Records and Freight Destroyed-Es-
timnted Loss $4,000.
Triton, Ga, May 21.-The depot Of
the Atlantic and Birmingham Rail-
road at Triton burned last night. 1t
is supposed the fire was caused by a
spark from passing engine. No one
was in the depot and the flames had
made such progress before they were
discovered that nothing could be saw
ed.
The local Office of the company was
in the depot and all the papers and
records were destroyed, with all
freight that was in the building. The
loss of the papers and records is the
most serious. The most valuable
freight was several hundred pounds of
copper wire belonging to the Bell Tele-
phone Company, which was probably
worth $1,000.
The total loss on the building and
contents was about $4,000, on which no
local insurance was carried, but it is
thought the company has blanket
policy that will cover a portion, IL not
ALL the loss.

"A number of the members of the
Savannah post will go to Anderson

where elaborate services are to be held.
There will be nothing here, however.
Even the colored division will hold no

FOR PLAYING OLD TRICK.

Charged the Men with Tampering

Charged with working a time honor
ed game upon one of his own race and
securing from him IS. IS. Jim Wright, a
negro "a years of age, was arrested
last night by Patrolman w. F. Sims,
near the Union Station.
Wright is charged with cheating and
swindling and with impersonating an
officer. The offense for which he was
arrested is alleged to have taken place
Wednesday.
w. J. Hall, negro from Bruins
wick, who is here working on one Of
the government boats, was the victim.
Hail was at the Union Station, when
he was approached by another negro
and asked If he did not want a job.
Despite the fact that Hall told the
man he had a good position, he was
persuaded to go with him to see the
man, who wanted to hire some one. In
stead of carrying him to see any one,
however, the man led the way to the
Park Extension. There Wright got into
the game.
How Game Was Worked.
He was walking just in front OF the
other two men and dropped sealed
letter. The negro with Hall picked 1t
up, tore 1t open and exhibited a check
and a 81 bill. Wright turned around
about then and demanded his letter.
The negro gave it to him after abb
stracting the dollar and the check.
Wright rowed about the dollar and
Hall insisted that the man give 1t TO
him. The men then admitted having
it, but said they had both taken it
together.
Then Wright announced he was a de-
tective and that he was going TO ar
rest them both for opening a letter that
had come through the mail. Hall in
sisted that he had had nothing to do
with 1t. but the other negro said he
had. Wright agreed to let them off,

they had. Hall complied. handing over
$s.45.

Wright. The man was pointed out to
the officer by Hall. The police believe
Wright was at the depot to get another
victim.
The man who got Hall to go with
him, was of course, the police allege,
a partner of Wright The officers are
now looking for this individual. Wright
will be given a hearing before the Re-
corder Monday morning.

Superintendent Otis Ashmore of the

Since his Manual has been issued. Mr..
Ashmore has been called upon for the
authority as to the pronunciation of
many ordinary words. Most of them he
has investigated and has cited the au-
thorities..
Two words on which all authorities
agree as to choice of pronunciation, and
which in spite of that, are often incoz-
rectly pronounced, are "either" and
neither" For the pronunciation of
these words with the lei" like IL" in
pine" there is no authority whatever,
according TO Richard Grant White, who
is quoted by Mr.. Ashmore, either of
analogy or the best of SPEAKERS. 1t is
an affectation, and, in this country, a
copy of a second rate British affecta-
ton The "ei'' in both words should be
pr onounced like re" in mete.
Another word very often misoro-
nounced is exquisite" the accent be-
ing placed on the "quis." This is in
correct. The proper pronunciation
places the accent on the first syllable,
"ax."
Still another word is Economical. .
There is a very close balance among
authorities in the pronunciation Of this
word. Either e-ko- nom-i-kal, the 'e
being long, or ek-o-nonl-i-cal, Is q
correct usage.

1t seems Mr.. Saylers, in company

did not know they were game fish and

the deputy game warden if such was
the case. Later he was arrested and
found guilty on five counts. Mr.. Sal

his activity in prosecuting violaters of
the liquor law. Whether this is true
or not, it makes a rather expensive fry

Recently Established Daven-

Position of Importance
WILL TRY KIDNAPPING CASE
Mrs. Hannah SegerhoIn, of Des Moines
Preparing a Stern Fight For Posses.
sion Of Nine Year Old Mabel Potts,
Adopted Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Potts-News Of Iowa.

Des Moines. May lett is stated b,
| the federal court officials now in Des
| Moines that the Davenport branch OF
| the outhern division of the United
States court will be one of the most
| important of the five cities in which
| cases are now tried. George NJ. Chris
tdan, United States marshal for the
southern district, has not as yet APP
pointed deputy for the new court. and
VIII not until he has been notified of its
establishment. 1t is the feeling tina
the new place for the transaction of
federal business will be above Keolxul
for the reason that great part of the
keokuk business has been in the past
drawn from the territory which will
now comprise the newly formed dis
trict.
Mr. Christian has already been
sw'amped with applications for the Of
fee of deputy marshal for the new dis
trict, but has not had time or authority
to make any advances in the way Of
an appointment as yet.
dar will be arranged at the beginning
of the next court year to enable the
new district to be accommodated with
terms of court twice each year as in
the other distriees. The present as
slgnment of cases has been so placed
as to make 1t rather inconvenient to
transfer them and change the dates
but should there be an absolute neces-
sity for the Encouragement it will be
done for the accommoda tion of the lit
isants in the new district.
On Tuesday Judge Mcpherson will
begin the hearing of the case wherein
little Mabel Potts has figured so prom
inently. Last week the 8 year old girl
was brought into the court on the
hebeas corpus writ issued by Judge
Mcpherson and a date then set for the
hearing. Mrs. Hannah Segerholm is in
possession OF the child. Mr.. and Mrs.
Potts are determined to retain her in
their posse ssion and will make fight
in the district court against the claims
of Mrs. Segerholn. who has come from
her home in Montana with the inten-
ton of taking the child home with her.
The fight for the retention of the
child by the Potts family will be based
on the fact that they secured her in an
orphanage in Nebms ska, where her pa
rents had signifed their intention of
leaving her by paying no attention to
the fact that the little waif was in the
asylum. My. Potts states that the girl
has been in his family since she was
but few months of age and that
claim has never been made for her pos
session since that time except by Mrs.
Segerholm, whom they claim Is not the
legal guardian of the child.

A GOOD CROP OUTLOOK.
Prospects in Northwest Iowa Are Now
of the Best. u


Special to Times Republican.
Sibley, May 16.-Ths farmers Of this
locality are rejoicing over the pros
poets of bumper crop this year.
Conditions never have been more ia
vorable than the present season. Small
grain is growing rapidly at this time
and looking fine, and the fair weather
lately has given the farmers a chance
to get their corn ground in proper con-
dition for planting, and a few have
finished that work. The cold and
rainy weather of the past couple of
days will delay work In that line for
time, but with favorable weather
hence, planting will be resumed at
once A larger acreage Of corn VIII be
planted this year in this county than
for a couple of seasons previous. All
fear OF succession of last years
crop failure has been abandoned by the
people and all are serenely happy. No
damage was done by frost in this, To-
cality, as was predicted, al
tho had not the wind continued fears
would have been entertained that
some of the earlier fruit trees would
have been damaged.
