BEATEN WITH A SLAB.
A CONVICT GUARDS BRUTAL
TREATMENT OF A PRISONER.

HJames Collins Whipped and Beaten
While in Bed Sick, and Then Padded
by the Chief of the Cuyler swamp
Gang j. ]. Brady the Offending
Guard--A Warrant for His Arrest,
But He Can't Be Found.
James Collins, who was sent to the chain
gang a short time since for cattle stealing,
\ has not Jared well since he has been in
6Cuyler swamp He is in ill-health and has
been under the treatment of Dr. Chisholm
ever since he was sent there. Besides his
|providential ailments he is now in bed suf-
fering from the effects of most brutal
beating at the hands of j. J. Brady, acting
chief of the gang.
On Jan 8 Collins had placed a basin Of
water near his bunk for some purpose, when
Brady came in and asked who had put the
water there. Collins said that he did it,
Brady became furious, and Collins got
frightened as he anticipated a whipping and
told the boss" he was sick. This seemed
to lnfuriate Brady dll the more and he said /:
u know how sick you are. You can't
play off on me. You nor DR.. Chisholm
either can fool me-
WIN THIS he commenced whipping Col
Inns with his buggy whip. After he had
whipped him some time with the lash he
Hclubbed the whip and began beating the
convict over the head with the butt end.
The next morning Brady renewed his bru-
tality by making two of the guards hold
Collins down. He then got a board and
whiting one end down to a convenient
handle he proceeded to beat Collins again.
Exhausted by his punishment, Collins was
compelled to go to bed His bruises and
wounds were so severe that he could not lie
on his back, and for week he was pros
strated on his stomach in a most horrible
condition. Those who have seen him say
that his legs thighs and back present q
Rrevolting sight.
As soon as Brady realized the extent of
fhis brutal work he skipped A warrant has
been issued for his arrest, but he cannot be
found in the city. The matter will undergo
a thorough investigation by the county au
thorities.

Sol Williams (colored), was taken to the
City Court yesterday from the Police Court
for larceny from the house. He was tried
Immediately, found guilty and sentenced to
six months on the chain-gang. The article
stolen was a razor. 1t was taken from f.
G. Wilson, a barber, last Saturday night
Williams offered TO sell the razor to another
barber named Castor, and here he made
his blunder, for CASTOR recognized the razor
as one he had loaned Wilson a few weeks
before His name was upon the handle. AS
soon as Castor charged Williams with
having stolen the razor and said something
about sending for policeman Williams
took to his heels. He was caught at the
City Exchange and lodged in the barracks
