LIVED LIKE WILD PEOPLE.
Destitute Family. Discovered In n
Hut ON Buck Hammock.

Hut on buck
The residents of Tybee are much inter
ested in/fhe condition of family, CON
sisting /of mother and five or six chill
dren, living on Buck Hammock in very
destitute condition.
While the whereabouts, though not the
condition of the family has been known
to some of the islanders for some time,
it was not brought prominently before
the notice of the public until Christmas
Day. On that festival the Misses Schenk
at FIT. Screven, decided to give a Christ
mas tree for the benefit of the children
on the island, and sent out Sergt. ODon-
nell to make the invitations. During his
rounds the sergeant was told of the fam
lily on Buck Hammock and went there
to ask them to the celebration. He found
Them living in a little tumbled-down
shanty, rudely matched with palmetto
leaves, and with hardly one of the nee
cessities of life. Fhe children, themselves,
he found to be in a semi-wild state, run
ming away at the sight of him, and hid
ing themselves in the woods from behind
the trees of which they cautiously peered
at him, only to fly still further away
whenever he attempted to approach them.
only a few rags, the remains of clothing,
preventing them from being entirely nude.
Inquiry developed the fact that these
children and their mother have been
subsisting for the last several months on
just such food, as oysters and fish,
as they could secure on the Hammock,
and in all that time they have had So
little intercourse with civilization as o
haYe reached their present state of al
most savagery.
The fainter of the children was for a
time employed as a bricklayer at the
fort, and had his family living in a cot
tage near the scene of his labors. His
work at the fort finished he went away
and seemingly left his family to shift for
itself. They being unable to help them
selves on the island, went across to the
hammock several months ago and have
been living there ever since. The father
is thought to be now in Macon.
AS soon as the matter had been re
ported at the fort by Sergt. ODonnell,
the ladies there interested themselves in
the unfortunates and sent to them a lib
eral supply of clothing and other neces-
stiles.
Mayor ]. G. Butler, who has been in
formed of the condition of the unfortu-
mates, has also interested himself in their
behalf, and will make them a visit within
day or two to get at first hand their
needs, when he will lay the matter be-
fore the County commissioners, and ask
that some relief be given. He intended
to go to the island Sunday, but was pre-
vented by the bad weather.
Buck Hammock is situated to the south
of Tybee island, from which it is separat-
ed by Tybee creek. 1t is an exception
ally lonesome place, and is rarely visited,
except by fishermen who make only short
stays there.

BROKE UMBRELLA OVER HUSBAND
Muscular Woman Got in Some Good
Ones on Her Sworn Protector.

Muscular Woman Got in Some Good
Ones on Her Sworn Protector.
A rather fine looking and muscular wo-
man created a sensation in the vicinity of
the City Market early yesterday afternoon
by breaking her umbrella over a man of
rather small stature. The womans anger
appeared to be up in earnest and after
demolishing her sun shade she started in
20 use natures weapons. The man made
very little resistance and seemed to re-
alize that it would be wise to take his
medicine.
A crowd gathered, and the attention of
Patrolman Godbold was attracted. Even
after she had been placed under arrest
the woman wanted to continue the as
sau+t. Her victim proved to be her hus-
band. Godbold is a powerful man, but ii
required all of his strength 40 prevent the
angered female from repeating the knock
out blows After she had been placed in,
the patrol wagon she made for her hus-
banG again and City Detective Murphy
had to go to the station house with Sally
port officer Lange to prevent any further
trouble
The woman had evidently been drink
ing and was in no mood to be trifed with.
She stated that her name is Mrs. j. F.
Scheeler and that she was the wife of the
man she had assaulted. In the meantime
the complainant was in the desk sergeants
Office with several bruises on his face
He told a Morning News representative
his story and seemed to be thoroughly in
awe of the woman who, he declared, could
whip any two men. Scheeler says that
he is a conductor and that he came to
Savannah with his wife from Richmond
Va, shortly before Christmas 20 accept
position with the Seaboard Air Line
He and his wife boarded at 1923 Perry
street, west, and the first serious trouble
since their arrival in this city occurred
yesterday.
II saw two letters to other men that
my wife wrote this morning and 1 asked
her about them. She sailed into me IN
earnest and then began drinking. She is
a heavy drinker and it is not the first time
that she has thrashed me- | would
not strike a woman, anyway, but to have
hit her would have only made 1t all the
worse for me. / have charged her with
being drunk and disorderly and beating
me on the street, and 1 hope that the
courts will put her where she can't beat
me any more"
The case against the woman will be
heard. by Judge Hartridge at this MORN
ings session of Police Court and promises
to be rich, rare and racy.

Valdosta, Dec. S1.--A negro named Leah
Davis was shot and killed about 10 o'clock
Saturday night while entering his home
in the southern part of the city. The
shooting is said to have been done by an
other negro named Alfred Michael, and
the coroner's jury to-day returned an
inquest charging him with the murder.
1t seems that Michael was at Davis
house when he arrived there after his
days work at the Atlantic Valdosta and
Western depot. AS Davis entered the
door, he was shot through the heart, dy-
ing instantly. Michael skipped out and
has not been seen since. There was con-
siderable feeling among the colored peo-
pie over the killing as the dead negro
is said to have been a quiet, peaceable
man.
One of the most brilliant of the social
functions of the Christmas season came
near having a very serious ending Sat
urday night. The affair was rendered by
Miss Meta Fender to her friends, and the
evening was a delightful one. Just be-
fore the guests departed for their homes,
the dress worn by Miss Gator of For
syth, caught on fire and spread into
blaze. Miss Gator was talking to several
young men at the time and was stand
ing with her back to the fire. She wore
an organdy dress and befere any one
noticed it, the young lady was covered
with flames. The young men, with re-
markable presence of mind, pulled off
their coats and threw them around ner,
smothering the flames without the
least injury to the young lady, though
the young men suffered some burns en-
their hands.
The business of the merchants here has
been the heaviest ever known for
Christmas season. Thousands of shoppers
have come here from all sections and the
trade has been very heavy. On next
Tuesday a dozen or more local corpora
lions will turn loose their annual and
semi-annual dividends, and these will
amount to probably $4,000. There are
twenty-three Incorporated enterprises
here, and every one of them pays dividends
every year. The present year is said to
have been a very successful one with
all of the merchants as we'll as other en-
terprises

William Smith, IA DricISIayer, Found
Dead in Bed at Tybee.


William Smith, a white man 45 years
Of age, was found dead in his bed, at the
Naylor House, on Tybee Island. yester-
day morning, with two ugly wounds in his
head Coroner Goette was notified of the
death, and took charge of the remains.
From all accounts it would appear that
Smith was knocked down by another
white man named Gallow at Fort Screven
Sunday night. The matter will be thor
oushly investigated to-day by the county
officers, and the arrest OF Gallow will
most likely follow.
smith was employed at the new govern
ment quarters on the isl and as a brick
mason while Gallow worked at the same
place as carpenter. The men were eat
ing supper Sunday night when Gallow
and Smith became engaged in a dispute
over some trivial matter Smith had been
drinking, and Gallow struck him over the
head it is said, with a water pitcher
making two ugly wounds Smith left the
messroom and nothing more was thought
OF the affair until he was found dead.
The men employed on the works sleep
together in one room, and when Smith
did not get up yesterday morning some

further investigation showed that the
oHcklayer was dead. 1t was then that

ana Coroner Goette was called in. The
body was brought to the city in the morn
ing and a hurried examination was made
OF the wounds. 1t was found that one of
me blows had caused a fracture of the
Skull and 1t may be that DR. Keller will

decision had yet been reached as to where
his show would put up for the winter.
The circus man was evidently ruffled
about something and was quite curt. He
did not seem DESTROYS of giving out too
much information on the subject, If he
really had any to give.
At first Mr. Sells said that he wanted
to take rest, but a moment later re-
considered and announced that there were
no new developments. The circus pro-

1t is rather remarkable that the num-
Der of licenses issued to white couples
during the year 1898 was the same as that
for the year 1900 On the marriage and
prosperity theory. this is taken to mean
that 1900 was just as prosperous a year
for Savannah as was 1898. The only trou-
BILE about this view is that the actual
facts show it to have been a good deal
more so.

High schooI-Cadets Game.

The High School and Cadets teams will
also play to-day. This game will begin
at II o'clock. The teams have met twice
before, each winning one game, so the
present has been arranged with the OBJ
ject of playing off the tie.
While each of the teams will have the
greater number of the players that took
part in the former games there will be
one or two changes, each of which will
strengthen the teams. Launey, who
played so excellent a game for the Cadets
Christmas, will to-day play with the High
slhol while the Cadets have strengthen
ed their eleven by securing Jette of the
Tech who will play full back. Both
teams have been practicing constantly
since long before the Thanksgiving game,
and there is no doubt that to-day they
will put up a hard and scientific fight.
The changes in the arrangement of the
goals, as well as the placing of the ropes,
will be completed before the game be-
gins. The lineup of the teams will be
