THE Sl'ACON' T)ATT.Y TELEGRAPIIi THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 24, 1003 ‘‘IMA,” Hie $3,500 Stallion, whose earnings for 12 months were $1,440, to be sold by order of the Court, at 12 o’clock, noon, Tuesday, Dec. 29th, in front —— of the Court House. E. W. GOULD, Receiver, is also authorized to receive private bids before that time "MALA” IS NOW ON EXHIBITION AT C. M. BRAN AN SON’S STABLES, POPLAR STREET This celebrated horse, which made a mile in 2:12 3-4, in 1907, is undoubtedly the best known horse in the South. He is gentle as a kitten, absolutely afraid of nothing, and so thoroughly schooled that any woman or child can drive him. He is beyond doubt the handsomest horse in the State. Go see him. He is most royally bred. The Macon News said of him: For the first time in many years a horse in Bibb county has been placed in the hands of a receiver. Banks and grocery stores and other kinds of business have been closed np and turned over to men who might administer their affairs but at no time has a horse ever been in such a pre dicament. How a “receivered” horse feels cannot bo stated by the News, but such an animal has a right to hold himself, or herself aloof from the general, run of equities. The horse in question is named Mala, and has been appraised at $3,500 by men who under stand full well the value of horseflesh. The re ceiver appointed by Judge Felton is E. W, Gould, a well known Macon man. “Main” is undoubtedly the most celebrated horse that has ever been in Georgia, his sire being Cleburne, (2:11 1-4,) while his gran- daddy was Brown Hal, (2:111-2,) sire of Star Pointer (1:59 1-4.) Mala is a blue stocking right, his ancecstry going back to Pilot,-Jr., the sire of Maud S. and J. I. C. One of his other grandaddies, too, was Bour bon Wilkes, the father of Split Silk. Alto gether his pedigree shows there are between two and three hundred offspring of his gran- ditddies that could step in 1:59 1-4 or better. Indeed, “Mala” himself is no slouch, having a record of 2:12 3-4. Receiver Gould has placed the horse with' C. M. Branan’s Son on poplar street. The horse is appraised by a well known local horseman at $3,500.—News, Monday, Dec. 14, CLEBURNE, TULA I, 2:11*4. MAY 8TONKK. TRIAL, 2:22)4 mn ham,, Jr., meat.

Counsel for the defense assured the court that every effort would bo made to complete the hearing tomorrow. If this is found impossible, a recess will be taken until Monday.

Robin wanted her to see her father and prevent trouble. Soon afterwards her father came In. He seemed indignant. He sut down at her desk In the library and wrote a letter, in substance like this: Col. Cooper's Letter. “I am an old man. 65 yeats' old; I am not an office holder or an office seeker. I am a private citizen and you have no more right to say these things about me in the paper than you have to say them to my face.” Former State Treasurer K.

Doc. 23.— Tho downfall of President Castro In Vcnesuela was completed flaturday last with the frustration of a'desperate plot to nnwiHHlnnte Jimn Vicente Gomez, the acting president of the republic. Several euhtegrainH havo pnescil between Presi dent Castro in Berlin, and his ugents here since tho popular anti-Castro aemonslra tion of December 13 and It. A Promi nent lawyer has filed an accusation in the high federal court dunging President r’uHtro with complicity In tho attempted ussasslnutlon unu proposing his i.npeurh- ment. There was a meeting Friday night of the plotters In tho residence hi Iferarus of Ourhlras Ouzmun. who was secretary In tho last Castro cabinet and who wt)S Vh! determined to assassinate' Acting Presi dent (loinez, Joes DeJeius Paul, the for eign minister; Oen. Leopold*# Baptism, and tho other prominent men; seize the administration of the country and with tho army terrorize and ovor«awo the pop ulation. T or res- Card* n as, who was at **ne time minister of tho Interior under President Castro and later his personal secretary, was the active lender of tho conspiracy, lie was entrusted with tho carrying out of the plot. He liad as lieutenant* the commanders of tlurco battalions. In spite of the precautions taken an Intimation of what was on foot reached j the ears of Acting President Gomes. A* soon os he satisfied himself of tho truth i of tho reports lie took Immediate stops to frustrate the attempt. The Plot Fruztrsted. Early Saturday morning ho went alone on foot to the barracks In Caracas, where a mutinous regiment under tho comniiitpl of President Castro’s brother was quar tered. Ho entered the building and placed tlje brother of ihe president under arrest. The nerve of Gomes made It possible for him to carry out this dangerous maneu ver successfully. He then went to th- yellow house, the executive mansion, where he !md a brief Interview with Torres-Cardenus. The chief of the conspirators denied tho ex istence of any plot, domes would not he deceived by such assurance*. He seised Torrea-Ckrdenas by the shoulders, and slinking him roughly, said: “I have discovered your plot to assas sinate me. You arc my primmer.” m**z was too quick for him. He pinioned the man's arm* and called the guurd. Tor res-Carden as was seised and dis armed and hurried away to jail. These two arrests, made slnglelianded by OoffigL broke the ba**k of the plot. Gomes’s frlvads came forward quickly to his support. As soon ns the nows of tlm sansatlunnl occurrence* became known throughout the etty, an Inmieo*# crowd gathered In the Plata Ilolfvnr nml gave unmlstakabh* evidence of Its pleasure at the turn af fair* had taken.
