At the Muzzle of a Revolver Made Them Dance. LatQ Friday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Dallas Turner brought in and lodged Monroe \\ bite in the ci unty jail. It. seems that White, who is m 22 year old white citizen of Ore burg, had been to ’he cjty and “tanked up” on “coffin varnish.” 'He then itnrted for home a\id made lit alright, until he arrived in the j quiet shades of West Rome s dark town section. Here Mr. White’s youth and ' • xuberance and his V\ ild West in clination gained the supremacy and drawing a couple of guns he raised a whoop and woke up the natives . He pulled down on several negro' cottages and touched iff his gat fling guns The colored people na'urally Jook on a bisr skeer and went actively into the tJlrorizing business. Big pots g 4 into littb ones and dogs look to the woods. Not satisfied with this White corralled a few’of ihe frightened denizens and at the muzzle < f his repeater put them to dancing the “Buzzard loap” and the “rair back Davy" in all the wonderful glory of thoSv spirited evolutions. Just at this critical juncture, when the poor terror zed darkies’ eyes had realized that there was a young cannon ball in the d rk depths of the muzzle that frowned down upon them. Mr. Bill Dough erty, the West Rome merchant ! slipped up behind the young man I with the gun pinioned his arms and wrenched the pistol from his hands. Two darkies fainted and three others took to the mountains. Just about ibis time Deputy Sheriff Turner was driving by, halted, took White in charge, searched h m and found the other pistol. The young desperado was put in j«il and will betaught by ths luw , that Wild Western manerisms “don’t go” in this neck of the woods.
