, the returned refugee from
New York did not come into town this
morning from Burnside Beach as he ex-

of disappointment in the faces of the po-
hcemen when Hazen's face was found miss

At noon to-day Mr.. Nudge informed the
