to bully the officers, but the other ran for
dear life down Fourteenth street, followed
by Officer Mahanny, who fred several
shots, but without the desired effect, and
the negro got away. Price was fined 800
and costs by Magistrate Comings yesterday,
for being vagrant, and was given stay
to leave town. The officers have undoubt-
eddy struck the right course to prevent gar
rottings, ETC., in our streets at nights. Such
negroes as Price and Warren, known vag-
grants, do not prowl about street corners
and in dark shadows at night with any but
an unlawful purpose.
The Springfield Register says locally:
"The man who gyumbles at the weather
shows very little judgment, especially in
this climate, and he will save himself much
vexation of spirit by always expecting the
worst and making up his minu to meet it
without losing temper. If he does this his
disappointment will always be of pleas
ant kind. But what useless agony of mind
must such man be In continually because
of 1.-THE worst" that never comes, and what
an intolerable old bore and croaker he
must be 70 others. There are too many
people in the world now who are acting upon
the theory advanced by the author Of the
above and the world isn't any better and
humanity no safer and happier because of
their being here. Every community is
afflicted with them, more or less likewise
Cairo. They are chronic mischief-makers !;
opposing progress because, to their dull un-
derstandings, it is safer to stand still, they
are stumbling blocks in the way Of enter
prlses which. to ordinarily clear minds, prom
Use only the grandest results, because to
their narrow views fearfully taken through
thick wells of stupidity and prejudice,
they perceive only dark confusion and dis
aster in the future. Let the writer of the
above beg pardon of the men around him.
who are just now making such extraordi-
nary efforts to build up their city.
Another little chapter may now be
written concerning the Zauone burglary
which occurred Sunday night and for which
young VIM. Powers and Richard Leisenhof,
alias Wilson, are now awaiting indictment.
The two young fellows were caught by the
officers, Just as they came over the rear
fence of the burglsrizsd premises. They
were searched on the spot after having been
overcome, and were deprived Of young
arsenal and of what money could be found
about them, the latter amounting to about
$23, all in cor. Mr.. Zsnone declared
that there had been more money in The
drawer, forty dollars in paper that he
knew of, four FIVE dollar bills and two ten
dollar bills. The officers were puzzled to
know what became of the paper money, be-
lieving confidently the thieves had not been
given a chance to drop or hide any of their
booty and had been deprived of all they
had about them. But yesterday the dis.
crepsncy between the amount lost and the
amount recovered was somewhat lessened
by the finding of the four five dollar bills
Officer Mahanny had heard that young
Powers had been seen to have money since
his imprisonment, and the officer proceeded
to devise means for testing the report.
Young Powers IS a shrewd one, and the
officer was satisfied that if be went boldly
into the cell, the money would disappear in
some crevice where it would be difficult to
find. Accordingly he consulted with Dep
uty Tailor Mike Fitzgerald, and it was de-
cided that the latter should 60 and inform
the prisoners to prepare for change Of
cells, gather up all their personal effects
for the transfer, while be went and pre-
pared the other CELL BY this means the
object was effected, and when soon after
Officer Mahanny was Unexpectedly ushered
into their presence and searched them, he
was grstifed to find, in a secret pocket in
Powers pants, four five dollar bills. The
two ten dollar bills were not found, but as
Powers has had ample opportunity to dis
pose Of them since his Imprisonment, it is
probable that he did SO.
