STOPPED THE SHERIFF.
Belle McGirt Was About to BE Dis
possessed of Her Property.

possessed of Her Property.
On application of Belle McGirt,
through her attorney Shelby Myrick.
ESQ., a restraining order was issued
yesterday by Judge Barrow, directed
to Sheriff Schwarz and his deputies.
enjoining them from dispossessing her
from the property now occupied by
her, but to which Robert Culver claims
title. The hearing of the case on its
merits was set for Feb. Q.
About a year ago a suit for the land
involved was filed in the Superior
Court by Robert Culver against Sarah
McGirt, the mother of the applicant
for Injunction. No defense was made
thereto. and judgment was duly rem
cered and writ of possession to the
property was placed in the hands of
the sheriff. Under the power con-
tanned in the writ. the sheriff ordered
the occupants of the premises 10 va
cate them by the 18th inst: otherwise
tnelr belongings would be thrown into
the street.
But it seems, according to the peti-
ton for Injunction filed yesterday.
that the title to the land is claimed by
Belle McGirt, and not her mother
against whom the proceedings were
had. The applicant for injunction ex-
hibits to the court her abstract of til
tie, purporting to show adverse pos
session under color of title for seven
years.
The property in dispute is worth
about $1,000. The trial of the case
will probably involve several neat
points, and the outcome will be watch
ed with interest. The property is
known as lots 1877 and 1893 in C. j.

VERDICT AFTER SIX YEARS.
Amelia Lockett's Title to Land Con-
nrmed by Jury.

After a two days trial. the jury IN
George Fawcett, which has been pend
Ing in the courts for more than six
years, returned a verdict last night In
favor of the plaintiff. after few min
utes deliberation. This is the second
time that the case has been tried, a
mistrial having previously resulted in
the trial in 1900.
The land which was the subject Of
the litigation consists of twenty-seven
acres near the Georgia Car Works. In
1896 Fawcett went to the premises on
which the plaintiff had a house, and
on which were fruit trees and land in
cultivation, and which was occupied by
her daughter and began to tear down
the house.
She applied to the court for an in
junction, and a temporary restraining
order was granted. The case never
came on to trial until four years after
wards, when in 1900, a mistrial resulted.
This was due to the fact that when the
plaintiff amended her plea and claimed
title to the land, the defendant claim
ed surprise.
The plaintiff claims title to the land
by virtue CT a purchase from the
Montmollins, as long ago as 1877.
claiming to have paid the purchase
price from time to time, until the land
lad been paid for. The defendant, on
the other hand, claims the title to the
property by virtue of recorded title.
Amelia Lockett has died since the
institution of the suit, and her daugh-
ter has been made plaintiff in her
place. Sambo Jefferson, one of the star
witnesses for the plaintiff at the trial
of the case in 1900, has since that time
died. and his evidence is being intro
duced by dispositions.
Sambo was SO years of age at the
time of the last trial. and said on the
witness stand that he remembered very
distinctly the Cherokee war. Sambo's
memory was no doubt somewhat bad,
like old Cherokee Kellys husband. his
memory antedated his birth by a
number of years.
Much time was consumed in the trial
OF the case in argument over the adj
instability of testimony, and numer-
Gus knotty legal proposition presented
themselves for solution by the presid-
Ing judge. The PLAINTIFF was repre-
sented by Twiggs & Oliver, and the
defendant, by Garrard & Meldrim.

VEGETABLES ARE SCARCE
As Result of Damage by Recent Cold
weather

AS result of the recent cold snap
and freezing weather of the last few
days, vegetables were scarce in market
yesterday, that is, those of local growth,
though produce from further South was
in ample supply and sold readily.
Local truck farmers stated that crops
of cabbage, lettuce and other late win
ter produce, were damaged considera-
bly, by the weather of the past week.
They stated that the gardens were in
good condition, owing to the very mild
weather of the last several weeks, and
believe that the most of the crop will
come out alright, providing there is not
another freeze in the next week or two,
as only the tops were "scorched," and
that few days of warm weather and
rain will materially aid in bringing on
fresh growth.
There is not much planting being
done now. but in the next month the
sowing of celery, lettuce and other
early spring vegetables will begin, and
unless the spring is late in arriving,
the market will be in good condition,
and well supplied at the usual time.

COULDN'T STRIKE HERE.
Savannah Firemen Are Sworn on
GERS and Under Bond.

The strike of the members of the fire
department in Tampa, an account of
which was published in the Morning
News. was read with interest in Sa-
vannah yesterday. Chief Harris was
resident of Savannah about twenty
years ago, and was engaged in the up
holstering business.
For this reason the strike of the Tam
pa fire iaddies was doubly interesting.
Supt. Mcguire of the Savannah fire de-
partment knows Chief Harris very
well, and discussed the troubles of the
Tampa fire fighter. The thing could
not happen in Savannah, according to
Chief Mcguire. The firemen in this
city are sworn officers, and are re-
quired to give thirty days notice of
their intention to leave the department.
They are also under bond. and in this
way the city is protected. The Tampa
hremen organized a union and went
out when Chief Harris refused to rein
state three men who had been dis
charged.
