WORK OF F00TPADS.
James Collins Was Struck Insensi-
bic and Robbed.

Augusta, May 1.-THE insensible
body of James Collins, a resident of
North Augusta, was discovered to-day
about fifty yards from the highway,
secreted in the tangled underground.
At first he was supposed to be dead,
but signs of life were discovered,
medical aid was summoned and he was
revived.
He had been waylaid and robbed
while going up North Augusta hill late
Saturday night, and his insensible
body dragged into the woods and left
for dead. A pool of blood on the road
side. where he was first knocked
down, and the track made by his as
sailants in dragging his body across
the road to the woods on the opposite
side led to the discovery.
When Collins revived he said he was
going home from Augusta about II
O'Clock Saturday night, and after he
left the Augusta and Aiken railroad,
at the foot of the hill and got around
a bend in the road, two white men at
tackled him.
He was una rmed and tried to break
away and escape. AS he reached the
other side of the road he was knocked
down and remembers no more.
His watch was in the repair shop,
but the chain and $3.50 in money and
his coat, vest and hat were stolen.
Two white men, Tom Yohe and Jeff
Morris, were suspected by the police,
and 1t was decided to arrest them. As
Officer Getzen approached them in
Hamburg, S. c., this afternoon Morris
ran and Yohe. drew his pistol Getzen
Immediately fired, and his bullet
struck Yohes pistol, knocking it out of
his hand, and he was arrested.
There is no evidence against the men
except their general character. When
their room was searched sixteen bot
ties of whisky were found, showing
they were running a blind tiger. A
whisky bottle found near the uncon-
scious body of Collins is said to have
been identified by an Augusta saloon
keeper as like one sold to Morris Sat
urday evening
Collins injuries, though serious, are
not dangerous. He was unconscious
about eight hours.

The passing from earth last week
of DR.. Louis Knorr must awaken
flood of memories among the older resi-
dents of Savannah, for a decade ago
the name of DR.. Knorr was house
hold word in many homes-and the
man himself stood prominently before
the public, not only because of his skill
as a physician, but because of the
strength, nobility and beauty of his pri-
vate character. In the medical profess
sion as in no other are those traits
most necessary, and into the field he
had chosen for his life work he brought
all the subtle sympathy and the love
of humanity which was the distin-
gushing characteristic of the Great
Healer Himself.
Dr. Knorr was a striking example Of
that class of physicians which is fast
dying out-he was in very truth the
family DOCTOR" and no ill was too
trivial, no suffering too slight to merit
his ready attention. He has stood at
his post of duty in the homes of the
humblest as we'll as of the highest.
During the long months of pestilence
he was ever ready at the call of hui
mainly and he gave freely of his skill

beside the trembling souls and feeble
bodies of those entering or leaving thu,
eternal battle-ground" of life, How.
many has he led along the broad high
way of health, conquering disease and
himself fighting half of the battle for
his patients!
During recent years he had retired
from active practice, and so quietly
did he live that there are many in Sa-
vannah who did not even know that
the flame of life still burned steadily
for him. But he was never idle-scien-
tiie studies and gratuitous practice
filled his days. Many a time was he
known to walk five or six miles into
the country to treat some poor laborer
and his family who were too poor or
too ignorant to procure medical aid.
1t was we'll known that DR.. Knorr was
a pioneer along lines of thought for
which the world is not yet ready, but
the time may yet come when the many
will recognize the truth for which only
the few continually seek. He knows
at last the answer to the eternal ques-
lions which "vex the heart of whence
