him, and he had to call for assistance to

NO FURTHER SUITS YET.

the Next Lot of Claims.

The Millen Heirs Getting Ready for
the Next Lot of Claims.
No further suits have been filed by the
Milleu heirs for the recovery Of property
in the southern part Of the city, nor have
any answers been yet made TO those al
ready filed.
The boundary lines OF the Drayton street
property claimed do not begin at Gwinnett
Street, as was at first thought, but at Bolton
street lane, which is the northern boundary
of Col. Fl. s. Haines' property, and runs
south to New Houston street.
The suits for the recovery OK the land in
clude the improvements as well. 1t is not
known what action the defendants will take
in regard to the defense, but it is probable
that they will make common cause and en-
ploy attorneys together.
The plaintiffs have filed suits against the
owners of the Prendergast and Warning
tracts and against every person who pur-
chased lots from them as well. Each suit is
separate and distinct, but it is likely that
the one for the Prendergast tract will be
tried first, aud its determination will nc
doubt have considerable effect on the others.
A meeting of the defendants In the cases so
far entered will be held Thursday night at
the offics of c. F. Prendergast to consider
steps for the protection of their interests.

Lynch!ng Before the Grand Jury.
Solicitor General Fraser says that as soon
as the grand jury Of Bingham county
meets he will have the lynching Of William
Allen thoroughly investigated aud thoss
who participated in it brought to justice, it
possible.
The solicitor thinks that the worst feature
of the case is that an officer whose duty it
was to protect his prisoner at all hazards,
should have been foolish enough to tax } him
back to the scene OF his crime, where any
reasoning person would have known he
would be lynohed.
The solicitor general said the arresting
officer told him prominent at
torney at Guyton had informed him
that the solicitor general had
no authority to order bin to bring
Allen TO Savannah, and If he didn't take
him to Guyton be would not get his reward
The officer took the advice of the lawyer
aud the lynching was the result.
