REGIMENT AWARDED
! FIFTH OF BIG ESTATE
First Volunteers of Savannah tc
Receive Funds Left to Non
y Existant ORGANIZATION.

Chief Justice Mccoy of the District
Supreme Court decided yesterday
that the 1st Volunteer Regiment of
Savannah, Ga, is entitled to one
fifth of the $125,000 estate of Maria
+. McCalla, most of which is located
in the city of Savannah. John b. Lar
ner of this city is the trustee under
the McCalla will. which provided that
the residue of her estate should be
distributed in five equal shares, one
TO the Union Society of Savannah. one
to the Georgia Infirmary at Savannah.
one to the Savannah Hospital. one to
Savannah Volunteer Guards Home
Guard and one to the 7th Georgia
Regiment of Savannah.
! When Mr.. Larner went to make dis
fribution he found there does not eN-
list a 1th Regiment of Georgia and
asked the court to determine where
that portion of the estate should go.
Claim was made by the Veteran As
sociation of survivors of the 7th Regi-
ment, an Atlanta corporation. which
claimed to be usually referred to as
the 7th Regiment although that regi-
ment had been disbanded after the
civil war. The 1st Volunteer Regi-
ment of Savannah laid claim to the
fund and pointed out that the testa-
trix shortly before her death. was
known to have made inquiries in Sa-
rannah of institutions to be benefit
ted by her will and that she had in
tended the benefits to go to institu-
tfons of that city only.
FoluminOus testimony was taken
in support of both the claims of the
rival military organizations and the
court has had the matter under ad-
ViSement for some time. The tesla
.trix had sticken out the word "Savan-
nah" in the will and il reads 18th
Georgia Regiment of Georgia.

ing used on bootleg cars. making II i'm

LIVE THIEVES
WORTH LITTLE

Live automobile thieves are cheap,
according to today's market quota
tions
But dead ones are selling at a
premium
On the open market best quota
tons received on delivery of the per-
son Of live automobile thieves ranges
from S25 to 500. Few are worth
over S100.
But let 'em die-supposing, that
is, that they accidentally step in
front of wandering bullet, while
resisting arrest perhaps-and their
value increases tenfold.
Notice was received by Sheriff
Cook today from the Foster N.
Burns detective agency at Tulsa of
fering either $50 for arrest and con-
viction Of the thief or thieves who
on July IL stole a Ford roadster at
Sand Springs, or a reward of $1,000
for delivery Of the dead body Of the
thief or thieves.
Puzzle: II the thief is captured, is
he likely to be delivered to the sher-
iff or to the undertaken? Betting to-
day was running 20 to / on the un-
