THE DAY ELECTRIC CURRENT.
Delay in Turning 1t on Said to Be
Caused by Delay in Material.

Delay in Turning 1t on Said to Be
Caused by Delay in Material.
Delay in the shipment of certain
parts of machinery needed for the
installation of the day current of
electricity has postponed the turning
on of the power. Some small mate
rial that was not ordered out at once
with the idea that it could be secured
Immediately when needed is causing
the dalay. The latest information is
that it was shipped on April 30th,
and it is daily expected to arrive.
Superintendent Collier states that
he has been in correspondence with
numbers of places as to the prevail
ing prices charged for day current.
Dawson's present rate seems to be in
line with the prices charged at other
places, and in many instances lower.
While no definite price has been
fixed for the use of the current for
manufacturing and motor power pur-
poses the city probably will make a
charge of cents per kilowatt tenn
porarily, and if after a trial this rate
can consistently be lowered it will
be done.

WOMAN's CLUB WILL BUILD
Handsome Rustic Club House Will
Be Erected on Lot Donated by
Generous Citizen.

The Dawson Womans Club will
soon begin the erection of a club
house. Plans have been ordered,
and upon receipt of them work will
commence.
The house will be a duplicate OF
one erected at Calhoun, Ga. 1t will
consist of one large room, 22xSO
feet, with a smaller annex. 1t will
be built of logs with rock pillars,
columns and chimney, and will pre-
sent an entirely rustic effect. The
grounds surrounding will be beauti-
fed and equipped in keeping with
the house.
The Woman's Club has done much
to the betterment of Dawson IN a
material way, and this latest move
shows a stroke of energy and perse-
verance on the part of the members
that will accomplish more in the fu-
ture.
The lot on which the house will
be built was donated to the club by
Mr.. L. c. Durham 1t adjoins the
residence lot of Mr. w L. Battle on
Sixth avenue, and is an ideal loca-
ton. Mr. Durham has also offered
the use of a team for hauling mate
rial. Any other assistance the cit
liens may offer the club women will
be appreciated.

"WANTED BILL EUBANKS. "
Crazy Negro Let 1t BE Known Who
He Desired to See.

Crazy Negro Let 1t BE Known Who
He Desired to See.
Some excitement was creared on
Main street this morning by repeated
ringing of the police gong. On an
swering the call information was CIV
en- that a crazy or drunk negro was
driving a gray horse at fast speed
and whooping at the top of his voice
on his way to the business section.
In a few seconds he hove in sight,
guided his team to the store of G.
w. Dozier & Co, leaped out and
shouted that he wanted to see Bill
Eubanks." He was pointed to Chief
Brown, who met him on the run, and
assisted by Sheriff Hill he was es-
corted to the city barracks.
The negro was not armed, and he
has not explained why he wanted to
see Mr.. Eubanks. Later the mother
of the negro showed up and said the
boys name was Ernest Barnes and
lived near PARROT. He had been
sick for several weeks, and she was
on her way to Dawson with him to
consult a physician, and when near
town he began acting queerly and
whipping the horse. She became
frightened and leaped from the bug
gy. The crazy man is still in the
lookup.

COMPROMISE WAS EFFECTED
QUESTION OF THE DISPOSAL OF
CHURCH PROPERTY SETTLED.
Court Order Provides a Thirty-Foot
Road to and Surrounding Gene
terry and Allows the Sale.

Court Order Provides a Thirty-FOot
Road to and Surrounding Gene
terry and Allows the Sale.
A compromise agreement has been
entered into between the parties at
interest and the officers of the church
in the injunction case against the sale
of the Chickasaw church
property, which came up for hear
ing before Judge Worrill at Cuth-
bert on Monday.
The agreement has been made the
order of the court, and stipulates
that a 3O-foot roadway is to be open
ed from the main highway to the
cemetery and surround it on all sides,
thus making the burial ground en-
tirely surrounded by 30-foot road.
The balance of the land will be sold
by the church authorities. This was
satisfactory to all parties, and has
been made a decree of the court, and
thus disposes of the matter.
The church has long been aban-
doned and not used as place of
worship. 1t is the intention of the
officers of the church to use the pro-
ceeds arising from the sale of the
property in erecting a new house of
worship at Sasser. Sasser also has
cemetery which is no win general
use by the citizens of that communi-
ty. The object of the injunction, it
seems, was simply to protect the bur-
ial place of the dead and give easy
access thereto. The agreement en-
tered into establishes the rights to all
concerned.
During the late Judge Shefield's
occupancy of the bench the question
of the sale of Chickasawhatchee
church property arose, and the sale
was enjoined by him.

Among the tasks of our time Is
to find men learned in the law
and yet fit to be judges.
The other day James e. Cor

and a leader in wholesome things,
discharged a man brought in for
theft-discharged him with some
comments such as seldom come

The case was this:
John Culebra, pale-faced
italian, sickly from under-nour-
ishment, works in the kitchen of
GimbePs department store. He
was caught with some bits of
food hidden in his blouse.
The store detective hailed him
to court with a message from the
store superintendent, asking that
an example be made.
An example was made.
But not the kind invited
Judge German saw that the
Italian. though starved and stunt
ed, had a Madonna-like face: a
face with no marks of crime. His
sympathies were excited He did
some quizzing.
