! burn hair neatly arranged upon the
crown of her head who lives with her
mother on Walker street, was before the
recorder at Augusta Tuesday. charged
with public indecency. The charge specih-
| Cally stated was that she was en- disha-
! bile in her room with the window wide
| open and bright light in the house,
! which made a picture suitable for art
/ study visible from the streets. Two ne
4 gro women testified that they were in

! shocked to see Miss Mary splashug In the
! water in O tub The scene provoked so
! much laughter and attention that
/ Mrs. Campbell, who lives in the neigh
! borhood, was attracted to the house, and
she too saw Miss Mary in the bath, or
| ready for il. She reported the case. The
| young girl felt ashamed when Mrs Camp
/ bell came in and surprised her, and she
| showed her modesty drumming under the
! bed, hiding until the room could be cleared
! of women who had congreRated. Miss
! Davis denied she invited women in her
room, and said they were attracted to
! the house by the noise made by her sister
| and herself Miss Davis said she was
| preparing for a bath, and while playing
| about the room her sister accidently tore
| her clothes off of her. The recorder fined
| the girl So After sentence was passed
| Miss Marys mother, who stood by her
| daughter throughout the trial, begged

Augusta Herald: The story of the loss,
| by theft, of s45 in bills, by Mrs. Yves
| Harter, from her residence on Campbell,
between Fenwick and Talcott streets, the
arrest in connection with it Of a youngne
| gresS, the sensation that the theft caused
and the fact that the city detectives had
been given the case in charge, have been
brought out in the city papers, but the
sequel To the story, which is very inter
esting, has not vet been given. Mrs.
Harter has recovered her money. She
found 1t on the window sill of her ROOM
| inside of the blinds The whole amount
was there. IL did not appear that any of
the bills had been exchanged and strange
ones substituted for those that were
in the original roll. Shortly
after the theft, Mrs Harter
went to work on her own account to en-
deavor to get back her money She adop-
ted peculiar way. While having more
or less faith in, the police, she, with
friend, repaired to fortune teller, a
woman, who resides on upper Broad
street, near Hawks Gully bridge
The necromancer, so the story runs, i'm
mediately knew Mrs. Harter. She knew
not only what could have been CLEANED by
previous inquiry about the theft, but she
knew the denominations, etc, of the
bills. She knew, it is alleged, Mrs. Har
ter's life history. She told her visitor
that in two days or two weeks" she
was not positive which, she would get
back her money. The fortune teller told
her client not to worry, to go about her
daily adyocations without distress or
further concern as to her loss-that she
would surely get back her money The
second day after this occurred the money
was found, it is said, as stated above.
Columbus Enquirer Sun: On Sunday
afternoon Messrs. George Riddle, Albert
Mason and Charlie Voolfolk went out to
enjoy quiet stroll and smoke in the
woods. They had proceeded quite dis
lance along the bank of the river, when
they observed in a shallow pool beneath
them water moccasin about four feet
In length and not of unusually large di-
mansions. Without any difficulty the
snake was killed, and with one of the
sticks which had been an instrument of
his death the snake was lifted out of the
water. After he was stretched on the

in the center of the body there seemed to
be lodged a great big ball of something
which EXTENDED the skin outward on all
sides The curiosity of the young men
was considerably touched, and they de-
cided to hold post norton exami-
nation and the mystery explore
Mr.. Mason produced his knife and
with one rip laidthe snakes stomach open
for several inches. To their astonishment
very large frog rolled out on the ground.
| The frog apparently was dead, and lay
for several minutes in state of blissful
Inconsistencies. The young men mar
veled much how 50 small a snake could
take through his throat such q massive
meal as his frogship, and after revolving
the problem in their minds for some time
without solution, were about to turn
away and leave in disgust the problem,
snake and frog all together when the

and left the young men more astonished
than ever
