The local land Office had two callers
yesterday who had evidently been put
to some difficulty To file certain home
stead papers.
The first was Daniel Maloncy, who re-
sides near Thornlield, Ozark county.
He had been notified by Receiver Dun
can that the time for him TO make his
final proof had expired and that it
would be necessary for him to show a
good excuse for his delinquency. The
man at once set out on foot and reached
here yesterday. He said his horses
were being used for ploughing, and ms
the railroad doesn't touch that country
he walked. The distance is not less
than 65 miles.
The second visitor was w. j. Flor.
ence, who resides eight miles beyond
Forsyth, about 80 miles from this city.
He walked all the way to take on,

When Chief Engineer Rohwer was
in the field last week the location OF
| the division ends was made. They will
be at Cottcr, on the White river. The
only condition was the donation Of IO
acres OF land, which was made by Mr..
Combs the owner. The dcpo, location
at this point has also been determined
II will be on the Seawcll land directly
north OF the city limits, being but one
and onc.half miles from the cour, house,
which is very near the southern limits
OF the city.
The settlement OF these two ques.
tions will have good effect in regard
TO where the towns OF the mineral field
will be located. That there will be no
new locations may now be regarded as
certain, and /, is certain that Yellvillc
will he the main town on the line OF the
new road. The building Of the Morn.
ing Star railroad TO thi, city, the en-.
trance at the southeastern limits, Is n
further guarantee OF the supremacy Of
Yellville. The mortgage Of the rail-

the road will run. IL bas already been
filed In three counties, aud this week

DIED WITHIN SIGHT
OF HIS HOME.
George ID. Gould, the Man who Was
Stricken on TroIIy Car.

The remains Of the man who was
taken i'll on a Whitaker street car Fri
day night. and who died shortly after,
being taken 10 the Park View Santa
rum, We're identified at .Henderson's
Sons undertaking rooms yesterday
morning as George D. Gould of rs
Waldburg street, west. Mr.. Gould had
died within sight of his home, and yet
his death was not known by his fam
lily until the day after it occurred.
The only thing found on the stricken
man, which could be used as a clue to
Identification, after his attack, which
rendered him speeches., was a freight
bin for two sacks Of meal consigned at
Pineora, by George D. Gould to G. d.
Gould IN Savannah. Yesterday morn
ing several people who read in the
Morning News Of the death. called at
Henderson's Sons and identified the
body.
George D. Gould was born at Gould's
Pond, Chatham county, fourteen miles
out on the OgeeChee canal, GO years
ago. He was the son of Mr.. and Mrs
Robert D. Gould who are still living
at Gould's Pond. He lived at the place
of his birth, married there and farmed
until nineteen years ago, when he
moved with his wife and children to
Pineora, where he bought another farm.
Last October he moved his family into
savannah. but still worked his farm
at Pinero. He left his home
on Waldburg street Friday aft
ernoon to attend to some
legal business at the office of Mr.. w
l. Gignilliat and nothing was heard
of him again by the family until the
news of his death was carried to them
yesterday morning. They were not
worried because of his absence, think
ing that he had gone to Pineora. 1t
is now supposed that after finishing
his legal business he began to walk
home and had reached Harris street
when he felt the illness coming on
and boarded car. He was probably
suffering too much pain while on the
car to realize his vulnerable and was
carried past his street. though nobody
noticed anything the matter with him
until ne fell at Thirty-first street.
Mr. Gould leaves a wife, six daugh-
tiers, Mrs. H. B. Wingard, Misses Mi
RAM, Edith. Olive. Bertha and Stella,
King. the youngest being a pupil in
the High School, three brothers and
four sisters.
The funeral will take place this
morning from Bethel Baptist Church
at Gould's Pond, Rev. T. n. Lee Off
ciating. The family and friends will
leave the city at o'clock with the
body. The interment will be in Bethel
Church Cemetery.

fore he could make a move the negro

hurriedly left the neighborhood. The
negro took his time about getting
away. and left with the rifle and gun.

DREAMER WILL RUN
To MAKE FIGHT FOR CLERK OF
COUNCIL BAILEY's PLACE.
MAKES HIS ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE CONTEST PROMISES TO BE AN
INTERESTING ONE.

J. Robert Dreamer, Clerk of the
Court of Ordinary, SquareIy in the
Race for the ONCE Now Held by
w. p. BaiIey-says He Makes Fight
After Advising With His Close Per-
sonaI FrIends-WIII Begin nm Ac-
tive Canvass After the Election on
Tuesday-A Friend Advances Mr..
Creamer's Claims.
]. Robert Creamer, clerk of the
Court of Ordinary. will be candidate
for the office of clerk of Council, now
held by William P. Bailey. This is the
most recent political development and
will furnish something for the politi-
clans to discuss for several days.
Mr.. Dreamer said last night that at
the solicitation and upon the advice of
close personal friends he had deter
mined to become candidate for the
office. Mr.. Dreamer has been, giving
the subject careful consideration for
several days and upon the advice of
those who are close to him has decid-
ed to make the fight" said a friend in
making the announcement. He needs
no introduction to the public. He is
a Savannah boy and has risen from
the ranks. He entered politics in 1892
when he was 20 years of age, and a
year later helped to organize the Cit
liens Club. He has grown up with
that organization, and has been active
in every fight that was made by his
faction. Besides being promi-
nent in local politics Mr.. Dreamer
has been prominent in Atlanta in
fighting the battles of his faction in
the House of Representatives He has
held state, county and city positions
and has been in the public eye for sew
eral years. His foresight and sagacity
in anticipating the trend of public
opinion has made him valuable MEM
Der of our faction. Often his advice is
sought and needed in the conferences
of those who shape and control af-
fairs. His main object has always been
to strengthen the Citizens Club and
insure it's success. He has been an
avowed friend of Hon. w. w. Os-
borne, and Mayor Myers, and we do
not doubt that he will have their sup
port. If elected he will be the young
est Clerk of Council Savannah has
ever had and is a descendent of the
first clerk"
Although Mr.. Dreamer has formally
announced his candidacy he will not
begin an active canvass until after the
election Tuesday. 1t is rather expected
that candidates for other city offices
will begin showing up after the May
or and aldermen have been voted for
and the week promises to be an inter-
esting one in political circles.

POLICE HOLD JEWELS
PAwNBRoKERS WANT CASH THEY
GAVE THE "DIAMOND QUEEN"
SAY THEY'LL SUE JEWELLERS.
DIAMONDS HELD ny sUPERINTEND-
ENT REILLY.

Solicitor General Osborne Wont Or
der Their Delivery Until He Is
Satisfied That the Pawnbrokers
Have no Legal Right TO Expect the
Return of 5000 That They Adj

out success-Mntter Will Probably
he Fought in the Courts.
Although Mamie DeCris has pleaded
guilty TO getting 81, 500 worth of dia-
monds fraudulently, and has been SEN
fenced to serve two years in the pen
stentiary, the stolen jewels are stin
retained by Superintendent of Police.
Owen Reilly.
An effort has been made by the vic
Tins of the Diamond Queen" to re-
cover the stolen property. but thus
far without success. Superintendent
Reilly will not release the diamonds
unless he is instructed to by Solicitor
General Osborne and the prosecuting
attorney will not issue the necessary
order until he has satisfied himself
that the jewelers. are entitled to the
diamonds that were pawned by Ma
mic.
The pawnbrokers who loaned in the
neighborhood of 5000 on some of the
diamonds are unwilling to lose that
amount without a fight. They say
that the jewelry was delivered to the
woman by Theus and Desbouillons and
for this reason the case is not the
same as though she had slipped into
the stores and stolen it. The pawn
brokers understand that if the dia-
monds had been stolen in an ordinary
manner they would have no chance
to recover the amount loaned on them.
The jewels were, however, handed to
the woman by the jewelers. and the
pawnbrokers contend that they must
be reimbursed for the amounts they
handed over to Mamie.
An effort was made yesterday morn
ing by one of the pawnbrokers to eff
feet compromise, but without sue
cess, and there will probably be a le-
gal fight. The point raised by the
pawnbrokers is said to be a close
one and pretty legal fight is antici-
pated.
