ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL
 LITIGATION ENDING
NELL OF MACON IS ABOUT TO GET POSSESSION OF THE PROP ERTY-TRANsAcTIoN ON A CASH BASIS.

The litigation which has been pending for several weeks between the three owners of the St. Nicholas hotel is about ended by an amieable settlement and the sale of half interest in the prop erty to Col. William Neill of Macon, Ga, formerly of Savannah.
 Colonel Neill is an old hotel man and has hundreds of friends among the travelling men throughout the United States. He was appointed a colonel on the stan of Governor Terrell of Geor- gia.
 While Colonel Neill has not as yet map ped out a definite plan he has under ad- visement the addition of two, more stories to the present St. Nicholas hotel build ing Being comparatively new the prop erty is now in excellent condition and few repairs are necessary. As soon as certain details are concluded Colonel Nein will take full charge of the hotel cafe and buffet He will conduct it., he says, on the high plane of the past.
 The purchase by Colonel Neill will pre- vent the continuance of the legal fight for a receiver on the part of L. A. stubbleneld and J. A. Payne and the re- sistance on the part of T. G. Hewlett, It will be remembered that MT. Payne who is resident of Cincinnati, asked for receiver and that in his answer MT. Sub blefleld joined in the request. T. c. Hew- lett fought the motion and Judge Jones of the United States court decided not many days ago that with the present evil dence before him there was no necessity for the appointment of a receiver. The lltigant partners then went to work to bring about settlement and Colonel Neills purchase brought this about. While the purchase price has not been announced it Is understood the transas- tion is on a cash basis.
