THE OTHER SIDE.

Every story has two sides, and an affair in
which Frank Mead, DR.. Baily and Alvin
Hamilton figured so prominently i. no cx-
ception TO the rule. The particulars of the
affair in connection with the woman, which
were given al length in the EAGLE Of the
10Th, WAS in the main a pretty correct ac-
count of the affair, but our reporter got
matters somewhat mixed in an article that
appeared in yesterdays paper. In that ar
tc!e reflection was made on the character #
Mr.. Alvin Hamilton, who appears to have
incurred the displcasure Of the newsmonger

schocl-mate Of Mr.. A. j. Saur, of the drug
firm of Rowe e Saur, Douglas Ave. Mr-Saur

esteem Of the best people of Lansing, Mich.

statement that appeared ia the EAGLE, to
the cfTec. that Mr.. II. had brought himself
into unfavoFable Hotoricty. Mr. Saur as
surcs US tha. his friend IS gentleman, and
that he brought some means with him, in
tending TO 50 into the grocery trade, but
finding that bushes. well represented, he
concluded to seek a position in some store
until he became acquainted with the coun-
try, and he saw some good opportunity to
DO something for himself. The young m.n
informs Us that Dr. Bailey stands high in
the community audin the medical profession
in Michigan, and was president of the State
Homeopathic college in Lansing;also that he
enjoyed favorable state reputation. IL
SAYS further that DR.. Bailey had contribu-
ted 10 the support OF the family OF the lady
in the case, and that Mead had had the BEN
fir Of the contribution; that Mead is rnan
Of no standing in Lansing. and could get no
position of trust there. Of these matters, Of
course, we know nothing, but We are assured
hv Mr.. Saur that Hamilton is not the sort OF
man one might infer he was from the clos
ing paragraph Of the article in yesterdays
issue. The reporter who wrote it AYERS that

DIDN'T KNOW THE OFFICERS

About O'Clock yesterday morning q lit
tie shooting affair occurred that might have
resulted seriously but for the darkness and
excitement of the parties. Marshal Cairns
and Constable Worrall had laid plan to
capture the thief who robbed NJ. James
Blacks residence the night previous and SO
skillfully did they lay their plans that they
run him down snd secured several Of the
stolen articles. They knew he had pal, so
they turned their man over to Officer Clark,
to be locked up. CLARK took him TO the
calaboose door but while unlocking the door
tie fellow made run for liberty and man
aged 10 escape, a bulle. from the officers
gun having failed 10 bring him down. At
about in the morning the marshal and
Constable Worrall were coming along
Douglas avenue and at b. X. Browns store
they met Mr.. Hammond, the telegraph
editor of the EAGLE, who was going home,
lunch basket in hand, after
having finished the work. They suspected
he was one OF the crooks and had some
plumber in his satchel; they requested him
20 stop, but he knowing thieves and high
waynen had been at work in the city the
past few nights, and not recognizing the
officers, refused to grant them an interview.
and the marshal said he was not the man,
but Doc Worrall said he was the same man
who passed him az hour before in the alley.

but be, not reli-hing the idea of being held
up, kept backing across the street. This
was at the corner Of Lawrence avenue, and
the officers stood near the Bank Of Com
uierce, and the type singer about the middle
Of the street. Right here a discrepancy
exists in the accounts Of the affair, the Off
GERS claiming they told him at first they
were officers, and the typo saying they did
not tell him 50 until after the shooting.
However this may be, he blazed away st
the officers and came near hitting each, firing
two shots, one Of which went crashing
through the plate glass window of the Bank
Of Commerce. lie says he was in n 1lstrii-
cation, and did not know who shot first. At
all events six shots were exchanged and no.
body hurt, which was very fortunate,
tac newspaper man being sober,
man and the two officers as ef-
fcient rs any in the state. The paper man
thought he knew al the police. and tha.
from Doc Worrall's dress he took him Cor
tramp-this is a good one on Doc. Tie
marshal was n,uflled up and in the darkness
and excitement the typo didn't see his
badge. He says he didn't shoot 10 bit, only
TO scare them Off and bring the police to his
aid. He said when he saw the officers didn't
run but returned the shots, he thought they
must be officers and asked them if they
were. When they said yes he surrendered,
and on being questioned told them he be-
longcd to the EAGLE. They brought him 10
the Office and when they found his story was
right. they all laughed and he was allowed
to 90 free. All concerned are to be congrat-
ulated on their escape.

x.
ing. Rev. J. d. Hewitt will ofliciate.
The EAGLE reporter, while standing near
one of the livery stables on West Douglas
avenue steTday, overheard curious con-
versation between two Virginians from
Pittsylvaria county. in that state. One
said that he was G. years old, and he had
heard his father say that the people of that
section in early days. compressed their to-
bacco into hogshead of two thousand
pounds capacity by means of long lever
inserted into strongly roctsd tree, resting
few feet therefrom upon crib of riven
timber built upon the tobacco in the hogs
head, the extreme end being weighted by
crib OF large stones attached. A.
more pressure was required, an
other stone WA thrown into the
crib. When the ho,shesd was full,
and duly headed up, huge wooden felloes
were hewn out and pinned together by
wooden pins around each end, raising ii
abou; eight inches from the ground. When
all was completed hickory hand-spikes were
cu:, and by human hands shc hcgshead
rolled up hill and down dale. aeross Staun-
ton river on raft, and across creeks fifty
miles to LyEchburg, on the james river.
The younger Nirginian said he was thirty
eight years old. and he could remember
hearing his people talk OF an improvement
made or the propeliing method of the hogs
head by attaching long hickory-pole shafts
to pinions in the center Of tile heads and
hitchinc horse thereto. But, said he. the
manufacture ofiron by slave labor in Frank
lin county near BIZ. had enabled few Of the
wealthy 10 have some cumbersome wagons
made. and that method Of freighins did
away with rolling altogether just about the
same time. The time referred TO by the
elder yirgiuian was from the close Of the
revolution to abou; 1875. tn. reference Of
the younger was from the latter Date to
abou: 1926. When We heard this conversa-
ton We were led to realize the great change
between now and then.
