james johnson Battles the Efforts Of
Agent Stout to Arrest Him.
James Johnson, colored the owner of
the old gray horse which excited the sym
pathy and pity of so many citizens by its
sufferings on Sunday morning has, so
far. successfully defeated the efforts Of
Agent Frank Stout of the S P. @ A to
bring him to justice Twice did Mr..
Stout, his counsel and witnesses appear
hsfoce Squire Smith, but on both occasions
johnson was not there.
Johnson is an employe in the service of
"Uncle Sam" and while on duty it is
thought to be Illegal to arrest him. His
father has promised Mr. Stout TO bring
him to the Justices Office but did not do
SC. When johnson ceases to work each
evening it is believed he betakes himself
out Of the way to avoid arrest.
The Frazer letter ia the Morning News,
unjust and misleading as it was, has
nettled Mr.. Stout, and he vows to land
the prisoner before another day Mr.
Stout was on the scene Of the outrage as
soon as it was possible TOR him to be
there. and . few hours later served a
summons on johnson. w. F. Smalley
appeared for johnson last evening.

Robbers Entcr Benjamin Hough's Resi-
dence and steal $500 of Jewelry.
One Of the most daring burgla-ies per
| pstrated in the city for some time was
committed last evening, by unknown
robbers, who broke into the residence Of
Benjamin Hough. No. 706 jackson street,
and stole about $500 worth OF jewelTy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hough left home about
7.30 O'clock last evening TO VISIT friend
and lett the doors and windows closed
and the house deserted On returning
about 80 o'clock they were surprised to
discover articles Of furniture spread
about the rooms and everything in the
house overturned.
Mrs. Hough's room was ransacked, the
locks Of the doors picked, and a quantity
o jewelry belonging to Mrs Hough con
ssEing Of rings. watch, trinkets, neck
laces and bracelets worth about $500.
missing The burglars hal evidently
been in the search Of money and in their
quest pulled down cabinets, ransacked
closets, overturned chests, invaded bed
rooms and in short left not an article
from cellar to ceiling that they did not
mlnUtslg Inspect, Fortunately no money
was Ia tie hou % at the time.
Everything was in such a confused
cordi ion when the owners returned that
It was impossible to say what had been
taken. The burglars evidently did not
want to be encumbered by heavy loads,
as many articles Of value were left be-
hind. which on account of their bulk
would be inconvenient TO remove, and
would be likely to attract attention.
The burglars entered from the rear Of
the house through the cellar window,
which was broken open As Mr. and
Mrs. Hough dtd not intend to leave their
house and no one could have previously
known Of 1t, 1t is conjectured that the
robher must have seen them depart and
taken advantage of the occasion to commit
the robbery. From the way in which
they entered and escaped detection, it
would appear that they had been thor
oughly acquainted with the house They
could not have been ia a great hurry as
considerable time was necessary for the
accomplishment of their thorough search.
The police were notified and proceeded
Immediately to mske Investigations. but
as yet they have not succeeded in making
ary arrests
