Fake Fur Dealers
Peddling Cat Skins;
, Atlantians Warned

A warning to beware of fake fur
dealers who are operating in the
city was issued to the Atlanta pub
lie Saturday by V. d. Young, man
ager of the Stores Mutual Protec-
tive association.
According to Mr.. Young, num-
Der of peddlers are selling dyed
cat and dog hides and rabbit skins
to gullible customers under the pre-
tense that these "furs' were SNUG
gled in from Canada and that they
are therefore able to sell them at
greatly reduced prices.
These peddlers, Mr.. Young said,
sometimes palm themselves off as
Canadians" at other times as dis
charged soldiers or sailors and have
always some excuse handy to ex-
plain the fabulously low bargain"
prices at which they are disposing
of the hides.
Mr.. Young declared that quite a
few Atlantians have already been
duped by these fake furriers and
number of complaints have been
received from the victims by his
organization. Dyed skins of domes-
tic animals, actually worth about
90 cents, were sold at prices rang
ing from S25 to SIS.

Four Million Acres
In Everglades Hang
On Court S Decision

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 10.-A decision
affecting title to four million acres
and involving the entire Everglades
was handed down by Circuit Judge
H., Pierre Branning today in the
case of Ralph A. Horton VS.. the
trustees of the internal improve
ment fund, growing out of the
adoption in 1912 by the trustees
of q map which, it was contended,
charged the locations Of land sold
under the original map of 1905.
Judge Brannipg held that after
the trustees had made scales ac-
cording to the original map of 1905
they had no right to adopt new
map which would change the loca-
tons of lands sold according to
that map. Approximately one mil
lion acres of land were sold accord
ing to the original map, it is con-
tended, before the trustees amend
cd Instructions in 1912 for survey
ing the Everglades and ordered a
new map made.
The case was started July 80,
1920, by Mr.. Horton, who is an
owner of land in the Everglades
and now supervisor of the
Broward Southern DrainageSdistrict.
IT was argued asst September.
