Augusta Chronicle: In chambers. Sat
urday, Judge Eve was occupied in hear
ing an argument in demurrer of the case
OF the Western National Bank Of New
York VS.. Thomas p Branch. The case
involves $4,000, which the bank is endeav-
oring to recover. 1t seems that in 1892
Mr.. Pat Calhoun of New York bought of
Mr. Thomas L. Branch the 200 shares of
stock of the Augusta and Summerville
Street Railway Company. To pay for
this he borrowed $4,000 from the Western
National Bank of New York, giving them
a note Endorsed by Maj. Thomas p.
Branch, using the stock as collateral
When the note fell due it was unpaid, and
in consequence the bank sold the stock,
for which IL obtained only 500. Now they
are suing Mai. Branch here and Mr., Cal
houn IN New York to get the $4,000 diff
ference in the amount of the loan and
that which they realized by the
aNg - TsrsTr
heard a good deal of the argument and
adjourned until Monday when he will
hear the rest, The bank Is represented
by Maj. Joseph B. Cumming and the de-
tense by Messrs. f. II. & w. K. Miller
1t is claimed by the defence that they
were given no notice by the Western
National Bank that the stock would be
sold, and that in so acting and selling
the stock without this notice the West
ern National Bank should assume all re-
sponsibility OF loss which might have
been incurred by them.
Atlanta Constitution; John Guice, one
of the best known citizens of Rome
showed the Constitution correspondent an
old daguerreotype OF youthful soldier
in confederate gray. with the cheVrons
OF a sergeant on his sleeves and a sword
in his hand, that is interviewer with a
strange story of real life. The picture was
the last one taken of his brother, Sergt.
Albertus T. Guice, who left his home in
member of the Schley Guards, marched
TO the front in 1862. His company became
part of the Fifth Georgia Regiment OF
Infantry, and with the exception of two
furloughs, of ten days each he fought
through the war until the army started
on its stubborn and bloody retreat through
Georgia in 1864. Young Guice had been
promoted to a sergency for his bravery,
and was a most popular young officer ana
a fayorite with the command. Just be-
fore the famous artillery duel at Resaea
there was fight at Turner's mills, near
by. Dr. Green Cheney and others of his
comrades from Schley county, were with
the dashing young officer when they went
into that battle, but when they came out
he was missing. They searched the bloody
field in vain for his body, they watched
and waited for some tidings of Sergt.
Guice, but none ever came, and from that
day TO this his fate has been a hidden
mystery. His aged parents chung to the
fond hope that he had been captured long
after the war was over, and scanned the
face of every stranger that arrived in
the community, hoping to discover their
long-lost son. But. he never came back
and the mystery of his disappearance will
probably never be explained this side OF
the resurrection morn,
