CHoCTAw BILL ARRESTED.

A Negro Desperate Who is Thought to
Have Held up TWO Armed Hunters.
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
One evening last fall or winter two
huntsmen who were returning from a sea-
son of sport in the forests of Arkansas
were held up and robbed by three negroes
at or near the corner of Talbot and Shell
by streets. The robbery, in view OF the
fact that the men were hunters and both
armed was the boldest ever heard of in
This city, and every man connected with
the police force was extraordinarily alert
in his efforts to catch the hghwaymen.
But the latter escaped for the time The
gentlemen, who were northerners visiting
in this city, returned short about 500 in
cash, a sold watch and pistol.
Gradually the robbery drifted out Of the
minds of the public, but the police never
forgot it. At the time il occurred they
got clew to the hghwaymen, but aid
not make it known. Their information
pointed strongly to tough negro known
as "Choctaw Bill" He had been seen in
this city, and after the hold-up disap-
peared.
Presumably for the first time since he
was seen here last fall, he again made
his appearance in this city. He got in
Saturday and yesterday Officers Herman
and Barrow arrested him in South Mem
pms. he was pldteu IN the STATION mouse
and his name was entered on the secret
docket.
"Choctaw Biz is notorious in many
parts Of this country. He has rambled all
over the south and a large portion OF the
west. ana has traversed the Mississippi
river from as far up as it Is navigable 10
| its mouth. He has no other name, so he
says, but the one by which he is known.
| "Choctaw," the police claim, ~ the man
! who planned and executed the robbery OF
| the huntsmen One man with a revolver
! in each hand made the huntsmen hold ~
| their dukes" while his two Confederates
went through the pockets Of the victims.
| "Choctaw" Is the man that presided so
| gracefully over the hold-up, 80 the on
GERS say. "Choctaw" is somewhat In the
| dark as to why he Is behind the bars, but
| he has been told that he rs wanted IN
Kentucky for murder and In other places
/ for crimes.
"Choctaw Bill" Is powerfully built
negro, very black, and nervous IN his
] manners.

ToURIsrs COMO RARLY.
This Winters Travel Expected to Be
Larger Than Ever Known.


In spite of the fact that the winter sea-
son has not yet begun. there appears to
be considerable northern travel coming
in this direction. The registers of the De
Soto and other hotels show a number Of
northern guests each day Many of
these are people who own homes in
Florida, and who are coming down in ad
vance of the cold weather.
The number of northern people calling
at the Plant system ticket Office for
tickets and information is larger than
usual at this season. The indications
are for a large tourist travel this fall and
winter Mr.. Powers of Watson q Pow
ers of the De Soto, who spent a large
part of the summer in the north, reports
that the number of inquirers as to Sa-
vannah was larger than he had ever
known before.
Il prided myself that the DeSoto was
we'll known" said Mr.. Powers, but ]
was surprised to find how well it was
known. People whom did not recognize
at all would come up and call me by name
and ask about Savannah and the DeSoto.
All seemed TO have pleasant memories of
their stay here and stated their intention
of coming again. The belief is that this
winter Will be severe one, in which case
our travel will begin early and be very
heavy. ! am satisfied that the coming
season VIII be better than the last one
Last season We had the worlds fair and
the warm winter to contend against us
we'll as the money stringency. With a
cold winter we ought to get a big travel
this season. I hardly expect the season
of '9i-'95 to equal that of '92-'93, which was
the greatest ever known. All South
Georgia and Florida was filled with
northern tourists that season. The effects
of that boom are lasting, however, which
means that large travel south every win
ter is now an established fact and not
likely to be diverted TO other channels"

Phil Fitzpatrick was fined $50 by Re
corder Wilson in the police court yester-
day morning for selling liquor on Sun
day.
Detectives Bossen and Kavanaugh and
Policeman Mcclure were the witnesses
for the city. They testified that while
the doors of Fttzpatrlck's place We're
closed, they could hear voices inside and
by looking through a hole in the door
saw walters going into the barroom and
returning with drinks. They could also
hear orders being given.
The recorder concluded that as it was
not a very aggravated case, it being
only shortly after midnight Saturday
night when the offense was committed,
and the parties inside probably being
connected with the establishment, that
he would make the fine only $50. As usual
the case will be appealed to council.
