RAIN STOPPED THE SALE.
West savannah Lots Were Going
With n Rush.

The sale of lots and houses at West
Savannah, which had been advertised TO
begin at $50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
schedule time. Before the sale was con-
cluded. or even half over. however. it
had to be called off on account of the
rain.
The sale was conducted by Messrs. c.
H. Dorset and Youmans & Demmond,
Mr. Dorset acting as auctioneer. There
vas good crowd in attendance AMI
bidding was lively. until the rain inter-
Vened. Mr.. Dorset was In fine fettle and
the attendants at the sale in high, good
humor; the lots would all have been sold
al prices satisfactory TO both buyers and
sellers had not the inclemency of the
weather necessitated the postponement
of the sale to some day of fairer skies
and less moisture.
There were eight houses. good, sub
stantially built, two-story structures,
standing upon eight of the lots to be sold.
All of the lots holding the houses and
most of the Others were thirty by one
hundred feet in extent. Only two of the
houses We're sold, one of them bringing
$3.50 and the other $500, Mr.. Dorset sold,
besides, eighteen unimproved lots at
prices ranging from Sr24 to $2O2.50.
For the last half hour the sale was con-
Quoted in driving rain, which interfered
with the comfort OF the auctioneer and
the bidders. Finally the downpour had
become so heavy and incessant and Mr..
Dorset so exceedingly damp, that he was
compelled to give up in disgust
There are still six houses and more
than twenty lots to be sold, which will
be disposed of at public outcry some day
in the near future. The affairs of the
Savannah Cottage and Improvement Com
pany, which owns the lots and the houses,
are to be wound up and the sales Will
be confined until all of this West Savan-
nah property owned by the company has
been transferred to other owners.
The buyers yesterday were of a good
class of people, and Mr.. Dorset pro-
nounced himself entirely satisfied with
the sale from every standpoint. The only
thing he regretted was its enforced
breaking-off before all the lots were sold.

ever your opinion of poor Blocker may be
that he spake parable when he said
"Wiehrs, you're a d fool?"
The arguments were concluded at $50
o'clock. when Judge Falligant charged
the jury. After being out something
more than an hour il returned a YER
dict of guilty. with recommendation 10
punishment as for misdemeanor and a
further recommendation 10 the extreme
mercy of the court.
Judge Failigant permitted Wiehrs TO go
on his own recognizance until this morn
ing when sentence will be imposed. 1t
is probable that Judge Falligant will re-
gard one or both of the recommendations
of the jury.
