NO MONEY AND NOWHERE TO GO.

ID. t. LOvett Turned Loose in savan-
nah $50 Miles From His Home.
B. T. Lovett of cambridge found HIM
self wanderer on the streets yesterday
without cent in his pocket and with no
place to look to for food or shelter.
He was released from jail on a telegram
from United States Commissioner s. A.
Roddenbury, which stated that his bond in
the case against him, charging him with
working in an Illicit distillery had been
fixed and there was no reason for holdine
him longer.
Lovett was brought from Bainbridge be-
fore Commissioner Roddenbury, he states,
one day last week on the charge of work.
ing in still. The commissioner decided
to hold him for trial and asked if he
could give bail. Bovett stated he thought
he could find a bondsman at Cambridge
and as he was to be put in jail until the
bond was given, he asked to be held at
the Thomasville Jail. He states, however,
that the commissioner told him that the
government did not want to pay so many
jail bills, and that he would have TO senG
him up to Chatham county to be placed in
Jail here.
Lovett was brought to Savannah from
Townsville last Friday by Deputy Mar
shall Elijah Willis and put in jail here al
though he states that If he had been held
at Townsville a day or two he could have
fixed the bond The deputy receives his
regular mileage for bringing the prisoner
from Thomasville, a distance of over 200
miles, the cost of which to the government
will be a good many times as much, per-
haps, as it would have been to have held
Lovett at the Thomas county Jail until he
gave bond. Had he been held there he
could very easily have made his way back
to cambridge, but as it is he finds himself
in Savannah about $50 miles from his home
and without a cent in his pocket His bond,
which was only 500, was signed by L. F.
Burkett of cambridge.
Lovett tells rather a queer story. He
said his business was hauling logs, and he
has been engaged in it for sometime. He
says he worked in a still that his father
was running about four years ago, but has
had nothing to do with it since that time.
He said his father when he got old and
could do little work, needed whisky, but
could get no money with which to buy it..
So he set up little still to make it for his
own use, and once or twice when he was
around home his father asked him to help
him make the liquor. That is all he says
he has ever had to do with it, He did not
know what he would do last night, but
Deputy Marshal Dayton telegraphed to
cambridge for him to see If he could get
the money from there to pay his railroad
fare back to his home

SAVANNAH RIDERS MAY GO.
An Invitation to Attend the jack
sOnViIIe Meet Next Week.


A number of Savannah's wheelmen will
take in the Jacksonville meet July 4. A
number of Jacksonville riders have com
peted at various times in the Savannah
races and won good prizes.
Adams. who was favorite
here. and who has been win
ming right along for the last year
in all the races he has entered. Menanger,
Gerowe and others who rode in the meets
here contributed much TO the interest of
events. There are no Savannah riders in
training now and it is doubtful If Savan-
nah could send a winning rider to Jack
sonville, still the wheelmen here owe the
Jacksonville wheelmen courtesy to enter
at least one or two men next week If it is
possible to do so.
Secretary Adams of the Jacksonville
club writes that the prizes are good and
so far Jacksonville has practically no rid
ers to defend them. The races will be I'M
der L. A. W rules. Young Adams, who
won the southern championship at Char
lotte, n. c., in May, Will be present and
participate in the mile 1tnraesd and in the
attempt to break the tIack records.
1t is expected that orhsfsk the attractions
of the meet i'll be a me * race between
w. J. Huffstetler Orlands'7 crack rider,
and Mr.. Adams. The, friendt Of Mr.. HUFF
stetler issued a challenge Mr.. Adams
some weeks ago and IL iw9s accepted.
Since then however, the driends of Mr..
Adams who have the. matter in charge
have not been able to ascertain If Mr..
Huffstetler will be present or not. If he
comes to time" the race probably will
be run July ., at p. m. the prize being a
$50 diamond ring or pin. The distance will
be one, two, three. four or five miles, as
the principals may decide.
Special rates and advantages will be Of
fered the Savannah wheelmen who attend
the meet. Special hotel rates of s. have
been secured and the committee promises

TO VOTE IN EACH DISTRICT.
There VIII he Eight Polling Places
for the Fence or No Fence Election

There VIII he Eight Polling Places
for the Fence or No Fence Election
The registrars did not call yesterday at
the office of Tax Collector J. J. MCGOWAN
for the voters books and disqualified lists
from which they are to make the lists for
the use of the managers of the election
for fence or no fence to be used at the
polls in each of the mill
tia districts. 1t is probable, however, that
they will begin their work to-day as the
election takes place Wednesday of next
week and the time is very short.
Tax Collector McGowan has the lists
ready whenever they are called for. Moth
ing has been done as yet as to determining
who is the third registrar, Mr.. John d.
Charlton, recently appointed, or Mr.. r. j.
Wade, who states that he has not resigned.
This will likely be determined when the
registrars take hold of the books.
The managers for the election at the
different precincts have not yet been ap-
pointed, but 1t is likely that the appoint
merts win be made within a day or two.
This matter was left by resolution of the
board Of county commissioners to Chair
man Dale and Commissioners Kehoe and
Chaplin. They will likely make the ap-
pointments the latter part of this week,
The polling places for this election will
be in each of the militia districts, of
which there are eight in Chatham coun-
ty. They will probably be located at the
usual places selected for elections which
are held in the districts.
The law on this subject states that the
election is to be held at the court ground
in each militia district and under the same
rules and regulations as provided for men,
bers of the general assembly, and after

places in said county: Provided, that no

THEY WANT a NEW TRIAL.
The johnson Faction to Take Up the
knights of Archery Case.


A motion for new trial was filed in the
city court yesterday by the plaintiff,
James II. Johnson, in the case Of the
Grand United order of the Knights OF
Archery. against Ebert Anderson and
James Dorsey, which was decided few
days ago in favor of the defendants, they
being awarded the paraphernalia and rit-
uals of the order. The action was brought
by the plaintiff and his faction under a
bail in trover warrant. The motion for
new trial was filed by Mr.. w. r, Leaken,
representing the plaintiffs.
An order was taken by the solicitor gen.
eral dismssing the motion for new trial in
the case of the state against VIM. Allen
Mikell who was convicted of keeping a
policy lottery and sentenced to pay a fine
of $500 and costs or serve six months in
Jail. The motion was dismissed on ac-
count of the fact that the attorney for the
defendant who made the motion did NOT
file his brief Of evidence within the time
required by law.
In the case of w. w. Aimar against T.
II. Ryan and T. II. Mcmillan, suit on ac-
counts a nonsuit was granted as to the

ment was rendered in the plaintiffs favor

As in most cases Of death by lightning.
the action Of the electric fluid was pecu-
liar and unexpiainable. The woman was
a huckster and peddled berries and small
fruits through the city. She had been OUT
at the swamp picking blackberries when
the thunderstorm came up, and went TO
the house OF Clara Lawrence on the Bee
road, about 300 yards east Of the Waters
road, for protection from the rain. She
was sitting in the kitchen with the Law
renee woman and two children when the
fash came, and was instantly killed. She
did not even move from her chair.
The Lawrence woman was holding =

burn IN the side, while the child was not
hurt in the least. The other child was
knocked down, but was not injured.

The report of the occurrence reached the
city in a very short time and Coroner
Goette went out TO make an investigation.
He found the facts to be as stated. There
were no marks on the woman's face, and
the clothing was not burned or scorched
Mr.. Goette did not examine the body.
Turner Johnson. son of the dead wo-
man, added a new feature to the case by
declaring that his mothers body had been
robbed of 1910, which she had when she
wer1 out IN the morning, he said. The
woRan was known to be thrifty and hard
viking, and her sons statements were
created by those who knew her. Turner
claimed THAI the people at whose house
his mother was killed went through her
pockets before the arrival of witnesses.
There was no money to be found when he
arrived. Coroner Goette found the pocket

not think that this was the work of the

to the effect that death was caused by
