$2-Passed One Bill.


A week ago last, Saturday night a
negro visited A. Daye's store and
passed "bogus" bill on one Of the
statesmen.
1t was rather unique wrinkle. The
bill was worth $3.50 but it was passed
for 81 Here is how it was "doctored,"
by the negro or somebody else: A 81
and So bill were cut into. Half OF the
one dollar bill was pasted on the half
of the two dollar. The salesman saw
the figure two and of course accepted
it for 81.
The statesmen in the store were no.
titled to keep watch for the next bill
of the same figures.
Saturday night a negro came in
and bought some candy. He wanted
to pay for it with bill No. 2, but his
trick did not work. The salesman
grabbed the negro by the coat collar
and called TOR the ''purlice, but no
officer was in sight. The forger broke
Loose and ran,leaving his candy and
s'bogus' money.
Daye has the money and will have
it sent to Uncle Sam, at Washington,

REVENUE SEIZURE.
1t Was Taken Off of Capt. Stages
Train in Greensboro,

Some of the revenue force was at
the Southern depot, in Greensboro,
Friday night, when the train from
Winston came in, says the Record.
As usual, there were several kegs of
liquor on board by express, all shipped
by the same party. Col. Clark, reve-
nue. agent, was the first man to see
that the shipment was irregular and
at once had it seized.
DULY few days ago the men were
at the depot preparing to leave town,
when their attention was called to a
barrel of liquor, but it appeared to be
stamped all correctly. Accompanying
it, however, were three boxes, marked
groceries, directed to the same party
as was the barrel.
The officers ''smelled a mice" and
at once seized the boxes. On opening
them each contained barrel OF liquor
with no sign of a stamp on it and was
neatly packed around with paper,
Wedged in tight to keep the barrel
from moving, the box being of white
pine, and looking exactly like boxes
used for the transportation Of gro

HOW NEGRO WAS CAUGHT.
HE STOLE SOME SUGAR FROM
HIS BOSS.
Had il Hid in His Overcoat-The Drive
Down Street-SamboJ Jumped from
the Buggy When 1t Stopped
Near the Police Station.

the Buggy men III SOPpcu
Near the Police Station.
A colored man, in the employ of
one of Winston's business men, was
suspicioned of stealing sugar from the
formers larder a few days ago. Here
is how it all came about:
The darkey left his overcoat hang
ing up in the room where the buggy
lap-rope was kept. When the bust
ness man went to get the latter the
coat fell with heavy thug. This
aroused suspicion and upon examina-
tion one pocket of the coat was found
to contain several pounds of sugar,
wrapped up in paper.
The employer decided to say moth
ing of the theft. but await further
developments. After hitching up the
darkey went after his coat. Or course
he missed his sugar. Upon returning
to the buggy he said:
"Boss, had some sugar in my coat
which / bought for my wife; some
body's done stole it,"
The employer accused the darkey of
stealing The sugar himself but this
the employee bitterly denied, telling
his boss the name Of the merchant
from whom he made the purchase.
They drove down street. On the
way the employers remarks were
rather brief and not delivered in a
very pleasant tone Of voice. Every
few minutes the darkey would say:
BOSS, l believes you's mad at me.
You doesn't talk right l kinder
thinks you believes L stole dat sugar;
but / didn't.
Mr.. formulated his plan to
catch the negro while going to his
place of business. When they reach
ed Frank Browns store the horse was
turned as if the .'boss" expected to
get out. Here it was noticed that
the darkey's legs and voice were
growing shaky. They moved On to the
entrance which goes up to the police
department. The horse was stopped
but the negro went on. He jump
ed out OF the buggy running,
and has not been seen since.
A darkey standing near by remarked:
mister, what's dat niger done? l
never saw niger run so fast before
in my life"
The business man was not certain
of the darkey's guilt until the stop
was made at the City Hall. He says
he was not goine to report him to the
officers, but just worked his plan to
test Sambo's nerves.
