TRESPASS CASES
OBJECT OF INQUIRY BY DEPART

AN AGENT HERE TWO DAYS.
EIGHT SUITS FILED AGAINST LOCAL
NAVAL STORES MEN.

Alleged Trespass Was on Govern
ment Land in FIorida-Govern-
ment Interested in These Suits Be-
cause the Principles of Home

other States in which There Are
Government Lands-S. p. ShOtter &
Co. Plead Want of Jurisdiction to
Similar Suit Brought in Alabama.
Case to BE Tried in United states
Supreme Court, in Appeal, Shortly.
Mr. H. c. Lewis, assistant attorney
ington, left for home last night after
spending two days in the city looking
into the work of the department in
this district. While here he was in
consultation with Mr.. w. r. Leaken,
assistant United States attorney, in
connection with the cases recently
brought against a number of local ma
val stores dealers charged with tres
passing on government lands in Flor
ida, of which an account was printed
in the Morning News at the time the
suits were filed.
Mr.. Lewis would not discuss the OBJ
Ject of his visit to Savannah, nor would
Mr.. Leaken give out any information,
but 1t is learned that the naval stores
cases were the object of his inquiry and
that the government takes an unusual
interest in them because of the princi-
pies involved, particularly the home
steader laws, in which the government
has an active interest in suits not only
in Florida, where the trespass to which
the suits are due, took place, but also
in Wyoming and several other states
where there are government lands
1t will be remembered that the suits
Drought in the United States Circuit
Court, filed in Savannah, were eight
in number, and were against the Ellis
Young Co.. the Southern Naval Stores
Co, and the Peacock, Hunt & West Co.
1t is further learned that in a suit
similar to these, brought against S.
P. Shooter & Co., in Alabama the de-
PENDANT firm plead want of jurisdic-
ton, claiming that its inha bitance is
in the state of West Virginia. This
suit will be heard in the Supreme
Court of the United States in appeal
within the next week or ten days
While in the city Mr.. Lewis was
shown many courtesies at the Cotton
Exchange, the Board of Trade and the
clubs. He was much impressed with
the beauty of Savannah, and expressed
himself freely on the subject

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE,
Catarrh Is Found Everywhere.

Catarrh is at home anywhere and
everywhere. While more common in
cold, changeable climates, it is by no
means confined to them, but is preva-
lent in evry state and territory in the
union.
The common definition of catarrh Is
chronic cold in the head, which if
long neglected often destroys the sense
of smell and hearing; but there are
many other forms of the disease, even
more obstinate and dangerous.
Catarrh of the throat and bronchial
tubes as we'll as catarrh of the stomach
and liver are almost as common as
nasal catarrh and generally more diff
ficult to cure.
Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood dis
ease and can only be successfully eradi-
Gated by an internal treatment. Sprays.
washes and powders are useless as
far as reaching the real seat of the
disease is concerned
DR.. McIverney advises catarrh suf-
ferers to use a new preparation, sold
by druggists, called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, because actual analysis has
shown these tablets to contain certain
antiseptic qualities of the highest value
and being an internal remedy, pleasant
to the taste, convenient and harmless,
can be used as freely as required, as
wen 1OT CIlluTen as Tor aQultS.
An attorney and public speaker. who
had been catarrh sufferer for years,
says
Every fall / would catch a cold
which would settle in my head and
throat and hang on all winter long
and every winter it seemed to get a
little worse. / was continually clear
ing my throat and my voice became
affected to such an extent as to inter-
fere with my public speaking.

state Springs Surprise.
The surprise of the day was sprung
when the state introduced Candace Kel-
ly. who claimed to be an eye witness
to the crime. She said in short, that
a deer went by her house in the morn
ing, and down by the railroad cut on
the Dean Forest road. She said that
later she was out gathering wood, near
the railroad cut, when she heard five
shots fired-three then two.
"Who fired those shots?''
"Mr. Potter answered the witness.
and a dead silence fell upon the court
room, and surprise was shown on every
face.
The witness then told of how she saw
the old man run across the railroad,
and saw him shot in the back. She
said that Mr.. Bourquin did not fire.
On the discrimination the witness
said that the killing occurred right at
the cut, as the buggy was turning into
the road. She said that the elder Pot
ter shot three times in rapid succession,
but when asked by Judge T'wiggs If she
saw him stop and breach his gun after
he fired the second shot said that she
didn't notice. as she was starting to
run. She said that the old negro was
Killed by Ia young man with Potter, and
that there were one or two besides Pot
ter and his son in the woods behind
where Potter stood. These men she
could only describe as white men.
About Conflicting Statements.
She acknowledged that she had told
her husband and counsel for the de-
Tense that she heard the shots, but did
not see any one shoot. but thought
that they were bird-hunters. She eX-
planned that her reasons for making
the contradictory statements was be-
cause she was afraid that Potter
would shoot her if she told that she
knew.
Richard Kelly, Candace's husband,
an old darkey, who gave his age as
l09. and who said that he was alive
when Washington came through Sa-
vannah on his Southern tour, testified
to hearing the shots shortly after the

o'clock. He said that the .sN.--

The Term .Mimicryv in War.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
BY the term "mimicry'' in zoology
naturalists indicate the curious phe-
nomena whereby an animal intfmates
closely the form or color of another
animal, or of some object, by way OF
concealing itself from its enemies Thus
butterflies absolutely inodorous are so
like to others of evil-smelling nature
that they escape the attacks of birds
which reject, Or rathe1 leave unharm-
ed the odorous forms. Similarly we
have insects initiating leaves and dried
twigs, and by aid of the actors ART
escaping destruction. This principle or
mimicry has other and very Striking
Illustrations. One would hardly regard
the markings of tiger as tending to
concealment, and yet it is a fact that
the animals stripes blend so harmoni-
ouSly with its surroundings that 1t sue
cessfully lies i'm wait for unsuspectinS
prey. The zebra's markings, in the
same way, are regarded as aiding its
escape from enemies. A novel appll-
cation of this principle of mimicry has
lately been exhibited in connection
with certain gunnery experiments made
az Aldershot The red coat OF the
British soldier has long been con-
demned as a mark for the enemy
hence khaki and grays have come into
laVor as colors for the protection or
the soldier At Aldershot the expert
ments were carried out on guns and
thelr limbers, by way Of securing con-
eeaiment when placed against a vari-
ETY. Of backgrounds. Six guns were
painted red, blue and yellow. Seen
from distance the color blending

the homicide. and drove along in a jog
trot to the alleged scene of the crime.
This consumed twenty-five Kainutes. On
cross examination the witness would
not state the distance Travelled, saying
that he did not known, but held to the
statement that he had timed the trip,
and that 1t took just twenty-five min

This witness also testified as to a
statement made by the elder Potter in
the office of the Morning News, at
which time he told him that if he
knew who killed Bourquin he wouldn't
tell, and that if the man who killed
him was tried for it, he would furnish
$40 to help defend him. The witness
