A BOLD BANK ROBBERY.

The particulars of the recent bold
bank robbery in Monroe, Mich, re-
veal an extraordinary amount of dar-
ing on the part of the robbers. They
entered the bank building through a
rear window soon after midnight and
overpowered, gagged and handcuffed
the Waterman, and unceremuniously
conveyed him to the cellar, where
one of the rascals mounted guard
over him. An old man who hap
pened to come down the street. was
seized, handcufed, gagged, and put
into the bank. The night was cold,
and the bank watchman, stripped to
his shirt, was chilled through and
seemed to suffer considerably. The
ruhian who guarded him, seeing the
state of the case, cautioned the watch.
man to keep still, but said they did
not propose to allow him to freeze
to death Then he went up stairs,
got the watchman's pantaloous and
stockings, and put them on him. =
Having got everything ready the
burglars went to work. The men
did not seem to be in any hurry, or
to be at all careful in regard to max
ing noise. They threw their tools
on the floor, and with sledges went
to work at the hinges of the vault
A very short time was necessary to
give them access to the inside of the
safe, and to give them $4,000 in
currency and about 5000 in bonds.
They then left the bank, first, how
ever, releasing one hand of the bank
Waterman and blowing up the stove,
probably with the idea of burning
the building and getting a better
start with their bounty while the
people were fighting the fire. The
fire, however, did no particular dam
age. A livery stable was their next
point of attack. Here was a man
sleeping, and him they overpowered,
gagged and tied. They then took
horse and buggy, and part left in the
vehicle, the balance of the party
stealing a hand-car and taking the
railroad track. As soon as the bank
Waterman thought it safe to do so,
he gave the alarm and the police
started in pursuit. On the track the
locomotive struck the hand-ca which
the burglars had abandoned. The
horse and buggy were found by a
man coming into Monroe, showing
signs of very hard driving. No
further traces of the burglars had
been discovered at last accounts.

CAUGHT.
L. t cheves sewed by Lock Stitch.

L. T Cheves Sewed by a Lock Stitch.
Mr.. L. T. Cheves, who acted as
agent for the sale of Singer Sewing
Machines in Marietta, and who man
aged to embezzIe some $500 Of the
company's money and absconded on
the 10Th of October last, was cap
tured in Sherman, Texas, and
brought back to Georgia last Friday
evening by Deputy Sheriff Wells
and J. d. Collins, of Atlanta. Mr..
G. W. Leonard, agent of the Singer
Manufacturing Company, of Atlanta,
showed considerable shrewdness in
the detection and arrest of Cheves.
He had circulars, with Cheves' pho
tograph attached, distributed far and
near, which put Cheves on the run.
The telegraph wire was used freely
at all points. When Cheves left Ma
rietta, he went to Columbus, Miss,
where his wife's and his own people
live he left there for Texas, from
there he went to Topeka, Kansas, and
then back to Sherman Texas, where
he applied for work. Mr.. Edison,
the agent from New Orleans being
at Sherman, recognized Cheves and
put him to work putting up machines,
while at once telegraphed to Leon
ard at Atlanta, who obtained an in
dictment for forgery from the Grand
Jury of Cobb Superior Court, and
Wells and Collins were dispatched
for Cheves. He was found lodged
in Jail, and was brought back
for trial. His wife, we learn, has
made repeated overtures for compro-
missing the matter, but Mr.. Leonard
desires to make an example of
Cheves SO as to deter other agents
from dishonest practices, and there
by protect communities and prevent
innocent parties suffering from the
transactions of dishonest agents. -
Cheves no doub: became involved in
debt here by drink, and unable to
meet his obligations, he used the
company's money by a swindling
process and fed, but it yet may be
determined that he is not guilty o.
forgery, as he thinks he will be able
to prove. The way of the trans
gressor is hard. Sheriff Stephens
brought Cheves up from Atlanta
last Monday evening and lodged him
in Jail.

DOG LAW.

The papers of the State are be-
ginning to demand a dog law in
good earnest. This intolerable nui-
sance we have long contended
should be abated. mo law, says
the Columbus Times, is more i'm
peratively needed in Georgia, than
one that will impose tax on dogs.
Fix a tax of five dollars per head on
dogs, and we will have large sheep
farms in few years. The shepherd
and the shepherd dog will add vast
ly to the annual revenues of Geor>
gia land owners"
The Atlanta Constitution says,
"Arkansas has matured a measure
tina: imposes tax on her dogs
Tennessee has long had such law.
Georgia will soon be the only refuge
in the Union for worthless and de-
structive ours"
The Thomasville Times, says
awe have our war paint on and
propose to go for the worthless ours,
and the enactment of a law taxing
them. Let us have an expression
of opinion, gentlemen of the press of
Georgia, on the question of a dog
tax. Our Legislators are timid about
it-Iet's see if we can't stir the
thing up. A dog tax, say we."
And SO say the majority of the
people of Georgia.

To the Voters Of COBB County:
l have this day rendered my
resignation, to Gov. Smith, as a
member of the House of Representa-
tives from the county of Cobb
With his action thereon, my posi-
ton as one of your Representatives,
will be a thing of the past. l would
be false to every instinct Of my ma
ture, and false to you, if | did not
thus publicly express my gratitude
to you for your kindness and con-
tidence 1t is not iii accordance
with my idea of things, to surrender
trust before its duties are fully dis
charged to the best of ones abilities
Blu. duty should be the measure of
effort and the guide Of action. Du-
ties, inconsistent with longer service
in the Legislature, have been cast
upon me. Feeling as | do. cannot
hesitate. | regret the trouble and
expense my action will cost you, but
| confidently believe that those who
have been SO true to me in the past,
will fully appreciate my motive and
will cast no blame upon me.
The mistakes | have committed
can never be corrected. So far as
they are concerned, | will have to be
satisfied with regrets. Indulge me
to add, that whatever my lot shall
be, with much satisfaction | shall
continue to claim to be one of this
people.
shall never be ashamed of the
credit you gave me, when you made
ma your Representative.
