Columbus Man Reported
Ailvs and Well.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. 23. — W. O.
Bowden, who was reported as drowned
at Tybee last summer, and for whose
i body a search was kept up for days, has
; returned home. Last August Bowden
j went down to Savannah with a relative
— ■ ' . * . presumably on an outing. He was re
ported by his relatives to have gone in
. ,, . i bathing at Tybee one night. He did
leave that poiot! not return from the beach, so far as was
known, and was reported drowned. A
long search was made for his body,
which was personally conducted by his
brother, Newell K. Bowden, bat could
not be found.
Bowden carried between $20,000 and
$30,000 life insurance. The companies
refused to make payment until they in
vestigated the case.
Bowden states that he left Columbus
on account of a family unpleasantness;
that he went from here to Savannah,
and Savannah to Richmond. He says
that he did not know of the report that
he was drowned. Pie fell sick in Rich
mond and was ill several weeks. Upon
his recovery he' started home and did
not know of his reported death until he
reached Atlanta.
The return of Bowden has naturally
created a sensation.

Washington, Nov. 27.—The annual
report of the United States Indian in
spector for Indian Territory calls atten
tion to the fact that the territory, em-
braciug nearly 20,000,000 acres, Is owned
in common by citizens or the various
tribes, comprising Indians, negroes and
inter-married whites, aggregating 84,-

the borders of which also are located
some 350,000 whites, or noncitizens,
who have no title to property and are

Washington, Nov. 27.—The presi

the Good Roads congress, which recently
has been in session in Chicago. The
delegation was headed by W. H. Moore,
who presented a memorial urging the
president to recommend an apDropria-
tion of $150,000 for the construction of
sample roads and the diffusion of in
formation on the subject of road mak
ing. The president expressed his inter

said he would be glad to further their

It Will Be Fortified aud a Strong Gar
rison Kept There.
Washington, Nov. 27.—It is stated
upon good authority that the United
States will retain possession of the Isle
of Pines whatever the final disposition
of Cuba. It will be fortified and a
strong garrison will be kept there.
Lying south of the western end of
Cuba the Isie of Pines commauds the
western or Yucatan entrance to the gulf
and forms an important outpost for the
defense of the Nicaragua caual.
While Secretary Root visited Cuba he
went to the island and recognized its
strategic importance. The state depart
ment now holds that under the treaty
of peace the title of the Isle of Pines
passed to the United States. Secretary
Root holds a similar view. The north
ern side of the island—that next to the
Cuban shores—is admirably adapted for
the purposes of the government. It is
highly, thickly studded with valuable
woods aud the climate is so healthful
that prior to the war a health resort for
pulmonary patients was established
there.
Naval officers say that Siguenea bay,
on the northwest coast, will, with but
little dredging, afford an excellent and
safe harbor.

Waller accompanied Bowden to Tybee

MAY CONDEMN RIGHT OF WAY
Postal Telegraph Company Gets a Ver
dict Over the Plant System.
Savannah, Nov. 26.—Judge Falligaut
of the superior court has ruled that the
Postal Telegraph and Cable company
has the right to condemn the right of
way of the Plant system in certain
counties in South Georgia for the pur
pose of erecting poles upon which to
string its wires.
Some time ago the Postal company
sought to condemn the Plant system’s
right of way between Thomasville and
Albany and between Thomasville and
Valdosta for the purpose of patting up
its wires.
The railway company claimed that
such action would greatly damage it,
and filed a petition for injunction before
Judge Falligaut. The court granted a
temporary restraining order, which,
after a hearing, has been dissolved.
Charles F. Prendergast has been
named as assessor by the Postal com
pany, but so far the Plant system has
not designated its representative.

REMAINS OF A HUMAN FOSSIL
Formation Below the Devonien Age
Dug Out of a 3Iine.
Florence, Ala., Nov. 28.—Judge
Thomas R. Roulhac of Sheffield has in
collection the fossil remains of a man
and a corn cob pipe found in the Bo
nanza mine of brown hermatite ore,' 60
feet below the surface, near Russell
ville-^ These specimens are in splendid
preservation end have been pronounced
genuine human fossils by Dr. Phillips
of Birmingham and other well known
scientific authorities. The steam shovel
in digging the ore broke the fossilized
remains.
Tue formation is below the Devonian
age and it is one of the problems of na
ture that will never be understood as it
was before man is supposed to have in
habited the earth. Judge Ronlhac will
present the fossil to the Smithsonian in
stitute with Indian aud other relics, in
cluding the molar of a mastodon found
in the limestone quarry of T. L. Fos
sick & Co., near Darlington. This sec
tion is peculiarly rich in Indian remains
and evidences of prehistoric races.
