Considerable
Excitement
Created in Crowley by a
Former
1berian. Whitney Burrows.
Iberian. Whitney Burrows.

Considerable excitement was
created on Fifth street Wednes
day night by the insane threats of
a young man by the name Of
Whitney Burrows to kill bis moth
er. The attention Of the neigh
bOrs. was at first attracted to the
Burrows home by a loud noise and
threatening remarks made by the
young man and several residents
of the vicinity went to the home
to enquire the cause They found
the boy in a maniacal rage brand
ishing pair of sissors and de.
claring he was under the necessi
of killing his mother and brother
to save his own life. He was I'M
contrOllable for some time, but Fl
nally was induced to 90 to bed
and slept till morning. His first
thought on waking, however, was
to carry out his murderous design.
He became exceedingly violent and
neighbOrs again interfered and
restrained him until the officers
could be summoned. He is now
in the parish jail and will be kept
IN confinement until further devel-
opments.
Burrows is about fifteen years
of age and has always been a
quiet intelligent boy up to about
six weeks ago. when his fathers
death occurred. Grief for his
father seems to have unbalanced
his mind and he has not been
right since. His hallucination
seems to be that mis- mother and
elder brother are cOnspiring to
murder him and that he must kill
them to save his own life
Local physicians have under
taken the treatment of the case
and hope, bp keeping dim seclud-
ed from familiar scenes and giving
him perfect quiet, to restore his
mind to it's normal condition.
Crowley Signal.
The young man, Burrows, is
well known in this city having re
sided here with his parents until
some two years ago. Later re-
ports from Crowley are to the ef
feet that the young mans condi-
ton is very much improved and a
complete recovery is looked for.

ARRANGEMENTS FINALLY MADE
FOR NEW YEARS GAME
Savannah Would Like to See Charleston Plav
the Entire Clemson Team

1t has been finally decided that the
Savannah football team will go TO
Charleston New Years Day, at which
time the championship of the South
will be decided.
Treasurer Frank McIntire received
a telegram from Manager Katie of
the Charleston team yesterday, stating
that he would guarantee the expenses
of the Savannah team, or so per cent.
of the gate receipts, and would post a
certified check for $3.50 as a guarantee.
Manager Klatte was at once wired
that this was satisfactory to the Sa-
vannah team, and preparations for the
game were renewed by the Savannah
boys.
A gentleman from Charleston stated
that he did not believe there would be
more than four Clemson men on the
team, but that he knew of other out
side material that the team had got
ten. From this 1t seems that in spite
of the protestations that have been
made by the papers over home," the
team which will meet the blue and
white will not be made up of Charles
ton men entirely.

NOTES

In a good game of football yester-
day afternoon in the Bolton Street
Park the Young Roarers kept up their
reputation by defeating the Young Sa-
vannahs. The latter team was picked
up right before the game began
and had no practice and, therefore,
lost to a team, though not better in
dividually played together more, and
won by the score of % to 5. If any,
thing, the Young SaYannahs line was
the stronger, and only a few gains
of no consequence was made through
it. Three of the winners touchdowns
was made around end on end around
end plays and the other on an end
through end play. The best playing
for the winners was done by Trapini,
Cowan, Webb and Turner, and that for
the losers by Gaudry. Gaudry scored
their only touchdown by a plunge
through the Roarers' left line.
Though not yet settled, 1t is prob
able that an all-Marks team may meet
the Lawton Cadets on New Years Day.
The lineup of the Marks League team
will be the same that was picked in
the Morning News.
The Crescents, a junior team averag-
ing ninety pounds, and the Young Ben
edictine College team will meet in a
game of football Jan. 9.
Capt. Jim Hogan of Yale has gone
to spend a few days with some friends
in Alabama. 1t is probable that he
will witness the Savannah Charleston
game.

AS was agreed at first the Savannah
team will line up just as it has in all
OF the games played this season. If
any fear existed here as to the result
IL would be an easy matter to impress
the services of two or three of the best
football players in America. Capt.
Hogan of Yale, Capt. Lyman of Cor
nell, Sidney Stubs of the Yale crew,
who would have been on the Yale
team, but for injuries, Capt. Joe Kill
lorin of the University of Georgia, all
are in savannah, and their addition
to the team would make it as strong
as could be wished. Even with these
additions, however, Capt. Cope says
he does not think the Savannah team
would be so largely benefited, as all of
the savannah men are thoroughly ia
miliar with each others style of play,
and the team work would be impaired
by the addition of new men this late
in the day.
The Savannah men are anxious for
Charleston to have sall the Clemson
men that they can get, and would real
ly prefer playing the entire Clemson
team just to test their relative
strength.
Great preparations are being made
by Savannahians to go over to wit
ness the game, and the indications are
that over 500 people will go from here

WANTS DEEP WATER.

st. Petersburg Times: After long de-
lay and neglect both on the part of
our own people and our representative
in Congress. a bill has been introduced
in that body providing for a survey
of the harbor of st. Petersburg-the
first step in the process of obtaining
an appropriation for harbor improve
ments. There can be no doubt of the
success of the bill, if Congressman
Sparkman really intends it to be passed;
and there is no doubt that survey
and investigation by the government
engineers Will result in a recommends
ton of the necessary work: so that a
deep water harbor for st. Petersburg
may now be considered to be actually
on the way.
