A FOOL NIGGER
Tried to Pass $2o.Oo Confederate
 Bill for Genuine Money.

Deputy Sherilf Robert Johnson had fish to walk into his net yester- day (Sunday). He was on hls way to Dumas, looking out for suspicious characters. While on the train negro, Thomas White, made a 15c purchase from the train butcher and handed over Q $20 Confederate bill, calling for his change. The butcher asked him if he was trying to pass anything like that. The negro said he was trying to do that thing. The butcher called Johnson and had White arrested. White then said that he took the bill to be genuine. He saw negro boy with it and snatched it away and jumped on the train. Whether the charge against the negro will be robbery, passing counterfeit money or obtaining money under false pretenses, the catch is Q good one.
 
 Another negro was arrested on the train. One by the name of Eli Johnson tried to dodge the conduc- tor. He failed at that and then said he didn't have but fifteen cents to pay 20-cent fare. The conductor would not accept that. The conduc-
 
 tor called Johnson, who told the ne- gro to step out from his hiding place. The negro offered to pawn a knife, and then offered to pawn Q pis- tol. When he pulled out the pistol the deputy arrested him for having it in his possession. He is a suspi- cious character.
