an Outrage.
His Description Of the Perpetrators
Leads to The Arrest Of
Two Men.

Frank foster and William Whitfield
we're arrested last Sunday afternoon at the
instance Of s.. n. Freeman, on the charge
Of highway robbery. The prosecutor
says that on last Saturday night he arrived
in this city from ClarksVille, by way of the
st. Louis and Southeastern Road, en- route
for Knoxville, where he lives. Being short
of funds, be old not feel able TO put up at 2
hotel, and after getting permission to do
SO, concluded to remain in the passenger
room at the Chattanooga depot over night,
10 await the departure Of the next train on
the following evening. That while Ne WIS
asleep in the depot, two men came to him,
aroused him, and said 10 could not sleep
there, but could slaep in their caboOse. He
got up and went with them into the
car. They had been in there but q short
time when be gave one Of them a quarter
to go and buy some WHISKY. After the
fellow returned with the LIQUOR the other
proposed to 90 and Sss something to eat,
saying Tia. has credit was good at a house
= short distance of. They started for the
restaurant, and when they had gone 2 little
ways, his companions knocked him down
and robbed ,,.ita q Sl2, I'll the money he
hSd. they then ran OF aud left him.
When Freeman had sufficiently recoy-
cred 10 walk, he went to tie house of a
man named Kirby, but from his apDsar-
ance, the latter supposed that be had been
in drunken 6gi,t, and told him to leave
tie premises. Freeman now wandered off
ia search Of aid elsewhere, and came
across an old darkey who kindly took him
IN and did what he could FOR his relief.
Abo-. daylight Freeman came hack 70 tie
Chattanooga depot to tel the tale Of his ad-
ventures. The police were Informed Of
lie FOhbarT, and officers kerrigan, Starkey
ana Pitts set about TO work up the case.
Getting a description Of the men from Free
man, they soon struck trail and followed
it till about enc O'Clock II the afternoon.
when they arrested Foster and Whitfield in
: lager beer garden in North
Nashville. The prisoners were
lodged in the E0Eh-hoGse for safe keeping
till ten O'Clock yest6sdsy morning, when
they we're taken before Justice Creighton
and sent 10 jill for trial at that hour TO-DAY.
Justice Creighton required them to give
bail in the sum Of 3, 800 each, which they
were unable to do.
Freeman received some rather severe
licks On the head and in the back. but his
injuries are not considered serious. He re-
mained in the city to appear IS a witness
sgsinst the ALLEGED robbers. While here
the Chattanooga road will payhis expenses,
ana At the conclusion Of tho trial, he will
be furnished with pass home.
