AFTER BOGUS DETECTIVES.
Blood Thirsty Does Not Recognize n
Negroes Badge.


a negro named A. II. Garland was ar
rested by Officer Vest early yesterday
morning for tresrassing on the Norfolk
and Western railroad tracks. On being
commanded to halt, the negro immedi-
ately drew detective badge from his
pocket, bearing the name of a certain
bogus agency in Cincinnati, and said he
supposed that would pass him any
where.
"Come ON with me, negro" said
BLOOD Thirsty" "that thing is no more
than blacking-box top to me-"
And the negro detective, surprised and
ohagrined, was hustled off before the
mayor and fined 81. In default OF pay
ment he was sent to Jail, but his fine
was paid later in the day and he was
released.
There are about dozen of these
bogus detectives in the city at present
They make application to swindling
Cincinnati agency, who sells them a
badge and commission to work, not
withstanding the code of Virginia i'm
poses heavy penalty on all persons
passing as detectives who are working
without the authority of the governor
and county courts.
The police are making an investiga-
ton Of the matter, and will make 1t
warm for detectives who are not prop
