MARSHAL DREESON FOUND
1871 AWNINGS TOO LOW.

Owners Given Until March T. to
Raise Them to Required Hight.
City Marshal Dreeson has found ISL
awnings in Savannah that are below
seven feet, the hight required by a city
ordinance. the owners have been noti-
fed, and given until March to raise
the awnings. This is the second and
last warning that will be given, the
marshal says.
Some of the awnings were found to
be as low as feet and 6 inches. All
awnings that are not raised by March
l will be reported and the owners will
be placed on the docket. The marshal
found very few business men who were
not perfectly willing to comply with
the city ordinance. The violations of
the ordinance he says has been unin-
territorial, and was caused by the igno-
rance of the law. All awnings erected
in the future must be granted per-
NIT by the city marshal.

THE POLICE HAVE BEEN
OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED.

The superintendent of police was Of
ficially notified yesterday of the COM
plant made to Council of the opening
of stores on Sunday on West Broad
street, and also the sale of goods by
pawn brokers, which were not unre-
deemed pledges. When asked about the
matter yesterday the superintendent of
police said:
BY the directions of the Mayor the
officers have been given instructions to
keep close watch and see to it that
stores that it is alleged are open on
Sundays, are closed on these days, and
that the law is not violated.
THE same order applies to pawn
brokers who are alleged to be guilty
of selling anything but unredeemed
pledges

WILL TRY PAWNBROKER
FOR ALLEGED SWINDLE.
Said to Have Sold Practically
Worthless Pawn Tickets.

S. F. Cassell, a Savannah pawn
broker, will be tried in the City Court
this morning by Judge Norwood on
five charges of cheating and swim
ding.
The scheme which Cassen is alleged
to have worked so successfully is a
clever one, which found ready takers.
The complainants assert that he would
fill out tickets for comparatively large
amounts, purporting to represent a
loan made on a watch. Cassell would
then employ a number of negroes to
go out on the streets and sell the tick
cts.
Owing to the fact that 1t is well
known that pawnbrokers seldom loan
more than one-third to one-half of the
real value of the article pledged, peo-
pie bought the tickets, thinking to
make a bargain. When the tickets
were presented at Cassell's shop the
goods on which they were supposed to
have been issued were found to be
practically worthless.
Besides this case there are a num-
Der of smaller and less important ones
which are to be disposed of. The
great majority are on charges of lar
ceny.

CONVICT TOOK POISON
AND NEARLY DIED.
"BiE Kid" Brought Back from
ThOmasviIIe by Chief Sweeny.

"BiE Kid" Brought Back from
ThOmasviIIe by Chief sweeny.
After a strenuous experience Chief
Deputy Sheriff T. j. Sweeny returned
from Thomasville yesterday morning,
bringing with him big Kid" a convict.
Big Kids right name is Marshall john
son, with several aliases. and he was
wanted by the authorities to finish serv-
ing a torn on the county chaingang.
Big Kid" is we'll known among. the
county officials. and he has devious
ways of eluding them. He was serv-
ing two-year term on the county
changing, stationed at the Fair
Grounds. when he had fit, and was
transferred to the sick ward at the
changing. He made his escape a few
hours later. But it was his latest ruse
that came very near costing him his
life
big Kid" was captured at Thomas
Vile several days ago and the author
tiles here were notified. Chief Deputy
Sweeny went to Townsville for the
prisoner, and found on his arrival that
big Kid" had been at his old tricks.
He emphaticaily denied his Identity,
and when Deputy Sweeny arrived on
the scene he was berating the officers
iOt lbthiIi6 w an liillJItiiI HAIL. anu
one whom they knew nothing about.
AS soon as he saw the Chatham county
officer big Kid" quoted down like a
lamb.
When Deputy Sweeny started from
Thomasville with his prisoner he had
all kinds of trouble. At first big
Kid" said he was too sick to travel,
and a doctor was sent for. The negro
had taken a dose of poison which he
had hid about his person, and when
the man of medicine arrived big Kid"
was at the point of death from an over
dose of morphine.
A stomach pump was hastily secured
and he was relieved of the poison. The
convict protested that he was too i'll
to travel, and begged Chief Sweeny to
let him stay away a few days longer
until he had more rest.
II amt use to no such work as they
make me do out at the gang" he said,
"En Mr.. Sweeny | jess can't stand it.
Lemme stay here until gifts square.
But Mr.. Sweeny knew big Kid"
and he will be sent out to finish his
term as soon as the court has imposed
an additional sentence for escaping.
