A War Claim Investigated.


Mr.. Stanhope Henry, of Washington
City, was here last Friday taking testi-
mony in the case of the heirs of the
late G. W.. Gardner, which is now
pending before the Court of Claims.
Mr.. Garhner lived at Old Harrisburg
during the civil war, and the Federal
troops under General Hatch, destroyed
considerable property for him. The
testimony of Mrs. Eleanor Smith,
daughter of the late G.. w. Gardner,
P. A. Green, Jas. Nunnalee and Mr..
H. M. Sample, who knew of the circum-
stonces at the time, was taken. Mr..
Henry represented the United States
government, while the claimants were
represented by Mr.. G. P. Long. The
rights of the claimants seem to have
been we'll established under the rules
governing in such cases. The question
of the value of the property destroyed
could not be definitely determined, and
if the claim is reported favorably, an
approximate valuation will have to be
reached in some manner. The loss oc-

BOYS ARRESTED ON
CHARGE OF ARSON

Walter and Albert Williams,
who reside near Guntown, were
brougt in town Tuesday by Sher-
if Trapp on a requisition granted
by Gov. Noel on the request of
Governor Conner of Alabama,
who seeks to have the Williams
brothers returned to Franklin
county, Ala, to answer an in
dlctment for arson. Upon re-
turning to Tupelo Sheriff Trapp
found telegram from Gov. Noel
instructing him to hold up the
requistion until the governor could
communicate with him by mail,
but the arrest had already been
made, which the sheriff wired
the Governor. The latter, through
secretary directed the sheriff to
take the bonds of the young
men to appear at the sheriff.
office at the time the boys are
wanted in Alabama which was
done.
This case has attracted consid-
cradle attention. The boys were
once arrested and carried back
through the county by Z, B.
Palmer, deputy sheriff of Ala
bama without requisition.
Upon examination by the au-
thorities in Franklin county they
were discharged and returned
home. Afterwards an indict-
ment was returned against them
and Gov. Conner requested re-
QUESTION which was granted for
their return. Palmer was ap-
pointed agent to come for them.
The brothers were arrested and
carried to Guntown where they
made and affidavit against Pal
mer for kidnapping them and tax
ing them to Alabama without
proper requsition. Palmer was
lodged in Jail and compromise
was agreed on and all parties
were released. Palmer was glad
to get out and return home with
out his prisoners.
The boys claim that it is only
a ruse to get them back to testi-
fly in the case against other par
ties.
c. P, Long and Guy Mitchell
appeared for the defendants and
it is the opinion of the attorneys
that there is but little in the case.
The boys express a willingness
to go and tell what they know,
but are not pleased with the
manner in which the Alabama
authorities have treated them.
