ARREST MADE EASY -
BY THIS CRAPSTER
NO TROUBLE TO GAUTURE A MAN
WANTED IF LUCK IS ON THE
SJDE OF THE OFFICER.
Word was received at police head
quarters yesterday afternoon that If
an officer would quietly slip ardhnd
Into the alley leading back of the
Telephone Exchange something might
be discovered.
The message came just as Chief
Westcott had turned over to Detective
Smith a postal card from *.t lady say
ing that she had reason to believe that
a negro named-Oble Randall was sell
ing whisky to her son. Placing the
card in his pocket so ti?at he might
investigate the mutter, the detective
went «t once to look, after what was
going on In the alley. Slipping around
he found In'a corner, almost free from
observation, five negroes engaged In
shooting craps. He made n dlvq for
them and succeeded In capturing'two
of the men. These proved t/ be Jere
Searboro, who was up before the re
corder some Fme ago for violating tho
prohibition law In some way. and tho
other Ohio Randall, the man Whose
name was mentioned on the postal
card the detective had Just put in his
pocket.
The men were Just shooting a little
craps for Christmas money, and they
thought it a shame that they should
be so rudely disturbed.
When arrested Randall had two half
pint bottles of whisky on his person,
and the officers think they can con
vict him with ample proof that he
has been something worse than merely
•hoofing craps for Christmas money.

TRULY A SAD CASE
FOUND LAST NIGHT
SUCH A CASE GIVES A JAR TO
THE JOYS ANI» PLEASURES
OF THE CHRISTMAS TIMES.
Too drunk to tell his name, too
drunk to tell whera he lived and too
drunk to tell where he obtained his
Whisky, but not too drunk to want a
pawnbroker to advance him five dol
lars on an clghteen-dollar ring that
belonged to his mother, was this white
boy, and ho only seven years old.
That is what the horrified mother
sa'.d to the kind-hearted . officer who
managed by carry, him about on the
streets long enough to somewhat sober
the child to find her. Seven years old!
The little fellow, wont into Kaplari
& -Snotman's lust night and displaying
the ring told what ho wanted. Tho
members of the firm saw his condition
and his tender years, and they sent
for an officer—not to arrest him. but
to find out where he lived nnd deliver
him to his parents.
The child was unable to tel’ any
thing about himself, but he thought
he lived In a locality where there were
a number of electric lights. His
mother was a stranger In Macon, had
been here ortly for a short time, und
the boy had not time to get acquainted
with the streets. But the officer took
the boy jiround to flrat one place and
then another and then finally found tne
locality and the mother who over
whelmed at the condition of the child.
The mother said that /die had a
small quantity of whisky an her dross.
or. And some of it was mlfs'.ng. She
thinks the child must bive drank it.
There was nothing for the.officer to do
but to sigh and to leave the child
with Its mother—to get sober.
It wax DetecUte Smith who car
ried the child to Ita home, and he
says that in all his experience as an
officer, this was the saddest s'ght he
ever saw.
