Thursday morning observed a negro man
suspiciously looling around the post office.
AT the word halt, the negro broke and run.
Several random shots were fired to Brighten
the negro into surrender but il had ten
dency to accelerate his speed. After live
" chase, in which others joined, he was
captured and gave his name as Malls Phil
lips. They did not produce testimony suf-
ficient to convict, and SO he was released,
although circumstances strongly pointed
against him. 1t is thought that he was in
some manner connected with the gang of
burglars who have been for so long infest-
ing our vicinity.

have lost the opportunity of lifetime, as
his services are in demand in the first cities
of our country. He goes from conference
to Nashville, and before he returns to his
foreign work, to Washington city III the IN
