BAILIFFS Utt STORETOEETSIS Millinery Strop Is Invaded by Court’s Collectors and Much Stock Damaged, Mrs. 1. Springer. 75 Whitehall street, Is bitter today in her denunciations of the justice court system which Atlanta has tried so long to eliminate and which may eventually be abolished through a municipal court. Two bail iffs from Justice Jackson’s tribunal had invaded her milliner) store and torn more than $7<M) worth of willow plumes and trimmings from the eases to satisfy a claim of sls, of which Mrs. Springer declares she had no knowl edge. The raid on the store occurred dur ing the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Springer, while the store was in the charge of several young women clerks. When Mrs. Springer returned she found the saleswomen weeping hys terically and the store looked like a wreck. The bailiffs had ruined goods amounting to many times the value of the alleged debt, she says. "I don’t know why this outrage should have been committed," said Mrs Springer. "The bailiff from Judge Jackson's court called up my husband on the telephone and said Mr Sponger owed them sls. He was very’ rough and wanted the money right then and wouldn’t explain what it was for. "It was only a little time after that v e got the telephone message that they were in the store and taking out our things. They had said they would move the whole store unless they got the money. I never felt so bad about anything in my life. that, they should humiliate us and take our goods off in a dray, without even giving us the chance to make bond: or do anything It certainly is an outrage.’’ TURNERS TO CELEBRATE FOURTH AT GERMANIA The Atlanta Turn Verein, founded in 1873, will celebrate July 4 with a bas ket picnic at Germania park (beyond Ijakewood).

Oddie of Nevada of George Wingfield, of Reno, friend and business associate of the late Sen ator George S. Nixon, as L’nited States senator to serve until the meeting of the legislature in January, 1913. At that time, the legislature will elect, a successor to complete the unexpired term, which extends until March, 1917. The appointment was expected. Senator Wingfield, now known as the richest man in Nevada, was a cowboy in the southern part of the state when Tonopah first acquired prominence as a-mining camp in 1903. He rode into the boom camp, where $1 bought noth ing more to eat than a plate of pork and beans, with sl2 In his pocket. The late Senator George S. Nixon was then a clerk in a Tonopah bank and grubstaked Wingfield, according to popularly accepted stories, to S2OO. Five years later Wingfield was rated a mil lionaire and today is estimated to be worth between $12,000,000 and $20,000,- Otu). The greatest single factor In his financial success has been his control of Gollfield Consolidated. Became Partners. Within a few weeks after Nixon had loaned the S2OO, Wingfield tendered him the principal, and with it interest in the sum of $4,000. representing half the profits in a mining venture. Nixon told him to keep the $4,000 and uee it for his (Nixon’s) interest. The partnership thus formed endured for six years. Investments and speculations involv ing hundreds of thousands of dollars of capital were carried on independently by the. partners, and often neither knew of a deal the other was conducting until its culmination. Their partnership, which never was based upon any writ ten agreement, was terminated in 1909, with both men wealthy. Nixon looked over the banking end of their business, including the J. S. Cook bank at Goldfield, through which the greater part of th® tremendous wealth produced by that camp passed. Wingfield, scraping together all his available cash and extending his credit to the uttermost, took over their min ing claims, including Goldfield Con solidated. then regarded as a worked out prospect.
