JOHN ORR TO COME BACK
TO- OFACE SERIOUS CHARGES
Man Wanted to Answer Chargs
of Passing Worthless Check
Arrested in Chattanooga.

John Orr. who several weeks
ago was arrested on the charge
lof having passed a worthless
check, and who. after having
been arraigned before Mayor
Donnell and placed under bond
in the sum of 5000, skipped out.
was located in Chattanooga Mon
day, and taken into custody by
the police in that city. Local
officials were notified, and Police
man John Norwood went to
Chattanooga to bring Orr back to
Columbus. The officer and his
prisoner are expected to arrive
in the city today, and Orr will
probably. have a hearing at an
early date.
The offence with which Orr is
charged is that of passing a
worthless check on L. F. Har-
grove, a st. John street mer-
chant. The check was for $50. 90,
and was drawn on the Bank of
Crawford. When presented at
the bank payment was refused,
and the cashier stated that Orr
had had no funds in the bank for
more than a year, and was well
aware of the fact, as the bank
had SO notified him and had de-
clined to cash previous checks.
After payment on the check
had been refused Hargrove noti-
fed Orr of the banks action, but
at the same time told him that
if he'd make the amount good
there would be no prosecution.
Orr promised to do this, but fail
ed to keep his word. and his ar.
rest followed.
Soon after Orr skipped out i
was rumored that he was in Birm
ingham, and officer Norwood
went there to search for him. H,
failed to locate his man in tha
city, but local citizens who at
tended the recent Confederat,
veteran reunion in Chattanooga
saw Orr in that city. The fac
was reported to local officials
who took up the matter with Of
ficials in Chattanooga. and th'
arrest of the fugitive followed.

chase County Bends Issued
For Improvement Of Public
Roads in And District

Bids for bonds in the sum of
$50, 600 recently issued by the
county for the improvement Of
public roads in the Second dis
trict were receivable at the reg
ular meeting Of the board of SUI
pervisors. which began Monday.
but no bids was forthcoming. and
it will be necessary to again offer
the bonds to the public.
In the forthcoming advertise
ment the bonds will be offered at
FIVE and one-half per cent. in
stead of 6 per cent, the price
stipulated in the first advertise
ment. There was a disagreement
between the supervisors and the
road commissioners as to the
price, the commissioners having
wanted it fixed at six per cent,
but the wishes of the county So
Ions finally prevailed. and the
bonds will be offered on a basis
of five and one-half per cent,
The bond issue is to mature in
twenty years. The first bond Of
$500 becomes due ten years sub
sequent to date of issue, and a

The Columbians won their
third successive game from Me-
ridian yesterday afternoon, hav-
ing defeated the Nets by a score
of II to 9.
AS the score indicates. the game
was slow and listless, both teams
having put up some inferior
work. The Meridian bunch seems
to Eave gone to pieces, and their
work both at bat and in the field
was decided off color.
Poole pitched for the locals, and
the fact that he allowed so many
hits was because he knew he was
being watched BY a big league
scout and was nervous. Frantz
and Hodge did the twirling for
the visitors.
Jackson begins three game
series with the DISCOVERIES at
Lake Park this afternoon, and
as the DISCOVERIES have been
playing winning ball recently
there will doubtless be a large
crowd present.
The DISCOVERIES celebrated
their return Monday by winning
u 6 to | victory from Meridian.
Cooper was on the local mound
and was in fine form. having
yielded only four scattered hits
and having had ten strikeouts to
his credit.
The victory for the locals was
won by hard hitting. and was
cinched in the seventh. At the
beginning of this round the score
stood 3 to l. and tbe Columbus
clouters got busy with their sticks
and sewed the game up A fea-
ture of the game was the. batting
of Blanchfield. who raped out a
three base hit and a homer. the
hit on which he made the circuit
of the bases having sent the ball
over the center field fence.
Probably one of the most ex-
citing games played here this
season was the bout between Co
lumbus and Meridian Tuesday
afternoon. whic h went to eleven
innings and was finally won by
the DISCOVERIES by score of 7 to
l6.
The game was one sided up to
the ninth, at the beginning of
which the blackboard showed six
runs for Meridian and only two
for Columbus. Farshner. who
Itwirled for Meridian. seemed to
completely lose control of the ball
in the ninth. and two hits. to-
gether with an equal number of
wild throws, enabled four Column
bians to cross the pan. There
was nothing in the way of scores
in the tenth, and in the eleventh
Kuhn started the fireworks with
a single. Kennedy followed with
a double. and Kuhn was thrown
out at second. The next two CO.
llumbians who faced Furshner
were presented with passes, and
then Parker singled. abling
Columbus to make the winning
run.
LunsfoTi started il &c pitch fc-
Columbus. having been relieved
Inv Cooper in the eighth.
