negro under the following circum-
stances, as narrated to us The negro
was a powerful man, weighing over

night, entered the yard, and COM

johnson, who was quietly sitting by

opened 1T, the negro made a lunge at

Mr.. Johnson's clothing but inflicted
no serious wound, and before he could
repeat the blow johnson seized a

On the 22d inst, some sneak thief
slipped behind the counter in the
store of Captain w. L. Loudon, and
stole from his safe the sum of 1894.
The store (Which is ITO feet long, was
quite crowded with customers that
day, and it is surprising how anyone
could have committed the theft with
out detection. The money was in a
long pocket book, and consisted of a
check for $50, two fifty dollar bills,
and 1914 in smaller currency. The
pocket book containing the check Il
the two large bills was found the next
morning in the Grand Jury room at
the Court House, where the thief had
left it. fearing he would be detected
in attempting to pass off the fifty
dollar bills and check, but the balance
of the money has not been recovered.
nor has any clue been obtained as to
who this daring thief can be.
