shooting a Kidnapper o.

Thursday nigh, after IL O'Clock,
officer sam Osment, Of the police force,
was on his way to wake up his reiief,
who was to 20 on ut l O'Clock. As be
passed along by the FIRST Presbyterian
church graveyard something In
human shape bounded over from
the graveyard in front OF him.
Ich an spparition at such time and
from such q source would be calculated
to cause the cold chiils to run over
most any one. Just at this time, too,
when there are 30 many startling and
ridiculous rumors sfioat, and 30 gem
orally believed among the colored
people, about kidnaRpers iBfesting the
town,-there was still better excuse
for a fellow to be superstitious on the
spur of the moment. Sam. wasn't
going to be taken In without strug-
gle, Immediately drew his pistol aud
fired two shots into the thing, and
blew his alarm whistle vigorously
When a fellow-pc licemsn answered,
he found Sam standing with one eye
on, what he supposed to be the life-
less kidnapper, and the other on
the fence, having heard q rustling
about on the inside. Investigation
proved, however, that some one had
put up q job on Sam, and thrown
over an old stuffed coat, which had
received the contents OF his pistol.
