A Now Connin Rich

Mr.. S. A. Waggoner, who resides at No.
1912 west Marshall street. was aroused
from his slumbers yesterday morning in a
rather unusual way. Hearing noise in
front of his house, he rushed to the win
dow and looked ont. On the pavement
below were four darkies with greedy ex-
pressions on their faces and rocks and
sticks in their hands. They were making
tusilade upon an object on limb of the
tree which stood just in front of Mr.. Wag-
goner's window. and when this gentleman
saw the animal which was being so vi
ciously sought by the negroes was large
coon, ID was only few feet from has
window. The Marshall-street sports finally
succeeded III bagging their, game and went
on their way rejoicing. Mr.. Waggoner,
however, was not left in so happy mood,
as he contemplates that he will have to
keep his windows barred down all the
summer in order TO keep the coons out.
