WARNING FAMILIES
IN JUSTICES COURT.

GOrdons and Rubanovichs of Yama-
craNv Furnish a Spicy Case.
The affairs of the Gordon and Ru-
banovich families of Yamacraw were
aired in Justice Bevans' court yes
terday afternoon when Mrs. Hannah
Gordon and three of her children,
Moses, Lizzie and Sam, were placed
on trial for riotous conduct and breach
of good behavior, preferred by Mrs.
Bertha Rubanovich. The hearing
was spicy throughout four hours of le-
gal battling and firing between Judge
Twiggs for the defendants, and Attor-
ney w. NJ. Hayward for the plaintiff,
and resulted in the discharge of the
defendants on both charges.
The warning families are near neigh
bors on Pine street and previous to the
day of the alleged riots, about a week
ago, the heads of each family had been
close in a business deal. Trouble arose
between them as to the paying of an
amount of money, which Rubanovich
claimed Gordon owed him. Suit was
brought for its payment, and when the
notice was served upon Gordon his
household took it up.
According to Mrs. Rubanovich and
also by the admission of Lizzie Cor
don, the 16-year-old daughter of Cor
don, the latter invaded her shop and
wanted to know why she was suing
her father and said they, too, would
get a lawyer. Following her came Mrs.
Gordon, who expressed her opinion
freely in the matter. Nose Gordon
came next and Mrs. Rubanovich
claimed that he abused and threatened
to strike her, using language that
cannot appear in print. Sam Cor
don, a 9-year-o1d boy, took a hand in
abusing her in vile language.
On the other hand Lizzie Gordon
admits going to Mrs. Rubanovich for
an explanation of the suit against her
father, and said that the plaintiff at
once took offense; applied to her a
very improper name and chased her
from the store with a broom Delayed
over her head. Mrs, Gordon hearing
her child scream for help and murder,
went to investigate, and they had a
war Of words until she was taken
home by an older daughter. Later on
Nose Gordon appeared on the scene
and, invading Mrs. RubanoVich's shop,
demanded an explanation why. his sis
ter had been abused. He testified that
he was abused by the plaintiff and his
whole family accused of being any
thing but ladies'. He did not resent
the Insult and returned home. Several
witnesses testified to seeing Mrs. Ru-
banovich strike Lizzie with the broom.
Mrs. Rubanovich had two witnesses,
one of them a negro named Simmons,
testifying that he was in the shop and
saw Nose Gordon either strike or choke
Mrs. Rubanovich. He also said that
Frand Gordon, one of the family, had
approached him while court was in
session and had threatened him if he
testified against his brother. This came
very near getting both parties in trou-
BILE, Frank Gordon, if he had attempt
ed to intimidate the witness, and the
witness for perjury, if he lied. Cor
don admitted speaking to the witness.
but said that he had not threatened
The Savannah morning news., 1903-01-28

him, Both were given a reprimand and
discharged
Judge Twiggs contended in his argu-
ment that there had been no riot, as
the law prescribes that two or more
persons must make an attack at the
same time for the conduct to be term
ed rtotous. AS to the breach of good
behavior, he said that there had been
none, as Lizzie Gordon was only ask
ing for information when she was as
saulted and beaten over the head with
broom by Mrs. Rubanovich, and if
there was any misbehayior, it was on
the part of the plaintiff The other
members of the Gordon family simply
endeaVored to ascertain why their child
and sister had been assaulted.
Mr.. Hayward said that the fact that
all of the Gordon family attacked Mrs.
Rubanovich made the conduct rfotous,
and that the acts were all Jointly con-
nected as one assault.
The court believed Judge Twfggs
right and dismissed the defendants. At
times during the hearing the attorneys
fired hot shot into each other, and
while testifying Mrs. Gordon became so
| excited that the court had to threaten
her with a fine, while her attorney
threatened to abandon the case unless
she conducted herself more properly.
A large crowd was present and en-
poyed the proceedings immensely Mr.
Hayward, while not announcing any
future action, remarked to a court Of
, fetal that he would likely take the case
before the grand jury.

Two rural free delivery routes, OF
which a description has already been

John c. Rowland, president of the
Skidaway road, to waive the right to
collect toll from the carrier in making
the route. of which that road forms a
part. A similar concession on the part
of Mr.. D. B. Lester. president of the

and meteorological station at Sand Key,
Fla, and cable connection with Key
West and which in the future is des-
tined to much Importance in the COM
mercial interests of the world, brings
to light a sad but interesting story, re-
lating to the destruction of the light
house many years ago, by a hurricane
in which the lives of the keeper and
several others visiting at the lonely and
desolate spot were lost.
Mrs. H. B. Boyer, wife of local
Weather Forecaster Boyer, of this city,
is a daughter Of one of the lone sur
vivors of the catastrophe, Capt. c. P.
Williams. and from Mr.. Boyer the
facts of the sad occurrence have been
CLEANED as correctly as possible from
what Mrs. Boyer remembers hearing
related of the occurrence.
The cyclone was in 1916. and not in
1874 as previously stated. The keeper
of the light was either Capt. Larkens

A QUESTION OF PARTNERSHIP.
Basis of SUIT IN Justice Bevans
Court.


A verdict for the plaintiffs in the
sum of $40, with S14O interest, has been
rendered by Justice Bevans in the suit
of the SnowChurch Security Company
of New York VS.. Beckett & Beckett,
attorneys of this city.
The case was one wherein the Snow
Church Security Company had enter
ed into a contract with George w.
Beckett, agreeing to give him all of
their collections from this point, with
the assurance that the business would
be satisfactorily remunerative. Mr.
Beckett, on the other hand, was to
pay S5G for the contract privilege, Civ
ing his notes in payment This was
in 1899. Mr.. Beckett paid $50, but re-
fused TO pay the balance as the COM
pany had not furnished him the bus
mess promised. He had been given
but two cases, and had been at more
expense than he had received money
for services. While the contract was
in effect Mr.. Beckett advised the COM
pany to change his advertisement in
a guide issued it, so that it would
read Beckett & Beckett instead of his
own name as it had been. This was
done and the suit was, therefore,
brought against the firm.
At the hearing Travis & Edwards
appeared for Beckett & Beckett, while
J. Z. Church represented the plaintiff.
The question of partnership was the
main issue, Mr.. Beckett contending
and stating that, while the firm of
Beckett & Beckett existed it was in
name only, as both members of the
firm conducted their business sepa-
rately, and his supposed partner had
nothing whatever to do with the con-
tract and note and should not be made
a party to the suit
Mr.. Church contended that the act

IRRITATING TROUBLE
QUICKLY OVERCOME.
II You Only Find ont the Right
Course to Pursue.

Many physicians who advertise to
cure piles, without the aid of the knife,
simply use Pyramid Pile Cure remedies.
They do so because they know it is the
best medicine for obtaining a proper
combination of the most scientific in
gradients for the cure of piles
Pyramid Pile Cure is not in an ex-
perfmental stage, but is an established
remedy and is recognized and used by
the best physicians in the country. Be
ing in suppository form, it reaches the
trouble at once and the healing process
is quick and effective: immediate re-
suits are obtained, and before the pa
tient realizes the fact he has recovered
from the pain, suffering and irritation
which this trouble causes.
Children who suffer from this painful
trouble obtain relief at once. 1t is well
with a very young child to reduce the
size of the suppository before using.
However if children are afflicted with
piles they should be treated without
delay or the trouble may become
chronic. Hundreds of little ones have
been cured with Pyramid Pile Cure
The prevention of piles is better than
the cure, and they can be prevented il
only people would look to the regularity
of the bowels and not become constt-
pated. Constipation and its attendant
ills can be avoided by the use Of Pyra-
mid Pills. The proprietors of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure saw that ii was neces-
sary to use with the majority of their
patients a mild non-irritating laxative,
and the Pyramid Pills for consultation
were the result of much careful thought
and patient investigation. Pyramid
Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills are sold
by druggists everywhere for fifty anc
