FINDINGS OF THE COURT.

The colony receivers filed a
final report on Monday afternoon,
as court had about finished for
the day, showing that they had
fully and faithfully administered
the great trust entrusted to them
and at once asked to be discharg-
ed and their bonds released.
They showed that they still held
a balance of $4,000. Attorney
E. w. Ryman informed the court
that he held some unpaid stock
and desired the court to grant
him an order on the little fund
left. Judge Roberts informed
him that all colony matters for
the present were in "statu quo"
and signed an order, drawn by
Crovatt and Whitfield, attorneys
for Lewis J. Allen, fling the re-
port and ordering the clerk Of
court to spread the report upon
the minutes of the court for
future reference pending the ex-
animation of same by plaintiffs
attorneys.

by the court stenographer. The

tions, or in other words, you
ought to have sued sooner" 1t

ST, 800 principal of the account
with several years interest if out
1awed at all outlawed between
the dates Judge Roberts signed
an order of Intervention and the
date of filing the petition in the
clerks Office.
The Intervenor took the po-
sltion that no filing was neces-
sary: that the case vas in court
when Judge Roberts signed the
order making Kicker a party.
The auditor, Hon. E. D. Graham,
admitted that he had never heard
the question raised before and
he took several months to ponder
on it, but finally decided the
claim was barred by the statute.
His summary of conclusions
we're in part as follows:
I find that on the 18th day of
November 1902, defendant (Co1-
ony Company was indebted to
The American Tribune Co., and
P. H. Fitzgerald upon the ac-
count sued on in the sum of
81, 354.99 and that said account
was transferred in writing by
said creditors to Geo. E. Kicker,
Nov. IS, 1902.
I further find that an order
was granted, Decemb Der 3rd 1902,
allowing said Kicker leave to file
his Intervention, but that said in
PREVENTION was not filed in the of.
fee of the clerk of said Superior
court until January 31st, 1908,
more that four years from the
date of the last item of the ac-
count sued upon. I therefore
sustain the plea of the statue of
limitations filed by the defen-
dant."
In other words the Auditor de-
cided the account was, under the
evidence, honest and just, but
that the delay of fling the petit
ton after the order of interven-
ton was signed had barred the
claim.
And this is the sweet morse1
that is rolled under their
tongues by those gentlemen who
find it convenient to, for all tim e,
let their wives and other friends
and relation own all the property
which the family acquires. The
statute of limitations has been
apt1y termed Dead Beats De-
Tense" It seems to the Citizen.
as we'll as to all others who take
pride in paying their debts and
allowing no judgments against
them to cumber the records of
the county wherein they reside,
that it is highly appropria e and
proper that this cry Of impro-
priety il paying the Just debts
of the Colony company should be
circulated by dead beats who
consistently feel a virtuous indig-
nation against anybody who
pays his debts regardless Of the
statute Of limitations.
But the Intervenor did not
rest satisfied with the decision of
the Auditor who in a letter to
the Intervenor's attorney ex-
pressed his doubt as to the cor
rectness of his own decision, and
appealed to the Superior court to
set aside the Auditors decision,
Insisting that the claim was not
barred, and that the statute did
not begin to run against it until
July 20, 1899 which was the date
of the last payment on the ac-
count.

stating that each and every one

doing"
From the Citizen.
Col. E. w. Ryman has been to
st. Charles, Mich, which is the
home of Lewis J. Allen, who is
the petitioner in the case against
the colony receivers. The visit
at this time has caused some
speculation, not only as to the
importance to the attorney and
the receivers, but as to the effect
the visit will have on the case.
1t is quite evident that large
number of people are anxious to
see the report of the receivers
and their explanation of certain
transactions involving the pay
ment of large sums of the col
ony company's money, under
consent orders" Of the court
Fitzgerald Enterprise.
The above is worthy of con-
sideration by us, and shall re-
ceive attention.
Mr.. Ryman went to Saint
Charles for the purpose of bring
ing Mr.. Lewis ]. Allen to Fitz-
gerald, believing Mr.. Allen to be
in possession of evidence which
would tend to prove a Fitzgerald
citizen guilty of forgery and per-
jury. When he arrived at St.
Charles and interviewed Mr..
Allen(who he found to be a most
estimable gent1eman,)it was as
certained that Allen could not
furnish the desired evidence.
Mr.. Allen was shown court rec
ords of Irwin county which
made him believe it vas d sir
able to revoke the power of attor-
ney he had given w. B. Moore,
and he and his worthy wife
signed a revocation; which, upon
their request, Mr.. Ryman pre-
pared on the only piece of paper
in the house, and which happen
ed to be the sheet which contain
ed on one side a notice given by
W. B. Moore to the Receivers.
This instrument was witnessed
by Mr.. Ryman and a neigh Dor
who happened in, and also by a
justice of the peace of Saint
Charles.
Lack of time prevented our
staying and getting this doc
ument in shape, but while on the
road home, having a couple of
hours of spare time between
trains, Mr.. Ryman prepared an
other revocation on fresher and
cleaner paper aud sent it to Al
len to sign before notary pub
lie.
Friday we received a letter
from Mr.. Allen saying he had
decided to not sign the second
instrument of revocation, and
concluded his letter as follows:
1T may seem like setting a
thief to catch a thief, but it
seems about the only way to get
even for what I invested in the
Colony Company"
A word as to the consent or
ders" of the co ,rt referred to in
the article in the Enterprise. In
order to assure the Enterprise
and its readers that the consent
orders" were right aud honest,
it is only necessary to state that
esch and every one of such or
ders was consented to by Col.
D. B. Jay, a most honorable man
and lawyer, and the chairman of
the board of directors of the
company that publishes the En-
terprise, and the trusted and
valaed friend and adviser of the

The Injunction on Colony
Receivers Made Permanent
from Artie Jones Little Paper.

From Artie Jones Little Paper.
In last weeks issue we gave
our readers a letter from Lewis
]. Allen, of Michigan in reference
to the Injunction upon the colony
receivers and in which letter it
appeared that the plaintiffs had
abandoned the case. According
to the following letter of late date
from the same parties, and from
the findings of the court at Irwin
vile last Monday, it seems the
injunction still holds and is made
permanent:
LETTER NUMBER TWO.
st. Charles, Michigan, 1O-18-'O4.
Wv. B. Moore Esq:
Dear Sir:-Telegrams of II
inst, from your attorneys and
yourself came yesterday. had
written you on the 18th of Mr..
E. w. Rymau's call and that we
had given him revocation of the
power of attorney we sent you.
After he left, some information
reached us to the effect to change
our minds and as the document
given Mr.. Ryman was informal
and no good under Georgia laws
(this we learn since answering
your telegrams) we have declin-
ed to renew it; so our il1.advised
action of the 18th doesn't count.
While I am disenchanted of Fitz-
gerald and many of it's people, I
deem this information due to you
under the circumstances. Touch
ing colony suit we will endeavor
20 act on your suggestion to
stand pat Yours Respt.,
LEWIS J. ALLEN"

Delegates in a Mix-up.
Especial from Aisea.) J

r q. Mires, Marion Hayden and NJ.
S. Rickard met with quite catastrophe
on last Friday evening. The trio had
been in attendance as delegates to the
Republican conventions, and on leaving
Corvallis the next day it Was agreed upon
to drive to the Mires home and there re-
main for the night. After reaching there
and partaking of an excellent supper pre-
pared by Mrs. Mires, Mr.. Rickard and
Mr.. Hay den concluded that since the
moon would soon rise, they would walk
on to their homes that night. Thereupon
! Mr.. Mires generously offered to hitch his
team to his hack and drive them home.
They had reached point in the county
road about one hundred Yards west of
| where the Mres road intereects the county
road when they concluded the rig vas
! out of the road. The moon had not
i risen and neither road nor horses could
be seen. Hayden and Rickard were de-
tailed to get out of the hack and make
to remain in the rig and hold the lines.
When Hayden and Richard alighted
from the upper side of the fitting rig,
over it went, taking Mires, horses and
all over precipice of rocks, stunps and
and logs into chasm far below. In the
intense darkness, nothing could be seen
except the fire flashing from the clashing
shoes of the horses.
A moment later everything was still as
death. Hayden was the first to break
the awful silence, shouting, bob, are
you hurt?" His only reply was the
mournful sound of the wind as it gently
famed the tops of the majestic treea.
After calling to Mires several times with
no response be turned to Rickard who
stood in the ruad near him, and said, II
guess Bob's gener." By this time
Mires had caught his breath sufficient to
speak and called for matches. While all
three of these men are smokers, strange
to say not match could be found in the
crowd. RIckard had matches in his
grip, but his grip was somewhere in the
wreckage on the side OF the mountain.
While Hayden was making record as
a sprinter toward the Mires home for a
lantern, Rickard luckily stumbled onto
his valise and by striking matches
furnished light with which they were en-.
ab1ed to cut the harness and free the
horses. Miraculous as it may seem
neither horses nor driver were seriously
injurei. The frightened animals were
led around the side OF the mountain and
back into the road by the time Hayden
had returned with light. For the sec
ond time on this same evening Mr.
Mires extended an invitation to his
friends to partake of his hospitality TO,
the night, and this time they unhesitat'
Iingly accepted it.
