NEGRO CHILDREN
CHEWED CHILD'S ARM BADLY.
ALSO BIT 2-YEAR-OLD GIRL ON
THE LEFT CHEEK.
Mother of Children Appealed to Po
lice, and Dog Ua Taken In
Charlie and Placed In a Cell—lden
tified an Property of Mr. Edwin
Frank—Air. Frank Says He Did
Not Permit Dor to Go on Streets,
and It Ran Taken from Hin Yard.
A -bull dog attacked two negro chil
dren at No. 521 Charlton street, east,
yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, and
but for timely Interference it is be
, lieved at least one of them would have
been killed. The dog occupies a cell
at the police station.
Mollie Bass, the mother of the two
children appeared at police headquar
ters shortly after noon with the young
fir of the two children, and reported to
the desk sergeant that the dog had
very nearly killed one of her children
and had badly bitten the youngest on
the cheek.
The two children who were attacked
are 4 and 2 years old, respectively. The
dog, which it 'afterwards developed,
was the property of Mr. Edwin Frank,
was in the yard at No. 519 Charlton
street, east, where Ed Denegall re
sides. The Bass woman moved next
door to Denegall last Saturday.
Fastened Teeth in Arm.
According to the statement made by
the mother the dog got Into the street,
where her children were playing, and
the first intimation she had of its
presence was the screams of both chil
dren.
She rushed Into the street, and was
horrified to see the older of the chil
dren In the grip of a large bull dog.
The dog had fastened its teeth in the
child's left arm, and held on like grim
death. Blood was also streaming from
the left cheek of the younger child, sit
ting on the ground.
With a mother’s frenzy for her child
in distress the woman set upon the
dog with a stick, and soon made it
loose its hold. Both children were car
ried Into their home, where their
wounds were dressed.
Chiltl in Evidence.
As evidence of the vicious attack
made by the dog the mother took the
younger of the children to police head
quarters, where the wound on its cheek
was displayed. Patrolman Charles
Collins was detailed to investigate the
case and find the owner of the dog.
On going to the house occupied by
Denegall the officer was told that the
dog belonged to Mr. Edwin Frank,
and was in the habit of going to the
Denegall house. The officer took the
dog in charge and carried it to the
police station, where it was placed in
a cell. It was afterwards identified
as Mr. Frank’s dog by Dr. W. F.
Brunner, who had given the dog to
Mr. Frank.
Dog AY ns Taken Away.
Mr. Frank stated to the police that
the dog had been taken from his yard,
where it was kept as a watch dog, and
was never allowed on the street. He
stated that on two previous occasions
the dog hud been carried off, and that
he had offered a reward, and when
the dog was returned to him the re
ward was paid.
Detective J. J. Murphy, who recov
ered the dog from a negro for Mr.
Frank on one oocasion, will investigate
the case to determine whether it was
the same negro to whom a reward was
paid-onee before, and in that event the
negro will be arrested for taking the
dog for the purpose of obtaining re
wards for its return.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY.NOVEMBER 23. 1904.
THINK STOWAWAY
DROWNED HIMSELF
ESCAPED WITH HANDCUFFS
FROM STEAMSHIP LEXINGTON AT
THE BALTIMORE WHARF.
Body Not Recovered and no Trace
of Him Eonnd in Savannah—Two
Stowaways, Rotli Handcuffed,
Were Confine cl Together and Port
Hole Wan Only Avenue ol Escape.
Stowanay Still on Hoard Says He
Heard Splash in River.
With handcuffs on. a white stowa
way is thought to have jumped from
the steamship Lexington at the Balti
more wharf and drowned at an early
hour yesterday morning.
Through the port hole of the apart
ment where he was locked was the
only avenue of escape, unless he had a
confederate on the ship who unlocked
the door for him.
Whether the stowaway was drowned
or made his escape is not known. It
was some time before daylight that the
man left the ship, and no one saw
him. Thinking he may have possibly
escaped, officials of the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Company fur
nished a detective with a description
of him, so he would be known if seen
in the city.
The Lexington arrived from Balti
more during the night, and was at the
wharf when the stowaway left the
yessel. Two stowaways had been dis
covered on board shortly after the
steamer left Baltimore. Both were
young white men. They were placed
in irons and confined in one of the
apartments ibelow deck. As the ship is
to return to Baltimore Thursday, the
stowaw'ays were left on board when
the Lexington reached this port, in
stead of being turned over to the po
lice, as is usually done in such cases.
Steam pipes run through the apart
ment where the men were confined
and they complained of the heat.
Capt. Kirwan ordered one of his men
to open the port hole and told the man
to warn the prisoners that they would
drown if they attempted to escape
through it. In the morning when the
apartment was visited only one of
prisoners was there.
The remaining stowaway stated he
heard a splash in the w-ater about 2
o’clock in the morning. Capt. Kirwan
stated to a friend that he thought the
man must have been drowned. The
surviving stowaway In still held on
the steamer and will be carried back
to Baltimore.
The body of the stowaway has not
been found in the river and no trace
of him has been discovered In the
city.

MR. BISBEE RENDERS BILL
FOR TUG’S SERVICES.
Charges the City $230 for Work ot
the Dauntless at Fire.
Mr. W. A. Bi*ee, the owner of the
tug Dauntless, has sent the City a bill
for $250 for the services rendered by
the tug at the recent Seaboard ware
house fire.
The bill will be presented to Council
to-night, but it is not thought it will
be acted on at once. Several of the
city officials stated yesterday that they
thought the charge was entirely too
high.
Among the Rems in the bill is a
charge of SSO for a section of hose,
which was cut during the fire.' The
charge for the tug Is SIOO for the first
hour, SSO for the second and $25 each
for the third and fourth hours. The
city will probably compensate the own
er of the tug for the work at the fire,
but R is not believed so large a sum
will he paid.
Mr. Bisbee, the owner of the Daunt
less, and Mr. Jacob Paulsen, the pres
ident of the Propeller Tow Boat Com
pany sent a joint letter to Council,
asking that tugs be paid for their serv
ices at the fire. As has been an
nounced in the Morning News, the
cRy intends to make some arrange
ment with the tug owners, so that
they will receive compensation. The
tugs, except the Dauntless, that aided
at the Seaboard fire, are in the pay of
the railroad for just such emergen
cies.
CLAIM CITY USED
PRIVATE PROPERTY.
Sldennlk* on Wheaton Street Are
Partly on Private Land,
There is a dispute on between the
city and Mr. Horace Rivers et al. over
sidewalks laid some time ago on
Wheaton street, the property owners
contending that the sidewalks are par
tially on their property. The bills,
which the city has rendered the own
ers for the sidewalks, have not been
paid and this further complicates
matters.
The city contends that the sidewalks
are not on private property and that
the bills should be paid. They have
been turned over to the city marshal
and a levy will probably be made if
an agreement is not reached. The
owners contend the city has used a
portion of their land and that they
should not be made to pay for the
sidewalks until an agreement is
reached in regard to the land in dis
pute.
Should a levy be owners
would probably carpy the matter Into
the courts. Efforts are being made to
have the dispute settled amicably.
PRINCIPALS i'n^FlgTiT - "
HAVE SKIPPED OUT.
No arrests of the principals in the
three-cornered fight which took place
at Anderson and .East Broad streets
early yesterday morning have yet
been made, as all of the negroes have
skipped out, or have succeeded in
eluding the police.
It was learned by the police a short
time after the difficulty that two of
the negroes hart ■'gone to Dr. Lloyd’s
office for treatment, but they left 'the
office of the physician before the offi
cers arrived. It W3S learned that Wil
liams was shot in the hip by one of
the Holmes boys(; and that Benjamin
Holmes was badly stabbed in the neck
by Williams. The r6w started over a
woman.
CANE BEER EXPLODED;
SCARED DETECTIVE.
Gane grinding is on at the county

Detective Frank Wall and Clerk Rob

Chaplin a visit yesterday afternoon.
Detective Wall had a narrow escape
from serious injury. While carrying a
jug of cane beer to the buggy the
vessel suddenly exploded under, the
high pressure of -the gas generated by
shaking the jug. Beyond a severe
shock to the nerves the plain clothes
man was unhurt.

it before drafting the ordinance.
He desires to provide for a 'brake

Physicians Recommended Change ol

He Will Go for Her and Leave no
Stone L'ntnrned to Bring Guilty
to Justice—Will Wndley Remand
ed for Carrying Concealed Weap
ons.
Miss Eloise Lynah, who had such a
harrowing experience with a negro
burglar two weeks ago, and who went
to Charleston several days since to re
cover from the strain on her nervous
system, will return to Savannah to
morrow or next day to identify the
two negroes now held at the police
station as suspects.
Will Wadley, the first negro arrested,
was bound over to the City Court by
the Recorder yesterday for carrying
concealed weapons.
Will Patterson will be held on the
charge of robbery, an overcoat having
been found at his home on Guerard
street, which has been Identified by
Mr. Joseph Robinson as having been
stolen from him several weeks ago.
Mr. Robinson’s gloves and some pa
pers with his name on them were
found in the pockets.
Detective Mose Davis, who arrested
both negroes, is inclined to the belief
that Patterson is the man wanted.
When arrested he had on anew su(t
of overalls, and was in no wise at
tired as was the negro who Miss Lynah
described. All of the other particu
lars fitted to a nicety with those given
by Miss Lynah.
Detective Davis says he shadowed
Patterson for a week, ‘and his general
demeanor when he was finally round
ed up was such as to confirm a sus
picion that he had been guilty of some
crime.
Since the night when Miss Lynah
gazed into the barrel of the revolver
leveled at her by the burglar, she has
been ‘at a high nervous tension, and
physicians prescribed a change of
scene. Accompanied by her father she
went to Charleston to visit relatives.
Miss Lynah’s statements as to the
appearance of the man she saw are
cldar and positive. She said she saw
him in good light, and took careful note
of every detail of his clothing and gen
eral appearance. She is positive she
would recognize the man were she to
see him.
Mr. J. H. Lynah, the father of the
young lady, stated yesterday that he
would leave to-morrow or the next day
for Charleston to bring his daughter
back for the purpose of identifying the
negroes.
BAPTISTS HAVE GONE TO
STATE CONVENTION.
Annual Gathering of Georgia Bap
tists at Columbus.
Rev. Dr. John D. Jordan, pastor of
the First Baptist Church; Rev. Robert
Van Deventer of the Duffy Street Bap
tist Church; Rev. D. S. Edenfield of
the South Side Baptist Churcl), and
Mr. D. Kirkland left yesterday as del
egates from Savannah to the annual
state convention of the Georgia Bap
tist Church, now in session in Colum
bus.
All questions pertaining to the wel
fare of the Baptist Church in Georgia
will be discussed at this meeting of
the delegates. The two questions of
the greatest interest will be those "per
taining to missions and to the educa
tional Institutions of the state and
country. The Woman’s Missionary
Union of the state is meeting at the
same time as the convention in St.
Luke's Church.
The Savannah delegates were unable
to forecast any of the probable ac
tions of the convention on the different
matters that will come before them.
An effort is to be made, however, to
extend the missionary work next year
and to 'build up the educational and
charitable Institutions of the church.
The convention will be in session until
Friday afternoon. The Savannah pas
tors will be back in time to occupy
their pulpits on Sunday.

Idaho is one of the best watered
states in America. People are mov
ing there because hot winds and de
structive storms are unknown and be
cause its matchless climate generates
physical and mental vigor and guaran
tees good health. Idaho has rapidly
grown in popularity during the past
five years and settlers in its irrigated
valleys have met with more than or
dinary success. This fact has induced
a large influx of Eastern capital in
the state with the result that its
growth has been rapid. If you have in
mind a change for the general im

if you are seeking a climate beneficial

DEPUTY ASSORTING
THE HOGS ON OSSABAW.
Decree In Sasser—Mtckler Case Be
ing Carried Oat.
Deputy Sheriff Walter H. Fleming
is now on Ossabaw Island, busily en
gaged in assorting the hogs and cat
tle kept there and determining which
is the property of S. S. Sasser and
which that of Larissey and Mdckler.
This work is being done in accord
ance with the decree of Judge Cann.
As soon as it has been completed a
fence will be built between the lands
of the'two parties and Deputy Flem
ing will determine what per cent, of
the cost is to be borne by each of the
litigants.
The officer of the court is accom
panied by one representative of each
side. By the provisions of the decree
neither of these may carry either
weapons of offense or defense, the
court realizing that if anything oc
curred to arouse the passions of the
men, who are sworn enemies, blood
shed would certainly result. It is not
probable that Deputy Fleming will re
turn to the city until the assorting of
the animals has been completed.
CHURCH PROTESTS AGAINST
BARROOM ADJOINING IT.
Also Wauls Crap Shooting Stopped,
at Least During Service*.
The pastor and trustees of the As
bury Methodist Church, colored, at
No. 505 Gwinnett street, west, have
filed a petition with Council, which
will be read at the meeting to-night,
protesting against a saloon next to
the church and to the crap-shooting
that is alleged to go on in an alley,
also adjoining the building.
A fruit stand and bootblack stand
gre also complained of for doing bus
iness on Sundays and drawing a crowd
of people, who talk in a loud and
boisterous manner, while services are
being conducted.
The trustees, however, think whisky
is at the bottom of most of the disor
der about the church and ask Council
to refuse to grant a license at this
place next year. The city is likewise
requested to make the fruit stand and
the bootblack quit business on the
Sabbath.
It was only a Sunday or two ago
that the morning services at the
church were broken up by a crap
game that was being conducted in
the alley, it will be remembered.
Ghurch was suspended for a time and
the brethren went out to catch the
crap shooters. All but one of the gam
blers escaped, but he wds turned over
to the police and later remanded to
the state court.
WANTED MORE LIGHT.
Ed Pritchard, possessed of a desire
for more light, in a sense not as
laudable as such a statement usually
expresses, was arraigned before Re
corder Myrick in Police Court yester
day morning for the larceny of a lamp
from one Clara Wilson. Pritchard was
bound over to the City Court.
