cry then went up for Joe Johnson,
also mentioned as a promoter.
Mr.. johnson was understood to
have accompanied a friend to the
train, but reappeared at little after
10 o'clock, and assured the crowd that
he didn't have the money and didn't
have the least idea where it was.
The crowd then swarmed over to
the county Jail, but the money wasn't
there. But Jailer 0'Neal was there.
Captain O'Neal met them at the door,
and the crowd claimed. Captain o'Neal
told them to take out warrant for
anybody they thought had the money,
and the warrant would be executed.
The crowd then petered out and went
home.
Maybe somebody will take out a
warrant when he finds out
Who got the money.

Mr.. Youse is the Fleischman repre-

He came to River Junction, and
that was as far as train service ex-
tended. So he then went to Sneads

Southport, reaching Panama City
from where he came to Pensacola by

ASK SALVAGE
ON SUMNER
Aiken Towboat Asks $4,000
for Rescuing an Aban-
donled Schooner.

A salvage claim hbelllag the Amer
lean schooner Sadie C. Sumner, was
filed in the federal court Monday by
the Aiken Towboat and Barge Com
pany, in which the libellant requests
the court to award $4,000 as a just
compensation for services rendered
in towing the abandoned schooner to
port, thereby saving the ship and
practically the entire cargo Of lum-
Der.
The story of the wreck as set forth
j. the libel is as follows:
On July 1896, the said steam tug
Nellie, the property of the Hbelant,
while on the high seas at a point near
Phillips Inlet, about Is or 80 miles
west Of St. Andrews Bar, and about
A miles from shore, found a schooner,
dismasted and apparently deserted,
and the officers and crew of said
steam tug Nellie boarded the said
schooner, found her to be the Sadie
C. Sumner, waterlogged, dismasted
and abandoned by her captain and
crew, that she had a full cargo OF
lumber and other wood products
/ aboard
The Nellie towed the wreck into st
/ Andrews harbor, where it remains
! and the libel asks Judge Sheppard t
i condemn it il necessary, so that the
salvor may be compensated for hi
services.
The case viii probably go over unit
/ the November term of the fedora
court, as Judge Sheppard is out O
the city, and will probably not return
before that time. Blount, Blount
Carter are proctors for libelant.
