KING SOLOMON REVISED

A little girl in neighboring town
tells the world what she knows about
King Solomon in the following essay:
king Solomon was man who
lived ever SO many years ago, and
in the country which he governed he
was the whole push. He was an awful
wise man and one nay two women
come to him, each one holding on
the leg of baby and nearly pulling
it in two--both claiming 1t, and King
Solomon wasn't feeling right good,
and he said, "Why couldn't the brat
been twins and stopped all this both
err" Then he called for his sword
and was going to curt the brat in two
and give each one piece Of it, when
the woman who was the real mother
said. IF can't have the whole baby
Il don't want any" Then Solomon
told her to take the baby and 20
home and wash its face, for he knew
ii was hers, and he told the other
woman to go chase herself. King Sol
ONION built the Solomon Temple and
wos the father of all Masons. He
had 700 wives and 900 lady friends
and that is why there are so many
Masons in the world. My papa says
that King Solomon was a warm mem
Der, and | think he was the hot stun
myself. That's all | know about

THE SEWER CLAIM
FOR LAND ON WHICH NASHVILLE
AND CHATTANOOGA ARE
LOCATED IS DENIED.
Congressional Committee Turns Down
Heirs Of Gen. John SEWER
Claim to 5000 Acres
Granted.

Washington, Jan. 2i.--Claims in
volving part of the present site Of
Chattanooga and Nashville, Tenn,
aud extensive tracts in Tennessee
ana Georgia t,,at were supposed to
haye been granted to Gen. John Sc.
vier shortly after the Revolutionary
war, have been turned down by the
private land claims committee Of the
house, after a full investigation.
The Sewer claims have been be-
fore congress for severa: years, and
his descendants have spent consider
able sums in efforts to establish title
to the lands. The Tennessee prop
erty claimed by the heirs of the In
dian fighter has alone been estimated
to the worth $7o,oo0,0oo.
Gen. Sewer and his son. John Sc
yier, Jr., claimed to have purchased
and located 225 land warrants issued
by North Carolina under the act oil
1888, when that state controlled TIE
territory now comprised In Tennes
see. Representative c, B. Miller OF
Minnesota, who prepared the report
submitted to the house today, finds
that the land on which the SEWERS
claim to have located was, In fact the
property OF the Cherokee Indian ma
ton, and no white man could perfect
title to 1t.
The Georgia lands embraced about
$4,000 acres decided to Gen. Sewer by
Zacharith Cox, acting for the Ten
nessee Company" 1t Is held this deed
was Illegal, as Cox had no authority
to deed the Georgia property.
The Sewer heirs secured In 1879
and 1894. a tract Of 5000 acres IN
payment for Gen. Sewers services as
commission to investigate "and as
certain the quality of the land known
as the great bend Of the TENNESSEE
river. This is the only property e
which the claims committee finds
they have any proper right OF title.
