INNOCENT NEGRO HELD FOR HIGH
WAY ROBBERY.
GUILTY MAN CONFESSED.
CURTIS JAMES ADMITS HE TOOK
Guns FROM TWO BOYS.

Gus Robinson Had Been Arrested by
Parents of Young Vistims and
Had Been Identified - Protested
His Innocence, hut Was demanded
by RecOrder-DetectiVes Believed
Him Innocent and Arrested Guilty
Man with stolen PrOperty-Jnmes
Denied AssauIting Young BeviIle.
Detectives Believe He is Wanted
Somewhere.
While another negro is being held
for the same crime, Curtis James, alias
Charles Jones. a negro arrested yes
terday by Detectives Julius Stark and
Frank Wall, admits that he held up
Louis Rogers and Gilbert Beville, white
boys. and took their guns Saturday
afternoon.
James had disposed of one of the
stolen guns and the detectives had
been furnished an accurate descrip-
ton of him The officers were certain
that he was the man who held up the
two white boys near Forty-second and
West Broad streets and took a parlor
fldent in the face of the fact THAI the
parents of the boys had arrested Gus
Robinson, colored. Robinson protest
ed his innocence, although the boys
positively identified him.
The detectives were certain that the
negro was telling the truth, and con-
tinued their search for the guilty man.
In the meantime Robinson was being
given a preliminary examination he
fore Recorder Myrick in Police Court.
The negro continued to assert his in
nocence, but on the statements made
by the prosecutors, in good faith, he
was remanded for trial in the Superior
Court.
James was arrested and admitted
that he had taken the guns from the
two boys His only denial was that
he had assaulted young Beville. He
declared that he had only grabbed the
guns and gotten away and declared
that he had not harmed either boy.
With direct evidence against their
man, in addition to his confession of
guilt, the detectives will appear against
him in Police Court this morning and
Robinson will be ordered released,
The negro who admits having rob-
bed the two boys is believed by the
detectives to be wanted elsewhere. He
admits having shot a woman named
Minnie Scott in Brunswick last March.

tried and acquitted of this offense. He
says that he was in a gambling game
with the woman and several others,
and that she attempted to cut him. He
fired in self-defense, and when tried
a month later, was given his liberty.
James claims that he remained in
Brunswick until he came to Savannah.
several weeks ago, and denies that he
is wanted anywhere. The detectives
will endeavor to learn something more
about the negro.

Because of the. absence of a quorum
the quarterly meeting of the directors
of the Central of Georgia was not held
yesterday. Only the three local d.
rectors were present, and so the meet
ing was adjourned until Feb. 9.
The Atlantic Coast Line has just
received some attractive advertising
matter in the form of small blotters
printed in two colors and equally
handsome posters giving information
of the various side trips from Tampa.
Mr.. Fred j. Robinson, assistant gen.
eral passenger agent of the Central of
Georgia, has returned to Savannah
after making the trip on the Chicago
and Florida Limited from Atlanta to
Jacksonville. Mr.. Robinson is thor
oughly satisfied with both equipment
and schedule of this train, and has no
doubt that it will continue to receive
the. very large patronage that has
marked its trips since 1t was inaugu-
rated, the early part of January.
The last of April, over 1900 railroad
men, members of the Young Mems
Christian Association, will meet at
Topeka Kan, for four-days confer
ence. AS in former years, the rail-
road companies carry these delegates
free of charge, and even the Pullman
Company gives them special favors.
The reasons advanced by the railroad
companies for granting such excep-
tional favors are, first, that the men
are railroad employees; second, that
this conference is so valuable factor
in the good government and manipu-
lation of their business that the as
ISOLATION makes the men more tenn
perate and efficient in their service.
Among the speakers will be Col. John

high in the service. The delegates
will comprise men of every rank, from
switchman to president.

She Took Our Vinol with
Good Results.
WE WANT EVERY ONE TO
KNOW ABOUT 1T.
READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.
COME AND SEE US.

We don't want any one in this city
to drag themselves through life in pain
and misery for the want of enough
strength to feel well and happy.
If you feel hstless, without ambition
and run down, it is bad sign.
You are running grave chances. You
are in a condition to be attacked by
most any disease.
This feeling of debility is a symptom
that your system is generally democrat
lied. You should take tonic.
You should take Vinol, which we
know and will guarantee will restore
your strength.
Following is one case where it did
this. Mrs. T. II. Boyle, of SO Chestnut
St., West Newton, Mass, says:
Last spring l used one bottle of
Vinol. At that time was all run
down and sick. find that it did me
lots of good, and by its use my strength
came back to me-"
Vinol is delicious preparation, con-
tanning the active curative principles
that are found in cod-liver oil, dis
solved in delicate table wine.
Vinol acts directly on the stomach,
aiding digestion and at the same time
creating healthy appetite. 1t gives
strength and vigor to every organ of
the body.
We endorse VinoI, and guaran-
tee its action, and will gladly
refund to any one who Is not
satisfied the money which they
paid for it.

A, MILD CASE:

OF Contagious Blood Poison never exis-
ted. 1t is always bad, though sometimes
no external symptoms of the disease ap-
pear for a long time.
Because the disease is slow in devel-
oping does not indicate that the case is
a mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work in the blood and system may be
spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for ex-
ternal signs. Contagious Blood Poison
does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the groins, a red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
in the mouth and throat, unsightly copper
colored blotches, loss of hair and eve
brows and other symptoms of this rniser-
able disease. When the poison is thus
fighting its way to the surface, exposing
the disease in all its hideousness, we call
it bad case; but Contagious Blood Poi
son, whether working internally or exter-
nally, is dangerous, treacherous disease.
5. 5. S. is the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly and

John De Buhr, q well known Inma- chuk mine owner, is in town. Mir De Buhr went into the lnmachuk section in 1901, locating first on Old Glory creek. In August of that year Mr. De Buhr visited the Inmachuk where it had been reported pans running from , cents to 10 cents had been found. The "Dashley group' was located and good pay was soon found on the'claims. MT. De Buhr Is also interested in other claims on the river.

PLENTY OF PAY DIRT
And It Is Confidently Believed That the Country Will Make
 a Great Showing.

A number of Kobuk, Inmachuk and Candle creek miners and mining men reached Nome yesterday on the Corwin. Among them wore H. s. Van Leer, Geo. w. Slater, Jas. Flood, John De Buhr, k. H. Humber and E. w. Walters, of Inmachuk. All speak in highest terms of the outlook for their respective dis stricts. Mir. Van Leer is a pioneer Ol Kobuk, having been one of the original loeators of the Shunnak last winter. Mr. Van Leer brought down with him . good poke and number of nuggets as the result of a little work on the Shunnak. MT. Van Leer started for the Kobuk in the fall of 1902, but did not reach the scene of the strike on the Shunnak until the beginning of the present year. He has three brothers now in the Kobuk section.
 Not very much work has been done this summer, but the results have been satisfactory. The Van Leer brothers put in wing dam 400 feet long, but it was washed out, entailing loss of 5000 or $40O0 in labor. But work was con tinued, and good pay found. Pans as high as $6 have been found, and behind one rock in the Shunnak river, out of a hole not three feet square MT. Van Leer banned S5G. The abundance of water to be handled makes work diifi- cult in many places, this being particu- larly true of the Shunnak river. MT. Van Leer is interested in Nos. 4 and 5 on the Shunnak, and Jas.
