A DESPERATE BURGLAR

Robert Lloyd res TO Murder the
Officers Who Captured Him-
The house of James Armstrong, colored
pilot, was burglarized of a quantity Of cloth
ing and $50 in cash last Wednesday night
The case was placed in the hands Of Justice
McDermott, who employed Detective Weth-
erhorn to hunt up the burglars.
Constable Jones (c1lored) assisted the de-
tective, and they succeeded in tracing the
burglary to a negro named Robert Lloyd
through the pawnIng Of some of the stolen
goods by him.
The two officers started out on a still hunt
for Floyd, and they found him in Yama-
craw. The burglar broke and ran as soon
as be saw Detective Wetherhorn and Con-
stable Jones heading for him. The con-
stable was the first to reach Floyd, who at
once drew dirk aud attempted TO carve
his captor. Constable Jones knocked
him down with his pistol, but the fellow
jumped up almost Immediately and tried to
stab Detective Wetherhorn
The two officers were compelled to use
their pistols pretty freely on Lloyd's head
before securing submission and the dirk.
Justice McDermott committed the burglar
TO jail, and while on his way there on a
Coast Line car the negro again attempted
to escape by jumping off. Cons able Jones
was too quick for him and as Lloyd's feet
struck the ground he was sent sprawling by
a well-directed blow on the head with q
revolver.
Lloyd confessed to the burglary and said
he had q companion, who has since gone to
Beaufort. He gave the name Of his pal and
the Officers expect to have him in few

One Colorsd Boy Sh lots Another and
Escapes.
Walter Bunyard was shot and seriously
wounded by Joe Simmons yesterday after
noon about $3.50 o'clock, on Jefferson street,
near Congress, in front of the Little De
Soto barroom. The ball passed through
Bunyard's left side and entered his stomach
Simmons escaped.
The Little DeSoto barroom is a saloon
operated by colored men, and is quite re-
sort for colored youths. Yesterday after
noon Bunyard and Simmons became in
volved in a quarrel over a game of some
sort, and were about to settle it with
fist, cuff, when friends of both parties sep
arated them and presumably the two boys
made up, but Simmons was heard to say
that he proposed to get even with Buuyard.
About half an hour afterward Buny ard
was sent out on message by colored
tailor named Gaillaird. Simmons arose
from his seat aud said he guessed he would
take stroll. Bunyard was little in adj
vance OF him, but no one had any idea there
was going to be sany trouble, as the two
boys seemed to have become friendly after
the difficulty. But Simmons had murder
in his heart when he decided on the stroll.
because as soon as he reached the sidewalk
he hurried in front of Bunyard, and wi b
an ath pulled a revolver from his hip
pocket and fred directly at his enemy IS
heart.
Bunyard jumped as the pistol was fred
and that is all that saved him from instant
death. The wounded boy staggered back
into the saloon, and several spectators tried
TO capture Simmons, but the would-be muir
derer was too heet-footed for his pursuers
and distanced them easily. He ran through
YRTscraw in the direction of the canal.
Bunyard was taken to a physician and
thence TO his home, on Charlton street lane.
The bullet had gone too far in his body to
be extracted and the physician dressed the
wound from the outside
The ball in Bunyard's stomach is a 49,
callber aud may bring about fatal result.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw the wounded
boy last night and he seemed to be suffer- 9
considerable pain. He complained That he
felt himself bleeding Internally, and had a
fever. The police have been furnished q

A Matter Of Information.

In reply to the question by a good many
friends and customers as to why we do not
have any discount sales? we will state
that as we run a regular strictly one-price
system, with each and every article marked
in plain figures, we cannot at the beginning
OF a season put any fancy prices on our
goods, neither can we charge one customer
who may be an easy one, or not judge Of
goods,) more than another. We have but
one low popular live and let live price.
which by comparison, has and will be found
cheaper than these apparent discount
prices. We only make reductions on our
stock once a season, before inventory. which
we take twice year. When we do this we
do not offer any fabulous per cent. discount,
as we do not put same on, and as we have
expenses to pay in order to run our busi~
ness, We would be foolish to advertise sell
ing goods at cost or at large discounts, as
the Savannah public is 90 wise to believe
we are doing business for fun or glory. All
We ask is an examination of our stock and
prices which will speak for themselves.
Very respectfully,
I'D. APPEL & SoHAUL.
