SUBSTITUTION OF CHILDREN.
Sensational Charge Made in Case of
an Important Legacy.

an Important Legacy.
Atlanta, Dec. 29.-Attorney Charles
Hopkins, auditor in the case of Stearns
e Co, against Mrs. c. c. Rodgers of
Lawrenceville, makes a sensational report
that the defendant substituted two chill
dren of James Rodgers for those of an
English clergyman named Meeks. in or
der to defraud her creditors.
For an alleged indebtedness to the chill
dren, Mrs. Rodgers had executed a mort
gage ON a stock of goods in Atlanta, and
a deed to the stock of goods at Lawrence
Vile The deed and mortgage were at
tached by the creditors on the ground that
they were fraudulent.
The case has been pending before Mr.
Hopkins for some time. The decision is
in favor of the creditors and they will at
once get their money unless Mrs. Rodgers
accepts TO the auditors ruling.
The first wife of James Rodgers was the
daughter of a wealthy Engiishman, named
Thomas Ham, and the widow of a clergy
man, named Rev. w. f. Meeks. Rev.
and Mrs. Meeks had three children, two
sons and a daughter but the daughter
died. At the death of the clergyman, an
annuity was paid to his wife, and il was
provided that in case of her marriage, it
should go to her children. Later Mrs.
Meeks married James Rodgers, two sons,
John and James being the result of the
union. Mrs. Meeks died and Rodgers
married again. the second wife being the
defendant in the present litigation.
1t was claimed that the transfer of the
stock to the Rodgers boys was on account
of money due them on account of the
Meeks annuity, but the auditor held that
there had been a substitution of children.

AT New Boston, Tex, on the 14th
there occurred one of the widest and
most desperate street battles that has
yet been recorded in the fighting his
tory of that town. The trouble eman-
ated from fuss over a barbed wire
fence which separated the farms of Ira
Smith and w. d. Hays. The difficulty
was brought before the peace officers
and the men were arrested. At their
trial while a recess was on, the diff
Guilty was reopened. Smith went into
saloon. w. ID. Hays and his broth
ers, Hall and S. j. Hays followed him.
Shooting began at once. Smith, who
is said to have been unarmed, was
killed outright His friends came
upon the scene and took part in the
conflict. They were Jack, John and
Bill Fricks. A general battle then en-
sued When their revolvers were emp
tied, the participants used the butt
ends of their weapons with deadly eff
feet. The two Mr.. Hays were killed
and several by-standers, not partici-
pants, were wounded.
