1-year-old babe by her side and her
husband away delivering milk, Mrs.
Elsie T Biddle, the young wife Of
Charles Biddle, a farmer living along
the Ranches road near here, was the
victim of criminal assault and rob
berry by three negroes to-day and to-
night a man hunt is in progress
throughout the surrounding country.
Hundreds of men armed with all sorts
of weapons, are in pursuit of the per-
petrators.
Mrs. Biddle recognized one of the
men as Aaron Timbers who was re-
Gently released from the Jamesbury
reform school. The second man is
said to be a well known negro char
acter and the third an unknown farm
hand. Pursuers caught up twice with
the negroes. and two of them are be-
lieved to have been wounded.
Late this afternoon two negro sus-
poets were brought to the Burlington
jail. AT the lookup a large crowd had
assembled and threatened to lynch
them. It was with much difficulty that

Mrs. Biddle was washing the break
fast dishes, when she heard a knock
at the door. Responding to the call,
she was confronted bv three masked
negroes, one of whom she is sure
was Timbers This man held a re-
volver to her head and demanded her
money. She protested she had Moth
ing, to which Timbers, who had been
employed on the farm. and knew the
family. replied that she lied and that
money was on the second floor.
Leaving one man on guard the other
two forced Mrs. Biddle TO go up stairs
and secure the money. Under cover
OF the revolver she produced $13. The
negroes found a watch which they re-
turned on her plea that it was given
to her by her mother.
The negro who was on guard was
called upstairs and Mrs. Biddle's hands
were tied behind her and two hand
kerchiefs stuffed in her mouth. With
a revolver pointed at her head Mrs
Biddle was assaulted by each Of the

THERE WILL BE
SOME CHANGES
NEW FACES FOR SAVANNAH
J. KENNEDY WAS, INDEFINITELY
SUSPENDED YESTERDAY.

Refused to Observe Rules Pertain
ing to the Conduct of Players on
the FieId-Had Been Warned Time
and AGain-RhOdes. IA New Infield-
err from Lancaster. Penn. Will Be
Here in Time for TO-day's Gnme.
May He Several other Changes.
The first suspension for an indefinite
period in the South Atlantic League
occurred yesterday when ]. Kennedy
was suspended.
When the announcement was made
there was general wonderment, Ken
nedy's work having shown such i'm
provement recently. with the exception
of a few off days.
The suspension is directly the result
of Kennedy's refusal to observe the
general rules regarding the conduct of
players off the field, and his refusal to
pay any attention TO the warnings
given him.
Capt. Mullaney said last night that
he had done all he could to make Ken
nedy a valuable asset to the team, but
his total disregard of certain rules re-
garding players off the field, and the
severe criticisms made by the patrons
of the game made it absolutely neces-
sary that he be suspended.
view Man Is Coming.
Just as he was commencing to show
much improvement Kennedy went all
to pieces again and his cratic play
ing came at critical moments. He
was recognized as one Of the most
capable infelders in the league, when
he played up to his limit. but he had
too many off days.
Owner Boyer received telegram last
night stating that Infielder Rhodes
from Lancaster, Penn, would be in
Savannah to-day, possibly in time Tor
to-day's game
Mr.. Boyer made careful investga-
ton of Rhodes record before he sign
ed him, as he has had so many dis
appointments, and he feels certain he
has secured a good man.
RumOrs of Recruitment
There were many rumors current yes
terday to the effect that the entire
team resented the suspension of Ken
nedy. These proved to be unfounded .
Not man on the team feels that he
mas not Deen treated with the utIloSl
consideration by Owner Boyer. In
several instances salaries have been
raised without application, and all of
the men are satisfied.
It is true that several members of
the team have complained of Capt.
Mullaney's severe manner when they
made blunders or bad errors.
Much dead wood is being carried on
the team now. and unless there is a
decided change in a few days some of
the members who can play and refuse
TO do so will have a suspension attach
ed to their contracts, which means that
they cannot sign with any other team
even If they have an opportunity.
