THE MICHIGAN LUMnERMEN.
They VIII, NO Doubt, Have "A rlcns-
ant stay In savannah.

There are between $50 and 200 Michigan
lumbermen now on their way south on
a pleasure trip which follows their sixth
annual meeting held at Jackson. Mich.
Feb. 5 and C.
The party left Jackson Feb. C, on a spe-
cial train of Wagner sleeping cars. the
arrangements being so made that each
man would have a berth to himself. and
that the trip would be a pleasant one.
The party viii arrive In Savannah Sun
day morning. coming over the Central
railroad and will remain here three days
leaving to return north on Tuesday night.
They will no doubt be glad to have es-
capped the rigors OF the severe cold weather
in the north, though. unless the weather
moderates they will find the sunny south
somewhat different from what they have
anticipated
The party is large one, and 1t is ex-
pected of course that something viii be
done to entertain them while they are
mere. Just what that viii be, however.
has not yet been determined upon as no
definite programme has been outlined.
Some of Savannah's prominent lumber
men will meet the party on its arrival,
and will endeavor TO see that they are
comfortably located. There are many
points of interest in the city which they
will no doubt visit. and it is said. trip
to Tybee during their stay here Is on the
programme though this will be rather
out Of place unless the weather moderates
In their address to the members Of the
association the officers of the society
says:
Let us lay aside the cares and respon-
sibilities Of business, and forget for a
time the hard luck of "a. and 20 on this
excursion, Jolly up" and get acquainted
with our southern friends, and we will
feel more like doing business when we get
home. This Is the chance of a lifetime
to see 50 much for 50 small an amount OF
cash"
Some Of the excursionists have already
engaged rooms at the De Soto, and win
stop there during their stay in the city
Others will take their meals at the hotel
and spend their nights on the train.
Though no definite programme has yet
been outlined, something will no doubt be
done to give the visitors an ENJOYABLE
stay in Savannah. Such is Savannah 9
reputation, and such an opportunity will
not be allowed to go by The cost OF the
transportation to each of the excursion,

THE RODBING OF SMITH.
Recorder Wilson TO Take Up the
Case To-day.

Case To-day.
Recorder Wilson will probably investI-
gate the Smith robbery case this morn
ne in the police court. All the parties
wanted for the robbery are now under ar
rest, with the exception Of Isaac Levy,
commonly known as the spy" Levy
skipped town shortly after the robbery,
and the police have been unable to locate
him. He is believed by the police to be
the principal in the robbery.
There were four parties engaged in the
card game in Degnan's saloon, in which
Smith lost about $50. They were Isaac
and Isadore Levy. Henry Bostick and
Smith. Smith drank himself drunk and
left the saloon shortly before midnight
He afterward hurt himself by falling off
The steps Of the West Broad street COL
ored school. The belief OF the detectives
is that the two Levys followed Smith after
he had left the saloon and went through
him, robbing him of what money
he had left, over $50, besides
some checks. The other party
then came along. and the Levys put him
rp to robbng Smith, telling him paTticu-
larry not to take the mans watch, but
only to take his money. He found no
money on Smith and compensated himself
for his trouble by taking his watch This
he surrendered to the police after con-
Tossing his part In the affair. The young
man is respectfully connected, and his
parents are hard-working people. They
feel the disgrace Of their sons wrong
doing very keenly.
About ! O'Clock the night Of the robbery
the two Levys went back 10 the saloon
and secured sleeping quarters upstairs
They gave William Norris Mr. Degnan's
brother-in-law, who took charge Of the
bar after Degnan went to bed $6.25, which
they said they owed the bar Bostick and
Morris are believed to have had no part
IN the affair with the exception Of the
card game, IN which Smith was done out
Of some money.
James J. Degnan, in whose bar the card
playing occurred materially assisted the
police in ferreting out the culprits. Mr.
Degnan said there was no card-playing
for money as long as he remained IN the
bar. He was suspicious Of the crowd,
and warned Isaac Levy before going up
stairs that there must be no dirty work
there The robbery occurred across the
street from the saloon after the place had
been closed up.
