TWO BIG DAMAGE
SUITS MAY TERM
CITY COURT HAS AN UNUSUALLY
LARGE DOCKET ON THE
CRIMINAL SIDE.

Two of the largest civil suits in
the history of the city court of Bruins
wick will be heard at the May term
Of the court. Both cases are against
the Southern Railway system, one Tor
$4,000 and the other for $4,000.
These suits are brought by the father
of young Winn, who fell from train
on this road near Parllwood, death
resulting. The mother, Mrs. Mary
VIM. sues for the smaller amount.
and the father for the larger in
this case able counsel has been en-
Dloyed, and it will be hotly contested
Judge ID. NJ. Clark. of Jesup, the home
Of the Winns, and Oliver and Oliver
of Savannah, represent the plaintiffs,
while the railroad will be represented
by Bennett, Twitty and Reese, of this
city, local Southern counsel.
1t will be remembered that young
Winn was found in an unconscious
condition, and expired without regain
ing consciousness. 1t is cOntendol
that he was thrown from the train
and for this damages in the sum of
$35 900 is asked.
Another suit of interest is one of
Robert Flowers, by his next friend,
against the City and Suburban Rain
way company for $4,000 1t will be
remembered that the young man. who
was a carrier for The News, lost one
Df his legs while handing paper to
4 motorman. The young man is rep
resented by Hon. Robert L. Bcrncr
me Of the most able lawyers in Ge0r-
gia, who will likely have associated
With him local counsel This case
90, will be one of the warmest ever
heard in this county. Attorney f. NJ.
Scarlet, Jr., represents the street
railway company, and he, too, it is
said, will have other counsel associat-
ed with him for the defendant com
pany There are several other dam
age suits scheduled for trial The
criminal docket is not as large as
usual, but will probably be by the
date set for the court in May.

PRAWN RUNNING BETTER.

Reports from Fernandina are to the
effect that prawn have more rlenti-
full for the past week or ten days and
are getting more plentiful. 1t is the
opinion that the warmer weather has
caused the "sea spiders" to come in
thereby giving the fishermen a better
chance at them.
For several weeks many Of the To-
cal craft fishing out of Fernandina
barely paid expenses but they are
now getting ahead OF the game and
still have a chance to make IN for
lost time. AS has been stated in the
News, there is more than two hun
dred of these little boats leaving the
little Florida port each morning and
returning just as the sun goes down.
