H Deane’s Stare and the Last Chance Broker Into—Several Suspicious Persons Arrested S. H. Deane’s grocery *tore and Last Chance bai were broken in Sunday night. The particulars have been secured eo far are as fol Officers Cunningham and were stapding at the corner the New Y’ork store Monday tnorn about 2 o’clock, when they approached by three men, who them and inquired if could tell them where they could a bar that was open. They them the bars were closed and would be impossible fort hem to I* anything to drink. John How one ot the met., was then very under the influence of liquor was advised to go to the hotel go to sleep. Hewell then said he had a case in the county and weuld go to bed so av to be by the time the case was call After he left, policeman Cun¬ and H. C. Dunn, another of the atraugers, went down the together towards the Last bar. When they arrived at li. Deane’s store a negro was seen walking off in a suspicious manner. Cnnninghatn said to bitn“nello Pete! what are yoa doing here this time of night.” As he did so the negro turn ed upon him and fired his pistol at him. Several shots were exchanged but neither one was hit. The negro as soon as he did the ahooting fled. Pur suit wss given by Cunningham, and Bowden, who had just arrived,joined, as did also Dunn and Alford, the men who remained with the police man. The negro made bis escape. When the policeman returned, upoa investigation, they found that Deane’s store had been broken into and robbed of some of its contents. The burglars had endeavored to gain an entrance into the front door by prying it opea with a horse shoe punch that bad been obtained from a blacksmith shop near by. But they failed to do ao and turned their attention to the hack door, which they aucseedcd in opening by the aid of a sledge hammer. They rob bed the cash drawers of tbeir con tents and pilfered the show cases. Then their attention was turned to cigara and tobacco, each of which they secured k go«d supply of. It was soon found that the Last Chance bar had beea entered into in a like manner. Out of this they had taken a ten gallon keg of whisky which, when found, contained about three gallons ef corn whisky. It seems that the robber* intended to have a regular picnic, for near the keg were found beer glasses which they used in drinking the whisky. Mr. Deane was sent for and after he arrived tried to ascertain the amourt of Lis losses. He considered them to be as stated above. Tha men , Dunn and Alford, aceompatuad the police to headquarters and chief Manley saw fit to place them under arrest on suspicion of tbeir being im plicated in the robbery. They de dared their innocence upon being interviewd yesterday morning and said they bad been badly imposed upon. They were placed in the guard honse to await further iuvesti gation. The policemen displayed considerable alertness in the whole affair and are to be complimented on their watchfulness. A negro bag been arreated who had *in his possesion a jug of whisky which he said was give* him by some white men. Christian Matters The News had a pleasant call yes terday morning from Rev. Frank L.
