other during the past fifteen years.
The case was that OF Priscilla Davis
VS.. Evan D. Williams, and II involved
the settling up OF an estate left by the
mother, a property amounting to sew.
eral thousand dollars. A mlsunder.
standing led TO a disagreement, and
finally an estrangement. The matter
was taken into the district court for
settlement. and neither side would
give in and the case was carried along
from year TO year In one or another
form. The property in dispute was
that OF Watkin Williams, deceased,
formerly well known In the county.
The plaintiff and the defendant
CHANGED TO be In the city at the same
time yesterday, and II further CHANGED
that they both went TO the court
house together and came together
face to face. The brother and sister
had not seen each other for some
time. They spoke and stopped and
passed greetings. One word brought
another and finally the trouble be.
tween them was discussed and a dc
sire was expressed by one OF them
that the disagreement might come ID
an end. A little talk developed the
circumstances Of the misunderstood.

An Augusta gentleman who is a well

An Augusta gentleman who is a well
known authority on fishing. in speak
ing of the great record that CObbOssee-
contee is making. this spring. as a fish
ing resort. said, yesterday, that in his
opinion the excellence of the fishing
was due to the low water. In ordinary
seasons, in the spring the water in the
lake is high so that the fish get plenty
to eat. The brooks are full, and the
little fish that run into them in great
numbers, are easily caught by the big
trout and salmon, who lie in wait for
them around the outlet of the brooks.
And then, the spring rains wash INTO
the water lot Of bugs and insects
upon which the fish feed freely. The
gentleman had proved this fact through
examination Of the stomachs of fish
that he has caught on previous years.
This year, the water is low, aud we
have had no rains. and consequently
this particular portion of the food sup
ply of the fish has been denied them
with the result that they are taking the
fishermen's bait much more readily
than has been the case when the water
was up to the usual spring pitch. Some
of the trout and salmon caught are
found to be full of smelts, but the
stomach of big salmon which the
gentleman caught, Monday, contained
but the body Of a single smelt, and
that was partly digested.
