Lieutenant Guice sat apon his
right and at times read from the
great Book of Troubles and Tribu
lations.
The first Daniel brought to
Judgement was n .»t a Daniel, but
was a son of Ham, bearing the
name of Robt. Hooper. The young
toon is a star actor in the Fall of
Ninevah, and a man familiar with
the habits of the police. He was
fined S2O or 40 days, for kussin
another koon and drawing his
bnife on the ‘same.
Frank Ne?son, the young white
man from Cihcinatti, who snatched
a pair of pants from in front of the

of Ham was bound over to city

that Dan became a ‘‘Daniel brought
to Judgement” after a most exci’-
ing tussel with officer Joe Sharp;
The scene us the same being laid
en Fifth Avenue nesr the Second
Bauist Church and the time abeut
3:80 o’clock yesterday morning.
Officer Sharp noticed a couple of
coens whose burdens looked suspi
cious and darted around the block
beaded them off at the church and
ordered tnem to halt.
Seeing that they were inclined
to run the plucky officer grabbed
one of them, when the other made
a dash for liberty. While scuffling
with his prisoner Officer Sharp
fired two shots after the flying
coon who, encouraged by the whist
ling balls, ran completely out of
his old overcoat and, by this writ
ing, out of Floyd county.
The man captured proved to be
Daniel Jones and he was laden
with one third of a b x of “News
Boy” chewing tobacco, a 50lb sack
of “Purity” flour and one third
of a bolt of jeans.
Messrs. Lanham <k Son swear to
the goods but do not know how
they were obtained by the thieves,
as their store was not burglarized.
The missing negroe’s name is Hen
ry Graham. And the Fall of Nine
veh was over.
A half dozen extra police were
sworn in this morning and are now
on duty.
By order of Mayor John D.
Moore, the barrooms of the city
will close tomorrow and it is hoped
that the glad Christines tide will
slip by without any serious inci
dent or casualty resulting.
