After returning home on mid

terprising Grange merchant, ID.
P. Airhart, who accompanied us
to the residence of Mr.. J. X.
Corey where I united in marri-

TACKLED Thursday about
half past seven i colored dray-
man was Ieisurely driving home.
and when at the crossing OF the
Santa Fe railway, near the old
Bush residence, he was halted
by i suspicious looking white
man; he stopped his dray and
the white man advanced on him
and clinched him; the white
man saying nothing; they scuf-
fled for a time, the drayman
telling the man to turn him
loose or he would shoot him.
In a very little time the dray-
man succeeded in getting loose
and drawing his pistol fred at
the white man three times at
very short range-four or FIVE
feet, The man got into the
weeds and crossing the. street
walked slowly away. The
drayinan does not know wheth-
er he hit his assailant or not.
The object of the attack is not
CLEAR, though it is likely rob-
berry was intended. -

telling what particular kind of
shines a tramp or monkey is
going to cut. In tlis Ease we
are dealing with the peculiar
monkeying of a tramp. 1t seems
that a few nights ago, about II
O'Clock, q white tramp called at
the residence of a lady, in the
southern part Of the city, whose
husband was out Of town, and
asked for drink of water, She
ordered him off the premises
and he left going to a neigh
boris where he repeated the
same thing. These night Prov
lcrs need a little attention from
shot guns. There seems to be
entirely too much pilfering and
robbing going on and some
thing should be done to put a
stop to it. Perhaps if a rob-
Der or two could be "deadened

ground out for the delectation

No smoking.


These words arc familiar to
all who have patronizcd street
railroads. They may now be
seen by all who ascend the
grand stairway to the grand
court room of the grand and
magnificent courthouse OF
Washington county. AT the
suggestion of the district judge
a massive tin sign has been
made with the words no smok-
ing cut in on a sanded ground.
The artist VINO made the sign
did not sign it, therefore the
BANNER is debarrcd from giving
him a puff. So much by way
Of introduction; now for bust
ness the magnificent carpet

finder and as easily ignited as

the entire structure is liable to
be set on fire from a spark
from a pipe, a cigar stump or a
match carclcssly thrown aside
when lighting a pipe or cigar.
The second story was once set
on fire from this cause and a
timely discovery saved the
building. 1t is well that there
should be no smoking about the
court room at any time and the
tkoughtful will read the injunc- |
tion-no smoking and govern |
themselves accordingly.

Three Negroes shot.

son Sunday morning about
two o'clock three negroes from
| Snyders tie camp, Tony Top
lin, Albert Hardin and one,
name unknown. engaged in a
fight in front Of Mark Hills, a
colored city cartman, house
east Of the compress. Pistols
were used and one Of the ne
! groes shot the other. the ball
entering abou, where the neck
joins the breast and glancing
round came out on the Shout
der making u very nice little
flesh wound. AT this stage OF
the performance Willis McIn-
tyre, a bad negro, appeared on
the ground and seeing that ono
of the negroes was shot said to
the other one, "Well! you shot
him and I'll shoot you," and
Suiting the action to the word
he blazed away, the ball taking
effect in the forehead and glanc-
ing lodged in the temple. On
Sunday morning DIR. Lockett
dug the ball out; it was the
size of a small buckshot and
was hattened. Tony Joplin
and Albert Hardin were the
negroes shot; they as well as
the unknown negro were ar
rested and locked up in the
-bastile by officers Neblett and
Swain. On Sunday they were
transferred to the jail. On Sun |
day morning a warrant was
placed in the hands Of Ed. Inge,
colorcd policeman, for the ar
rest of Willis Mcintyre, who
was in Camptown. Ed. had no
difficulty in finding Willis who
was in a house;?he did not pro-
pose to surrender but attempt
ed to draw his ever ready re-
volver; Inge knocked it out of
his hand with a stick, and
Willis reached for it again
when Inge fired; the ball taking
effect ABBOTT eight inches above
the knee joint and ranging
downward breaking the thigh
bone: Willis then gave up, a
hack was procured and he was
conveyed to the county Jail.
On Monday the torsthought
he would recover without los
i9g his leg. aInge is as cool as
a refrigerator and deserves
credit for arresting Mcintyre,
who is regarded as dangerous
character. Inge says he could
have killed him as easy as not,
but thought he would let ihim
live and make a man Adf him
self. /

We alluded to the fact yestcr7
day that a number OF the ladies'
of this city contemplate raising
a fund to purchase a flag for
presentation to Mechanics
engine Co. No. /. This deserves
more than passing notice,
The fire department of BRENNAN
is a voluntary organization, and
is composed of the best men in
the city. Public spirit alone
keeps the organization together
and it is due to the members of
the department that all proper
occasions should be taken to
manifest the popular apprccia-
ton Of their services. More
than once have thousands of
dollars worth of property been
rescued from the flames and
saved to its owners by the
prompt and efficient action of
the Brenilam fire department.
A few years since a rnagnih-
cent banner, was presented to
the Hook and Ladder cons
pany byour ladies' and now in
recognition of the worth Of the
Engine company, the ladies
propose to present it with one
no less beautiful. 1t is difficult
to preserve the organization of
a voluntary fire department; but
if anything will preserve il
the approving smiles Of the
ladies will. s#sN
