Governor Durbin Announces the APP
pointment Before Starting on
N Brief Vacation.
WERE SEVERAL APPLICANTS
EX-SPEAKER ARTMAN CONSIDERED
IN RACE UNTIL YESTERDAY.
The Governor VIII Go to West Baden
To-day and While There Will
Not Consider Appointments.

Governor Durbin announced late yester-
day afternoon that ne had appointed Frank
5. Roby, of Angola, to the position or
judge of the Appellate Court. The an
nouncement sets at rest the speculation
which has been rife concerning the APP
pointment ever since Governor Durbin
signed the bill creating the extra place on
the Appellate Bench.
The names of three candidates for the
position have been kept prominently be-
fore the public during the last two weeks,
and until yesterday morning the friends
of each of the applicants felt certain that
their man would be successful in secur-
ing the appointment.
The candidacy of Samuel r. Artman, the
speaker of the last House of Representa-
tives, was sprung by his friends even be-
fore the bill creating the office had be-
come a law. and as late as yesterday morn
ing there were many who believed, not
withstanding the fact that the Governor
had given no sign of his intention, that Art
man would get it. Yesterday, however, it
was learned that Mr.. Artman had with
drawn from the race, leaving Mr.. Roby
and Judge Vesey, of Fort Wayne, each of
whom had a strong backing, the only APP
plicants for the place.
FRANK S. Roby, the Governors appointee,
is a well-known lawyer of Angola. He has
been engaged in the active practice of law
in Lagrange and Steuben counties for
more than twenty years, and is well and
favorably known in all the courts OF those
counties He also served with marked
ability for a number OF years as judge of
the Circuit Court of the district composed
Of De Kalb and Steuben counties.
The lawyers of this city, who are &C
quainted with Mr.. ROby, highly commend
the Governors selection. A lawyer who has
achieved high honors in the legal profess
sion said last night of the appointment:
Il am glad to hear of 1t. Judge Roby will
prove a distinct addition to the bench of
the Appellate Court. No better appoint
ment could have been made. / have known
him for twenty years. He is a man of

is a man of learning and of deservedly
high standing. He is a man Of absolute

a man of courage. He is deserving of the

fourteen years, were in Police Court, yes
terday morning. charged with breaking
into an l.. ID. & w. car and stealing a box
of toilet soap. The boys belong to what is
known as the Kingan Hill Boys Brigade
of the Indianapolis Bungaloos, and, with
others, who have similar propensities for
stealing, give the police and merchants of
that section much trouble. II appeared that
the soap was stolen for the purpose of
selling ii and TO be stealing something,
rather than for use. The soap was recov-
cred and although one or two cakes were
missing there was no reason for believing
the boys had made such use of IL as the
manufacturer had intended.
In court with the boys were their moth
ers. Ii took Judge DAILY We hours TO hear
all the stories told and decide upon who
were the guilty ones. and when he did he
picked out six and told the others 10 go.

for the animal in continental bills, the
discount at the time in favor of the
English coin being five to one. On
leaving the Manor house with the
house with the horse, Capt. Peyton
found himself surrounded, further
down the post road, by a party of
British troops sent to ensnare him.
In the fight which followed he was pow
erless to guide the animal on which
he was mounted. The horse, finding
himself free to follow its own direc-
ton. carried the wounded captain back
to the Manor house, where the very
daring of the continental officer had
won the regard of Elizabeth Phillipse
in the earlier part of the day, and, to
her credit, she saved him from cap
ture at the hands of the British troops,
with no small risk to her own safety
and liberty.
The first meeting soon ripened into a
love which only eliminated in the
death of Capt. Peyton before York
town and its final apothesis in the
lasting grief and final end of Eliza
beth Phillipses life in London, Eng
land.
These are the historical facts upon
which the play. THE Continental Dra-
goo" is based. The production of this
play will probably be the largest and
most complete amateur performance
given in Savannah. New costumes are
being made for every member of the
cast, and three new sets of scenery
are being painted by the Bernard Ad-
vrtising Company. The performance
will take place Jan. IA. The entire net
proceeds are to be donated to the Sa-
vannah Room at the Confederate Vet
Grams Home, near Atlanta.
