White Men Resented His Conduct
Toward Their wives.


Douglas, Ga, Aug. 20.-At 10 O'Clock
last night, two miles from Douglas, Col
Levi OSteen and brother, with their
wives, were returning from Clinch coun-
~. The two ladies' were in buggy a
short distance behind the two gentlemen
A negro jumped in the buggy with the
two ladies.
Their cries brought the two gentlemen
back to the rescue. They ordered the
negro out He said: Boss, this is my
wife" wherupen the gentlemen jerked
him out of the buggy, and having no
weapons but their pocketknives, proceed
ed to cue him in many places, twelve of
which wounds had to be sewed up.
DR. Sibbett dSnssed the wounds after
the man was brought to town. The ne
gro proved to be John Chandler, who has
been considered one of the best negroes
in the town.
His version of the affair. as borne out
by other negroes who were with him, is
that he went out to the two-mile post to
meet his wife, whom he was expecting
from Pearson. She being a very bright
mulatto and the night being dark, he
thought his wife was in the buggy and
had no idea II contained ladies.
If his tale is true, no one regrets the
affair more than the Messrs. O'Steen.

rREAsrRER HARVEY SHORT.
He Is Apparently Ont Something
Like $4,000.

Brunswick Ga, Aug. 2a-At a special
called meeting of BrunswiclS's mayor and
council held tonight, City Treasurer II.
Il. Harvey asked to be relieved from mis-
office. Treasurer Harvey also requested.
In connection Herewith, that an expert
accountant be placed on his books Coun-
Gil granted Treasurer Harvey's request by
appointing City Clerk L. C. Bodet tenn
porary treasurer. pending an investiga lion
of Mr.. Harveys books. and also author
lied Treasurer Harvey to employ an ex-
pert to examine them
Treasurer HarVeys request was due 10
the fact that he had recently found al
apparent error in his accounts, and in at
tempting to trace that error with City
Clerk Bodel, he had found his bills paya-
bic account checked up about $4,000 short.
In continuing he investigation through
his expense account, an error of over
$1,000 in his favor had been discovered,
making the apparent shortage of his ac-
count as treasurer about $4,000.
Treasurer Harvey. realizing that a mis-
take had been made somewhere, decided
that the best solution of the affair would
be to turn his books over for expert ex-
animation and let the experts balance
them. Treasurer Harvey has also noti-
fed his bond company of the apparent
shortage. He is bonded in the United
States Fidelity and Casualty Company of
Baltimore for $4,000.
Mayor Atkinson and the individual
members of Council express the greatest
confidence in Treasurer Harvey, as do
those few citizens who have learned of
his request to Council tonight The
Morning News correspondent has thor
oughly Investigated the matter and there
is nothing whatever in the case on which
to base any suspicion of misuse of office
on Treasurer Harvey's part. He is a
young man, with a large family, consist
ing of a devoted wife and seven children.
Neither he nor any member of his fam
lily is extravagant and they have always
lived in a very modest manner.
During the period that the apparent
shortage appears, Treasurer Harvey had
an income from property inherited from
his father and his office as treasurer OF
nearly $500 per month. He neither spec
ulated nor INDUCED in any bad habits
The present difficulty in his.accounts can
be attributed to the bad bookkeeping OF
his deputy. but beyond that no blame can
now be attached to Treasurer Harvey s
record. 1t is confidently believed by every
one connected with the case that when
all the books and accounts have passed
the scrutiny of expert examiners, a bah
ance Will be struck, showing Treasurer
Harvey's accounts all right.

Chicago, Aug. 20-With all the police
machinery of the Adams Express Com
pany and the Pinkerton Detective Agency
In motion since Saturday, the identity of
the person who substituted bogus pack
age for one containing $4,000 consigned

known and the money has not been found.
The package was delivered 20 the agent
in charge of the Burlington office. 1t was
delivered to the bank and when opened
was found TO contain some brown paper.
The forgery of the address was clumsy.
The imitation Of the banks seals was
crude IN the extreme, and the sealing wax
used on the imitation was of different
color. Only in the most general way was
the package an Imitation of the origi-
mol.
Cashier ]. T. Talbert of the Commercial
Bank said tonight: Comparison OF the
wrapper of the bogus package with that of
the original satisfied every one that the
change must have been made after deliv-
