How He Got Wet.

At last the truth is ont abo ut Glib
Briggs falling into lake in Mono
county. It took COURIER reporter
some time to get the facts, but here
they are:
Glib was sitting on the grassy bank of
"a small lake. Near a large rock ON
the bottom of the lake there waa a big
school of fish. Glib fished induatriously,
but the fish Were bashful and didn't
bite. He baited with worms, minnows,
beef, bologna and red calico.
No fish.
Glib groaned and got desperate. He
threw away his pole, waded out into
the lake and soon became fixture
near the rock. The fish gathered
round him in droves. He could see
their backs and dorsal fins all about
him, He made plunge for the gills
of an exceptionally large one, with a
dorsal fin like plug of Battleax
tobacco. He missed the big fellow,
and in trying to recover himself to
keep from going headforemost onto
the rock, he lost his balance aud sat
down with great force.
He is pretty broad-shouldered where
he sits down, and as luck would have
it, he hit square upon big fish, pin
1oning him fiat to the bottom of the
lake.
The other fish were greatly startled
and confused by this sudden descent.
They scattered frantically in all di-
rections. One of the biggest ones
darted up GIBBS pants leg.
'Helpl Help!n shouted Glib.
| His companions, Nelson and john
son, gathered round him. He was
sitting with all his might upon the fish
beneath him, and holding one leg
aloft while he grasped the bottom of
his pants leg with both hands. With
the assistance of Nelson and Johnson,
he secured both fish. They dragged
Glib and his catch to land.
sIf can't catch fish with hook,
can catch them anyhow" he said.
1t was an aggravated case of fisher
mans luck.

DESERTED MUSCLE DANCER.
Egyptian Freda Is Now in Savannah
Looking for a Job.

Freda Mad, a muscle dancer who en-
tertained visitors to the Streets of
Cairo, during the Elks Carnival, is in
the city in a distressed condition, and
called upon Acting Mayor Dixon yes
terday for aid. Freda made quite an
impression on those who saw her on
the midway.
When she found herself up against it
in Tampa she struck out for Savannah,
and her visit to the City Exchange was
for the purpose of securing employ
ment. She recognized several of those
around the Exchange, and made herself
perfectly at home during her stay. Ac-
cording to Freda. who was born in
Carlo, she looks Egyptian. every inch
of her. She can do any sort of work
and is willing to turn her hand at any
thing in an effort to make an honest
dollar.
That is Freda is willing to do any
thing but the wicked dance which she
rendered to perfection on the midway.
She told the Mayor that she has cut
the dance out of her repertoire, but that
she would gladly earn her living in
some other way. She declared that she
had already turned Bostock down on
an offer to dance at the Pan American,
and that there is nothing doing on that
line. The Acting Mayor stated that if
he learned of a position that she might
be able to fill he would notify her, and
others at the exchange made similar
promise.
Freda told a hard luck story that is
believed by the city officials who heard
her. She says that she went to Jack
sonville with the Bostock midway, and
put up her usual dance, which some are
disposed to think would make Babe
Reil look like thirty cents. Freda says
that she seemed to catch the eye of a
young man on the opening night and
that when he introduced himself after
the performance she was not surpris-
ed. The mans name was Davis, and
he was charmed at the manner in
which Freda. gave her exhibition of
twists and wriggles.
The Egyptian dancer realized that
the show would close in few days,
and that 1t was a long journey back
North, and. too, she rather liked the
looks of the young man. Matters were
arranged and when the show closed
they were married in JacksonVllle.
They left for Davis home in Tampa,
where they lived together for six
months. Freda says that her husband
then gave her the icy hand, and de-
parted for Cuba. She could not follow
and decided to put in at this port.
She says that Davis will live to rue
the day that he deserted her, and she
appears to mean just what she says
1t is probable that If she ever locates
her American husband there will be
an exciting scene, If, indeed there is
not a tragedy. In the meantime F'reda
is looking for a position with the City
Exchange as an employment bureau.

MAYOR MUST DECIDE.
Council VIII Put the ReilIy-Gar.
funIkeI Fight Up to Him.

The move to induce Superintendent
of Police Owen Reilly to tender his res
ignation, and put Mr.. Charles Gar
funkel in his place, as out
lined in the Morning News,
was the talk of the politicians
and others yesterday. After the matter
was made public Mr.. GarfunkePs
friends made no effort to maintain
further secrecy, and declared that they
do not propose to let the matter drop.
The friends of Superintendent Reilly
were aware of what was going on, but
had not been fully informed as to the
plans of the promoters of the scheme
to railroad the superintendent to his
former station. No one had approach
ed him and asked for his resignation,
and those who are seeking to have him
take step backward are only waiting
the arrival of Mayor Myers.
1t is generally understood that the
matter will be put up to the Mayor,
and in the event that he opposes it
nothing further will be done for Mr..
Garfunkel. The members of Council
are not going to take a hand in the
affair, and the Mayor will be called
upon to say whether the police depart
ment is demoralized, and whether Supt.
Reilly is competent. 1t is the purpose
of those behind the move to try and
convince the Mayor that the depart
ment must be reorganized, and that
Supt. Reilly's resignation should be
asked for.
A member of the administration, who
is in close touch with what is going on,
says that when Mayor Myers is APP
preached he will refer the matter to
Council. The aldermen, however, will
turn it back to the Mayor. Nothing
more can be done until the Mayor re-
turns to the city.

THOUGHT CASE WAS DROPPED.
william Whitehurst Wants Judg-
ment in AIimony Case Opened.

L. w. whitehurst filed in the Supe-
rior Court yesterday petition to re-
open the judgment of the court in the
alimony proceedings instituted against
him by his wife, Susie Whitehurst. The
proceedings went against him by de-
fault and the court directed him to pay
SIS a month alimony and $25 attorneys
fees.
Whitehurst alleges that he suffered
the case to go against him and made
no appearance in court because MS
wife was i'll and he had already agreed
with her counsel to pay alimony and
attorneys fees without putting her TO
the trouble of judicial proceedings.
He says further that his wife was Nv
ing with him at the time the suit for
alimony was filed and has been up TO
the present time, and had assured him
that the case had been dropped
Judge Falligant assigned the hearing
on the application for Saturday morn
ing. The applicant is represented by
Mr.. w. NJ. Hayward.
The Savannah morning news., 1901-08-08
TO THE SUPREME COURT.
the Leonard Suit for Alimony Is
Carried by the Husband.

The alimony case of Marguerite E.
Leonard against Stephen S. Leonard
will be carried to the Supreme Court.
Judge Falligant decided the case in
FAVOR of the plaintiff, giving her the
custody of the child, an infant, $50 per
week as temporary alimony and 800 as
counsel fees.
Inc Dill of exceptions and brief of
evidence upon which the appeal is
based were filed yesterday in the Su-
perior Court and will be transmitted to
the Supreme Court for trial there at
the October term. The bill of excep-
lions and brief of evidence were filed
by Osborne & Lawrence. who represent
the defendant.
The grounds of error alleged are that
the court abused it's discretion in
awarding to the mother the custody of
the child and in the amount of tenn
porary alimony allowed her 1t is con-
tended that the courts of this state
have no Jurisdiction over the child, the
legal domicile of both the mother and
father being in Florida, but that if the
court had jurisdiction the custody of
the infant under the facts in evidence,
should have been given to the father.
Additional error is alleged in the
refusal of Judge Falligant to admit in
evidence two letters, addressed to
Mrs. KARL, in Buffalo, signed MAR
guerite," and admitted by the plaintiff
on the stand to have been written by
her. These were ruled out by Judge
Falligant who refused to consider
them. on the ground that they were
written and referred to events that
had occurred before the marriage of
the parties. The material parts of these
letters are reproduced in the bill of
exceptions and they make interesting
reading.
