SAVANNAH, Ca, July 9,-Ihe SUI
preme court of Georgia will be called
upon to settle the question, What is a
blind tiger?" This is made certain by
the announcement that regardless of
the decision of the jury in the hearing
of the injunction against several places
here, the case will be taken to the SUI
preme court.
In the case of Nick Georgian, the jury
failed to agree after three days DELHI
erakons. The second case, which is one
of a number of near-beer saloons
against which injunctions were issued
short time ago, was taken up today,
This is the case of Simmons & Co. The

REBELS GAIN
STRENGTH IN PORTUGAL
InSurreCtoniStS Are Fighting
from the Mountains of the
Spanish Frontier
fRr Associated Press.N

LISBON, Portugal, July 1O.-The
royalist rebels in the north of Portu-
gal again out-maneuvered the repub-
lican government troops today. After
the sanguinary encounter of yesterday
at the town of Cabeceiras de Basto,
which was held by the royalists who
defeated the Fifth Regiment of infan-
try, government reinIorcements were
rushed to the fighting. A strong Gordon
of infantry this morning advanced
slowly on the insurrectionary town,
pouring in a heavy fire. A few scat
tered Shots were the only response to
this attack and when the final assault
on the town was made by the govern
ment troops, the besiegers found the
streets deserted and all the houses
empty. The inhabitants had withdrawn
to the mountains with the royalists.
Unless the Portuguese government
decides to weaken the garrisons of
Lisbon and Oporto, which would be
dangerous measure to take, because of
the possibility of revolutionary out
breaks in the big cities, 1t seems likely
that the royalist warfare in the north
ern provinces is likely to continue for
some time.
The situation may be compared in
some respects to that when existed on
the INSTRUMENTATION border at the
opening of the revolution there. The
royalists here retreated to foreign soil
in Spain when they are hard pushed
by the government troops. AS the
frontier is very mountainous, it offers
many safe retreats.
According to last accounts, Capt.
Henrique de Paivo Couceiro, the royal
list leader, has now retired to Spanish
territory.
The Society of Patriots organized
big parade last, evening in the streets
of Lisbon. Crowds gathered on the
sidewalks and applauded the paraders.

ULD STAGES OF NEW YORK
Many Years Ago They Were Operated
Regularly Between Metropolis and
aE Other Cities.

In excavating underneath the former
Tallman livery in New York recently
worknen found number of straps
such as were used in former days on
the stage coaches which piled between
Albany to Buffalo.
The straps are supposed to have
been made at the Sherwood establish
ment, which many years ago stood at
the northeast corner of State and Dill
streets. S. G. Tallman said he be-
lleyed the straps to be at least rs
years old, and to have lain where they
were found probably for that length of
time or longer :",~,
1t was in 1909 that Isaac Sherwood
Of Skaneatles became partner, of
Jason Barker Of Utica in conducting
the stage line which passed through
this county, carrying the United States
mail. 1t is recorded that in 1916 q
line of coaches, among the proprietors
of which was the firm of Isaac Sher-
wood & Co. of Auburn, was operated
between Canandaigua and Utica.
These coaches passed over what was
known as the Seneca turnpike, con-
structed between the two points
named. 1t was designed to build this
road six rods wide, the middle 25 feet
Of it to be covered with gravel or
broken stone to depth of Is inches.
The Seneca Turnpike company was
authorized to erect a toll gate every
ten miles and exact 12h cents toll
for two-horse teams and rs cents for
four horses.
From Utica east a tri-weekly stage
line was operated to Albany, and this
likewise was controlled by Sherwood
& Co. and Others
The corner of State and Dill streets
was a great center for stage coaches
In the early days. Various other lines
besides the turnpike stages converged
In Auburn, there being stages to Ho-
mer, Ithaca, Oswego, Aurora and other
places. 1t was in that day that the
tight broke out between the Pioneer
Line, as a new competing company
was called, and the Sherwood combina-
ton.
The Pioneer Line gained control of
the principal hotel in the village,
known as the Western Exchange, hop
Ing thus to embarrass it's rivals But
the Sherwood interests fitted up the
Bank OF Auburn, as it was known, for
their headquarters. An issue of this
campaign was the question of running
stage coaches on Sunday.
