A GOOD CATCH.
Chief J\ M. Jolley and his efficient
deputy, Mr. I\ C. Massey, made a
raid on a house in Darktown Friday
and flushed a game of poker.
For some time these officers have
been watching the negro gamblers-
about town, and have had several
houses spotted. Dan Williams,who
lives in a two-room house just in rear
ol Mr. Ben McCurry’s store on Main
street, is among the suspects and his
was the joint raided last Friday.
8ix negroes were in the game and
the cards had just been dealt, with
the money stacked up on the table.
Officer Massey was the first to enter,
anti was not observed until he or
dered “all hands to surrender.”
Chief Jolley came promptly to the
rescue, but in tike excitement of the
raid, two negroes escaped, — Dan
Williams who occupits the house,
anti George Gather, one of the gam
blers.
The others were captured and
marched up Mam street to jail. The
five captives were Taylor Foster,
Frank Glenn, Virge Gibson, Jesse
Clements and “Hop” Jackson.
They were fined $10 each by Mayor
Ledbetter and released.
