Link Str0hcrkcr. Theatrical Mama
ger. Held to the Grand Jury.

At Higginsville Monday, Link Stro-
heCker, one of the proprictOrS OF the
wards of Georgia lIamlin company, Il
travelling theatrical party, was given Il
preliminary hearing before Justice Bry-
ant, for robbery in the first degree, and
held to the grand jury in $3.50 bail.
While the company was playing an en-
gagemcnt at the Lehman opera house II
lady member of the company, Miss Rose
Coolidge, severed her connection, and,
after the entertainment, packed her ward
robe and had the trunk taken Ia thc
hotel, where she secured IA different room
from the one assigned her 10y the man
ger of the show. When StrOhcckcr went
To the hotel, the woman alleged in the
hearing, he forced his way into her room
and took Il part of her property, claiming
il as the property of the company.
At first StrohrCkcr could not give tn"
bail demanded, and was committed to the
lligGinsvillc Jail pending his efforts, aud
the arrival of the time when the officers
might turn him over to the county Tailor.
County Attorney Aull, who prosecuted
the hearing, came home on the ate moo
train, and that night Stroheckcr's attor-
neys, Messrs. Nivion and james, OF iliG-
ginsville, hunted up the Justice of the
peace and tried to get the man released ON
Il writ of habcaS corpus. Failing in this,
they induced the Justice to reduce the
bond TO 500, which Strohcckcr gave, and
was released. Ills liberty was of short
duration, however, for Constable Evans,
not satisfied III his W mind that the re-
duction of the bail 10y the justice, without
first consulting Mr.. Aull was legal and
rop"r re-arrcstcd the man and threat
ened Ia again lock him up il the required
bail was not given. This was done, and
Strohcckcr was permitted to go until the
March term of the criminal court.
VALUABLE CAT.
IN. (inSnNNiSnb and On IN-ut,r 4 t,,I,.r.,r,I
rel ofter were standing in front oi the
Doctors Office n day or two ago, when The
physician said: "if no one is waiting in
my office. | will accompany you" As he
opened his Office dCot an immense yellow
cat walked out, gave n whitening slanc,
down the steps, II then started majeSti-
cally down the hall to the rear.
81 know by that" said Dr. oscwisch, in
eX PLANTATION, "that no one is in the office
for the cat would nave left the room upon
the arrival oi 4 visitor. ] never need tC
go to the top of the steps to see if | have q
visitor when | return to the Office, for as
soon as one comes, "Burrrickkk," who
sleeps in a cushioned chair in the Office,
invariably goes out AS you have Just seen
him, and returns when the visitor is gone
After being away any length of time
| open the street door and look up to the
head of the stairs. II the cat does not al
once walk out, | know that some one is
waiting, the cat having retired ut his
coming.
"rhe cat is 10Y over 20 years old. Dur
ing the past ten years he slept with an ole
colored woman, Aunt Mariah, who died
last winter ut the extreme age OF % years
His nightly company was necessary tC
keep the mice from nibbling her toes. OF
late, on accoun OF aetal changes, he has
become so cross, irascible and 'sot in his
ways that he will allow no one but my
mother or myself to touch him. He is
equal to a twenty-dollar-a-mC nth Office
boy"
