Desperate Attack on His Captor.

johnson. Alias Williams, Makes "A
Desperate Attack on His Captor.
Thomas Johnson. alias Tom Williams. is
in Jail for bold. bad burglary. johnson
is a very black negro. with look as evil
as is his color black. He halls from so
many places that it is not an easy matter
TO tell where his home is.
The crime which landed johnson in Jail
is the robbing OF Daniel Understands
house, in the country. beyond the Five
Mile Bend. on the Augusta road. Haber-
sham left his house early yesterday morn
ing and went into a field to pillow. About
j. o'clock he retu ned TO his house TO
rest. When some distance away he saw
the door, which he had locked when he
left in the morning wide open.
When he got insid of the yard he saw
a strange negro in the house and shout
ed TO him TO come cut of there"
The negro had a bundle OF clothes un-
der his arm. When he saw Habersham ne
started back as if to escape through the
back door, which was barred. Facing
Habersham, according to the latter's
story. the negro thrust his hand into his
hip pocket and drawn a knife. made a
lUuge at Habersham, who turned ana
ran. Johnson dropped the clothes and start
ed after him, chasing him around the
yard, which was inclosed by a stake fence.
Habersham got outside and johnson then
took TO the woods.
1t was Understands turn to chase then,
and he started in pursuit. yelling, stop
thiefr' at the top of his lungs, but john
son didn't stop. Habersham followed him
for half a mile. and then lost sight of
him in the brush.
BY that time several others had taken
a hand in the chase. and a mile further
on johnson was caught. He was tied
hand and foot and put in a wagon and
started for town. He didn't deny robbng
the house, but said he didn't break in;
that another negro got the door open. lie
told his captors his name was Tom VIII
liams, and that he lived near the two-mile
post on the Angus h road.
When Habersham got back to his house
he found a key in the door. The thief
had picked the lock. The clothes lay in
the doorway, where he had dropped them.
Habersham came into the city with
Johnson safely tied with a clothes line
hand and foot and lying in the bottom of
a wagon. He was taken to Justice Naugh-
tins Office, where a warrant was sworn
out. charging him with burglary, and ne
was committed to jail.
At the Justices Office Johnson said he
lived at No. III jefferson street.
He had pocket book, in
which was n pawn ticket for a pair Of
trousers The knife which Habersham
said he had was a big double-baded af-
fair, that looked as if it might have done
service as a brush knife. Habersham
had the stolen clothes in evidence.
The prisoner had little to say. He
would neither deny nor admit the theft
and went to jail, as If it were a familiar
occurrence His case will go before the
grand jury at its next meeting.

ALBANY's RIFLE CONTESTS.
savannah's Military Invited to Enter
Teams.


The Albany Guards, Company z of the
Fourth regiment, Georgia Volunteers, will
hold a rife contest, open to military teams
from all over the state at Albany Aug.
p and p.
The Savannah companies have been in
vited to enter teams. but so far the invi-
tations have not been acted upon.
Capt. Wooten of the Guards writes that
he is anxious for a representation from
Savannah, as the rifle teams here are
recognized as the crack teams in Georgia.
There will be two classes of contests:
Class A-For best average Workmanship
made by squad of not less than five men
representing one command.
Glass B-For best individual markham
ship. No man will be permitted to enter
the contest for individual prize in Glass b,
unless he shall be one of a squad of not
less than five men representing one COM
mand.
Prizes will be awarded as follows:
Glass A-First prize, $50 in cash; sec
ond prize, $40 in cash.
Glass B-First prize $50 in cash; second
prize, S25 in cash.
owing to anticipated difficulty in Sc
curing a sufficient supply of ball cart
ridges from the state, each command send
ing teams to enter the contest, will be
expected to furnish, say 200 rounds of
ball cartridges to be used by their teams.
This rule is in the nature of a request.
1t is not unlikely that Savannah will
send one or more teams to take part in
the contests, which will be under the
supervision of the inspector general of
rifle practice or of the inspector of rifle
practice of the Fourth regiment, provid-
ed the services of these officers can be
obtained.

A BREAK IN THE HOT SPELL.
Savannah the Coolest Place in This
Section for Day.


Savannah enjoyed the distinction yes
terday of being the coolest place in Geor-
gia, and about the coolest place in the
south.
While the temperature was up in the
9O's elsewhere in the cotton belt, it failed
to get within degrees of the 9O-mark
here. Savannahians appreciated it. Any
thing was relief from the scorching heat
that has prevailed for the last two weeks
without cessation.
The hottest places in this section were
Mllen, Albany and cambridge, each OF
which reported a temperature of "a de-
grees. Fort Gaines reported 80 degrees.
At all other stations, except Savannah. It
was 80 degrees. The average for the Sa-
Vannah district was 80 degrees
The hottest section of the south was
Texas. The Galveston district reported
an average temperature for twenty-six
stations of 9S degrees.
The indications sent out by the weather
bureau at midnight were for thunder
showers to-day, with slight changes in
temperature.
