HAD A LIVELY NIGHT OF 1T.
Pistols, Bullets and Fists FLY Mt
Jasper Springs.

Jasper Springs.
There was the hveliest kind of a row at
Jasper Springs a little after p O'Clock
yesterday morning. A dance was in
progress at Toshach's pavilion and num-
Der of people from the city were in at
tendance, many of them going out on
the illuminated" car.
Among the late arrivals was a party
Of young bucks, some of them employees
of the Electric Railway Company. They
were accompanied by several women
from the western end of WAYNE street
The party was evidently out for a lark
and the liveliest kind of one 1t wa
boisterous, and one of the crowd pointed
a pistol in the face OF a negro waiter
who was carrying two trays with glasses
of beer. The darby dropped the trays to
the floor with a crash and lit out in the
darkness.
a fireman who was enjoying his day Off
excited the ire Of the young men and one
OF them showed a pistol under his nose
and proceeded to curse him out The fire.
man was unarmed and was obliged to
take the cursing. When the young fellow
got through cursing the fireman he stuck
the pistol in his breast pocket and started
on. A friend of the fireman's reached
over the young mans shoulder and sliDped
the pistol out of his pocket. There was a
struggle for It, followed nv a cen
which several shots were fired A motor
man had the end of his finger shot off
and one of the women from Wayne street
is said to have received a scalp wound
from pistol ball.
There was a large crowd on the pavil-
ion at the time and men, women and
children jumped over the benches and
ratings and ran of into the darkness.
proprietor Toshach ran out with a shot
gun and drove the rioters from the navil-
ion. The fighting was continued at the
car and part of the crowd walked home
rather than attempt to ride at the risk of
being shot The fireman and his friend
had TO walk because the other crowd
would not let them get on the car.
Mr.. Toshach was in the city Yesterday
and stated his intention of taking ont
warrants against the parties who started
the row as soon as ne could learn their
names. The warrants will probably he
taken out to-day, The affair was inves-
tigated yesterday by Receivers Collins

Some Hard Work on the Ranges.

Some Hard Work on the Ranges.
The Savannah sharpshooter's Club held
meeting at the Guards arsenal last
night to discuss arrangements for send
ing team to seagirt Sept / to
represent Georgia. 1t is pretty well set
tied that the team will, for the third
time, be composed of practically all sa-
vannahians. and the sharpshooters are
getting ready for the work.
They decided at their meeting last
night to begin their practice work Tues
day, July A. and to have practice shoot
ing regularly twice a week on Tuesdays
and Saturdays. There will be about
thirty men at the practices regularly,
and on the scores made at these practices
will depend the composition of the team.
Capt. w. w. Williamson, who will be
the team captain by appointment of the
adJutant general, will carry about eight
cen men to Sea Grit, and these eighteen
viii be the best shots out of the thirty.
Companies outside of Savannah will, of
course, have an opportunity to contest
for places on the team. The state team
of twelve will be selected from the eigh-
teen after their arrival at Sea Grit The
club is now making arrangements to
raise a fund to aid the team in this en-
terprising work.

SET THE DOG ON HIM
Bitten In the Arm and DESTROYS Of Summary
Vengeance

Leading a scrubby-looking cur dog
by string attached to his neck, Gus
Schutte, a German eXpressman, who
also plays little music on the side after
hours OF waiting on the wagon are over,
came to the police station last night and
demanded that the animal be instantly
given his quietuS, as 1t had bitten him.
Following Gus came little girl, owner
of the dog, who cried bitterly and plead
ed for the life of her pet. The story told
of the affair which had caused the trou-
BILE was about as follows:
Schultz lives at Third and Flower
streets, while Mrs. Rampe resides on
top of the ridge at Third and Bunker
Hill avenue. The lady Is desirous of
selling her property and last evening
Schultz called to see her about a pros
pective customer. Just as he entered
the yard of the Rampe domicile some
children set the dog on him and the ami
NAL grabbed him in the left arm scratch
ing his flesh. This reused his Teutonic
blood and Gus lassooed the canine and
made triumphal march to police head
quarters in order to have the pup slain
with due process of law.
He stormed and the girl pleaded for
the dogs life, and finally the matter was
compromised by being allowed to go
over, the girl taking the pup home and
Schultz going off to nurse his wound.
having come to the conclusion that the
life of real estate agent is not always
a happy one.

KICKED IN THE FACE
Terrible Injuries Sustained by . Rancher
From the Heels of d Horse

Behind a spanking team Of grays.
George Whitman, a rancher SO years old
who resides on the Bixby ranch just east
of Long Beach was last evening driven
to this city for medical treatment for
terrible wound, which had been 1nf1ict-
ed earlier in the day by the kick of a
horse. Whitman rents piece of ground
from Bixby, and, yesterday forenoon.
was cultivating corn with young colt
in the harness. While at work one of the
tugs became unfastened and Whitman
stepped forward behind the horse and
bent down to refasten it. Just as he was
Strengthening up he received terrific
kick in the face from the animal, which
nearly knocked him unconscious.
His nose was broken, a terrible cash
cut in his cheek and the left eyeball was
split vertically in two. completely de-
stroying the sight. He managed to get
to the house and notify his wife, who
quickly summoned a physician. The
flesh wounds were stitched up and the
broken nose set, but for treatment of
the sightless eye Whitman was driven
to this city by George Bixby. He first
came to the police station but conclud-
ed to consult an oculist in the Bryson
block 1t was seen that the eye would
have to be cut out, and an attempt was
made to go on with the operation, but
whitman was too weak. He was remov-
ed to the Good Samaritan hospital, at
Seventh and Pearl streets, where the
operation will be performed today.

NO ADVANCE IN PRICE
The Price OF Petroleum Steady, With a De-
crease of Product

Yesterday afternoon the board of d.
rectors of the oil exchange met for their
weekly consultation over prices, but af-
ter thorough discussion decided to al
low the rate to remain as at present
for the time at least. The loss of oil by
the recent fire has been computed to
have been just 2200 barrels burned or
wasted by escape into slump holes or
into street cutters.
There has also been an actual decrease
during the past two weeks in produc-
ton of about 1000 barrels. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that twelve wells
were temporarily destroyed by the
flames, and as their pumping plants
were used to furnish power for twelve
outside of the burned district, there
nave virtually been twenty-four pump
ing holes which have not produced a
drop in the last ten days.
Some consumers in the city have been
holding back from purchasing any oil
further than necessary, hoping that the
Summerland oil would come into the
market and depress local prices. This
is not liable to be the case, as the sum
merland field comprises but about forty
acres In all, on which are thirty eight
wells These pump from two to six bar
rels per day of twelve to fifteen gravity
Oil, nearly the same as produced here,
or total production of $50 to 200 barrels
per day.
Inc wells are swallow, from $50 to 240
feet deep, and the oil comes from the
first sand. The best wells are directly
on the seashore at high tide mark, and
the strata seems to dip into or under the
ocean. Nearly all the oil produced is
consumed locally, In or near Santa Bar
bara, and 75c to 81 per barrel is realized
at the wells. The consumption nearly or
quite equals the production, so unless
the field is greatly enlarged by the dis
covery of new territory there seems lit
lie prospect of this oil cutting much figure
in the local market.

ROWELL'S S.DIRECTORY
AGAIN

To the unreliability of Geo. P. Rowell's
Newspaper Directory regarding circula-
ton ratings there is apparently no lack
of testimony. The Herald has already
adverted to several instances of the
palpable unfairness of this authority
and takes great pleasure in submitting
to its readers another case of rank in
justice. This time 1t is the Santa Clara
Magazine, one of the best known of the
periodicals published in the central part
of the state. The statement of the
directory's Misrepresentation is pub
lished over the signature of Carrie
Stevens Walter, the publisher of the
Santa Clara Magazine, and is as follows:

the press certain facts concerning my

The Santa Clara Magazine for their mis-
Directory of 1895, conforming in every
respect with their requirements When
the mis-Directory was published my
publication was rated, by letter at about
one-twelfth what had given them as

rating represents the opinion of the

A BANKER KILLED
A Robber Failed to Oct Money and Took

A Robber Failed to Oct Money and Took
Life
NEW YORK, June 15-George H.
Wyckoff, president of the bank Of New
Amsterdom, was shot in the abdomen
and side this afternoon, while in his pri-
vate office, by Clarence Clark. Clark
demanded money, and meeting with re-
fusal fired two shots, then turned the
pistol on himself. Both men are now
at the hospital in an unconscious con-
dition. When Clark gained access to
Wyckoffs office he presented the fol-
lowing letter written on Hotel Marl-
borough paper. in clear. legible hand:
I'VE want $4,000. five $1,000 bills. ten $1Oo
bills. I'll shoot you If you make a move
ment, so be careful. My partner outside
also has you covered, and If you give
an alarm within three minutes after
leave he will throw a stick of dyna-
mite through the front entrance. Put
Shos were heard by, patrolman whS
ran into the bank building in time to
see Clark fall. Wyckoff is sixty years
old and resides at Montclair, N. j. Clark
is thirty years old and wears a sandy
moustache. He was weu-dressed.
At the hospital Clark would not give
his name, addres or occupation. He said
that he needed money and had been out
of employment for one week. He
claimed that he had no particular mo-
tive other than that of geeting money
for the support Of his wife and babe He
said:
Il had never seen the bank president
before and did not know him. He had
never done me or any member of my
family any wrong. I did not mean to
harm him, but when he refused the de-
mand that 1 made meant to scare him.
I hope that he may recover. If my wife
should identify me I will not be laid in
the potters field. I was born in the
west"
The police do not know Clark. Neither
had any of the bank employees ever seen
him about the bank. His real identity
is a mystery and every effort Is being
made to identify him. The accepted
theory is that he is crazy.
The shooting created great excitement
in the banks on Broadway. In few
minutes all Wall street a mile and a
half away, knew it and wild rumors
We're afloat there.
The attempt Of Norcross to kill Rus
sell Sage was recalled and intensified
the excitement. The bank officers were
quickly upon the scene and in a short
while every arrangement was perfected
for any emergency.
