THE MONEY Is GONE.
Peculiar Suit to Recover Life Insur-
ance Money.

An interesting suit, involving So,
600 lite insurance money, was filed
in the Office of the clerk of tie SUI
perior court today.
The suit is brought by Capt. R.
W. Boone, of Marietta, administers
tor of B. F. Cooper, and is directed
againt the American Trust and
Banking Company and Clifford An
derson, guardian OF J. II. Cooper,
who is in the insane asylum at Mills
ledgeville.
The suit in substance makes the
following allegations:
B. F. Cooper died on November
End, 1898, in Orange county, Flori-
da, intestate. j. Il. Cooper, of At
lanta, brother Of B. f. Cooper,
was appointed administrator and
took charge of the estate in Decem>
Der, 1898. Among other assets of
the estate was lite insurance polls
cy for $4,000 payable to the legal
representatives of B. f. Cooper.
On December 10 J. IL. Cooper re-
ceived check for the full amount
payable to him as administrator.
Cooper deposited the check in the
American Trust and Banking Com
pany to his own private account,
with the knowledge of the bank that
it was an asset belonging to the es.
tate of B. F. Cooper. By crediting
the amount to Cooper's individual
credit the bank jointly, it is alleged,
Incorporated the fund, for which
the bank and Cooper became liable
to the estate of b. f. Cooper, and
the petitioner is entitled 20 recover.
On December Goth j. Fl. Cooper
became violently insane while in
Florida attending to matters con,
nected with the estate. He was 80
adjudged and the letters of admins
tration previously granted him were
revoked without a settlement with
the creditors having been made.
In April, 1894, Boone was app
pointed administrator, and he now
claims the S., 900 in order that he
may pay the creditors of the estate
and divide the remainder among the
nine heirs Of B. F. Cooper ATTAIN

His Saurian or Batrachianship.

EDS. JOURNAL will presume to say
from the description given that the little
animal found in Mr. Willinghams WELL is
what is called a water dog" saurian,
perhaps batrachian, as he is more close
ly allied to this species than to the former,
but may be classed with the group of sal,
amanders that are said to be fire proof,
and with inguanos, geckos monitors and
the green, sometimes brown, anolises, our
chameleons, and the skinks, one blue.ta:l>
ed lizard. Some of these are amphibious
and some are terrestrial, some. have fiat
tailc, some have sharp oval heads and cons
ical tails, and according to the shape of
their heads and tails and the insertion of
their solid or hollow teeth and the pecu-
liar formation of their feel, ARE divided into
pleodonts and coelodonts, the former PEE
culiar to America, the latter to Eastern
countries The pleAdonts are mostly am>
phibious, the coeleoonts terrestrial, some are
ovporous and some are viviparous, and,
like viviparous and oviporous snakes, are
considered poisonous and harmless
The puppy alluded to is generally found
near the surface of the ground in wet and
boggy places, therefore must have fallen
into the well. will not lay any claim to
his saurian or guardianship as alluded to
