important Railroad DecisIon,


The Supreme Court of Michigan re.
Gently decided that where a mar volun.
tarily places himself in q position Of
great danger, and makes q highway of a
railroad track, where he has no right to
be, and upon which dangerous vehicles
are constantly liable to pass, he is bound
to exercise more than ordinary care and
caution to protect himselfagaiuat danger,
which is thus constantly immiuent, and
where he fails in this and does not even
avail himself Of the precaution Of look.
Ing about him, it is impossible, in speak
ing Of his conduct, to characterize it by
anything short of recklessness. IL such
. case his negligence contributes to the
injury, and the court should instruct the
jury that the plaintiff is not entitled to
recover.

Negro Thief Shet and Wounded While
RObbing a Market Garden in

Of the City.

The rObbing of market gardens in the
suburbs Of the city has become so gene

have had to sit up at night with gun in
hand in order to keep off marauders.
Last Saturday night Mr.. Ashe, who has
a market garden near the old Raleigh
road, in the northern portion CT the
suburbs, was setting up watching bis
vegetable garden. A negro thief with
sack on shoulder soon entered the prem
Uses and commenced gathering in veg
etsbles Of all kinds, just as if he was
gathering them in his own garden. Mr..
Ashe called upon him to halt and sur.
render, but the thief needed not the
warning, and broke and ran, dropping
his sack when be started. Mr.. Ashe lev.
eled a double barreled shot.gup, which

The negro was followed and arrested.
He was taken to the station house, where
he gave his name as Henry Carpenter.

Cotton Thieves At work.


Last Saturday evening between seven
and eight o'clock Mr.. Lee Ra;ney, in
passing the Herndon place, which is
fourteen miles east Of the city on the
State Line road, discovered a man with
a well.flled sack on his back, which he
dropped on seeing Rainey, and ran off
The sack on examination proved to be
filled with seed cotton stolen from the
Messrs. Phillips, who are cultivating
that place this year. A spring wagon
was in waiting at the fence to receive
the cotton, but seeing the turn in affairs
when his confederate fed, the driver
made all speed possible down the State
Line road in the direction of this city.
A party Of young men went in pursuit,
but that spring wagon undoubtedly made
good time out Of hat neck OF woods, for
no tidings of it could be gathered.
There is a regularly organized business
Of stealing seed cotton throughout all
the section Of country within four or FIVE
hours drive of this city. The modus
operandi is, men who live here make
appointments to meet their confederates
at a given time and place. The farmer
misses his cotton next day, and by that
time it is in Memphis and be is unable
to get trace Of it. The people in the
country will make short work Of these
fellows if they can be caught.
