BIG LAW SUIT OVER ALLEGED
INFRINGEMENT IN AN ALLEY
Question of Whether 1t Is Public or
Private Property Put Up to COun-
Gil as Preliminary Move.

AS a preliminary move in what
may terminate in law suit invoIV-
ing valuable property almost in the
heart of the business section of the
city Attorney H. A. Wilkinson, rep
resenting Lowrey & Davidson, APP
peared before the city council at the
session of that body Tuesday night
in reference to the ownership OF the
alley between Lowrey & Davidson's
warehouse and the store buildings on
the east side.
The attorney stated that in look
ing up the records and from the best
information obtainable the alley had
been made a street, or had become
so by reason of having been used as
such by the public generally for a
number of years. If that were true, ne
contended, the extension OF the Far
rar and other store houses on the
west end was an encroachment on the
alley or street; if not it was an en-
croachment on the property or Low
rev & Davidson, and they wished
to be informed whether or not
the city claimed ownership OF
or authority over it so that they
might know how to proceed in the
matter. 1t was referred to City At
torney Hoyl for investigation and an
opinion on the legal points involved.
The alley in question was origI-
nally a part of the Lowrey & David
son warehouse property, and years
ago was left open by the owners for
the convenience of the patrons OF the
warehouse.
Since then two or three of the
store buildings on the opposite side
have been extended ten feet, and 1t
is this alleged encroachment that has
raised the question of ownership.

RED HOT ROW AT MEIGS
MOveants for New County Divide on
Question of Name. Strong EIe-
ment Wants to Honor Watson.

MEIGS, Ga.-The new county
movement at this place is very likely
to be a complete failure, and the rea-
son of it is a red-hot row which is on
over the naming of it. In the terri
tory that is proposed to be incorpOr-
ated about twO-thirds of the voters
are followers of Hon. Thos. E. Wat
son, the sage of Thomson. These
followers want the new county nam
ed Watson" and this was readily
agreed to at first by the anti-Watson
n,en, who were leaders in the move
ment for the new county. Lately, it
seems, the proposed name has arous-
ed the ire of the anti-Watson men
to such an extent that there is very
little chance of compromise.
Without a compromise between the
factions it will be an impOssibility
to get a new county, for it is well
known that internal strife will kill
quicker than anything. At present
neither side wants to give, and the
opinion is expressed that the new
county is done for.

THEY'RE MAD IN MISSOURI
Think That Speaker Clark Was Given
Raw Deal at Baltimore. Says
Treason Is Charged.

ST. LOUIS.-Leading democrats
signed this telegram to the national
democratic convention:
Missouri stands aghast at the re-
fusal of the convention to ra1ify the
choice of a large majority-thereby
breaking a precedent of 70 years. III
by adherence to a rule, the purpose
of which has long since ceased, the
convention will not adhere to that
precedent, refer the question back to
the voters, who, acting in the spirit
of real progression, will nominate
Champ Clark, already the nominee
of the majority.
THAT convention can commit no
greater act of reaction than to re-
fuse to carry out che will of the ma
jority, thereby endangering the sue
cess in November. Not to do so is
fraud upon the right OF the voters
comparable to the fraud Of 1876 in
depriving Tilden of the presidency to
which he was elected by the peo-
pie"

A crowd estimated at /, 900 people

NAME WILSON FOR PRESIDENT
GOVERNOR MARSHALL OF INDI.
ANA HIS RUNNING MATE.
Deadlock in Convention Was Broken
on Eighth Day of Session That
Engendered Much Bitterness.

on Eighth Day of Session That
Engendered Much Bitterness.
BALTIMORE.-At $3.50 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon Woodrow Wilson,
governor of New Jersey, was nomi-
mated for president of the United
States by the democratic national
convention.
He was named on the forty-sixth
ballot by practically a unanimous
vote. Missouri and one or two other
pronounced Clark states still cast
their votes for the speaker.
Previous to this Senator Bankhead
OF Alabama, the leader of the UNDER
wood forces, had gone upon the
stage and released the Underwood
delegates from further pledge to vote
for the Alabama man.
Bankhead spoke amid breathless
silence. He said Underwood had en-
tered the contest hoping to be the
nominee. But his chief desire wa.
to eradicate every vestige of sectional
feeling. He would not be party to
the defeat of any candidate.
Senator Stone of Missouri, the
leader of the Clark forces, followed
Senator Bankhead and released the
Clark delegates from any further
pledge.
This resulted in the rapid with
drawal of favorite sons, and Wilson's
nomination followed.
The long tension over the great
convention burst into an uproar of
cheers, and it was some time before
the excitement could be sufficiently
allayed to take up the question of
nomination for vice president.
Wanted Clark for Vice.
At the night session of the conven-
ton Governor Marshall of Indiana
was named for vice-president on the
third ballot, after that place had been
offered to Speaker Clark and declin-
ed. Six names were put in nomina-
ton for vice-president.
The sentiment of the convention
was strongly in favor of giving the
speaker the place if he would accept
it. H. H. Dean of Georgia placed
Clark in nomination and took the
convention unawares. The Clark
leaders held excited conferences and
the speaker himself was called on
the telephone. Despite a speech by
former Governor A. M. Dockery of
Missouri Withdrawing Clark's name
and a telegraphed statement from
the speaker himself declaring he
would not take the place the conven-
ton was still hopeful of his final ac-
ceptance and one of the reasons for
the suspension of the vote on the
nominations was the desire of the
leaders to make sure of Clark's posi-
ton.

STENCIL FROM MANHOLES.

Get Customary Vacation.
At meeting of the city council
Tuesday night Mayor Bell stated that
he had been requested to call atten-
ton to the bad odors that emanate
from the manholes of the sewerage
system, and to see if steps could not
be taken to remedy the trouble. No
action was taken by the council.
There has been much complaint by
residents in all parts of the city of
the foul stencil that frequently comes
from the sewage, and the cry for re-
lief has been long and loud. 1t lis
not only annoying and distressing,
but is menace to health.
E. T. Lockett made complaint OF
the condition of the large ditch be-
tween his premises and those of c. G.
Lewis, stating that offensive water
stands in holes. Chairman Which
ard of the street committee said that
it will be remedied at an early day
Tax Assessors Report.
The report of the city tax assessors
was filed with the council, but it was
unsatisfactory to some of the alder
men, and no action was taken on the
question of it's approval. 1t was left
open for investigation.
Some of the aldermen thought the
assessments placed on some property
were too low. Whether the council
can go behind the work of the as
SCISSORS is a question that has never
before been raised, and is point
around the settlement of which there
will be much interest.
The Dawson Cotton Oil Co. asked
and was granted permission to con-
meet with the city's water main for
the purpose of installing two or three
private fire hydrants on its premises
for protection, the water to be used
for no other purposes and the con-
nections to be made without expense
to the city.
The chairman of the street COM
mittee was authorized to erect a
standpipe, for use in filling the street
sprinkler, across the street from the
city hall.
1t was voted to give policemen and
fremen the customary vacation, one
at a time, and no substitute to be put
in their place.
Alderman Whitchard was elected
mayor pro tenn for the ensuing three
months.

MCDONALD IS DENIED BAIL
BOY WHO CUT ROB STEVENS TO
DEATH HAS CONTNIITTAL TRIAL.
Party of Six Young Men Had Been
Drinking, and Row That Caused
Homicide Was Result.

ATANTA.-Frank Mcdonald, who
fatally cut Robert l.. Stevens on the
night of June %, was remanded to
jail to await the action of the grand
jury, following a hearing before
Judge j. B. Ridley Wednesday af-
ternoon He was not allowed the
privilege of bail.
The boy, who did not seem to be
more than II, sat quietly through
the trial and displayed little emo
ton, though his mother. who was be-
side him, was visibly moved several
times.
Contrary expectations McDon-
aid did not deny that he knew any
thing about the cutting of Stevens,
and when he was placed upon the
stand by William NJ. Smith, his at
torney, he freely told of the row on
Auburn avenue, where the cutting oc-

Chased Wounded Man.
A large number of witnesses were
called upon to testify, and the testi-
mony varied in many points, though
this was explained by the statements
of several, who declared that the en-
tire party had been drinking heavily.
Paul Harrison, city salesman who
lives in the Black apartments, was
the most damaging witness against
Mcdonald. He was not with the par
ty while they were drinking, but
was walking down Auburn avenue
when he was called to the opposite
side of the street by Stevens just be-
fore the cutting occurred. Harrison
declared that Mcdonald ran upon
Stevens, who was unarmed, and
stabbed him, and chased the wound
ed man when he fed down the street
According to the testimony, taken
as a whole, six young men were in
Hollis saloon at 10 Walton street
when Stevens came in. Stevens had
already been drinking, and after
drinking with the crowd of six got
into a difficulty with w. A. Fowler
Fowler pushed him over, and then
Stevens was elected by Hollis. When
the six left the saloon at closing time
Stevens was waiting on the outside
and tried to pick fight with Fowler
Both men were persuaded to put VI
their knives, and Stevens proposed
that they should go to an alley on
Auburn avenue and there settle the
difficulty with their fists.
The entire crowd walked down Au-
burn avenue and paused at the cor
ner of North Pryor street. There,
after some discussion, Stevens and
Mcdonald engaged in fisticuff, and
the cutting followed.
Policeman Hardy testified that
when he arrested Mcdonald the fol-
lowing afternoon the young fellow
denied his identity, and afterward
denied that he knew anything at all
about the cutting.
J. D. Fitzpatrick was the prosecut-
ing attorney and William NJ. Smith
counsel for the defendant. Both
made strong pleas.
