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. A. Catalogue for You.

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,- 750 people, including freedmen, within the borders of which also are located some 350,000 whites, or noncitizens, who have no title to property and are without representation in the govern ment of the territory. Until the lauds are appraised and al lotted by the commission to the five civ ilized tribes, lands in town sites dis- pos d of, aud tribal governments have President Favors Good Roads. Washington, Nov. 27.—The presi dent today received a delegation from the Good Roads congress, which recently has been in session in Chicago. The delegation was headed by W. H.

Jesse Black Cuts John Cobb’s Throat With a Razor. Goldsboro, N. C., Nov. 27.—A mur der was committed in the southern lim its of the city at an early hour. A woman, the wife of the victim, figures in the case and has, along with the mur derer, been committed to jail, held as a witness. John Cobb is the victim and Jesse Blackburn, alias Jesse Black, the murderer. The weapon used was a razor blade— Cobb’s left face was split opeu from above the corner of the lip to the throat Committee on Military Affairs. Washington, Nov. 27.—The house | below and his neck was cut opeu from behind the left ear to near the throat, become extinct, certain laws of Arkau are extended over Indian Territory. Federal laws apply in other instances and the secretary of the interior is charged by law with the enforcement of rules and regulations governing other mutters. Such a condition renders affairs so complicated that it is not*sur prising wheu courts aud eminent law yers differ as to the proper construction of the law, that the people are fre quently at a loss to dermine what laws apply or who is authorized to enforce them. In view of the combined refusal of uou-citizeus within the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations to comply with the laws, and of. the fact that the Recommendation is made for modifi- | cation of section 3 of the Curtis act, so | as to authorize the secretary of the iute- I rior to investigate land improvement ! contracts and remove non-citizens, giv- | iug the latter the right to appeal to the i United States government to regain pos- 1 session. Other recommendations are | that the present system and rate of taxes j be superseded by a uniform system fixed ' upon non-citizens engaged in business to be collected by rules aud regulations of the interior department, and used for the common good; the withdrawal of a sufficient amount of the Cherokee na tion funds from the United States treas ury to pay all their outstanding indebt edness, and additional legislation pro viding that until allotment citizens may rent their proportion of “agricultural or grazing’ ’ land for such purpose only.

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. the purpose of considering the new army bill. The business was mostly of a pre liminary character, the discussion being quite general on army affairs. The Re publican members of the committee apparently favor giving the presi dent such an army as he may require. the left* ear to an artery being cat in two. Waller Makes a Statement. Columbus, Ga.,*Nov. 26.—Robert E. Waller, brother-in-law of W. O.

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.

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. J.B.White&Co. AUGUSTA, GA.
