markablc decadence of saloons in that
adamantinc center, where the number
has been depleted in the past eighteen
months from about thirty to one bar in

with pride to her record Of reform. 1t
is evident that there is far less tan.le-
foot consumed in that place than former
~, which may be readily accounted for
aside from the result of the wonderful
reformation claimed. Careful consider
alton of recent events occurring in that
highly moral (?) village, would lead TO
the conclusion that however insignif-
cant the amount consumed may be, that
the quality is such rs TO produce fatal

the marked decrease in the amount Of

EDITOR CURoNICLE:-l have been long
whishing that something worthy OF

thing has transpired. Nevertheless III
respectfully submit my report.
Slowed up in the archives Of my
memory is record from which recent
events in Custer county have brushed
the dust and cobwcbs. This record re-
counts the deeds ofdaring performed bv
our brawny foreiathers OF the last
century while making the fur hy from
the British lion on account cftyrannical
taxation imposed by that presumptuous
beast, and then goes on to tell the

s~tereotyped groans about hard times and

ton it occurred To me that the univer.
salty and inNariability of the use of
these complaints by Americans is prob
ably the result Of mark put upon the
sovereigns of the Republic during the
mighty throes of her birth.
1t would be al unheard of anomaly
for one to say that these are good times
and that taxes are low and that will be
a good millennial sign when It's discov.
cred that there is scarcity of men to
assert that the powers that be are run
ming the country to ruin. In view Of
these facts, Mr.. Editor, I'd gladly forego
my natural predictions as q citizen Of
the Great Republic and the county Of
Custer and give YOU a rest on these
hackneyed subjects. But the constitu-
ency that | represent have blood In their
eyes and they insist that ! reserve the

THE MONROE PARK DISTURBANCE.
Addie ShackIeford, the Negro Woman
Child -Beater. Goes to jail.


Addie Shackleford, the stalwart black
negro nurse, who beat Luther Jones, a
boy about 8 years old, in Monroe Park,
Sunday afternoon, and resisted Park
keeper Beszley in the discharge OF his
duty; and William II. Dudley, Jacob
Brown, Simon Woodbridge, and George
Anderson, four young negro men,
charged with attempting to rescue her
from Parkkeeper Beazley's custody, were
before the Police Court yesterday. The
general facts in the case were correctly
reported in Mondays TINES
From the evidence Of witnesses, in
Guiding Young Luther Jones, 1t seems
that Luther wis walking along the path
when the negress Addie, who had with her
little child walking, struck up against
him and then abused him for getting in
her way She struck him in the eye, caught
him by the hair and one Of his legs and
threw him to the ground and began to
beal him. Parkkeeper Beazley seeing this
ran TO the scene and arrested the woman.
The park at lhe time was full Of baby
carriages, and negro nurses with negro
dudes flirting with them.
A tall black negro, wearing beaver
hat. strutled down the path and de
manded Adde'S release. He WAS fol-
lowed bv large number of other negro
men, and cried out that she should not
be arrested 'if we have 10 wade in blood
10 prevent it" Addie refused TO go with
Mr. Beazley, who would have taken her
10 the station house Immediately but for
the little child in her care. He went
with her to nr Galeskis house,
where the child belonged and
finding the family absent, left the
child next door. This was on
Floyd street In the meantime dense
crowd OF negroes had assembled together,
and there were also few gentlemen de
termincd to assist Mr. Beazcy in case of
necessity Cries were heard from all,
"This is q good time 10 get even with the
white trash :'"Take her from him" They
did not do it, however, and Mr.. Beazley
and his few friends kept perfectly cool, and
bv their demeanOr prevented an indis-
rriminaie fight The police had been tel
ephOned for and soon arrived, and the
parties above named were taken into
custody.
Addie Shackleford, William Ii. Dudley,
Simon Woodbridge and George Anderson
were fined each so and costs, and re.
Quired to give security in the sum of 5000
for twelve months Woodbridge paid his
fine and gave security. The Others went
to Jail in default Jacob Brown was dis
charged.
The ringleader the tall man with the
plug hat, who wanted to wade through
blood, has not yet been arrested, as he is
in hiding. A warrant is out for him and
he will soon be In the hands of the Off

but an abrasion of the skin. For this
demonstration Of anger Couch was fined
$40 and costs, and required TO give Sc
curity in the sum OF 5000 for twelve
