Dr. Raymond Sauvage, one of the leading druggists and physicians of the city,

HENRY SAUVAGE HURT.
A Runaway Horse Knocks Down Deaf and Dumb Capitalist.
Henry Sauvage, a deaf and dumb capitalist, narrowly escaped being killed at 7:30
o'clock last night within a few feet of his home at Canal and Telemachus
Streets, when he was knocked down by a runaway horse. He was assisted by two
young men whose names were not learned by the family Physicians were called and
they examined his injuries and pronounced them painful but not serious. The
family stated that the doctors said there were no fractures.
Mr. Sauvage was walking down the shelled walk which leads from the palatial
residence to the sidewalk when he saw an Esplanade Belt coming. He hurried
across the street with the intention of catching the car. From his description
of the accident the horse came upon him suddenly and he could not get out of the
way.
How he escaped being trampled under the hoofs of the animal and sustaining a
fractured skull his family regards as miraculous. The first information the
family had of the accident was when the young men brought Mr. Sauvage into the
yard.
After the doctors verdict the old gentleman wrote on his pad that he was pleased
that his life had been spared. He was told that it would be necessary from him
to remain in bed quietly for a few days. His answer showed that he was content
that he had not sustained more serious injury. |

HUNTER KILLED BY HIS OWN GUN
JACK KATZENMEYER Found Dead by Companions at Base of Bank Where He Slipped.
VICKSBURG, MISS. Jan. 8 - Relatives and friends were shocked this
afternoon upon the return her of a hunting party to hear that Jack
KATZENMEYER, one of the young men of the party, had accidentally shot
the top of his head off dying instantly. The hunting party consisted
of John ZIMMERMAN, George MILLER, H. H. HOSSLEY and the unfortunate
young man. They left the city early in the week in a gasoline boat and
went to Diamond Island, near which point the accident happened. There
were no witnesses to Mr. KATZENMEYER's death, but the young men
believe from what they could see when the body was found that Mr.
KATZENMEYER had slipped down a bank and the gun was in some manner
discharged, sending the load through the top of his head.
KATZENMEYER was interested in the KATZENMEYER Brothers' Bakery.

LAPLACE DEFEATS MRS. LEHMAN IN SAUVAGE HEARING
Nephew of Deceased Druggist Permitted to Retain Heritage.
In litigation over the succession of the late G. R. H. Sauvage, Judge King of
the Civil District Court rendered a decision Thursday in favor of Albert J.
Laplace and against Mrs. Bertha F. Lehmann.
G. R. H. Sauvage, who died February 17, 1815, at the age of 67 years, was owner
of the American Drug Store and other property.
When Sauvage died he left Mrs. Lehman, who was employed in the drug store, a
cottage and $10,000, and made her his universal legatee. To his nephew, Laplace,
he left the drug store and a residence and its contents. The entire estate was
appraised at $125,000. After a legal fight, the demand for an audit of the drug
store books was granted, and Elkin Moses, the auditor, found a defalcation of
$44,049.70 on the part of the bookkeeper, Salaun. Judge King ordered this
account homologated.
The disputants look over the available legacies. The delivery of the drug store
and the home of Laplace was ruled by Judge King to take them out of the
succession as subject to the debts of the estate. After the division, a
provisional account was filed. Mrs. Lehman opposed the account's approval. She
contended that the legacy of the drug store was a nullity, that it is a running
business subject to liabilities of over $57,000, defalcation, and that she
should not be called upon to pay more than a pro rata of the deficit. Judge King
took up these and other grounds. He held that the language of the will points to
the drug store as a clear legacy of a specific thing and relieved the legatee of
liability for the debts of the succession, unless there was a mortgage on the
store.
The legacy of the lot, residence and contents carried with it everything about
the property, including the limousine, which Mrs. Lehman had disputed. In the
matter of the defalcation, as well as notes which Sauvage had given Laplace for
uncollected salary and profits, Judge King maintained Sauvage responsible for
the shortage and Laplace entitled to the notes. Sauvage was a deaf mute and
attended to the accounting and financial part of the business. Laplace was the
outside manager, built up the business and relied on the books supervised by
Sauvage. By failing to exercise diligence, Sauvage put Laplace in the position
of believing he was entitled to the money attributed to him in the settlements,
and that his service were being recompensed in accordance with their contracts.
Neither Sauvage, if alive, nor his heirs can be heard to say that the obligation
neglected by Sauvage, resulting in what will now be a very serious loss to
Laplace, can be avoided by his failure to do his duty. Mrs. Lehman's $10,000
cannot go into the account because there are no funds. So she gets the cottage
particularly willed to her, and Laplace the drug store and the residence and
contents. |
