FARMER ROBBED
OF LARGE SUM
SATcHEL WITH $500 STOLEN.
JOHN WHITE. OF SYLVANIA.
ROBBED IN SAVANNAH LIQUOR co.

Had just Put Money in SatcheI and
Left store for Few Minutes-When
He Returned Both SatcheI and
Money Had Misrepresentation
Took Place in Broad Daylight.
Detectives at Work ON Case, but
Have no Clue as to Identity of
Thief.
A satchel containing over $500. the
property of John White of Sylvania,
Ca, was stolen from the store Of the
Savannah Liquor Company, on St.
Julian street, between Whitaker and
Barnard, early yesterday. afternoon.
The money had been placed in the
satchel only a few minutes before it
was stolen. and the thief must have
seen Mr.. White when he put it there.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice, and Detective Stark is working on
the case, but so far absolutely no clue
as to the identity of the thief has been
discovered The store from which the
satchel was taken runs through the
block, and it seems likely that the
thief entered in the rear. Only one
clerk and the porter were in the store
at the time the money was stolen. and
neither of these can throw any light
on the case.
Had Over 81 500.
Mr.. White came to Savannah during
the morning and sold a lot of cot
ton. in payment for which he received
over $1,SO0. He is a prosperous farmer
near Sylvania, and had come to Sa-
vannah to collect his money and pay
off a number of debts that he owed
here. When he received the money
nah Liquor Company to deposit some
of the money in the safe, the proprietor,
s. II. Leyser, being a friend.
He put 81 900 of the money in the
safe and kept over $500 to pay debts
with. The $500 he put back in his
pocket and left the store, leaving his
satchel there. The satchel remained
in the store until early in the afternoon.
Thief Probably watching.
At that time, Mr.. White returned to
the Savannah Liquor Company and
found his satchel in place He had
decided in the meanwhile to go to the
circus. He wanted to go to hardware
store on BorughtOn street for a few
minutes and placed the large sum of
money in the satchel before leaving.
He then left the satchel where it
had been all the morning and went
to the hardware store. He was not
gone over ten or fifteen minutes but
when he returned the satchel could
not be found anywhere. Detective
Stark is still busy on the case. The
thief may yet be caught and the mon
ey recovered, but the chances are
against it. The 81 900 which was put
in the safe is, of course, still there.
