The Savannah morning news., 1902-04-06

There has naturally been good deal
of interest among the readers Of the
Morning News concerning the old col
ored man known as Uncle Mingo,"
and whose name has grown so famil-
lar.
Many efforts were made to induce
the old man to sit for his picture, but
he always steadfastly refused. He is
very modest, and could not understand
why they wanted to put his likeness in
the paper.

full attempt was made to get a snap
shot of him while in the little restau-
rant where he usually goes for his
meals. Luckily, too, at the time he
had on his other clothes, so that he
made a most respectable appearance,
as will be seen from the above repro
duction.
He was a little taciturn that day;
and in an effort to draw him out, he
was jestingly told that the lawyers OF
Savannah were not at all pleased with
the way he had been talking about
them lately. that they did not like it
a bit.

Iowa Falls, Jan. 1l.-County Attorney
Frank H. Noble, of Eldora, has just filed
with this city a claim for 100000 Mr..
Noble having been appointed to settle
the estate of the late George Hovey, this
claim is made by the widow on account
of the accidental death of her husband
in this city on Oct. 81. This claim is
based on the allegations that the de-
ceased met his death while at work in
a water main ditch that 1t is claimed
was not properly protected with curb
ing, permitting the sand to push the
curbng on the workmen and crushing
Mr.. Hovey, and from the effects of such
INJURIES he died few days later. Why
the city should be held liable in this In
stance is not known, as the water mains
were being put in by contract and the
work on the Improvement was wholly IN
the hands of the contractor, who was TO
complete the work with the exception
of furnishing the pipe for the mains.
The claimant In this instance is in very
poor circumstances, and while the acct
dent that resulted in the death Of her
husband and the breadwinner of the
family is deplorable, the liability OF the
city, after having let the contract, APP
pears somewhat clouded.
