WAS TOUCHED FOR $500.
WeII-Known Sport Was Parted
From His Wad.

A sensation in sporting circles has been
created by the report that a prominent
member of one of the coteres was
touched for his wad a few nights ago
The fraternity is discussing the matter
and endeavoring to decide what could
have become of the $500 that disappeared.
1t is no unusual thing for one of the
sports to go up against a game that will
leave him $500 to the bad, but when a roll
of such ample proportions is distracted
from his person, it sets the disciples of
the green cloth to talking.
The story goes that the touch was made
in one of the places of fortune. 1t seems
that the victim was having a quiet nap
after business hours. Things had grown
dull. The faro layout seemed to have no
attractions for players just then, and
those who usually like to have a try at
the bank were not around. Craps, too,
for the nonce, was unpopular. The beau
tiful red and black figures of the roulette
table had no coneealing chips scattered
upon them, and neither the stud nor the
draw poker table had a single sitter.
Just how 1t happened he probably will
never know, but when the sleeper awoke
and felt for his wad, he found that he
had been taken into camp. 1t is said tnat
he had a very warm conversation with
an acquaintance about the matter, but
nothing came of it.

SHOEMAKER MULLER MISSING
Believed That He Is Man Murdered
Near MOnteith.

1t has developed that the mutilated
body of the white man found in Black
Greek, near Montleth, Tuesday afternoon.
mention of which was made in the Morn
ing News, was probably that of Bern
hard Muller. a well-known shoemaker.
The man has been missing for two weeks
and his brother feels quite certain that
he is the man who was murdered and
whose remains were thrown into the
water
William Muller of No. 120 Thirty-third
street, east, read a description of the
clothing of the dead man printed in the
Morning News, and called on Coroner
Keller. He stated that his brother drank
at times, and that ne is sure that he
lost his life near Montieth. Muller says
that his brother appeared to be greatly
worried about something and left two
weeks ago. He stated that somebody was
after him, but did not say what he in
tended to do or where he was going. He
has not been seen since and his family
are satisfied that he was killed.
1t IS not known what trouble the shoe
maker could have been speaking of or
why he should have left the city. He was
known as a brave man, and it is said
never knew the meaning Of the word
rear. The theory advanced now is that
ne was attacked on the road near the
public bridge over Black Creek and lost
Lis life fighting a would-be robber Muller
was probably attacked near the bridge
and instead of allowing himself to be
searched put up a fight. The highway
man must have been forced to kill the
man and probably had to throw the body
in the water because of the approach Of
persons on the public road.
The shoemakers brother says that the
missing man wore such clothing as was
found around the deccmposed body in
Black Creek. While the county officers
believe the latest theory advanced they
nave no evidence upon which to work,
and even though Muller was murdered as
described there is no hope of aoDrehend-
ing his slayer

WILL FINISH NEXT MONTH.
The House Drainage Work Is Going
on Under n Permit.


The house drainage work, it is expected.
will be completed early in June. Mr.
George NJ. Gadsden. director of public
works, said yesterday that the indications
are that the work viii be completed be-
fore next month has progressed very far
The gangs are now principally engaged
in the southern section of the city.
Many property owners are having con-
nections with their houses made. Plumb
ers are busy with the work, and so are
the city inspectors, who see that the work
is properly done. Mr.. Gadsden says the
average cost for the connections is from
SIS to $25 a house.
The public works department has a per-
nit from the sanitary board to proceed
with the work A city ordinance requires
that the soil in the public domain shall
not be upturned during summer months,
commencing with May l, without spe-
cial permit from the sanitary board.
Many believe, a city official said yester-
day, that there is a law against the
streets being dug up, but such is not the
case. Were there such a law, the sani-
tary board would have no right 10 grant
permit for it's infraction.
Dr. W. +. Drummer, health officer of
Savannah, does not regard it as proven
and established fact that the health of
city is imperlled by upturning soil dur
ing the summer. Reports from the SAM
tary departments of other cities New Or
leans, for instance, he says, show no in
jurious effects from work being carried
on upon the streets during the summer
months. DR., Drummer sanctions the ordi-
nance requiring a permit before the work
can be done, howeve$ as it is well TO
have such a safeguard in the event that
conditions should arise that would make
the enforcement of such restrictions de-
sirable for health reasons.
