The music loving portion Of our citi.
zens should not forget the concert this

pices Of the Egyptian Choral Society oil
Mound City. The programme published
m another place 10 one which will a,trsc,
attention, and will no doubt draw full
house. On several occasions when our
Cairo singers have given concerts .,

full houses, and IL is to b, hoped our PEG.

on this occasion.
One day .ast week Sheriff Irwin went
down the river in search Of Dick Owens,
who has been wanted in this city for .
long time past. Owens is living in = hsh.
ing boat somewhere between Cairo and
Columbus, and 10 always on the lookout
for Sheriff Irwin, who he knows will sooner
or later take him in oat Of tho weather
If he 10 not very cautious. When the
steamer came within ABOUT two hundred
yards Of Dicks floating palace, the bell
vas rung to stop, and Sheriff Irwin and
sx-policeman Fred whi,camp, who &C.
compsnied him, jumped into one OF the
yswls and made for the palace. But
On the first tap Of the bell of the
Illinois, Owens and another nan
also took TO their skif and made for the
Kentucky shore. For time ,he race was
an exciting one, and every body on the T.
linois was out on the guards watching to
see how it would terminate. Owens boa,
being much the lighter, reached shore irs,
and Dick and his partner, u man named
Charlie Holly, succeeded in escaping to
the woods where it was useless 10 follow
them. Both Owens and his partner were
armed with guns, and had Sheriff Irwin
and Wh,csmp pressed them too closely,
it is not unreasonable to suppose that hot
work" would have ensued. Dick Owens
may escape for awhile, but his day viii
come, and ,ha, too probably before be is
prepared for It.
