STREET CARS STOPPED,
so THEY DROWN GRIEF;
II LAND BEHIND BARS

The quiet that prevailed at the
police station during the month of
August was broken last evening.
By $40 o'clock the automobile
had made IL trips, and on each
"trip a man was brought in and
booked on a charge of drunk.
Detectives and reserves on duty
at the station began to sit up and
take notice. "How do you ac-
count for it," said Detective Dy-
ment to Deck Sergeant Croker.
II DON'T" quoth Crocker.
Those men should know better
than to act in such a way just
as the w. G. T. U. has concluded
a session"
The men on both night shifts
were worried, and they were still
talking when the first relief came
on this morning. 1t was left for
one of the veterans to set specu-
lation at rest.
Cars not running. No chance
to hang on to straps. Did the
next thing to it," said Jailer Steve
Murphy.
Judge Arntson was in a lenient
mood when the men were arraign-
ed this morning. "I've missed
cars myself" he said. "But /
don't recommend death by drown
ing for grief. Five and costs
sentence suspended"
A look of despair vanished
from % eyes. Eleven men stepped
from the courtroom with a load
of trouble lifted from their
minds.

NORTH POLE DISCOVERED

Brooklyn Man Claims to

DR.. Frederick Cook, of Brooklyn,

North Pole.
DR.. Cook claims to have reached the
pole on April q, 1908. after long and
arduous march with dogs and Eski-
mos.
After giving an account of his jour-
ney over the ice, DR.. Cook says:
son April 21st we had reached SO
degrees SO minutes 46 seconds. The
pole was in sight. We covered the re-
naming fourteen seconds and made a
few final observations. l told Etuki-
shok and Ahwelsh (the accompanying
Eskimos) that we had reached the
"Great Nail" Everywhere we turned

could pass from one side of the earth

night.

observations, a sentiment of intense
solitude penetrated us while we looked
at the horizon. Was it possible that
this desolate region, without a patch
OF earth, had aroused the ambition of
so many men for so many centuries !?
There was no ground, only an i'm

AFTER MONTHS IN JAIL
ALLEGED CROOK IS FREE.
Gray Who Was Sentenced to
Seven Years Gets
New Trial.

The hearing of the extraordinary mo-
ton for new trial for Horace Gray took
place before Judge Morris Monday and
new trial was granted.
Gray was released on furnishing bond
in the snm of $500. He left the Cobb
county Jail in company with his father
Monday evening for his home in Mis-
sissippi
1t will be remembered that Gray was
convicted at the March term of the Su-
perior court of passing forged express
money order on the Southern Express
Company, of this city on December
2nd 1908.
Mr.. Robertson, manager of the Ex-
press Company here, identified Gray a
few months later as the man who had
passed the worthless money order for
$50 through this Office, and his testi-
mony convicted Gray at that time, and
and Judge Morris gave him a sentence
of seven years in the penitentiary.
Col. H. B. Moss, of this city, repre-
sented Gray, and after sentence had
been passed he appealed the case to the
Court of Appeals, but that tribunal sus-
tanned the verdict.
Col. Moss then began to communicate
with Grays father in Mississippi, and
with Jail officials in Omaha, Neb., in
which city Gray claimed he was in Jail
when the money orders were passed
here on Dec. 2nd, 1908.
An extraordinary motion for new
trial was made and when the case came
up Monday, Frank F. Osborn, Deputy
Sheriff of Douglass county, Nebraska,
and U. S. Marshal J. H. Proctor, of
Omaha, Neb., were here as witnesses for
the defendant, and swore positively that
Gray was in Jail in Omaha, Neb., from
September 2Sth, 1908, to January 1, 1909,
having been put in Jail for using. the
mails for fraudulent purposes. They
had Jail records and letters of identifi-
cation which convinced Judge Morris
that the defendant was entitled to new
trial. and upon this testimony, granted
another hearing.
1t is said Gray's father is a wealthy
planter of Mississippi, and when Colonel
Moss communicated with him concern
ing his son, he offered his time and
money to assist Gray in securing his
freedom.
Col. Moss was assisted in the proceed
ings by Clay G Morris.
This case has created considerable
interest in this county, and Colonel Moss
has received many congratulations on
account of his success in gaining new
trial for his client.
