SUES FOR DAMAGES
BECAUSE INSURANCE
CLAIM is NOT PAID

Declaring that the Illinois CONNER
cial Mems association was soliciting
business illegally in Georgia. Frank 7.
Holiday poiicyholder in the com
pany, has instituted attachment pro-
ceedings in city court, claiming dam
ages Of $3.50 for the loss of an eye and
$500 attorneys fees.
Holiday told the court that the com
pany had refused to pay his damage
claim He said that the refusal was
made in bad faith, and it's officers were
relying on the fact that they were doing
business illegally in Georgia. The law.
he said. did not permit insurance com
panies to solicit business unless prop
erly registered with the comptroller
general.

Believes Nearly
All Dead.

Manager Mold was on duty until mid
night. At that time he left the build .
ing and was one of the last to leave the
place alive. He believes that practical
ly every one who was i'm the building
died. His estimate of the dead runs as
high as 10.
Mrs. BonneVie was seen at a window
on the alley side of the structure. She
screamed to the crowd for help. A mo-
ment later she fell backward into the
building. Flames could be seen back of
her Her sister Mrs. f. c. Hawkins,
was with her at he hotel 1t was re-
ported that Mrs Hawkins was saved.
At o'clock this morning six bodies
had been recovered from the ruins.
Search then was almost impossible. as
the place was still not as furnace and
there was danger from tottering walls.
Garrett f. Wit, night clerk, who went
on duty at midnight and rushed from
the office when flames made II impos-
sible for him to remain longer. said
there were - or more guests in the
place, OF this number he said at least
a dozen were women, while possibly 30
were transient guests.
An automobile show which is being
held here attracted large crowds to the
city, and this caused the crowding OF
the Dewey as well as the other hotels
in the city
The firemen worked desperately to
save the building and to render aid to
the guests. At least one of them. Cap

their youth and unsophisticated nature
would render them easy prey to waiting
snares and pitfalls.
Mothers have come 10 Mr. Yockey

Reoains Her Poise.

The woman of mystery paflldHS
regained her poise in her Tower cell
today. After a restful night, she aWak-
ened shortly after I o'clock this morn
ING and ate heartily of the specially
prepared breakfast sent from the Jall
kitchens by her physicians orders.
Mrs. Appelbaum, according to jail
guards. wears the same purple-hued XII
mono in her cell that she had on at
the time her husband was found shot
to death IN the bath room of the Hotei
Dakota last Tuesday morning.
This lurd garb, with its fiorid deco
rations of huge red poppies. is her usual
morning dress. Mrs. Appelbaum care
fully makes her own coitfure, her short,
curv hair lending itself to the current
Grecian knot effectively. Her toilet ar
tfcles on the tiny shelf of her jail cell
seem to be her main diversion. Even
in her confinement, Mrs. Appelbaum, 1t
is said. does not fail to use her toilet
waters and pprfumel aVishly.

Mrs. Catherine Appelbaum. still the

the mysteriously slain man. will be
placed in an Atlanta cemetery lot. His
body will be taken from Greenberg &
Bonds morgue some time on the Sab

laid to rest with the simplest of re-
ligious ceremonies.
Mrs. Appelbaum summoned the un-
dertakers to a conference today at
which time it was expected that the

where his parents live and the facts
that heretofore she has kept hidden
from public knowledge closer even than
she has shielded her features from NOR

bill to prohibit the shipping of intoxi

sentative Clayton of Alabama called
the measure up under rule permitting
the house to consider without reference
to committee any bill passed by ths
senate which is substantially the same
as one that has been reported by a

Republican Leader Mann and Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald made point Of

it was not on q house calendar, had .

BIG STRIKE AT EAGLE

Eagle, Feb. 1.-THE Post representa-
tive hears nothing but good reports of
the silver strike at Eagle-in fact, the
report which comes from reputable and
conservative parties seems too good
to be true and difficult Of belief did it
not come from men of the strictest in
tegrity. The question then to determ-
inc is whether or not these people in
their zeal could have been mistaken.
The discovery was made on Salt creek
or rather between Bruce and Salt creeks
and within q mile of the Al BOrah
ranch and only seven miles from Eagle.
The formation is not such rs to attract
attention, even of the experienced min
er. and resembles a great ledge Of sand
stone and to almost anyone would be
considered worthless SO far as appear
ance is concerned.
The main ledge or outcrop has been
staked by Ed Glenn. Ralph Wolverton
and Oscar Kempf. The vein extends
in the direction of Lake creek and i.
is claimed that the outerop can be fol-
lowed for three miles. The formation
is sandstone or sandstone porphyry and
runs strong in silver with but trace
of gold. The assays thus far obtained
run 4s51s, sos, 500 and $40 ounces of
silver. Men, women and children are
catching the fever and the country is
staked for miles around, even the near
by ranches being covered with stakes.
Parties are coming in from Leadville
and other points and securing interests
here, and everywhere one can hear pre-
dietions of a fabulously rich mining :
camp.
The discovery was made by Kempf
who was prospecting for = copper lead
and while doing % he threw seveeaI
