COLONEL BAKERS CIGARS.
His Nephew Narrowly Escapes Ar
rest While in Quest for Them.

Colonel James c. Baker. who came II
Richmond on Saturday from Salem, after
having been mustered out Of the service,
left for his home at Woodstock on Sun
day night over the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway. He departed innocent Of the fact
that his forgeufulness had almost led TO
the arrest of his nephew. Gamble Bow
ers. Colonel Baker spent Sunday evening
with his sister. Mrs. Charles x. Bowers,
on east Clay street. He had with him a
box Of fine cigars, which he forgot when
he left the house TO take the train. His
sister. as soon as she saw that her
brother had left his cigars behind, sent
them TO Murphy's Hotel. where the Colo
mel intended to call before going 10 the
depot. A few minutes after 10 o'clock
Colonel Baker called at his sisters for
the package he had forgotten. He was
told that the cigars were at Murphy's.
and his nephew, Gamble Bowers, volun
tcered to go after them.
Just as the youth turned the corner Of
Tenth street there was a terrific bonn
bardment at the Woman's College. 1t
sounded as though a whole battery was
at work. As Master Bowers reached the
college a number Of young snen started
off on the run. Bowers looked behind him
TO see a policeman coming. He was al
ready on the run. with the young men a
half a block ahead of him. and the blue
coat about an equal distance behind him.
The young men ran into an alley, while
Bowers kept on towards the hotel. The
policeman followed Bowers, believing that
he was the young man who was respon-
sible for the noise.
Bowers was too neet-footed for the
bluecoat. and the policeman lost his
quarry on Broad street. When he had Sc
cured his uncle's cigars Bowers returned
home by another route. He feared that
IL he met the policeman he would be I'M
able to convince him that he had not had
a hand in exploding the crackers at the
college I'm time 10 hand the cigars TO his
uncle before the train left.
A number Of mischievous young men
have been firing crackers in the neigh
'borhood Of the Woman's College nightly
for the last few evenings. Their conduct
is very annoying to the residents OF the
neighborhood. and the police are Keep
ing a sharp lookout for them.
