TEAMS TIED IN A
BRILLIANT GAME
OVER 3,000 SAW CONTEST.
JACKSONVILLE DEVELOPED GREAT
STRENGTH FINALLY.
Game YVa* Most Spectacular Ever
Seen Here, and NVn* Keinarkahlj
Free from Any Objectionable Tac
tic?.—Visitors* Heavy Baekfleld
Crashed Into Savannah'* Line
IVilli Terrific Momentum—Cope
Satisfied YVith Showing Made.
With all the fire and fury of Savan
nah at its best, combined with better
individual and team work, the strength
and courage of the magnificent foot
ball eleven which Jacksonville brought
here yesterday evened matters up and
at the end of the game the score stood
at the unsatisfactory figures of 5 to 5.
It was a magnificent game, played
■wholly on its merits and abounding in
sensational prays. To the spectator it
was perhaps, the finest football spec
tacle that has ever been presented In
the South. I*t was a game in which
both sides exhibited offensive strength
.vastly superior to defensive.
In this is explained the apparent
ease with which each team advanced
the ball, and it is remarkable that
both sides did not score oftener. With
both teams playing along practically
the same lines on the offensive —de-
pending on tricks and sharp runs out
side of tackle, the individual work of
some of the most famous football
players in the South, was at all times
In plain view of the spectators.
Game Remarkably Fast.
Any one who pretends to tell the
complete and accurate story of the
battle hs it was fought yard by yard
will not have faith put into his nar
rative by eyewitnesses. The motion
was so swift that nothing but photo
raphy could record its detail with pre
cision. Deception of the eye was more
generally resorted to for profit than
the measuring of strength.
The varying sensations of elation
and depression in that vast throng
during the first te.< minutes of play
but keyed the tension of excitement to
the highest point. From the kick off
on through the dragging minutes when
the Blue and White rolled back the
Jay attack, or broke through the sav
age line, every play made it more ap
parent that the Orange and Black had
developed wonderful strength, and that
.victory was not to be had for the ask
ing. Placing little confidence in the
published line up it was expected that
Jacksonville would show up with valu
able material garnered from a distance.
But it was not expected that such a
powerful engine of offense could be
thrown together so quickly.
Heavy Men’s Strength Told.
The large amount of money which
was wagered in small portions Indi
cated when totalled up just tow confi
dent the visitors were of victory.
Played off their feet In the first half,
they came back as the third wave on
the seashore piles un after two less
eager breakers have rolled in. On their
heavy secondary battery they depend
ed, and when massed and sent crash
ing through the light Blue and White
it was beyond human strength to stop
it after getting well in motion. Had
Jacksonville’s line been generally as
strong as the back field, Savannah
would have been defeated.
But there was no chance to seize ad
vantage from Savannah’s blundering.
Strength and endurance might fall at
moments, but here was the football
machine in a high state of efficiency.
Charged with extra steam when extra
effort was needed, vet mobile as an
auto in its adjustment to the shifting
demands of the instant. Jacksonville
tried to elude this thinking mechan
ism. but whenever her attack varied
there were Blue and White tacklere to
meet it, headlong projectiles with
books of steel which bored through in
terference as through paper, and di
vined painfully drilled strategems as
by a sixth football sense.
Savannah Fighting Valiantly.
But outweighing this generalship in
ultimate results was the weight of the
Orange and Black. Crushed and bleed
ing, the light blue and white was fight
ing valiantly at the end of the second
half to stem the remorseless line-shat
tering charges of the visitors as yard
after yard of territory was cut from
Savannah's hope of keeping the results
of the first half unchanged. With the
ball on Savannah's ten-yard line, and
a fumble seemingly the only hope to
prevent a score, the period of play
terminated before the ball was snapped
on a first down.
So evenly matched were the teams
that no Jacksonville enthusiast will
agree that Savannah excelled In Indi
vidual brilliancy. Neither will loyal
Savannahians yield the palm to Jack
sonville. A comparison of the teams,
man for man, would not meet with
■the approval of one man out of ten
in either city. Jacksonville profited
most In the favors tot football fortune.
But they also were more consistent
In ground gaining. Yancy’s touchdown
Was made and allowed under protest,
Referee Btttler inadvertently being the
best Interference the halfback had In
eluding tackle. But this Is one of the
fortunes of the game, and the score
might hhve been made anyway.
Record Breaking Crowd.
As early as 2 o'clock In the afternoon
one was reminded of Derby Day in the
vicinity of some great race track by
the crowds which poured through Dol
ton street to the scene of the approach
ing conn let.
The paid admissions, footing up
something like 3,000 persons did not
represent all who witnessed the game.
In the assembling of the crowd and
the prevailing deep interest, little ef
fort was made to keep hundreds of
boys from scaling the fences and get
ting Into the park, and It is estimated
that between 3.R00 and 4,000 people ac
tually witnessed the game.
When the sale of reserved seats at
JsreaPs pool room was discontinued at
noon 1,437 seats had been reserved, and
the scene presented at the bo* office
at the grounds Indicated that the sale
was but a small proportion of what
K would finally'amount to.

BULLET FROM RIFLE
MAY CAUSE BOY’S DEATH.
Young John Bannon Accidentally
Wounded by Younger Brother.
Suffering from a rifle wound acci
dentally inflicted by a young brother,
John Bannon, aged 11 years, of No. 20
Forty-first street, east, is at the Sa
vannah Hospital in a dangerous con
dition.
The bullet from a 22-calibre rifle en
tered the right side and passed through
the abdomen, coming out at the back.
The bullet passed through the left kid
ney, tearing a piece of it away, and
Dr. B. P. Oliveros, the attending phy
sician. found it necessary to operate.
The accident occurred Christmas
morning a few minutes after the two
young sons of Mr. John J. Bannon
had jumped from their beds to exam
ine the contents of the stockings they
had hung up for Santa Claus to fill.
John, a bright little fellow employed
In the office of Haines & Hunter, in
the Germania Bank building, had ex
amined his presents and was dressing.
His little 'brother had, among other
things, received a modern 22-calibre
rifle and was anxious to see if the
cartridges would fit. John was lean
ing over lacing his shoes when the
younger boy attempted to put a cart
ridge into the rifle. The accidental
discharge of the weapon occurred at
this time, and John fell to the floor
with a scream.
Dr. Oliveros was hastily summoned
and the wound was temporarily dress
ed. Later it was deemed advisable to
move the little sufferer to the hospi
tal for an operation. He stood It well,
and last night the attending physician
entertained strong hopes for his recov
ery, although he is by no means out
of danger.
HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
GOES THE PRISONER.
Old Negro Wan Released on Order
from Jndge Speer.
Perhaps one of the most highly ap
preciated Christmas gifts received in
Savannah was that which came to
Robert Bell, an old negro prisoner
serving sentence In the Chatham coun
ty *ail for illicit distilling.
The gift was an order from Judge
Emory Speer authorizing the release
of the old man and returning him to
his family. The sentence is suspended
ponding the good behavior of the ne
gro. and provided he does not again
attempt to make liquor without the
consent of the government, and with
out paying 'his fax. The policy of sus
pending sentence pending good beha
vior has been followed by Judge Speer
for years and it has been found to
bring far better results than that of
compelling the men to serve out their
entire sentence.
LEADING.LADY FAINTED
WHEN PISTOL FIRED.
An Incident at Yesterdny'a Matinee
Not on the Bills.
Few of those who attended the
matinee at the theater yesterday
knew that Miss Alice Bolton, who
took the part of Mona Desmond, a
false friend, in the presentation of
“A Little Mother” by the Arnold
Stock Company really swooned when
she was fired on by the villain in the
play.
Miss Bolton has been indisposed for
several days, and when she was carried
behind the scenes yesterday It was
sometime before she recovered con
sciousness. Luckily she had no more
lines in the play. She was able to
appear with the company last night in
the presentation of "A Daughter of
Satan.”
JURY COMMISSION
STILL WORKING HARD.
There was no session yesterday of
the jury commission, the Christmas
holiday being the first week day in
several weeks that a meeting has not
been held.
The practice of working on the lists
for at least three hours each day has
had a tendency to hurry up the work,
though It is not yet complete. As
stated heretofore In the Morning News
there will be a big increase this year
In the lists and the work is no light
one. It is Impossible to say just how
much more time will be required to
complete the work, but It Is certain
to require at least 'another week.
PRESENTED WITH ~~
DIAMOND CHARM.
The employes of the Savannah l T nion
Station Company yesterday presented
Mr. J. B. Blanton, station master,
with a handsome diamond studded
watch charm. The presentation took
place In Mr. Blanton’s office, and the
speech of presentation was made by
Mr. S. E. Kraft, assistant to Mr.
Blanton. The gift was unexpected on
the part of the genial station master,
but he responded with an appropriate
address of thanks. He is quite popu
lar with all the employes and ap
preciates the remembrance very much.
PROFESSOR BRAttDT VERY LOW.
Prof. Carl L. Brandt, who has been
ill for some time, was reported to be
slowly sinking last night. He Is at
his apartments at the Telfair Academy,
and grave fears are entertained for his
recovery by the members of his fam
ily.

Henry McClendon, a negro, was
stabbed twice In the face by Alex.

early last night Jones was arrested
and charged with assault with Intent

attack was the result of a quarrel
over a woman.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. DECEMBER 27. 1904.
IN FANCY DRESS
MAN WAS KILLED
ANOTHER BADLY WOUNDED.
FATAL SHOOTING BY* UNKNOWN
MAN IN WOODSVILLE.
Two Were Shot, One Being Killed
Almost Instantly and the Other
Probably Fatally Wuunded—Two
Singing Negroes Met Three Other,
and How Followed—Wonnded
Mun Knocked Assailant Down,
but YVus Attacked by Two Others,
Dresesd in a fancy costume, which
he had put on to celebrate Christmas,
Andrew Price, a negro, was shot
through the stomach and almost in
stantly killed, and Charles Britton, an
other negro, was shot through the left
side and probably fatally wounded, by
an unknown negro man In Woodsville,
outside tbe city limits, at an early hour
last night.
The superintendent of police and De
tectives Wall, Murphy and Davis went
ter the scene immediately after the
homicide, but no clue as to the identity
of the man who did the shooting could
be found. Crowds of negroes, both
men and women, were drunk in
Woodsville and excitement was run
ning high.
It was feared for a time that more
serious trouble might follow, but the
officers succeeded in quieting the
crowd. The negroes, however, would
give little information about the shoot
ing. The only story of the affair was
given by Britton, the wounded negro.
Shot in 111. Arms.
Britton and Price were going down
Fair street together to meet the West
Savannah car. as Britton’s wife was
expected. The men had been drink
ing and were walking arm in arm.
Price was dressed in a ftincy costume
In celebration of Christmas, and both
were singing gaily.
Just before the two men reached the
Augusta road, three other negro men
w’ere met. One of the three men they
met had some remarks to make about
the singing. Words were exchanged,
and one of the three men drew his pis
tol and fired. Price was in Britton's
arms, when he was shot, and Britton
protested, begging the man not to shoot
again.
Fought After Being Shot.
Regardless of the protests, the man,
it is alleged, fired again, the second
bullet striking Britton. He then drop
ped. Price and attacked his assailant,
knocking him down at a single blow,
he claimed. The remaining two of the
unknown negroes then attacked Brit
ton, who is a very powerful man. He
was held, while the man who did the
shooting made his escape.
The other two then let Britton go
and ran. Persons in the neighborhood,
who had heard the shots, meanwhile
telephoned the police and officers rush
ed to the scene. The neighborhood
was searched, but the three unknown
men could not be located. Dr. George
Norton was called to attend Britton.
Price had died a few seconds after he
was shot. Britton is verx badly
wounded and may die.
CREATEDTROUGH HOUSE
IN HIS OWN RESIDENCE.
Finally Wound Up With rharxr of
Scrion# Nature AsalnM Him.
After badly beating his wife, who In
turn took revenge on another woman,
Jim Battle went to his home in Ogle
thorpe lane, between Habersham and
Price streets yesterday afternoon and
proceeded to put his hitherto peaceful
-domicile on the blink.
After smashing a few chairs and
some other furniture he finally engag
ed in target practice with a 38 cali
bre Smith & Wesson revolver. He
soon shot all the breakable things
around the room to pieces, and threat
ened to shoot anyone who came in his
path. He was arrested by Patrolman
Deignan, and and a charge of assault
with intent to murder Caro Hender
son, who said he fired at her. was
preferred against him. The Battle
woman took revenge on Diana Ran
dolph, and handed her several stiff
arm jolts before she was finally tak
en in tow by the officer.

PASSING OF CHRISTMAS
BRINGS REST TO WEARY.
Employes of Railroad and Express
Companies Breathe Easier.
Now that Christmas has come and
gone the employes of the railroad and
express companies, as well as the post
office, are feeling elated. The season
is a time of great trial to them all.
At the Union Station was experienc
ed, perhaps, the greatest rush, there
being so much travel out of the city
at this time. The people all left about
the same time and the rush at the
ticket office was only equalled by the
crush at the iron gates leading to the
waiting trains. All employes were
constantly on the jump until the last
train left Christmas day. Nothing like
a rush attends the returning.
With the express company the rush
is practically over the day following
Christmas, though there are many de
layed packages to be forwarded and
delivered. The enormous amount of
gifts sent by express entails much
work upon the employes even when
extra help is given them. All in the
office and out are in a nerve wrecking
race to keep the packages from piling
up. When the final period of rush is
over each employe is glad and will
ing to vote for the abolishment of the
holiday.
The work in connection with railways
and express companies is pretty stren
uous in times of comparative peace,
but when the war of the holidays is
on there is no word sufficient to de
scribe the degree of strenuosity that
prevails.
RECORDER HELD LONG
SESSION OF COURT.
Eighty-Three Cases YVere Disposed
of iu Police Court.
Police Court was grinding three
hours yesterday morning disposing of
the usual Christmas drunk and disor
derly cases, with a few cases to be
finally tried in the Superior or City
Court.
The most serious charge preferred
was assault with intent to murder
against a negro, who fired a pistol at
another* negro, just grazing his breast.
Disposing of the Christmas docket,
and also an extra Sunday docket, the
session was the shortest held here in
years on a similar occasion. If all of
the fines imposed were to be paid, in
stead of some working out their fines,
the net amount to the city would be
1343.
ON TWO SERIOUS CHARGES.
Joseph Gordon, colored, was re
manded to the City Court by the Re
corder yesterday morning on two
charges. He was arrested Saturday
night by Patrolman Cronin and when
searched a revolver was found in his
pocket. Gordon was arrested for the
larceny of a bolt of cloth from Wil
liam Marcus.
OFFICER SHOTNEGRO
WHO RESISTED ARREST.
Palromnn Laird Had Serious Dif
ficulty With Prisoner.
While resisting arrest and pointing
a pistol at the officer, Frank Taylor,
a negro, was shot by Patrolman Laird
yesterday afternoon. The bullet entered
the calf of the left leg and inflicted a
painful but not dangerous wound.
After being shot Taylor ran for some
distance, buit was finally caught by
Patrolmen Laird and Dooley. Officer
Dooley got the drop on the negro and
made him hand over his pistol. The
shooting took place near the Tybee
depot. Taylor was firing his pistol
In the street when Patrolman Laird
went to arrest him.
CITY COURT SCARED
WOMAN SHOPLIFTER.
Rebecca Williams, the negro woman
who was arrested Saturday night by
Special Officer Frank Quinly for the
theft of several small toys in Kirby's
store on Broughton street, was given
a hearing before the Recorder yester
day morning and remanded to the City
Court.
The woman seemed as much affected
when told she would be tried in the
City Court for larceny as though she
had just been convicted of murder and
sentenced to hang. So loud was her
wailing that she had to be carried'
back to the lockup so that court could
proceed without interruption.
NEEDLESS EXCITEMENT
CAUSED MAN’S ARREST.
Because he pretended he was shot
and created a lot of excitement on
Jones street, east, early yesterday
morning, Arthur Anderson, a negro,
was arrested by Mounted Patrolman
Cronin.
The negro had attempted to enter
the house In the rear of No. 219 Jones
street, east, claiming at the time that
he was shot and cut. A telephone
message was sent to police headquart
ers nd Patrolman Cronin was sent to
investigate.
FOUGHT r HIS WIFE
WHO CARRIED GIFT.
Kmma Hurley, a negro woman, was
badly beaten and cut about the
hands by her husband, George Hurley,
early last night on Oglethorpe avenue,
east. The two had separated some
time ago, but last night the wife
went to her husband’s house to carry
a Christmas present that had been
sent to her for him.
PATROLMAN USKD HIS CLUB.
Freddie Smith, who was arrested
Saturday night for assault with in
tent to murder Eddie Jones by firing
on him with a pistol, was turned over
to the Superior Court yesterday morn
ing when given a preliminary hearing
before the Recorder. Smith and Jones
were good friends. It seems. Witnesses
testified that Smith pulled his pistol
and fired without provocation. The
bullet struck Jones' suspender buckle
and grazed off. Smith snapped his
empty pistol on Patrolman Laird, who
was forced to use his club. The ne
gro was knocked down by the officer.

FORTUNE BURNED
IN FIREWORKS
$65,000 WAS SPENT HERE.
ABOUT $2.1.000 REPRESENTS COUN
TRY* PIRCHASE.
Remaining SIO,OOO Is What Savan
nuliian* Expended In Fireworks
for C'Kristmas Holidays—Enough
Money Went Up In Smoke to Sup
port Over n Hundred Families ol
Three Each for a Y’eer—Displays
of Recent Year* More General bnt
Not as Elaborate as Formerly.
Fireworks valued approximately at
$65,000 were sold in Savannah this
Christmas.
Of that amount the smoke that went
up in the city represented $40,000, the
remaining $25,000 worth of fireworks
being shipped to adjacent towns.
Although the figures are staggering
they are vouched for by probably the
largest wholesale dealer in the city.
It means that a sum sufficient to sup
port over one hundred families of three
each, for a whole year was burned in
the celebration of Christmas 1904, in
Savannah and the immediate vicinity.
Roman candles, sky rockets, fire
crackers, and torpedo canes and their
ammunition were exchanged by the
merchants for this mammoth sum, al
though the amount of money spent
for fire ci’ackers in the city was small
er than usual. This was due to the
presence of the torpedo stick, a much
more efficient noise producer.
Torpedo Cane Was Popnlar.
■While the torpedo cane, and with
it the boxes of dynamite caps, ruled
a strong favorite in the city more
than the usual quantity of Romar
candles and sky-rockets were sold. As
many cannon crackers were sold as
last year, but most of them were ship
ped into the country. The torpedo
sticks took the place of-these crack
ers in the city to a very large extent.
Despite the fact that each year the
amount of fireworks sold in the city
has lAcreased materially the displays
within the last two or three years have
not been as spectacular as they were
in the days when each square had its
.own bonfire and display of fireworks,
and when the Park Extension was
the scene of dozens of bonfires where
several thousand dollars worth of fire
works went ud in smoke and flame
annually.
Display Less Elaborate.
Although more fireworks are explod
ed now, those who burn their money
in this fashion do not gather in the
squares, but have their own exhibi
tions in front of their own homes. For
this reason the display is more gen
eral and less elaborate.
Then. too. a great many Roman can
dles and sky-rockets are shot in the
streets and lanes of Yamacraw, the
Fort and Frogtown that few people
outside of the residents of these sec
tions see. Many of these are fired by
negroes in the day time in battles, or
at telegraph poles and street signs.
This was quite noticeable to the police
during the fast three days.
But the fact remains that money
enough was expended in Savannah for
fireworks this year to erect a hand
some home for the indigent of the city.
And, too, the indigent themselves as
sisted in the destruction.
SHOT OUT GLASSES TO
CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS.
Going to arrest Fannie Glover early
last night, Patrolmen Collins and Un
gar found every window glass in the
house shot out.
The woman told the officers the
glasses had been shot out during the
Christmas celebration. She was want
ed on the charge of striking Diamond
Randolph, another negro woman, with
a stick. The husband alleged to have
celebrated Christmas so strenuously
was not at home when the officers call
ed. Twenty-one shots were counted
In the house.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CHRISTMAS TREE
Thirty bright children of the Chris
tian Science Sunday-school enjoyed a
Christmas tree at 5 o’clock yesterday
afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. Tcasdale, No. 18 Oglethorpe ave
nue, east. The teachers were all pres
ent, as well s relatives of the little
ones. One especial feature of the cele
bration was a magic lantern show,
which was greatly enjoyed. Songs of
Christmas were sung, after which came
the gift-giving. Each child was pleas
antly remembered.
POOR WHISKEY IN
“OLD JOE” BOTTLES.
Thl* la What Distillers Charge in
Federal Suit Against Phoebns Man.
Judge Edmund Waddill of the
United States Circuit Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia, yester
day Issued an order temporarily re
straining Nicholas Leonard, of Phoe
bus, Va., from making use of the
name "Old Joe Whiskey’’ and from
using said words as part of a label
or brand for liquor sold by him. The
order also cites Leonard to appear in

cause why said injunction should not
be made permanent.
Process was issued by Clerk Bow

James E. West to serve upon Leonard
immediately after receipt of Judge
Waddlll’s order.
The order was issued upon petition
of Aaron Bluthenthal and M. L.

Atlanta, Oa., who allege that Leonard
has wilfully Infringed upon their
trade-mark. The complainants set
forth that their largest selling brand
of “B. & B,” as the concern Is fa

of which have already been sold this
year. They claim that Leonard hns
been refilling the original "Old Joe”
bottles with Inferior whiskey and sell
log it as genuine. The complainants
also claim that the defendants violat

of an inferior whiskey he called "Old
Joe,” that he succeeded in getting
empty "Old Joe" bottles, which he

Dowell McPherson, colored, was
shot In the leg by Patrolman Jim
Brown in Yamacraw early yesterday
morning. The officer went to arrest
McPherson, but the negro made a
sprint for liberty. Brown called to
him to halt, and when he continued
running the uniformed man took
careful aim and shot the man in the
leg.
Last night additional charges of the
larceny of S3O from Henry Elkins
were prefererd against the accused.
McPherson Is believed to be one of
the gang of car breakers who have
done several jobs in the yards of the
railroads recently. Special Agent G.
S. Godbold was at the station house
yesterday to see if he could identify
McPherson as the man he came upon
suddenly in the Coast Line yards sev
eral nighSt Mr. Godbold was
down in the yard and saw the negro
near the door of a car. He at first
thought It was the car inspector, and
called him by name, and when no an
swer came he struck a match. He
would not say yesterday whether Mc-
Pherson was the man. The accused
has an unsavory reputation in police
circles and has “done time.”
PONY IN PARLOR WAS
WHAT SMALL BOY FOUND.
Santa Claus brought Wallace Sip
ple, the 10-year-son of Mr. Charles H.
Sipple, a little Shetland pony. The
pony was found in the parlor yester
day morning along with the other gifts.
Master Wallace had hung up his stock
ing, but the ipony was a little too large
for that. The stocking was tied around
the pony’s neck when it was found.
HOW THE OFFICER FELT.
One who serves in an official capaci
ty often has to answer some ques
tions which appear more or less fool
ish. One of the patrolmen on duty in
the business district Christmas Eve
along a down-town street, was twtrl-
Ihg his 'hilly idly to and fro when
approached by a young man who real
ly looked intelligent at times.
"Anything doing?” queried the young
man.
The blue-coated minion of the law re
garded his interrogator for some mo
ments half in doubt as to the sin
cerity of the question. Then as sev
eral torpedoes exploded with fearful
force, he leaned over and yelled in the
young man’s ar:
"Oh, , no; everything’s dead
quiet.”
FIREMEN FARED WELL.
The men at the several fire stations
fared well, as usual, Christmas and
yesterday and were well provided for
by their neighbors. “Cap” Connelly
at Hose Company No. 1 wishes to re
turn thanks for the nice things neigh
bors sent him and his men.
All of the firemen also wish to
thank Mr. Louis Garfunkel for the
excellent cakes he sent to all of the
fire stations. The fire laddies are nev
er forgotten by Mr. Garfunkel and
with one accord they wish him a
happy new year.
POLICE KEPT BCSY.
For several hours early last night
the police were kept busy and there
will have to be a long session of Po
lice Court this morning to clear the
docket. There were forty-six arrests
made before 11 o’clock. Most of the
eases were for drunkenness or for dis
orderly conduct growing out of the use
of whisky. There were a number of
fights, but most of the cases were un
important.
Gave Enjoyable Dinner.
The employes of the firm of Dougan
& Sheftall were entertained by Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel Sheftall at dinner
yesterday. The guests were welcomed
by Mr. Sheftall in a speech, in which
he expressed his satisfaction of hav
ing his employes with him at this
season. Messrs. W. H. Lanier and
John C. F. Rendant responded to the
words of welcome. Those present were:
Mr. and Mrs. John C. F. Rendant,
Miss Ruth Rendant, Mr. W. H. La
nier, Mr. B. C. Harris, Mr. George
Suhr. Mr. C. O. Wolf, Mr. Harry Sim
mons and Mr. Henry Wiebers.

of Katie Adkins and stealing all of her
Christmas presents, Mamie Larkin, a
negro woman, was arrested by Patrol
man Hicks last night. The woman will
be given a hearing before the Recorder
this morning.
FALSE FIRE ALARM.
A false alarm was turned In from
Box 14, at Abercorn and Broughton
streets, early last night. Fireworks
led to the belief that the house on
the corner was in flames. Of course,
the firemen were anything but pleased!
SHOT IN THE FOOT.
George Williams was shot In the foot
by Arthur Johnson In the Brunswick
saloon last night. The police made an
Investigation and found the shooting
was accidental. No arrest was made.
