INDIAN VALLEY CORRESPONDENTS.

This valley is situated on the fork
known as the Little Weiser, a distance of
forty-two miles from Weiser City. and
is one of the most pleasant valleys in this
region of country. Trappers and pros
pectors made the first trails into it about
fifteen years since, and after time Mr..
Isaac Spoor (the present postmaster, be-
came the first actual settler. Others soon
followed till most of the land was claim
by prospectors, who built themselves
cabins, but more intent on mining than
farming, little was done toward demon
sirating what the land and climate were
capable of producing Most of the claims
have passed into other hands, Mr.. Spoor
being the only original settler who has
become one of the solid men of the
county.

To Prevent Wife From Going on Ex-
cursion Negro Destroyed Her shoes.
Because he was opposed to having
his wife attend an excursion to Beau
fort Thursday afternoon, Lymus
Wright, a negro, resorted to a clever
strategem which. although it operated
in accordance with his highest expec-
tations, also landed the negro In Jail.
Wright's wife expressed her inten-
ton of accompanying the excursion
party to Beaufort on Thursday morn
ing. He offered many strenuous OBJ
Jections without avail and finally gave
up trying to change her mind. The
negro did not despair, however, but
While his wife was in another room he
took her shoes and cut them so badly
that they were unfit to wear. The ne
gro then left the house in a high state
of eXultation. His glee did not last
long, however, for when his wife found
that she could not so to the excursion
after all, she called in Nose Davis and
explained matters to him. The detec-
tive placed Wright under arrest, his
wife having made complaint of ma
licious mischief against him.
The resourceful negro was arraigned
before the Recorder, but his wife had
evidently concluded that he had @aen
punished enough, as she did not ap-
pear against him. He told the Re-
corder that he had not cut his wife's
shoes, but had only hidden them. He
was discharged

SHOOTING ON MACON RANGE.
Capt. Hazlehupst the First to Be-
come IA ShnrpshOter.

Savannah soldiers are qualifying so
constantly on the Avondale Range
that no remark is occasioned by a man
getting in as a sharpshooter or a
marksman. To qualify is a new thing
at the Macon range, however, and the
following special" from Macon to the
Atlanta Constitution. will interest Sa-
Vannahians:
This morning at the rifle range
Capt. Robert Hazelhurst of the Macon
Volunteers, made ia points, which is
four points above the number required
to qualify as a. sharpshooter. This
score entities him to a sharpshooter S
badge for 1902. and does not prohibit
him from entering the novice match
at Savannah next month. This is the
first qualification made at the Macon
rifle range, and first qualification made
by a Macon man. At the local prac-
tice which has been going on at the
range, Sergt. Starr and CorpI. John
son, of the Volunteers. have qualified
scores on the 200, 300 and 500 ranges,
which gives them a splendid opportu-
nifty to qualify as sharpshooters on the
skirmish. The Volunteers will send
a team to the Savannah shoot I"
Savannah soldiers are elated that
rifle practice is securing devotees in
Macon. They will always remember
the hospitable treatment they received
in Macon during the recent state shoot.

CAUSE OF RECENT STORMS.
Brought About by Prolonged Heat
and Differ Little From TOrnadOs.

The number of thunderstorms that
have been experienced recently in the
vicinity of Savannah, and the fatalities
that have accompanied some of them,
notably the death by a strokesof light
ming of man and a colored girl some
two weeks ago, and still more recently
the death of four persons brought
about through the capsizing of the
sail boat Lowell Dell, has drawn the
attention of the public to a considera-
ton of this meteorological phenomena
and the question has been asked if
these storms are not of more frequent
occurrence now than formerly.
Mr. H. 3. Boyer, the local forecast
official of the Weather Bureau talked
of the matter Interestingly yesterday.
The squalls are brought about, he ex-
planned, by the fact that long con-
tinued spells of hot weather cause the
surface of the earth to become super
heated, in turn heating the atmosphere
and sending it up until it strikes the
cooler strata of air, and is condensed
into rain and hail. The bursting of the
storm is usually preceded, he contin-
ued, by gust of cold air which rare
ly lasts more than twenty minutes and
of which the origin and cause have
never been satisfactorily explained.
These storms, Mr.. Boyer further ex
planned, are of the same formation as
a tornado, differing only in the axis
OF the movement, which in the tor
nado, is vertical, whereas in the thun-
derstorm it is horizontal. The thunder
and lightning which gives the popular
name to this form of atmospheric dis
turbance is generated by the tremen-
dous amount of friction brought about
by the contending elements at the CEN
ter of the storm.

CONCERT IN THE PARK,
Not as Successful as II Would Have
Been with More Light.

The concert by the First Regiment
Band in the Park Extension last night
was not success, for reasons that
were beyond the bands control. For
some inexplainable cause, the arc light
in the bandstand would not burn, so
that it was not possible for the band
to occupy the stand. This was re-
sponsible for it's difficulties.
Just outside the bandstand there Is
an ordinary drop light Beneath this
the band played, but the players could
not see the notes of the music, as the
light was too dim. What there was
was constantly fiuctuating, so that the
programme had to be abandoned, and
those airs with which the band was
entirely familiar were substituted
Conductor j. II. Gordon regretted the
Ill success of the concert, but there
was no remedy in the absence of light
There was large crowd out to hear
the music, however, and few seemed to
notice anything wrong. The attend
ance upon the concerts testifies to their
popularity.
The Band Committee from the City
Council will meet with Conductor Cor
don to-day and decide upon the nights
on which the concerts will be regularly
given.

FIRST ROUTE SELECTED.
Rural Free Delivery mt ThunderboIt.
Isle of Hone and montgomery.

Rural Free Delivery mt ThunderboIt,
Isle of Hone and montgomery.
At least one route of the rural free
delivery system has been settled on
by Special Agent Calhoun of the Post
office Department. an account of whose
presence in Savannah was stated in
yesterdays Morning News. The route
viii be as follows: Savannah along the
old shell road to Thunderbolt. to the
colored college and along LaRoche
avenue 10 Isle of Hope, 10 Bethesda,
TO Montgomery. thence back to the
city along the Waters road and Dale
avenue.
Yesterday Mr.. Calhoun went out
some distance on the Augusta road
to see whether advisable or not to
establish another route that would in
clude that Section, and to-day he will
visit White Bluff, Coffee Bluff, Mich
olasville and that vicinity which pos
sibly may be included in a route, a
part of which would be the return to
the city along the Middle Ground road.
Mr. Calhoun is receiving much assist
ance from Mr.. w. f. Brown, county
engineer, whom the County Commits
sioners have allowed two days in which
to assist in the work.
In Effect in October.
The first route Mr.. Calhoun will rec
ommend, which means really, that il

a second route will be recommended
VIII depend on subsequent investiga-
.1a.%s
viii be made to Washington almost
at once, and be accompanied by a map,
1t is hardly probable that the delivery
VIII begin before oct. l. and may be
not before the 10.
That it viii be satisfactory when es-
tablished Mr.. Calhoun has no doubt,
having in mind the fact that such
routes have become most popular
wherever else established, that to July
l there were $500 in existence and
that there are applications on file for
about 1900 more.
Every Day Except sunday.
The route is to be in charge OF one
carrier, who is expected to make the
round every day except Sunday and
to do 1t in eight hours. AS this car
rier will not only deliver and collect
mail but sell stamps, money orders and
attend to registered letters as WELL he
VIII not only have to stand an examin-
nation as to his fitness for the place,
but If that is passed will have to fur
nish bond for $500 and also provide
a substitute. who, though he will not
have to stand an examination, yet will
be required to give bond.
When the route is first established
the mail for Thunderbolt will be de-
ivered at that place in locked pouch.
Mr.. Calhoun will be in Savannah for
the next few days, then will go TO
Aaicyondale, where he will spend
Tuesday and Wednesday. From that
town he will go to Oliver. 1t is prob
able that before he leaves Savannah

REWARDS FOR WISE
GOVERNOR ASKED TO AID IN CAP
TURE OF NEGRO RAyISHER.
WISE'S HOME WATCHED.
HIS CHANCES FOR TRIAL SLIM IF
CAPTURED.

A Small Reward offered by the PeO-
pie in the NeighbOrhOOd of Penn
broke But Larger Reward by the
State Believed Necessary to Eject
His Capture-Wise Came From
south Carolina But Has a Wife at
Daisy-The Feeling in the Section
Where the Crime Was Committed
Intense.
An application has been made to
have John Wise, the negro ravisher of
Mrs. John Smith, made the object of
a reward TO be offered by the Cover
nor. A small reward has already been
offered by those living in the rmme-
date vicinity of the crimes commits
sion, but it is felt that this Will not
be sufficient to secure the arrest of
the criminal.
Dr. w. j. Williams of Pembroke ad-
Gambler yesterday morning. DR.. Will
liams had something to say of the
heinous and fearful character of the
crime that had been committed and of
the escape of the criminal He ex
cused his Interference in a matter that
is more particularly the concern of
the Sheriff by saying that Sheriff
Shuman lived on the other side Of the
county and it would probably be
day or two before he was in position
to concern himself actively III the APP
prehension of the criminal
1t is hoped that Gov. Gambler will
offer the reward, because it is believed
that in no other way will the arrest
of the criminal be effected. The idea
is. that Wise will have managed to get
far away from the scene of the crimes
commission and that by the offer of
the reward some of his companions
will be induced to disclose the place of
his concealment and surrender him to
the police or other officers of the law.
Wise is described as a tall, black
negro, six feet, two inches in hight
and weighing probably $50 pounds. He
is slenderly built and has a head that
is too small for his size. The eplthet
'hatchet-faced" describes him exactly.
There is prominent projection on the
rear of his head.
Wise is said to have a wife in Daisy,
Ga, and it is hoped and believed he
will move in that direction. He comes
from Hampton county, South Carolina,
and that section is also being watched.
If the Governor offers the reward he
is being requested to offer, it is believ-
ed the arrest of tn ravishr will be a
matter of a few days only.
Should he be captured the services
of the military will probably 9e found
necessary. The people living III the
neighborhood of the crimes commits
sion are wild with rage and there is no
doubt that should Wise be captured an
effort will be made to take him from
the custody of the officers of the law
him,
