Had Befriended Him.

Harry Jones' young white man
at the instance of United States Dis
trict Attorney Leaken, who was noti-

theft of a bicycle from the man who
has cared for him since he has been
in Savannah.
Jones was sent to "Seamen's Bethel

ton from Washington as to his dis
position. While there Jones told a
weird story of how he was drugged
and taken aboard a vessel in Phila-
delphia, and he quickly enlisted the
sympathy of all around him. Several
days ago Rev. H. Iverson, who has
charge of the home, missed his bicycle
and he at once notified the police. De-
tective Bostick traced the wheel to a
pawn shop yesterday and found that
it had been pawned by Jones, who was
arrested and lodged in the barracks
Attorney Leaken was also advised
Saturday that there was witness on
the steamship Hamberton coming into
this port which the government au-
thorities were anxious to get, as he
was wanted to testify in a case in
Port Townsend. Saturday afternoon
Inspector Neidlinger, representing the
collector of customs, was sent down
to Tybee and Phillip Grouse, the man
wanted. was taken from aboard the
ship, and brought to the city on the
government launch Tybee. Attorney
Leaken is waiting for information
from Washington as to the DISPOSE
ton of Grouse, and also Jones, as soon
as the local courts have finished with

House Last NiEht-Sheppard Died
Monday Morning, but Police Were
in Ignorance Until Yesterday.
Quite by accident yesterday morning
Lieutenant of Police Walter Fleming
learned of the death of Augustus Shep-
pard, negro, at the Georgia Infirmary
Monday. Last night Henry Glover,
colored, was taken from the convict
camp at the Fair Grounds by Detec-
tives Murphy and Wall, and is held at
the police station house on a charge
of murder.
Early on the morning of Oct. 4 Glover
broke a bottle over the head of Shep-
pard. and it is believed that this blow
caused the death of the negro The
body will be exhumed under the direc-
ton of Coroner Keller and postmor-
tenn examination will be held. II 1t
is determined that Sheppards death
was due to a fracture of the SKULL as
is believed. an inquest will be held and
the responsibility will be fixed. The
remains were buried before the author
tiles knew of the negro's death.
The trouble between Glover and
Sheppard occurred in Thirtyfifth lane.
near Price street, and was investigated
by Recorder Myrick in Police Court.
The prosecutor was able to appear
against his assailant, who was re-
manded for trial in the CITY Court LOT
CARRYING a concealed weapon and Tor
assault. When the cases were again
called Sheppard was in the hospital
and the assault case was not tried
Glover was sentenced for carrying
concealed weapon. Had he been trled
for assault he could not have been re-
arrested and tried for murder. In the
opinion of prominent lawyers.
Glover had been living in the same
house with Sheppard and a woman
named Lizzie Stewart. and it was at
this house that the ARRAY occurred.
Glover tried to get in during the early
morning hours and Sheppard went TO
the window. The old man refusal 10
omen the door for Glover. and In a NJ
of passion Glover broke a bottle over
his head, through the window. Inc
assault was witnessed by the woman
who testified against Glover IN potn
cases. The defendant declared that
the prosecutor was armed with pls-
toll. and was about to shoot him, when
he used the bottle. This statement was
refuted by both Sheppard ana the
woman,
Chained to more than a score of other
prisoners, in one of the buildings at
the fair grounds last night, Glover
was surprised when taken in charge by
the plain clothes men. He was not in
formed of the death of Sheppard until
he had been landed in the police sta
ton house. The police authorities are
considerably exercised over the fact
that Sheppard died at the intirmary,
and that the matter was not reported
at police headquarters. 1t was stated
at the hospital that the negro died
from paralysis.

When Negro Went To Pay Water
Rent Discovery Was Made.

negro the city was yesterday able to
make out a case in Police Court
against James Furlong. plumber, and
a fine of $25 or thirty days was i'm
posed by Recorder Myrick.
Several days ago the negro called
upon the city treasurer and stated that
he wanted to pay his water rent. His
name was not found on the books and
he was told that he did not owe the
city anything for water The old man
insisted that he was using the city s
water and that he had not paid water
rent since the connection was made
several months ago.
He was requested to furnish the
name of the plumber who had connect
ed his pipes with the city's mains and
produced a receipt from Furlong, who
had done the work. The old man ex-
planned that the plumber was doing
some work in the neighborhood and
that he employed him at that time to
make the connection. The connection
was made without any permit from
the city and it was for this violation
that Furlong was fined.

RICE CROP HARD HIT
BY COOL SEPTEMBER.

Yield Per Acre Only Half of What
Had Been Expected.
The rice crop of the Savannah dis
trict and, for that matter, of the whole
Atlantic coast district, win not be
more than one-half its normal size.
This is the statement of Mr.. w. G..
MOrrell, who says that. though in Au-
gust the stands of rice in this vicinity
were excellent, giving promise of an
exceptionally large crop, yet the cool
nights of September caused the grain
to fall from the stalk so that, though
the fields appear to be in good con-
dition, yet when the rice has gone
through the mill it is found that where
a yield of forty to forty-five bushels to
the acre was expected, the actual
amount secured is just about half.
More than half the crop has already
been harvested and marketed.
