HE IS STILL AT LARGE.
The Lady Courageously Attempts to
Hold Him But lie
Gets Away,


A big bnrly negro sneakingly
stole up behind Miss Emma HvsIop
on East Sixth avenue Saturday
morning aud snatched her purse
from her hand. She grabbed the
impudent coon" aud held him for
several moments, but ne quickly I'M
buStoned his vest, which she tightly
held and slipped from her grasp.
Mss Hyslop was left standing on
the walk with the soied garment IA
her hand, while the smooth thief
ran from view. She was enroute
from town to her hom at the time
of the mishap, and as soon as she
reached her home she notified the
public authorities o. the occurrence.
Constable Stewart went to the
scene Immediately with bis famous
blood hounds, who took The track of

took au oat.of-the way route ia his
efforts to evade the police, that is
Judging FROM the directions the
hounds followed him aud when last
heard from, he had successfully
skipped. The last reports as to the
whereabouts OF the officers, were
that they were giving the fugitive
good run tor bis money in the vicin-
ity of the Sulphur Springs road
about FIVE miles from this caty.
Miss Hyslop's purse COZ talned

LATER-Mr. Stewart and party
together with the dogs returned 10

chased the fleeing COON several
miles into the country and when
nearing thick wooded part the
track was lost. They later located
him and returned to this city to
leave the dogs here. They left
again for the springs road and up
to a very late hour Saturday night

THE RESULT OF MARRIAGE

Police, Causes Two Fires

Mitchell, the florist, and has been in
her employ for several years.
About four months ago he mar
RED a negress by the name of Carrie
Brown, and then, as IS the case
with most married men, his trouble
began. He was forced to appear in
the police court on several different
occasions to get his better half out
of trouble.
In fact, as their married life pro-
crossed, they became very coaspic-
uous figures in police circles.
Friday afternoon, Charley and his
little "ink-stand tootsie wootsie'
had family row. The fracas be-
came spirited Dinner plates were
brought into the discussion and lat

in an alley.
Ee jumped into Yrs. Joe Cou-
sotte's yard and secreted himself in
a barn or a storeroom. The vigi-
liant officers followed, but the room
was too dark to see their fugitive.
One of the patrolmen lit a match
