"Pickpockess" Arrested.

One day last week three young
white men entered the bookstore of
j. r. Justice, on Liberty street, and
goods. On doing as requested, the
clerks attention was attracted to
other parts of the store by questions
from one of the gang" while the
others placed some of the articles in
their pockets, sleeves and other
places to secrete them. This was
continued for some minutes, every
movement of the thieves being that
of experienced robbers and pick
pockets, when the clerk looked in the
show case for package of articles
and detected the robbery through
the mirror.
Mr.. Justice was iInmedia tely mott
fed. About that time the gang"
pleasantly sauntered out, without
any purchases. save that of IL nickel
book, and walked up the street Mr.
Justice, in the role of detective, fol-
lowe'i and caught them in the act OF
distributing and dividing spo;Is. An
arrest was Immediately rlade and
| the robbers arraigned before Justice
Pegram. A search resulted in finding
stolen goods on two OF the party,
both of whom were sent to jail in de
| fault of 500 bonds; the latter was
dismissed for want of evidence.
The outlaws are strangers in the
city and gave assumed names to the
officials. Two Of them are brothers,
their real name being Burgess and
they all hail, ii is thought, from some
rural district in the adjoining eoun.

John Robinson's Show.

Monopolies are almost exclusively
organized upon the basis of giving
the people the least possible quantity
ard charging them the biggest
possible price for it. In plain words,
this is swindling. Envious inferiori-
ty somtimes calls our Greatest Show
on Earth" q monopoly
Well, SO it is; but mark well
in what different sense and
upon what different principles. 1t
gives the public d great deal more,
and Of a better quality, for the least
possible price, than was ever given,
or any one else can give. This is the
broad, honest and generous basis
upon which we are monopolizing the
business of travelling shows. The
field is a big one. Let Others do like
wise, If they want to, or can.
A visit to this great show, vastly
auemeptcd by the addition of the
masterpiece of the master mind OF
American artists, viz, King Solomon,
his Temple, and the Queen of Sheba,
replate with sacred realisms, histori-
cal aecuracies, biblical events, colossal
ceremonies, and the sDlendors and
glories OF the court Of Solomon, the
seer, the patriarch, and grandest
and greatest OF ancient kings, will
prove one of the mostinteresting and
ENJOYABLE events of our day.

THE CRIMINAL CAUGHT.
A Wilkes County Youth Fatally
Wounds His Aged Father.

In Wilkes county Sherman Greer
shot and mortally wounded his aged
father. The crime attracts much
attention. The Wilkesboro Chroni-
Gle says that Greer, who is about 20
years old. went home drunk, and
made such a disturbance that his
father ordered him out of the house.
He went and came back, repewin g
his cursing. His father again Or
dered him out. He swore he would
not go, and as his father approached
him for the purpose of taking hold
of him, he shot his father in the
left breast. Francis Watson, who
was present, caught hold of the old
| man and the boy shot him again,
the bail ranging through the pit of
the stomach and lodging against
the backbone. Sherman then left,
accompanied by Watson, and pass
ing by where his two crippled broth
ers were at work, told them he had
shot the "preach," q name he ap-
piled to his father, and that he was
going to get some cartridges. come
back and kill them. He went to thu
store, got cartridges, and he and
Watson went into John Church s
house, the family being from home,
and spent the night. Next morning
| constable Beshears and posse at
tempted to arrest him, several shots
being fired. Fayette Walsh, of the
posse, received a severe shot in the
thigh. Sherman escaped, accompa-
MED by Watson. T. A. Church
gathered up a posse and followed
them. At Sutherland's they over
took them. but they again escaped
in the laurel thickets, Church's men
firing forty shots at them. Greer
and Watson went from there to
Tennessee, but returned to Watau-
ga, the Tennessee authorities press
ing them too closely. When they

A Racket ON . street Car.

Conductor E. L. Bell, of car No.
8, while going on regular
trip up Liberty street on last Sun
day was attacked by several young
men and badly beat up.
Bell had just been out of bed
about two weeks from a spell of ty-
phoid fever. His offense was that
he objected to the young men smo-
king on his car, contrary to tho rules
of tho company, and objecting to
fares being wrung up for which he
was solely responsible.
This is the case for the State and
we are dealing q gooddeal more
gently with'it than we viii with its
repetition. The young men are no
doubt nice, clever fellows ordina-
rily, but this kind Of business WON'T
do and if we did not utter protest
we should be failing in an impor-
tant duty to this community.
