NEGRO STOLE cow
FROM DALE ESTATE.
Was Arrested and the Cow Has Been
Recovered.


Charged with stealing a COW from
the Dale estate. Henry Johnson, a ne
gro, was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Detective J. ]. Murphy.
The COW was stolen last Thursday
from the country place of the late j.
j. Dale and sold Friday to Mrs. j. NJ.
Mock, at Thirty-third and Lincoln
streets. The COW was recovered. Mrs.
Mock, who had bought it in good faith,
readily consented to give it up. She
is out just $50 by the transaction. that
being the price she paid for the cow.
1t is probable, however. that Mrs.
Mock will recover the money. When
the negro tried to sell her the COW, she
refused to buy it unless he would bring
some white man with him to prove
that the COW belonged to him. This
Johnson did and the white man will
probably have to refund her the money
she paid.
The COW is a fine one, worth much
more than what the negro sold her
for. Johnson will be given a hearing
before the Recorder, either to-day or
Saturday.

WANTED TO GIVE
HIS MONEY AWAY.
Drunken Man Believed He Was Co
ing to BE Hanged.

ing to BE Hanged
Trying his best to give away a large
roll of money. because he thought he
was going to be hanged, William Bird
of Stillnore. while crazy drunk, fur
nished amusement for a crowd of about
fifty in the Pulaski House lobby last
night, until officers could arrive ana
take him in charge.
He was carried TO the police station
and locked up. still protesting that he
was going to be hanged and that
money could do him no good Just
what he was to be hanged for. he dld
not very clearly explain. The hang
ing was about TO come off at Mllleu,
he said, so he came on to savannah.
Bird created quite a sensation by his
appearance at the hotel.
Here, take this money he said 10
first one man and then another. They
are going to hang me, and it won't do
me any good
No one took the money and he then
tried to give it to the hotel clerk.
Meanwhile quite crowd collected and
a telephone message was sent to po-
lice headquarters, stating that a CRAZY
man was in the Pulaski House. Pa
trolmen Meldrim and Cohen hurried to
the scene in the patrol wagon and took
Bird in charge.
He was at once recognized by the Of
fiCers as a regular customer at the pO-
lice station almost every time he comes
to Savannah. He has been arrested
several times before, twice for using
his pistol while intoxicated. The last
two or three times he has been ar
rested. no pistol has been found on
him.
While the officers were searching him,
he talked continually about being
hanged When the money was taken
from him. he said; That's right. I
tried to get that man at the hotel 20
take it. 1t won't do me no good. Still,
it would go to my heirs, only l haven't
got any"
Bird appeared to have been drinking
for some time.

OTHERS SECURED
LEONARD MONEY
M'KENNA AND M'NEILL GOT IT.
THEY PUT UP THE SECURITY FOR
LEONARD.

Alderman j. II. McT[ennR Was Re
turned $1,000 and MIR. Lawrence
Mcneil $4,000, the Amounts Each
Had Put UP-AIderman Dixon, as
Chairman of the Finance Commit
tee, Made out the Vouchers for
the Money.
Contractor S. S. Leonard did not get
she money that Council Wednesday
night voted TO refund to him.
1t was yesterday morning returned
to the men who had backed Leonard in
his effort to build the new city Hall
Alderman J. H. McKenna received
the 5000 he had put up, and Mr..
Lawrence Mcneil the $500 with
which he was backing Leonard.
The wording of the resolution that
Council passed to give the money back
was peculiar and at once suggested
the idea that Leonard's hackers, and
not the contractor himself, would get
the money.
The resolution provided that the
money be paid to Leonard or his writ
ten order. This last appeared super
fuOus, but at once suggested the idea
that the money was being returned to
Leonards hackers.
The receipt from Leonard and his
written order to pay the money to Al
derman McKenna and Mr.. Mcneil
were presented to Alderman Dixon,
chairman Of the Finance Committee,
who had been empowered TO pay out
the money for the city. Alderman Dix
on made out the vouchers on the city
treasurer and turned them over to the
parties Interested
Alderman McKenna and Attorney
Robert L. Coldng called at the office
of Acting Mayor Dixon at 1890 o'clock
and got the voucher for the $4,000 that
Alderman McKenna had put up. AL
derman Dixon sent word to Mr.. Nc
Neill that the voucher for his portion
of the money was ready and later III
the day it was turned over to him.
The paying of the money to the men
who let Leonard have it, instead of to
him, occasioned no comment, although
the money was deposited with the city
in Ieonard's name. 1t was generally
supposed that the money had been put
up by others.

Collins Medical Bits.
Although Alderman Grayson, the
chairman of the Police Committee, OPP
posed the report that his committee
presented to Council Wednesday night
in regard to the physicians bill of Pa
trolman Collins, who was shot in the
Mayors office, it was not because he
opposed making the donation.
He really favored a larger donation,
and his opposition was based on the
belief that the city was not giving
enough. The same was true of AL
derman Oliver. Both of these aldermen
fought hard in caucus to get 5000 pass
ed for the bills, instead of the $3.50 that
was given.
