A Montgomery County Right of Way.

A Montgomery County Right of Way.
Judge Baker, of the United States Court,
yesterday issued temporary restraining
order against Wesley Grantham and Chas.
E. Davis, enjoining them from taking pos
session of a strip of the Chicago & South
eastern Railway, extending across Grant
hams farm in Montgomery county. Davis
is sheriff Of Montgomery county and holds
a writ of ejectment from the Putnam Cir
cult Court.
The temporary restraining order was
granted on the application of the Central
Trust Company, of New York, trustee Of
the mortgage indebtedness Of the road.
Shortly after the road was constructed
there was dispute between the company
and Thomas H. Messick over the latter 5
rights growing out of the fact that the road
crossed his farm. The case came for a
hearing in the United States Court and
Messck did not appear, and decree pro
confesso was entered against him. Suisse
quently Grantham came into possession of
the farm and he has now set up claim to
whatever rights were enjoyed or claimed by
Messick. The complainant claims that the
default of Messick forever bars his heris
and assigns from any rights on account Of
the railroad crossing the land. Judge Ba-
ker set March Is as the date for the final
hearing of the case.

HAS GOOD CREDIT.
Dallas Receiving Bids for $65,ooo.Oo
Worth of Bonds


Selma, December Special.)-Selma to-
day has been the Mecca to which have
Travelled some eight or ten representatives
of large monied concerns of the east and
west, the occasion being the opening of
the bids for the S65 600 of bonds authorized
by the legislature to be issued, the pro-
ceeds to be used to purchase the bridge
over the Alabama river at this point and
make 1t free.
The award of the issue has been the sub
ject of much speculation and the number
of bids received is an evidence of the
splendid credit this city has in the money
markets of the country.
Shortly after the noon hour the court of
county revenue assembled with all present
except Commissioner Phillips, who is sick
al his home near the city. Each bid that
had been received was then opened and
read.
The commissioners went into executive
session, and on opening the doors an
nounced that none of the bids were salts
factory and that the board would receive
other bids up to noon tomorrow. While
nothing of the kind has been stated your
correspondent Is in position to know that
the commissioners are unwilling to issue
bonds drawing over per cent, and they
believe they will get such an offer by to-
morrow.

Travelling Over the State Representing
Himself as Deputy Sheriff

Some INSCRIPTIONS person representing
himself as an officer under Sheriff O'Brien
of this county is travelling over the state,
leaving unpaid bills, which is causing no
little embarrassment, and besides taking
advantage of other opportunities made
possible by such Misrepresentation.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff viii Love re-
ceived a bill from c. d. Cummings, of
Stewards station, for board to the amount
of $2.25, which was addressed to Detective"
Love, care of Sheriff O'Brien. Deputy Love

bill. as he has never been at Stewards
station.
Some weeks ago a man representing HIM
self as Deputy James Ball obtained passage

Besides these, several other instances of
fraud have come to light. and 1t would be
well for hotel keepers and others interested
to be on the lookout for the swindler.

been destroyed by fire. This is near the
scene and in the immediate vicinity of the
assassination of Mr.. Atkinson's wife and
the lynching of three negroes charged with
the crime. Mr.. Lehman argued with the
lynchers and did all he could to save the
negroes. 1t is almost certain that the fire
was of incendiary origin. If the guilty par
ties are caught a lynching will follow.

HAD BEES FOR SALE.

how n Farmer Unwiilingiy Contributed
Shoes for Tramp.
AS I sat on the veranda with the
farmer after supper, asked him II he
was not greatly bothered by tramps,
and his reply was:
Wall, good many OF 'em come
along and want a bite to eat, and some
of 'em are pretty sassy, but only one
man of 'em ever served me a real mean
trick"
Poison your dog?" queried.
1T was meaner than that. We was
eatin' dinner one day In the spring
when hive of bees started to swarm
Id been expectin' 1t and watchin' 'em
and had new hive ready. When
bees swarm they will light on most
anything handy-a limb, a bush OF
even the pump. Jest as the bees began
to pour out of the hive and circle
around, along comes a tramp up the
path to ask for sunthin' to eat. The
queen bee settled down on his old hat
and the hull swarm follered her. In
two minits that tramp's head and
shoulders was covered by bees, and
yells to him for heavens sake not to
try to fight 'em off or he'd be stung to
death"
He must have bsen terror stricken -
/ said.
Not bit Of 1t. sir. He was az cool
as cowcumber, and when / told him
he'd have fn ctnph In ~ j.,
bees was killed off he Just laughed
When they'd all settled down on him
and l was goin' to start a smudge. he

'Bekase you'll either pay me So or
I'll walk off with the bizness and sell
out to somebody else!"
"And you had to buy him offw !
asked.
That's where the meanness came
in," replied the farmer. Them bees
was my property, and I wasn't buyin'
what was my own. He offered to take
81, but l couldn't see how he could git
away with 'em and refused to come
down. Then he starts off. / reckoned
the bees would get angry and sting
him to death. but nuthin' happened.
He jest walked out into the road and
down the hill. and he carried them
bees seven miles and sold 'em fur a new
pair o. shoes"
"And he wasn't stung?"

like the smell o. him. and he padded
along the road as grand as you please.

skunk Farming Falls.

Pierre Soucci, the only man in Maine
who ever attempted skunk farming on
a large scale, offers his place, stock
and fixtures for sale at bargain, and
says he Is going to the gold fields of
Alaska, where he hopes to make mon
ey more rapidly than by skinning
skunks and trying out their oil.
Though Soucci had plenty of minnows
and whitefish to feed to his pets, and
could catch all the rabbits he wanted
with two spools OF copper wire, he
fesses that skunk culture doesn't pay.
Last year he took off 200 pelts of his
own growing and caught about 120
wild skunk. All that time an average
skunk skin sold for s1.15. while good
black one was worth from $3.50 to SO.
Skunk oil was selling for 81 gallon,
SO when Soucci went into winter quar-
ters with 600 skunks in stock he felt
as If he was right in the middle of the
highway which leads to wealth.
Last winter after the ponds had
frozen so deeply as to make the fish
seek deeper water he began to give his
skunks a diet of raw rabbits. For a
few weeks they did very well. and then
they developed cannibalistic tastes
and started in to eat one another, un-
til half his herd had been killed and
devoured by the other half This
spring he raised about 400 young
skunks, all of which did we'll He was
hoping to retrieve his i'll fortune and
get rich in few years, and he had
good grounds for his hope until ne saw
the fall bulletins of the fur trade
Skunk skins, which have been fashion
able for ten years, are no longer in de-
mand, mink, muskrats, and otters hav-
Ing taken their place. The best pelts
that would bring SO each year ago are
now selling for $1.50 each. and poor,
white marked skins are only worth the
taking off. Skunk oil has gone down
81 on the gallon, making rheumatic pa
tients feel very happy, but cutting into
the earnings Of the skunk farm. Souc-
ci could find no profit. He will wait a
reasonable time for somebody to come
and buy him out, and then, II he gets
no offer, he will kill off his stock.

Prize Money for Sampson's Mon.

Washington, July 14.-On the basis
of calculation made on reports al
ready received as to the work Of the
various vessels of SIMPSONS fleet in
the capture and destruction of Ger
vera's ships, 1t is urofficially estimated
that Admiral Sampson will receive
100000 in prize money, Commodore
Schley $4,000, and the captains of the
ships engaged in the fight each $500.
The amount that will go to the sail
ors cannot yet be even approximately
estimated. but will possibly be as low
as $25 to each man. 1t will probably be
necessary for Congress to Appropriate
the money.
The Navy Department has already
begun the work of making up the es-
Inmates Of Dewey's prize captures at
Manila.
