Is the bride of Hlllarlo Wltlowblrd, a full-blood MoquI Indian. The story of the former Miss Lush's Hrst meeting with her husband Is re- plete with thrill*. About ten months ago Miss Lush was traveling In the West with friends and one day the party stopped on the edge of an Arizona She wandered away from the party that night and strayed Into an Indian camp where a score or so of the Indians were dancing a snake dance. They were filled to the brim with "fire water,” and, according to the young woman, suddenly decided to emulate the deeds of their ancestors In torturing women. Miss Lush snys she wns bound to a stake and the torch was about to be ap plied, when Wlllowblrd, like the hero In a play, appeared In the nick of time and put tne offenders to rout. Recently Wlllowblrd camo to Brooklyn and he and the near-vietlm of the Indians were married. / TELLER RUm ON ARRESTED; POLICE RECOVER $54,410 New York, July 6.—Side by side, gaze of the curious men and women Chester B. Runyon, the bank teller, who defaulted with 156,000 from the Wind sor Trust Company, was brought to po lice headquarters from the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street sta tion today, with Mrs. Laura Carter, the woman who betrayed him to the au thorities. The couple faced a crowd of several hundred persons as they cams down the steps of the station house and cov ered their faces to evade the photog raphers, who leveled cameras at them. Runyon, the former dapper bank clerk, showed plainly the effects of his night In a cell. He shrank from the and with his handkerchief, shielded his face. Mrs. Carter was not at all nervous. The remainder of the . proceeds of Run yon's robbery was carried by Sergeant Knne. He had t)ie $64,000 found In the suit case wrapped In two packages, and carried one In each hand. After reaching headquarters, Run yon, Mrs. Carter and Mary Duncan, the negro maid employed In the flat where Runyon sought refuge, were lined up before tho assembled sleuths of the de- tectlve bureau. They were photo graphed and taken to the Centre street court for arraignment. rf Tk. * SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENT OF Fourtli National Sank of Atlanta At tke Close of Business June 29,1907 dwroml the other dfty to make comparison appear favorable Cbartier br rodrowing tho i ersminiojr the Chartler la less space* am dlsronnivtlnK the Graham phrases am spreading the notea In moro space, but bis ittempt wss A Shorthand Curiosity* •erttohes. ire didn't know his business.

Words cpn not describe Its rugged pic. turesquenesa, Its purple mountains, Iti emerald valleys, Its crystal streams. No written account of the dally happen ings in any of Its Independent little towns can give an adequate Idea of Its shrewd, honest, Independent people and their busy lives. It seems to me that Clayton Is one of the most Interesting of the north Georgia towns it has been my good fortune to visit. Already has its fame begun to spread abroad, and there Is a liberal sprinkling of summer visit ors, for when one has once breathed tho crisp, life-giving air from the mountains round about, the charm of the place has fixed Its spell upon the fancy, and Rabun county has gained JUJU another devotee. The Fourth of July was celebrated In Clayton with true patriotic fervor. The Masons held their annual celebration, the baseball team played a brilliant game, and wit and wisdom added to the Joys of a Georgia barbecue. Early In the morning the good peo ple of Rabun—men, women and chil dren—began to assemble In Clayton, and by the time the sun had risen over Sreamor and Black Rock, the town was alive with Interested specta tors. Richardson Brothers' brass band, from Gainesville, furnished music for the occasion. The Stars and Stripes were..floating from the. hotel. balco-; nles and over the roofs of private, resi dences, for many of the citizens of Clayton are descendants of the old line Revolutionary stock and glory In-their ancestry. At 10 o'clock the Masons held a meeting In their lmll, and this wns followed by a parade, In which the Masons, board of education, public school children, baseball team and citi zens participated. Tho parade ended on the crest of the beautiful bill, where thore will soon be erected a handsome school building, called the Bleckley Memorial Institute, In honor of the late Logan E. Bleckley, whose early education w-as received In sight of this spot. Fully 22)00 people attended the exercises and heard three fine speeches, each a gem of Its kind. The first speaker, whole assigned theme was to be of an educational na ture, was Colonel J. Q. Nolan, of Mc Donough, or, aa he Is known to Geor gians, “Jack Nolan, of Henry county." Colonel Nolan’s theme was "Litera ture," but In hie eloquent and forceful address he carried his hearer* through the elyslan fields of learning from the time -of Pericles to the present day, and Impressed upon the younger mem- erence for the good, the beautiful, the true. After Colonel Nolan’s address all present participated In a good old Georgia garbecue. After dinner Colonel Thomas H. Jef fries, of Atlanta, delivered a Masonic address In his usual Inimitable style, where wit and pathos followed so closely In each other's wake that the smiles and tears formed rainbows of emotion on the countenances of his hearers. The last address of the day wt fine effort by Colonel I. C. Wade, of Cornelia, Ga., whose theme, "Grass and Fruit,” was of especial Interest to the portion of his audience who were con cerned with agricultural Interests. In the afternoon the absorbing fea ture was the baseball game between Clayton and Flowery Branch, notice of which, recording Clayton’e victory, ap pears on the sporting page. Clayton, Ga.

He ridiculed every statement the Southern senator made. Tillman, who Is the guest of acquaintances, hurried Into Jackson, Mich., July 6.—This town Is discussing with bated breath the dire possibility of a duel between United States Senators Dolllver and Tillman. Tillman demands gore. Dolllver Is not willing to -concede any to the South Carollnan. Dolllver ridicules Tillman.

Dolllver read the story In the news paper and met Tillman In the lobby of the Otsego Hotel. According to by standers, a stormy Interview was the result and serious trouble Is declared to have been Imminent. Then, according to the story, Dolllver sold ho was not fighting duels, and Tillman branded him ns a coward. Dolllver has left town. He was fol lowed to the station by a mob of soveral hundred and the police had difficulty In getting him through the crowd In the train sheds.

Co., 45-47-49 Peachtree L A bill to compel connecting lines of railroad, operating under one manage ment or company, to compute freight charges upon the continuous mileage basis, will be Introduced In the house of representatives next week by Mr. Flanders, of Johnson. The bill strikes a blow at tho "short er the route, the greater the charge" custom which railroads have followed since the laying of the first crosstie. It Is Intended especially to fit condi tions In the smaller towns In the state of Georgia, where a railroad system carries freight a long distance, switches It at a certain town or city, and then routes It to Its destination over one of their short lines, the freight charges over the shorter route being compara tively much greater than over the long er line. The text of the bill Is as follows; “Section 1. Be It enacted by the gen eral assembly of Georgia, That where two or more connecting rallroade are operated by or under one management or company, or where one of such cor- panles owns all or a majority of the stock In the other companies, com pany or companies so connecting, the rates of carriage of freight over such railroads shall be compuled upon the continuous mileage basis as If such railroads were but a slnglo railroad company, whether said railroads have separate boards of directors and sep. arate officers or not. "Sec. 2. Be It further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that any railroad company or com provisions of this law shall ly forfeit Its charier or their charters, and the attorney general of this state shall Immediately take such action os may be necessary to havo such charter or charters forfeited.” STATISTICS.

Use The Sheltering Arms has found Its summer cottago and the orphans will havo fresh air. It Is all duo to the generosity of Michael A. Ersklne, of the traffic de partment of tho Southern Bell Tele phono Company. He called at the office of Tho Georgian Saturday morning, Just recovering from a-short Illness. In his hand he had a clipping from The Geor gian. ‘I see that tha Sheltering Arms needs a cottage In tho country for tha poor little orphane," he said. “I havo a big plantation Just waiting for them. There Is one cottago on It, nnd another across the road, ana I'll rent that and give It to them for the cummer." - When Miss 8. T. Oliver, matron of the Sheltering Arms, was told by Tho Georgian of Mr. Ersklne's generous of fer, hor surprised nnsiver left no room for doubt that It would be accepted. "That's Just fine," she said, "and I'll ■ .Mr. Ersklno at once. I want to Hamit him nnd The Georgian, for we didn’t know where wo would find a cool place for the children." The Ersklno plantation, long disused. 1- Just In-yiind Fort McPherson and ad joining the government reservation. There la plenty of shado and an old- fashioned plantation house, and across the road la a five-room cottage for rent, which Mr. Ersklne will rent nnd turn over to the Sheltering Arms If his offer Is accepted. The home has now fifty and sixty orphan children to care for, and the outlook for tha eummer was a gloomy one. An orphanage In the city Is not : the best place for a family of that size to spend the heatod months, and a fresh air summer home was greatly needed, "We hare already received two offers of cottages through the publicity given through Tha Georgian," said Miss Oil- ver, "but one wns at Adamsvllle and "11" nt (.'artersvllle. and though we ap preciated the offers greatly, we were afraid the homes tendered us were too far from the city. Wo shall taka up Mr. Ersklne's offer at once and there Is little doubt that It will bo accepted.” RIVER IMPROVEMENTS ON THE CAPE FEAR. Special to The Georgian. Wilmington, N.
