Money Yet Young Links Forged in Redwine Case
Atlanta detectives claim progress in the Gate City National Bank theft case as a collar and a dollar button surface as crucial links. Mrs. Hammond, under guard at the Metropolitan, was found sober and denying ownership of the recovered collar though it matches a lost item. A trunk at her house contained the collar, which she said belonged to a different man connected to her visitors.

Storm wrecks houses and forests in Sumter and Schley counties
A violent cyclone swept the western edge of Sumter and Schley counties Friday evening, destroying cabins and fences, uprooting pines, and injuring several people. John D. Nicholson and companions sought shelter in a tenant’s house on Tooke plantation as the storm passed, collapsing the building and sending them to the ground. White and Black residents endured the devastation side by side as trees and debris ruined property along multiple plantations. The funnel crossed northeastward toward Oglethorpe, with extensive damage reported to gin houses, cabins, and Amber timber.
