The matter Of the violation Of the ordi-

is carried on BIZ Air. Buttimer is con-
slant menace TO the city's HEALTH ] shall

meeting. and viii snow just whs state Of
affairs exists
MI Brown called AT the Morning News
Office last night in company sitn Mr.
Buttimer. He confirmed the reT .orts pre-
vlousiy given OF the two encou nters be-
tween him and DR.. Fallgant. lie said
that when Dr. Falligant came TO his store
about o'clock ne was sitting ba tx in the
roar. having just come IN unkno "n TO his
brother.
"Dr Faliisant was raving Xix e mad
man. % he said. He denounced both Butti-
NOR and myself IS scoundrels and declared
that he would slap -- 10 us. He repeated
this q number OF times. After this had
been going on some time I rushed out and
told him thar II he had anythin 3 10 settle
with me he could settlp 1t right there. He
jumped into his buggy and told his negro
TO make the horse run. would have pulled
him out of the buggy right there l was
at my field in tho afternoon when Dr.
Drummer and DR.. Falligant came up. /
told Dr. Falligant my opinion of him IN
very plain language, and ordered him out
of the field. I would have put him out II
he had not some. II it had not been for DR..
Drummer / would have Done so anyway.
/ then went over the field with DR.. Brun-
ner. and showed him what there was to be
seen. have had no complaint from any
body on account of the filth being dumped
there. Not more than nifty barrels have
been emptied their in all The field is half
2 mile from the city limits, and the same
distance from any residence locality. /
had no intention Of violating any ordi-
nance. Had DR.. Falligant approached me
in a different manner, l would have been
perfectly willing to discuss the matter
with him calmly"
Mr.. Brown is built on the John J.. Sulli-
van order and looks like bad man to tack
Ie for a scrap. Mr.. Buttimer said that Dr..
Falligant ought to have come to him or
sent the inspector Of the department to
notify him that an ordinance was being
violated.
Il know that it was a technical viola
ton Of the ordinance to empty the barrels
at Browns place" he said. The wagons
went there yesterday without my orders,
however. Previously when the wagons
were collecting from the vaults in that
neighborhood l allowed them to empty at
Browns for the sake of convenience. The
gatherings were nearly all water and not
bit more sanitary than the stun DR.. FALL
CANT allowed Mr.. Hubben to empty into
the drainage canal in the heart OF the city.
/ charged the doctor with that on Friday
and think that is why he has got 1t i'm for
me. The crematOry cannot burn this stuff
because there is so much water in 1t and
It is necessary to empty it outside Of the
city. Most OF II is carried to Maj. Ryals
place, but all the truck farmers want it
and l have endeavored to distribute it
around. We have to carry It where
it is most convenient for the wa
CONS and that is why some of the
farmers get more benefit from 1t than 9th
ers Brown has gotten very little of il. 1
have never received a cent from Brown
or anyone else for hauling this stun 20
their places. If DIR. Falligant thinks he
can break my contract he is at liberty to
try 1t. 1t was drawn up by the ctyq attor-
ney and approved by Mr.. Pope Barrow.
/ am only carrying out the provisions of
the contract and the city ordinances in
my work and am doing the work for less
than it cost the city to do it before it
entered into the contract"
DR. Falligant has entered the following
charges against Mr.. Brown on the infor-
nation docket of the police court:
/. Disorderly conduct, cursing and abus-
ing Alderman l.. A. Falligant while in
performance of his duty as an alderman
of the city of Savannah.
g Violating sanitary ordinances by hay
ing contents of privy vaults deposited
on his land.
8. Disordcrly conduct by obstructing AL
! derman Falligant while in performance
of his duty as an alderman of the city of
/ Savannah.
