diamond thieves were spotted to day within

they we're arrested on the 10Th day OF Jan.

when they were here before, had warrant
for their arrest in his pocket when they got
on the train. This he gave to conductor
on the Danville train, while on his way to his
home in Chesterfield the same evening,
with the request that he would give it to
gentleman on the train to bring back to the
CITY for delivery to the authorities. This
was done and while the parties are now in
durance vile it does not appear that 1t was
owing to any special vigilance on the part
of the chief operator of the police depart

against Marion Browning, negro boy, but
no attention was paid to them, az he wss
regarded harmless, until the two men met
several days ago Shanks was passing
Browning's house carrying an axe on his
shoulder when Browning came out to see
him. Words passed between them and
Shank; started on mutteriug that be would
get even with Browning, when that gentle
men went into the house and presently re-
turned with gun. Shsnks then began to
beg for his life, but Browning took deliberate
aim and fired, killing Shanks instantly.
