FATROLMAN HARPER INJURED.
Jumped n Fence and Landed on
Shed.

Patrolman j. G. Harper was injured
Yesterday morning under rather peculiar
circumstances. Harper and Patrolman r.
T. Dooley were coming off duty and
on their way through the Tenderloin, no
ticed- the house of Thelma Owens, at No.
0h oglethorpe avenue, east, Illuminated
from TOP to bottom.
The officers decided that it would be
wise FOR them to make an investigation,
and, in getting over fence, Harper slip
ped and badly bruised himself. The officer
thought that he would land on the
ground, but struck a low shed and sus-
tanned several bruises. He went, however,
to search the house with Dooley but
nothing suspicious was found on the
premises. The inmates were asleep and
were surprised to find the police in pos
session of the place.
The Owens woman stated that
there was nothing missing, and
that some one had evidently turned
on the electric lights in a spirit of fun.
The city detectives do not believe that
the house was entered by any one, but
are of the opinion that the lights were
left burning by the inmates. The injured
patrolman was able 20 walk to headquar-
ters and report the accident.

FOUGHT IN A STORE.
Ex-CorpOraI Harris and a BrouSh-
ton street Clerk In "A Fisticun.

Ex-CorporaI Harris and a Brough-
ton street Clerk In a Ffsticun'
There was a lively set-to yesterday az
ternoon in Broughton-street store be-
tween a clerk and ex-Corpl. Harris OF
the Republican Blues, who figured prom
inently in the recent court-martial.
According to the story of the clerk and
eye-witnesses, there was quarrel ABOUT
a pair of trousers that Harris had sent
TO the store, and though the quarrel was
straightened out so far as the trousers
were concerned, o meeting for last night
was arranged between Harris and the
clerk for the purpose OF settling by per-
sonal encounter the i'll feelings that had
been engendered during the quarrel.
Harris went up stairs for few min
utes and when he came down he was told
that If he preferred settling the matter
then. instead of waiting until night, he
could be Accommodated, if he cared TO
go into the lane to the rear of the store.
To this he assented and he and his chal-
lenger started for the rear door, but
mixed up before they got there.
Harris, from all accounts, got the worse
of the encounter. having received several
blows on the face. He was taken up
stairs aud washed up, after which ne left
with the sinister promise to give the clerk
another meeting. 1t Is not known II there
will be any further developments.
The report of the scrap with many va
riations was soon current. one Of
them doing injustice to Capt
NJ Ed. Wilson. that 1t was he
who had the set-to with Harris. and that
1t was on account of the previous III feel
ing between them. caused by the develop
ments Of the court-martial. Capt. Wilson
was on Hutchinson's Island at the time
of the trouble. and knew nothing of II I'M
tn quite some time after it happened.

Mr.. Bryan has not heard whether Mr..
Mitchell accompanies the team.
1t has been settled that the Savannah
team will make the trip to New Orleans
Next month to play there the Audubon
club which was beaten so handily on
these links. The team, it is probable will
leave Savannah about the middle of the
month and be gone about week or ten
DAYS that is, if games can be secured IN

now pending.
It is hoped to play on the way home
from New Orleans, games with Mobile,

COZ 10 definite arrangements have as
yet been made with the teams of these
cities but all of them doubtless win be
heard from within a short time.
The members of the Savannah team
were all out on the links yesterday after
noon. Unless the Jacksonville players are
exceptionally good the local team will
have no difficulty in winning the match.
The hour for starting the game was
purposely made early as several of the
Jacksonville players will have to leave
for home during the afternoon. While
the morning game is hardly as popular
es one that is played in the afternoon.
there is no doubt that large number of
Interested spectators will be on hand, and
will watch with the closest interest the
outcome of the play.

CARRIED 1T TOO FAR.
Paris Bowens Tried to Lift the Lii
brary of Another


Paris Bowens, a dusky member of the
light-ingered fraternity, appeared before
Judge Norwood in the City Court yester-
day morning and acknowledged that he
was guilty of the charge Of larceny that
had been preferred against him.
The solicitor generals information set
out that Bowens had entered the house
of Mr.. J. P. Mcintyre. from which he
had lifted an album, of the value of Sc.
a Bible. of the value of $40, history
of the value of $12. and six photographs,
of the value of so cents.
Judge Norwood is a student of the mus
es and a patron of the arts himself but
he could not lend his approval to Bow
ems methods of gratifying his literary
and artistic tastes. Bohemianism is all
well enough in its way and its place, but
it can. be carried too far. Judge Norwood
was convinced that Bowens had crossed
the line and he sent the prisoner out to
the chain-gang for twelve months.
Elijah Nelson was another of the de-
PENDANTS who made no bones Of acknowl-
edging his guilt of the offenses with
which he was charged. He owned up to
lifting six chickens from Julian Smith
and a pair of turkeys from r. r. Oak
man. The court figured out that six chick
ems are about of the value of two tur-
KEYS, and on each charge sent Nelson 10
the gang for nine months.
Three white men, Thomas MCGUIRE
John wilkins and Clarence Lunden, were
found guilty of vagrancy. Mcclure was
given three months on the gang, and
Wilkins and Lunden two months each
These sentences are the first fruits OF
Superintendent Screven's determination
to break up vagrancy in Savannah, In
accordance with which he has issued or

JUMPED FOR HIS LIFE.
Williams Wants Damages From Gen.
trail of Georgia.


Porter W. Williams filed suit in the City
Court yesterday against the Central of
Georgia Railway Company for damages
for personal injuries. Williams does not
endeavor to fix the amount of the dam
ages he should receive, but seems content
40 leave this matter to the determination
of the jury by which his case will be
tried.
His petition recites that on Nov. 10, 1900,
he was switchman in the employ of the
defendant. Williams claims he was stand
ing on the rearmost car of a freight train,
that was entering the yards of the COM
pany al Savannah for the purpose of
switching. Because of the alleged defec-
tive condition OF the switch and track
the front cars took one track and the car
upon which Williams was riding another

sized
To save himself from being crushed~un-
der the falling car, Williams alleges, he
jumped from the top OF the car to the

and side. He claims that his spine was
seriously injured and that his knee and
hip were wrenched

that he was entirely without fault and
did nothing to contribute to the accident.
but acted throughout with all proper and
reasonable care and diligence for his own
safety. He charges on the contrary, that
the defendant was negligent, in that It
failed to provide proper and safe appi-
onces and that IL was due to the defec-
tive condition of the switch that the ac-
cident occurred.
Williams says the injuries he received
were permanent in their nature. have
caused him already great mental and
physical pain and anguish and still neces-

ages for the time he has lost from his
employment, for the injuries he has re-
ceived and the suffering he has under

Twiggs & Oliver.
Messrs. Twiggs & oliver filed also the
suit of Robert Smails against the South

ages for personal injuries. IL was first
filed some days ago, when the nature OF
the injuries Smalls claimed to have re-
