MOL PROSE- CASE
AGAINST TILLMANS.
Similar Action in Cases Against
Three Negroes.


In the Superior Court yesterday
nolle prosequis were entered in the
cases against Jack Tillman and Jas
per Tillman, charged with assault with
intent to murder. The alleged assault
was committed on Joel A. Dickerson,
a resident of the BLACK Ankle" dis
trict.
Levy Tillman, brother of Jasper
and son of Jack Tilman, was tried
earlier in the week, and a verdict of
not guilty found. AS the case against
Levy Tillman was the strongest of the
three, Solicitor Osborne decided not
to push the other cases.
Nolle prosequis were also entered in
the cases against Willie Bland, Willie
Ferrebee and Willie Jenkins, charged
with the murder of Wylly Jones' col
cred on last Christmas morning. Wal
ter Lloyd, who was indicted with the
three named above, was found guilty
on Wednesday and sentenced to life
imprisonment. The cases against the
other three negroes were, therefore,
dropped.

WITH BASEBALL BAT
DOG WAS KILLED
Alderman McKenna's Canine Exc.
cuted by officer.

Alderman McKenna's Canine Exc
cuted by officer.
With a swipe that would have made
Dominick Mullaney look like a chicken
with the pip, Patrolman Sam Halfoid
and baseball hat put supposed mad
dog out of commission yesterday morn
ing.
1t was at the request of Mrs. 7. H.
McKenna that the CANNES suffering
was ended by the big uniformed man.
The dog was owned by Alderman Me.
Kenna, and was in the yard on Charl-
ton street. when Patrolman Halford
was called upon TO do the work OF
slaughter.
The dog had fit of some sort and
Mrs. McKenna was afraid it would get
out of the yard and bite some one. She
had the doors locked and the windows
down when the officer was called in
The dog had become wedged between
two old bathtuhs, and was kicking like
the Russians at Port Arthur to get
out of the trap.
But like the Cars forces, every kick
put him deeper in the hole, and he was
bottled up in every sense of the term.
Patrolman Halfcrd determined to Gre
ate as little excitement as possible, and
intended 20 kill the dog with his club.
But the bat was at his feet and he
found it heavier and easier to WELD.
Only one blow was required to do the
work, but 1T was as strong as Teddys
drag with the colored race.

keep thc Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance
of health causes serious trouble.
Nobody can be too careful to
keep this balance up. When
people begin to)lose appetite, or to get
tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness. weakness, or de-
bility. The system needs a tonic, Graves
it, and should not be denied it: and
the best tonic Of which we have any
knowledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla
What this medicine has done in keep
ing healthy people healthy, in keeping
up the even balance of health, gives it
the same distinction as a preventive
that it enjoys as cure. It's early use
has illustrated the wisdom of the old
saying that a stitch in time saves nine
Take Hoods for appetite, strength, and
endurance.-ad.

guilty was returned
The Ancrums, colored, were accused
of murderously assaultng a man named
Smith. who was timekeeper at the
place in which they worked. When
the men went for their pay an argu-
ment arose over the length Of time
that they had worked, and words soon
led to blows
1t was alleged by the defense that
Smith had begun the attack, using a
pair of brass knucks and attacked the
defendants. A wound on Nat An
crum's head was exhibited to the jury
as evidence of the attack. The de-
PENDANTS were represented by Mr.. Ed

TO WAGE WAR
ON IMPURE MILK
IS COMMITTEES PURPOSE.
MATTER DISCUSSED AT MEETING
OF HEALTH AND SANITATION

Members of the Committee Think
That n Law should Re Passed As
surfing That the Proper Food and
Water BE Given Cows Whose Milk
Is Sold in the City-The Committee
Endorsed the Condemnation of
Shell Paving md VIII Meet Health
officer.
Matters relative to the health of the
city were discussed at a meeting OF
the Chamber of Commences Health
and Sanitation Committee yesterday.
No action was taken, as it is the de-
to first have conference with DR.. w.
f. Drummer, health officer, and discuss
matters with him.
Probably of most Importance among
the questions discussed was that of
pure milk for the city. DR.. j.
Lawton Hers, chairman of the COM
inttee, brought up the matter by say
ing that he had noticed milk is served
from some of the wagons by means
Of a measure that is unprotected dur
to house, and is, therefore, liable to
collect disease germs that would find
their way into the milk.
Pure Milk Important.
Mr.. L. A. Mccarthy, another mem
Der of the committee, thought that
some law should be enacted to prevent
mich cows from being fed on Stops
and improper food. He had noticed
he said. shat slops are collected all
over the city. and has reason to be-
which the milk is afterwards sold in
the city.
DR.. G. r. White was of the opinion
that not only should these matters be
looked into, but that something should
be done in the interest of the people
to see that cows furnishing the milk
supply of the dairies should be given
only pure water to drink, as in impure
or stagnant water they are likely to
imbibe germs that are afterwards COM
munica ted through their milk. To i'm
pure milk. he said, may be attributed
much of the infantile intestinal trou-
bles that occur.
Are Against Shell Streets.
The committee also put itself on
record as indorsing the movement of
the city government in condemning
shell pavements for the streets. As
DR.. HERS expressed it, smell paved
streets with the green shells that are
constantly needed for their repair, are
not only unsightly, and in many cases
malodorous, and a menace TO the rub
Der tires on which Savannah chiefly
travels, but that they constitute a
menace to the health of persons liv
ing Oil such streets, as the powdered
shell absorbs filth, cannot be cleaned
as brick or asphalt is, and, in the dust
that arises, often carries germs into
the homes nearby.
One of the first acts of the meet
ing was to elect DR. Ralston baltimore
vice chairman DR.. Drummer will be
asked to appoint a time for u con-
ference, and a meeting for this time
Will then be called by the chairman.
