ABSOLUTELY THE BEST,
LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

Last Saturday evening y little sensa-
ton was created by the arrest OF num-
Der of our citizens Of both races---that is
OF the Caucasian and the Negro race.
The sensation, though small, was suffi.
ciently large 10 cause our policemen to
hustle around so that none should get
away. The immediate cause OF the dis
turbance was difference OF opinion as
to the fairness of game of craps.
(Reader,if You know just what that game
is you may explain 1.-THE writer can.
not.)
1t Is ininaterial as to what the
game OF craps is. 1t is sufficient to say
that 1t is one of those games in which
people of all colors engage in for gamb.
ling purposes. The ranch in which the
game was being conducted: was the Gel.
lar under Charley Utman's furniture
store. The place is kept by one Clem
Williams, so says The Mayors docket.
This Mr.. Williams, through his attor.
ney. was claiming great privileges under
the constitution az to personal rights,
but on sober second thought it was con-
ciuded to leave the case at the mercy of
the court, and the Mayor in kind way
said that $40 and costs would make it
right. We don't know how much ::of
fine could have been imposed for an Of
Tense OF this kind, but we have this to
say, that men who keep places where
the law of the land is continually violat.
ed, should be severely dealt with. And
now comes list OF names which we
take no delight in publishing, but it
may have salutary effect in prevent
ing those who, for the first time, have
their names in the papers as Law. break.
ers from again appearing in the same
role.
We find that Joe Mason, VIM. Wilson,
Carey Williams, Sam Williams and Hill.
lard Moore (all colored), with Val Nc
Connaughey and Mike Mcmahon
(white) were engaged ia the game.
These parties, with the exception of
Moore, who has skipped, have all paid
their SIS and costs, or it is still hanging
over their heads ready to be collected or
pecked out on the stone pile. Those
who were enjoying the sport, if. not the
row that followed, were Herd Day,s,J Joe
jenkins, VIM. Dryden, Put ::Kilgore and
a gentleman whose name is set down on
the Mayors book as Skinny Stevens.
AS has been said it affords us no pleas.
ure to publish these names, and it is to
be hoped that the publication OF the
names may prove preventative on the
parties themselves and others.
A SUPPLEMENTAL LIST.
On Sunday morning the dodgers of the
gas house were disturbed by too strong
current of electricity or some other
local cause; at least there was disturb
ance and it seems that several parties
were more or less interested in what
took place at the gas house as we'll as
what took place at the Mayors office.
The dodgers who took an active part or a
part that is set forth on the docket with
lettering, strolling, lurking about the gas
house were James Mcintyre, David
Woods and Bob Murphy; by the way
Bob has set up the plea of leave OF
absence. Bob is strongly of the opinion
that the harness at the Infrmay stands
in need OF his immediate attention, as
the harness was not just in No. con-
dition when he left that institution. 1t
is quite probable that Mayor Dawson in
view of the fact that the harness must
be repaired for spring work may send
Robert, thread and avis to do the jour-
neyman work at the County House,
But the names OF Jerry Madden and
Nal Kittrell must be added to the gai
house list. Nal is much better known
in the circles in which he moves by the
more euphonious name of "Squint." II
has been mentioned that all the parties
were interested in what took place al
the Mayors Office; from this list must
be taken the name of Squint Kittrell
Squint has sbsconded and is not to be
found, 80 Hillsboro loses one in popu.
lation and also loses the $5 fine which
was set opposite his and each name oi
dodgers.
