_ 'Clever Rwe Worked to Locate Hard Cash and Assess It For Texas. I m THOUSANDS DEPOSITED IN NEIGHBORING BANKS Had Money Hidden About a Their Premises, but the Mineral Rod f: Threat Induced Them to Dig It Up and Carry It to Town. Farmers by Dally News Special. New Augusta, August 13.—The Per CoUnty Board of Supervisors has adjourned after a drastic session of nine days, devoted chiefly to the work of canvassing the rolls of the county and raising and lowering val ry assessor Hundreds of citizens were uations. summoned before the board to show why they should not be assessed with property, while almost an equal more number appeared on their own volition to raise objection to the values flxed by the assessor. A feature of the meeting which will down into history as one of the go most original and effective ruses ever worked In any law-making body was announcement early In the session w that a dozen mineral rods had been purchased and that these would be turned over to deputy shrifts to be UBed In locating hard cash which had not been given In to the assessor. Of course, the "mineral rod" Is a fake. It is claimed by the makers, however, that when properly balanced It will Invariably point the -way to •burled treasure. Years ago, It Is said that James Copeland, a notorious high wayman, burled thousands of dallars near this place, and It was first rum ored that the "mineral rods" would be used to locate this treasure. But the farmers who had gold and silver hurled In the backyrds or hid away in their houses decided that If the "mineral rod" would locate the Copeland thou sands It would also point the way to their private horde, and the aforesaid farmers Immediately proceeded to de posit their savings In the neighboring hanks where It was later discovered by the assessor. In this way It Is estimated that many thousands of dollars have been added to the taxable wealth of Perry Coun ty and it Is probable that boards of supervisors In other cpuntles will be •rgfilek to realize the effectiveness of the plan.

B ifii Grand Jury to Inveitigate Charge That Ha Set Fire to Howe of Hit Mother-in-Law. C:V EVIDENCE WAS n The State Failed to Adduce Any Strong Testimony Against the De fendant and Judge Bolton 8ald It Was a Bailable Case. The case of the State vs j. W. Hol 11s, charged wi*h arson, caule up for trial in Justice Bolton's court, which was hold at Ihe court house, yesterday afternoon and was not finished until nearly right. The result of the trial was that Judge Bolton announced that he thought it was a bailable case and be flxed the bond of HoUls at the Bum of $1,500, which Hollis hopes to make today. The evidence against Hollis was purely of a circumstantial character and as the chain of circumstantial evi dence is only as strong as the. weak est link In it, the Btate did not make out a strong case on tire evidence submitted. Behind the charge was considerable feeling. There had been domestie troubles galore between the husband and wife and the mother-in-law. Hol lis appears to be about 35 years of age, while his wife is but about i7 and pretty. It appears that the couple married about a year and a half ago and to the union was bom one little girl who Is now about six months old. .The couple parted for the third time about two weeks ago, the young moth er and her child going to live with Mrs. Ella Coker, whose house was burned Tuesday morning at about 3:80 o'clock. Hollis was represented by attorneys J. E. Davis and Dan T. Currie, Judge Bolton examined the witnesses In be half of the state. The case, summed up, seems to have been one of suspicion, mostly. MrB. Ella Coker, Hollis' mother-in laW, was the strongest witness for the state and her testimony was greatly damaged by that of her daughter, MrB. Hollis, and by at least one other wit-, ness. Shq testified that Hollis sent a Methodist preacher to see her Monday morning to ascertain If a reconcilia tion could- be effected between Hollla and his wife, the result of which was not pleasing to Hollis. During Mon day Hollis came to see her and asked for a private Interview, which she re fused, but talked to him on the steps. She stated that HoUls accused her of bringing about all the trouble between himself and his wife; that he said, "I will burn the house and everything with you and you can go to hell." 't By counsel for defense, Mrs. Coker was asked If she was addicted to tl\e use of morphine and she replied that she positively was not; that she had used It In Crystal Springs before com ing to Hattiesburg, but had taksfn the "St. James Cure" and had nevea used a particle since she came to Hafl ttesburg. The defense contradicted this testimony by placing A. T. PowJ on the stand who said he had worked at Doxlerls drug store until It failed and sold whole bottles of morphine very often to MrB. Coker. Mrs. Hollis, when put on the stand, 4 stated that she was in a room very close to the Steps when her mother A and her husband were talking and that her husband did not tell her mothen^H that he would burn the place, .but sa|^R|| to her mother "Your soul will hurj^H 5 torment." The only other testimony thj^K^ji ed at. ali to cause susplcloj^B^fej.r£l Hollls was that of Mr. who said after the alarm'S'ip V' pistol shots, he saw Hol^B;>J'■ the direction of the his, Hollis' house; ~V,' a black suit and a^^Z; 1 other witnesses was in a and had on _ _____ _
