A MAGISTRATE ARRESTED.

scnting the Attack of Three Buns.

parties were Justice Isaac r Nathaus and

Hceman Kearney.
AT time just preceding the row Fish
burne, with two companions. had gone
into Reilly's saloon on Bryan street and
ordered drink. For this they had not
deigned to pay, and the proprietor had
elected them, with some force from the
place. This action they had not taken in
good part, and all Of them were seated on
The curbing across the street and discuss
ing their imaginary wrongs when Justice
Nathans came w. He had advised the
three men that they leave after the row
with Reilly and they had then taken his
advice and departed
The magistrate had forgotten all about
the occurrence when the trio came up 10
MIN again, and one of them asked if he
had seen the proprietor Of the saloon
strike him. Justice Nathans answered
that ne had not, and with this all of them
advanced as if TO strike him. He was pre-
pared for this event, and the first of the
oncomers struck the earth instead Of the
magistrate. The second shared the same
tate. The third, discouraged by the recep-
ton that had greeted his companions
turned tail and was not seen again.
By CHS time Kearney came up and ar
rested the participants in the row. Jus ice
Nathans gave bail as soon as he was taken
to the station house, but Fishburne was
unable 10 do so. The case viii be investi-
gated this morning by the Recorder.

the embryo saurans over to the good

has not entered into his calculations. To
have a brood of wriggling alligators APP
pear when she was confidently expecting
a fine lot of young chickens, would be
enough to make any fowl sign the pledge,

if she were thoroughly sober and deco

mad. A crazy hen may be a result of

With Their Brunswick Trip.


With Their Brunswick Trip.
The members of the Forest City Gun
Club who took in the shoot at Brunswick
speak very highly of the efforts that were
made there for their entertainment. More
over, they are well satisfied with the
scores they made. DR.. F. c. Wilson won
the medal for the best score, shooting
off a tie of several marksmen and break
ing tweuty-four bluerocks out of twenty
five. The Savannah shots are said to
have won three-fourths of the sweep
stakes in addition to the cup.
The following made up Savannah's rep

The Savannah shots found a sentiment
among the Brunswick sportsmen in favor
of a run up to Savannah for a contest
the club is talking of having here. It
was largely to increase interest in the
newly organized club AT Brunswick that
the Savannahians went down. They are
confident there win be a very good crowd
in attendance if they decide to get up the

THE scHIMKowITz CASE.
1t Is Being Sharply Contested in the
City Court.

The trial of the case of Simon Schim-
kowitz against the Suburban and West
End Railroad for $4,000 damages was be-
gun in the City Court yesterday. The case
was called at 10 o'clock, but at Il o'clock
an adjournment was taken because Of
the absence of witness for the railroad
company. Officers were sent in search
of the missing witness. but did not sue
coed in finding him. The hearing was
continued with the expectation that the
witness will be found and brought to
court this morning.
The case is being closely contested by
Messrs. Twiggs & Oliver, representing the
plaintiff, and MIR. S. L. LaZaron, repre-
senting the street railroad. There were
some sharp exchanges between the at
torneys yesterday. The claim for the
plaintiff is that he, with several other
boys who frequent Franklin square, was
permitted by the conductor to ride to the
market and back in return for their help
in getting the car back on the track by
standing on the front platform and
Weighing it down and that the boy who
was riding on the front platform. was
pushed off the car and fell under the
wheels, losing a leg and suffering other
injuries.
The accident. it is charged, was due to
the negligence of the conductor in sew
eral particulars first. in calling such
small boys to his assistance; second, in
permitting them to ride on the open plat
form, and third in allowing the plaintiff
TO be pushed off the platform by reason
of the crowded condition of the platform.
The defense denies that the boys he'd
been given any permission to ride, and
claims that the boy was a trespasser on
the car and was stealing a ride at the
time of the accident. Conductor Mathews,
who was in charge of the car al the time,
testified that it was the practice of the
boys in Franklin square to steal rides
on the car constantly and that he was
compelled to order them off constantly,
some times as many as three or four times
a day He said that the car did get
off the track a the time it was claimed it
did, but denied that he called upon the
boys to assist him in getting it back.
Some of the boys got on and rode to
the market he said but he did not put
them off until arriving there, as it was
only d short distance and he thought
that the best way to get rid of them.

bacco culture. 1t remains to be seen
whether any Of the farmers have done
as wen as Mr.. Dreese. So far as can be
judged by the size and healthy appear

Mr. Dreese is q splendid article and merits
