clothing store OF Joseph Jacobs, on
Hanover street, on Saturday morning
about $3.50 o'clock, and was arrested
by officers Walters, Ferrang and Gull
der McMillen pulled gun but did not
use 1t when he saw the policemen. The
front door had been forced open with a
mattock and Ratchet, and made SO
much noise that 1t was heard by the po-
llcemen, and while the Cinnamon were
at work In their laundry nearby. Nc

with two others several days ago, and
changed his hat n number OF times.

cOlored people. They are indignant,
and may take some action in regard TO
the matter II they can do so in legal
way.
One strange thing about the man who
was arrested here and convicted and
sent to the penltentiary, and who gave
the name OF Fred Jones, has never
given any other name and has not writ
ten TO a single friend or relative OF his.
He is said to be well educated, and
frequently wrote for other prisoners in
the county jail, and does this at Column
bus, he never writes TO any OF his
friends or talks about them.
