stolen from his residence on last Saturday
afternoon. The shot gun originally cost
Sl85OO, but was purchased by him for
$4,000. Mr.. McCrea suspicioned Mr..
Bob Looney, who with negro man, from
Mr.. Schillings tin shop, had been sent to
do some tin work in his bath house. The
gun was there while Looney was at work,
and wasn't there after Looney quit work.
Monday morning, Mr.. McCrea swore out a
warrant for Looney and placed it in the
hands Of Deputy Marshal Moon. Mr.. Me-
Orea went into Mr.. Schilling's tin shop,
leaving TIE Marshal outside. He boldly
accused Looney of stealing the gun.
Looney denied it. Mr.. McCrea reiterated
his charge and told him if he would pro,
dnce the gun he would drop the matter.
Looney said it was doing him great in
justice to make such an untounded charge,
as he vas innocent. Mr.. McCrea said he
would be sorry to do him wrong, and if it
was disclosed that he had done him an in>
justice he would pay damages, but he in>
tended to have his gun. Deputy Marshal
Moon was called and the three went to the
residence of Mrs. Looney. the mother OF
Bob, and thorough search was made in
the house but the gun couldn't be found.
LooDey said he was perfectly willing for
the search to be made as he knew he was
innocent Finally Marshal Moon crawled
under the house and behind the chimney
he found the gun. AS he came out with
it, Looney fed to the woods and escaped.
Mr.. McCrea was overjoyed vt the recovery
of his gun. Loouey is unde" 800 bond
charged with killing some ducks while out
hunting. in the country, the grand jury
having found true bill against him and
several others. Mayor T. w. Glover is his
bondsman, and offered ten dollars reward
for Looney's arrest. On Monday night,
the house of Mrs Looney was watched,
and q party was seen to leave the house
with Bob Looney's clothes. He was fol-
lowed by Msrshal Parks, Deputy Marshal
Moon. Sheriff McLain, Ed Williams and
George Fleming. The parties scattered
and surrounded neck of woods near Frey q
gin on Roswell road about two miles from
town. Looney was seen to step out of the
woods and meet the party with his clothes.
AS he did so, the signal was given and the
crowd closed in upon him and captured
him. He was brought to town and placed
in Jail. Mr.. Will Mckinney was the friend
who carried him his clothes. 1t is to be
regretted that Looney has acted in the
manner in which he has.
