Alfred Johnson,s Hard Luck.

Alfred Johnson is the name given
by a man who halls from New Jersey
and who has recently had some ex-
citing experiences in this part of
the country. Johnson says he is a
machinist, and he is dead broke. He
bears very striking resemblance to
one William Garrison, of Roanoke, Va,
who is wanted by the police for assault
and ATTEMPTED murder in that city,
and for whose capture 500 reward Is
offered. Last Monday night Johnson
staid all night at the Antietam Ce-
ment Mills,and Tuesday morning came
up to Shepherdstown. He begged
around town until Sergeant Maddox
advised him to leave, which he did.
After he had departed it was rumored
that the man was GARRISON. Sergeant
Maddox and Roland Myers started
after him, determined to capture him
and get that hundred dollars. They
trailed him to Mr.. cambridge :, where
he was putting away good breakfast.
Roland was first on the scene, and he
sternly informed the man that he was
under arrest. The poor fellow meekly
requested that he be allowed to finish
his breakfast, the first square meal he
had had for some time Sergeant
Maddox had arrived by this time, and
after searching the prlsoner-who, by
the way, hadn't thing IN his pockets
permitted him to finish eating. Then
they compared him with the descup-
ton Of Garrison. He bore a most re-
markable resemblance to that desper-
ado, but had no piece bitten out OF his
left ear, and therefore was not the
night man. He was turned loose, but
hadn' gotten a mile away before he
was overtaken by Messrs. Getzedau-
ner, Munday and CleI Reynolds, who
didn't know that he had already been
arrested and released. They surround
ed him, and he had to 90 through
another cross examination. He proved
his innocence, and the last seen OF him
he was headed for KeaIneysyille.
johnson says that he was chased by the
policemen at Alexandra recentIy,who
also thought he was Garrison,and they
shot at HIM repeatedly, putting three
or four bulIet-holes in his hat, which
he was carrying in his hand.
Garrison, the real villain, is still at
large, though nearly all the y. q W.
train hands are on the lookout for him.
He is said to be desperate fellow.

A Successful Coon Hunt.

Last Thursday night party Of men
from the neigaborhood Of Molers Cross
Roads, with some friends who had
come over from Maryland, went coon
hunting. They got plenty Of game.
The dogs struck hot trail on Daniel
Links place, which they followed to
Mrs. Link woods, and soon they were
barking up four separate trees. y
pair of shining eyes were located in
the top of an oak, and Cornelius Car
ter climbed the tree. When he shook
the limb on which he saw the animal
a big coon dropped to the ground,
and when the dogs tackled it the fur
flew. When Brer Coon had been
conquered, another tree yielded the
same sort of fruit and a similar fight.
The operation was repeated twice
more, and after two hours Of the hard
est sort Of fighting and sport dear to
a coon hunters heart four enormous
'coons lay dead on the ground. One
of them weighed % pounds, one q,
and the two smallest 20 pounds each.

Charles Robkins. Master Mechanic of the Choctaw & Memphis Railroad with headquarters at Little Rock. was in the city Saturday night. Mr. Rob kins was en route home from Memphis but it is said his feet became too tender to ride in the upholstered palace car, so he decided to stop over in this city with his old friend M. V. Hancock ,and await the arrival of the local freight train. We met MT. Robkins and found hlm most genial and jovial gentle man, and learned that the true reason for his being in our city was because of an impression which led him to think that the evening train stopped at this place twenty minutes for supper, which is usually the case. He thought to take advantage of this twenty minutes stop to indulge in chat with his old friend Hancock. On this particular oc. casion, however, there were no passen- gers on the train who desired supper. and when the locomotive had been oil. ed and the baggage disposed of. the train pulled out, leaving the master mechanic no alternative but to remain in Forrest City all night. The experi- -nce was no doubt greatly enjoyed at least We hope so.
