The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-05-04

Some excitement was created among
pedestrians in the lower portion of the city
Sunday morning by the sudden appearance
upon the streets of man minus his apparel
running at break-neck speed up Washing
ton avenue and through f. Klein's butcher
shop into the back yard. His name was
Daniel Cornelly and he was, we
understand, a member of some
military organization of Memphis. He
had come upon the steamer Paris c. Brown,
and taken stateroom and entering it, he
divested himself of his clothing and

began his crazy dash through the streets
until ne halted as aforesaid,in Kline's yard,
where he was arrested by Officer Schuckers,
dressed and lodged in jail He was, of
