Mr. Kilby wal called to Jacksonville
and the package was forward’d to
him in that city. On an examination
a handsome gold watch, which was
shipped to mm with other thing?,
was missing ..ml evidences were man'
ifest of the opening of the package.
Mr. Kilby returned to Brunswick a
day or two ago and upon investlga
ling at the expre. s office ascertained
ihat the package had been delivered
to and signed for by one of the <,lerks.
at tiio, Oglethorpe. Mr. Kilt y was
not able to secure definite Informa
tlonyii.out the absence of his watch,
accordingly Bought Justice ci

rooms specified. It developed that
one of the rooms was occupied by
Mhos. A. Lloyd, formerly a local fruit

hotel people. He did cot intend to
cast any insinuations upon Mr. Lloyd
any more than upon any other em

had been appropriated and he simply
wanted it returned to him.
Mr. Lloyd was also seen at tho Og
l thorpe by a News reporter, and he
slated that Jie had been assisting
Mr. Kilby in his efforts to locate the

prised when an officer appeared at

The decision was reached at a

the southeastern railroads held yes
terday and day before. Under tht
new arrangement these thousand

one on the part of the railroads, it
is looked upon ty many as an effort

In addition the great convenience
