Police Thought That a Burglar Haa
Been Caught by Citizen.
Startling information was conveyed
to police headquarters last night to
the effect that a burglar had been
captured in a house on Gwinnett
street.
Detectives Davis and Bostick were
detailed to go for the burglar, and in
very short time the patrol wagon
was making a record trip to the resi-
dence of Mr.. A. B. Simpson of No. lis
Gwinnett street. east. AS the patrol
wagon drove up Mr. Simpson appear
ed at the door leading the alleged
burglar, who was promptly taken in
charge by the detectives. The prisoner
proved to be Arthur Hearn, aged is
years, white.
Mr.. Simpson stated to the detectives
that the boy had been captured in the
act of robbing his garden in the real
OF his residence. Two other boys who
were in the garden with the prisoner
had made their escape
For several days Mr.. Simpson had
noticed that his garden was being
robbed and the limbs of the trees
broken, and the flowers in the garden
torn up. Last night he turned down
the lights and statoning himself in the
garden awaited developments.
He had not been watching long when
he saw three boys climb over the
fence. Waiting until the boys were
at work, Mr.. Simpson ,swooped down
up on them. When caught the boy hat
his pockets full of green plums. After
being locked up at the police station
for an hour the boys father secured
his release. The case will be called il
the Recorders Court this morning.
Mr.. Simpson stated that the deprc-
dations of a gang of boys who have
been operating along Gwinnett street
has become serious. He had one of
the finest gardens in the city, and has
witnessed its despoilation by boys. The
garden of Mr.. J. S. Woods, on the same
street, has suffered similarly. 1t is
the intention of Mr.. Simpson to prose-
cute the case

WHY WESLEY OAK STUMP v----.--A".
WAS BURIED BY RAIL WAY
Manager Nash Explains Something That Was
PuZZlns Public.

why did the Savannah Electric COM
ak stump?
That was the question that every
me was asking yesterday in connection
With the Thunderbolt track row. 1t
vas understood why the stump was
lug up. 1t was in the way of the
Few tracks that were being built.
1t was understood why the town of
Warsaw stopped the work. 1t was be-
cause the officers claimed the company
was taking up a portion OF the drive
way
The company contended the ground
being used was on the side of the drive
way and left as wide a drive as was
on any other portion of the bluff Be
sides. the company said, it had per-
NIT to do the work.
But the officials of Thunderbolt con-
tended the work was being done with
out authority. Consequently the Mayor
had the town marshal get a gang of
men and tore up the newly layed track.
All of this was understood. The stump
burial proposition was one too many
however.
After being asked about the matter
more than score of times yesterday,
a reporter finally went to the office
of the manager of the company.
Company Wanted Dirt.
"Mr. Nash. will you please tell me
why you buried that stump"
why, it was in our way" was the
reply.
Yes, know you dug 1t up because
it was in your way, but why did you
bury ft?'
Needed the dirt" was the laconic
answer.
THE dirt?

cisiOn the Place Is a Park But

ever.
Is it a violation of city ordinance to
drive across Emmett Park now?
The court has said it is a park, but
has provided for driveway. The
driveway is not there. however, and
matters are somewhat complicated.
This is the question in brief submit
ted to Col. William Garrard. the city
attorney, by the superintendent Of po-
lice in letter which was written yes
terday. Trucks loaded with lumber
were seen driving across the park yes
terday morning. A patrolman imme-
diately telephoned to headquarters.
"Shall arrest them?" he asked. aft
er giving an account of his observa-
tons.
Police Were In Doubt.
There was doubt at the other end OF
the phone and the superintendent was
called and the matter laid before him.
1t was no easy question and it was
decided to submit it to the legal ad-
wiser of the city, before any action
should be taken.
Make a note of where the wagons
drive and find out who they belong to
and report" were the instructions
given.
The superintendent then addressed n
letter to the city attorney. 1t was
related that a report had been made
that trucks loaded with lumber and
other articles had crossed Emmett Park
at Lincoln street, on the northern side,
and had gone as far as Price street.
waiting ON City Attorney.
Col Garrard was asked to please adj
wise if there had been a violation of
the city ordinances since the recent
decision. His reply will be awaited
with interest.
The wagons in question, according to
The Savannah morning news., 1904-05-28

the report made by the officer, belong
ed to A S. Bacon & Sons.
A feature of the affair was the in
terest displayed by Mr.. p. d. Daftin,
the chairman of the Park and Tree
Commission, who recently obtained
permission from the Mayor to move
some Office furniture across the green.
Mr.. Daffin called up police headquar-
tiers to know if an arrest had been

COLONIAL DANES MEMBERSHIP.

AS a notice has appeared in one of
the Washington papers, stating that
the Council of tho National Society of
the Colonial Danes of America, which
recently met in Washington. had dis
cussed a resolution providing that no
member of it's sister society should be
eligible to membership in the Society
of Colonial Danes of America, the pres
idont and secretary of the National So
Ciety of the Colonial Danes of America
has sent out a statement that the re-
port is, utterly without foundation; that
the president, the secretary, and many
of the other officers of the National So
ciety of Colonial Danes Of America
are members of the Society of the
Daughters of the American Revolution;
that the latter society was not referred
to in any way in the Council, nor was
any such action even remotely contem-
plated.

YES, the dirt. The dirt that came
out of the hole we buried the stump
in," he replied.
Mr.. Nash then went on to explain
that in leveling the tracks it was
found that quite an amount of dirt was
needed To have hauled the dirt from
a distance would have cost a consid-
cradle sum. he said. Therefore. the
stump was buried, and the dirt that
came out of the hole was used.
Ordered Dirt Moved Away.
There were no developments in the
Thunderbolt track case during the day.
except that the authorities notified Mr.
Nash his men had left a pile of dirt in
the road and that it must be moved.
1t was probably the dirt that came out
Of the grave of the stump but Mr..
Nash failed to explain whether this
was the case or not. When notified
he sent men out and had the dirt NOV
ed.
Manager Nash contends that it was
understood all along that the company
was to lay the double tracks further
down towards the Casino. The condi-
tons were that the company should
conform to the level of the driveway
and cover what filing in had to be done
with shells, he says. He claims this
was done.
Must Go on River Side.
The town people say they don't OBJ
ject to the double tracks but that the
additional track must be put on the riv-
er side and not narrow the driveway.
Mr.. Nash claims putting the track on
the other side does not narrow the
driveway and says the grass growing
on the ground that was being used
will show that ii had never been used
for driving.
There was no conference yesterday
between the company and the town au-
thorities so no agreement has been
reached.

Marshfeld, Wis, Oct. 29.-As a re-
suit Of the fractional fight between the
republicans of this state one Of the bit
terest political campaigns ever waged
in Wood county is at it's zenith. At the
republican county convention in this
city the stalwarts were beaten by the
halfbreeds so thoroughly that they did
not secure a single representative on
the county ticket and in their fury they
bolted the convention when resolutions
were read indorsing the administration
of Governor La Toilette. ~
This act was taken as a declaration
that the war in state politics would be
carried into county politics and today
stalwarts and democrats are united to
headed by Governor La Toilette.
The only stalwart paper in the county
that has not joined the halfbreed side
since the late supreme court decision is
the Marshfeld Times, which voices the
sentiments of Ex-Governor Upham of
this city and a score more of lumber
men who employ many men. If these
lumbermen can control the votes OF
their employees the county may be car
ried by the democrats.

followed and have been found to have
registered in four, five and six places.
The one case already taken up Is that
of repeater now in the county jail
who gave his name in one place as Sim
mons, living in the Morier block, and In
another as Smalley, with q residence IN
the Baltimore block. There are ten
others against whom positive evidence
has been obtained.

cation from Dakota recently arrived
