A Sugges tion

The men who robbed the bank at
Winnemucca were inside ten minutes
doing the job. Meanwhile dozens Of
people were passing and looking in at
the windows, but suspecting nothing
The attaches of the bank were under
the muzzles of robbers pistols and
could give no alarm.
Might it not be good idea to ar
range sign over the bank door on the
outside which could be released by
touching button from different
places about the bank? The button
would release sign which would after
falling down or Topping over exhibit
to passers by the words: "Bank be-
ing robbed, give the alarm The
sign could be fastened on hinges and
when released by the Gberating OF a
catch, fall so as to show the words con-
cealed on the other side of the sign be-
fore it was released. This would make
no noise and communicate the situa-
ton to passers by. It could be arrang-
ed so that touch of the foot from
half a dozen places about the bank
would release the catch.
The robbers, unconscious of the fact
that the warning had been given,
would ontinue working at their game
of robbery until they were surrounded
and nabbed,

tanning its postoffice, which was so sud-
denly taken away from Il a short time
ago. Congressman Lester received a let
ter yesterday from the acting fourth as
sistant postmaster general, acknowledge
ing receipt of a letter. from the former
advising against doing away with the Ty-
bee postoffice. The letter states that the

factory to the department and that IN

the Office had been discontinued.
If a suitable party for appointment as
postmaster is suggested before the order
dscontinuing the office goes into effect
the advisability of resembling the same WIZ
be considered" says the letter. which is
signed by NJ. o. Chance, acting foruth
assistant postmaster general.
Col. Lester communicated the contents
of the letter to Mayor Butler of Tybee
and as the people of Tybee are decidedly
opposed TO dispensing with the postoffice

DIRECTED GRIFFIN'S RELEASE.

His own RecOgnizance.

His own RecOgnizance.
Evidence and argument were heard by
Judge Norwood in the City Court yester-
day in the case of Mic Morrison against
A S. Griffin the special feature consid-
cred being the application of the defend
ant to be released on his own recogniz-
ance. instead of being required to give
bond or go to jail.
The woman had instituted an action of
bail in trover against the defendant for
the recovery of some furniture that had
been stored with him by her sister, Sue
After the departure of the women on a
summer vacation their creditors had lev
led on the furniture and sold most of it
70 satisfy the judgments obtained against
the sisters. On their return Nit insti-
tuted the action of bail in trover against
at 5000 and its rental at $500. AS he
could not produce the furniture he would
have been required, under the law, either
10 give 5000 bond or go to Jail He
was not able to give the bond.
Upon application made by his attorney
Mr. W. F. Slater, Judge Norwood passed
an order requiring the plaintiff in the case
TO show cause why the defendant should
not be liberated. At the hearing the evil
dence demonstrated The truth of the state
of facts outlined above, though the wo-
men denied some portion of the story.
Judge Falligant directed the release of
the defendant, after requiring him to turn
over to the plaintiff that portion of the
furniture still remaining in his custody.

FOR MURDER IN PORTLAND.
AN ARREST IN SAVANNAH THE Sc
QUEL OF A ROMANTIC STORY.

Mate of a Ship Welded a Young
Woman of This City and After n
Voyage Around the World De-
serted Her on the Pacific Coast.
Her Friends Brought Her Home.
The Husband After Having Killed
a Man, II Is said, Followed Her to
Snvannnh-He Is Now Awaiting the
Arrival of Oregon Officers to Take
Him to Portland.
1t leaked out yesterday that there is
confined in the police station house a
man wanted in Portland Ore, for muir
der, around whose life for the last two
years is woven a strange story OF ro-
nance. Love and cruel indifference, vice
and crime make up the tale.
Eighteen months ago there came to Sa-
vannah a stranger who represented him
self as the mate of a sailing vessel, off
on holiday. He was of good appearance
and pleasing address and he succeeded in
making his way into the good graces OF
a young woman, belonging to a family
quite well known in this city. In course
of time there was wedding and the sailor
man and his bride left for Baltimore,
there TO take ship on the vessel. of which
he was an officer, for the Orient.
The days and months came and went.
The Savannah girl and her husband were
heard of in foreign seas, letters with
strange postmarks and bearing stamps OF
half-barbarous countries reaching her
family here. Around the Southern coast
of Africa, up through the Mozambique
channel. to Manila. to Honolulu and
thence to Portland. the sailing vessel made
its adventurous way.
In that city the husband got himself into
many scrapes. Facts are but little known
but 1t appears that in Portland the hus-
bands ill-conduct brought him into dis
grace and trouble, and that the loss of his
position was the least of the burdens that
ne had TO bear. The wife was iii and very
soon was expected to become a mother
In this state of affairs a man was killed
suspicion pointed 10 the husband and he
disappeared. He left with the minions of
the law on his track and his wife critical
ly i'll and dependant upon the kindness OF
strangers.
Her relatives in Savannah we're notified
OF her distress and one of them went to
Portland and brought her back 20 Sa-
vannah For a time all went well, but
some weeks ago the husband returned to
this section, and at once began to an
noy his wife and her family. He is known
to be of an ugly disposition and his at
titude was a source of constant annoy
ance and alarm 20 those who were he1
protectors, as well as to herself
In this state of affairs the police were
notified, and it Is TO be presumed from
subsequent happenings, correspondence
with the authorities in Portland was be.
gun At any rate, the man was ar
rested and taken to the station house
where he has since been confined
The police, probably for reasons of Their
own, deny any knowledge of the arrest
or of the mans history. He has beer
seen at the station house, however, ant
there is every reason to believe that he il
held on the charge of murder. 1t is stat
ed that officers from Portland will leave
that city to-day, armed with requisitior
| papers 20 take him back to stand tria
for the crime with which he is charged.

DRAINS BEING DUG OUT.
Growth of Weeds and Grass Cut
Away by County COnvicts.

The county forces of convicts are now
at work and have been for the last two
or three weeks. in clearing the county
drains and bitches of the growth of
grass and weeds that has accumulated
since they were last cleared
A member of the Drainage Committee
of the Board of County Commissioners
said yesterday that the work is progress
ing favorably although the conditions re-
Gently have not been of the best. The
heavy rains have filled most Of the
drains to the very brim with water and
the work of clearing out the grass and
weeds and removing the occasional sand
bars that have arisen since the last gen
eral cleaning has been carried on under
difficulties
The Vale Royal canal, west Of the city,
has already been cleared. The Har-
mon canal about five miles out on the
White Bluff road, has also been put in
good shape and the force of convicts that
has been engaged in doing this work has
been moved to a point on Dale avenue.
from which the force will give attention
TO the drains close to the southern boun-
daries of the city.
Work on the Dunbee canal will begin
shortly. This is one of the most import
ant of the county drains and was given
a thorough overhauling Lass spring. While
it is now in fairly good shape, IL will be
placed in better condition before the
summer cleaning process has been COM
pleted. The laterals to the larger drains
will also be looked after.
The, member of the Drainage Commit
tee stated that there had been no per-
ceptible damage TO the drainage system
by the recent rains, other than to fill
them with water. and thus in some de-
gree interfere with the purpose they are
intended to serve With the abatement
Of the rains the water will disappear.
and with the overhauling the drains will
receive, il is expected they will all be in
thoroughly good condition during the
summer season. when, of course, an eff
cient system of drainage is most essen
tial to the health of the community.
