NEAL BANK To PAY
ANOTHER DIVIDEND
Receivers Announce Checks Will
Be Mailed for 8 IL Per
Cent Of Deposits.

Six thousand persons who had
money deposited in the Neal Bank
when it suspended during the panic
of 1907 viii receive 31a per cent of
their original deposits Thursday. This
brings the total payments up to 6S12
per cent of the original Indebtedness
which is generally regarded as about
the limit to which the receivers, The
Central Bank and Trust Corporation,
will be able to go in repaying the
depositors for some time,
The Neal Bank still has valuable
realty in Cuba and mining property
in Alabama, but it has been impos-
sible to make a reasonable sale of
the properties Until this can be
done 1t is believed that future pay
ments are more or less problemat-
zeal.
The 81 per cent dividend Thursday
will represent about $4,000. The
clerical force of the Central Bank and
Trust Corporation has been busy for
days getting the certificates ready for
mailing out to the depositors. The
six thousand letters will be ready by
Wednesday night and will be mailed
out to the depositors the next day.

NO INQUEST FOR
LEM BONE, SAYS
CORONER
Donehoo Satisfied With Doctors
Statement, Bookmaker's Death
Did Not Result From Fight.

Coroner Donenoo said Wednesday
What there would be no inquest over
the death OF Lem Bone, the pie-
turesque sporting man whs died Tues
day. The Coroner said the statement
OF Dr. Walpole Brewer that Bone
came TO his death from pleurisy. and
that the pleurisy could not have been
caused from a blow, satisfied him
that Bones death was due 70 natural
causes.
Investigations by Coroner Doneh %
and city detectives have revealed that
Bone did have a fist fight eleven days
before his death. one Of his eyes
was discolored from a bruise from
that encounter and there was Il sligAt
cut on his lip, but no signs Of any
other injury.
An account of this fight by Mrs
Bones at her home, No AZ Fair!ie
street. shows that Bone kept mis-
courage until his death. In his young
er days he was a terror TO the police
and his nOtoriety spread over the
South.
Tells Of Fight.
Lem had been drinking" she said.
Il went to the Forsyth Theater with
a friend. He Kissed me good bye
and shook hands with my escort.
when we returned Lem opened the
door and held a pistol In his hama.
My escort retired. | went to the cor
ner OF Forsyth and James streets to
get a policeman to go into the house
with me.
Il met a friend Of ours and he went
with me. but when we reached home
we found Lem in the yard very angry.
A fight with fists followed. but It was
over in a fifty and everybody made
friends"
Always Kept His Word.
Acquaintance Of Bone say that In
the ups and downs Of his career one
element OF his character was CON
slant He always stood by his wor !.
Sometimes his pockets would bulge
with cash Then he would be pen
niless.
When down and out" there were
several we'll known business men "a
whom he could go and obtain loans
without any security. And. II is sa :,
he never failed to repay them as he
promised.
In recent years he devoted pra =
tically all OF his efforts to bookmak ding
on horse races 1t was understood
among the sporting fraternity that q
bet won from him was sure 10 be paid
His death marks the departure az
one OF the last Of an odd group Of
men who thrlved in the days before
political reforms.
