A Lucky Rhymer.
Mirabeau L. Towns, a Brooklyn law
yet who once lived in Atlanta, re
ceived a legaoy of $150,000 the other
day from an eccentric Irishman who
had taken a fanoy to the lawyer's
rhymes.
About ten years ago the Irishman
called on Mr. Towns and requested
him to take the case of an old woman j
who wanted damages for being bitten
by a dog and drenched with water
from a hose. But the condition was
that Mr. Towns should utilize his
poetio gifts by making an argument in
rhyme. The proposition was acoepted
and the jury gave the woman a verdict
for $75. The Irishman gave him an
other case which he also won, after
making his argument in rhyms.
To cut a long story short, it is
enough to say that this strange : ad
mirer of Mr. Townu's poetry is dead,
and has made the rhymer one of his
four heirs, each of whom will get
$150,000.
"We do not believe that there is a
similar case on record. Certainly, no
American ever before reoeived such a
tich reward for a few jingling verses.
