BURGLARS AT WORK.

Three Store Houses Entered-One of the
Negroes Shot.
AS Officer Goad and Special Off
Ger Chatfin were coming from the
depot early yesterday morning about
2 o'clock, they noticed light in the
store of J. d. Blount 81 Co., corner
High and Eleventh streets, They
started towards the store to investi-
gate, when five negroes made their
exit and started to run. The officers
gave chase and Officer Goad fred
five shots at the fleeing forms. One
of the negroes dropped some bun
dies which he had under his arms,
and the officers, not knowing that
any of the shots had taken effect,
gave up their chase and returned to
the store. At daylight yesterday
morning one of the negroes was
found on Garden street near the
railroad, lying against the fence.
He was suffering from a wound in
his hip, having been struck by one
of the shots from officer GOad's pis-
toll. He was removed to Eli Bow
er's house on South Main street
where he received medical atten-
ton. His wound was examined and
pronounced quite dangerous. The
man gives his name as James Earl
and says he lives near Nashville
He gave the officers information
concerning his pals and the course
they took in their flight, and the
officers are now ON their trail.
Besides burglarizing Blount &
Cos store, the negroes also broke
into the grocery stores of w. d
Cameron, across the street from
Blount's, and c. H. Wallace, OF
South Main street. At each place
the burglars gained entrance by
prising open the front door. They
made away with merchandise o
small value, and also broke Oper

Deputy Sheriff John Latta received
information from a private source

place mentioned, and Immediately
set about to bag his game. He first
awOke Judge +. e. Erwin and swore
out a States warrant against the
suspected parties, and then went
and aroused Sheriff Hight and De-
putty Church from their slumbers.
These officers then procured the as
sistance of Policemen Craft, Goad
and Lancaster, and all made their
way silently towards the Bethel
House. Policemen Craft and GOad
stationed themselves on the lower
floor to prevent the sentries If such
there were, from sending or carry
ing any information above, and off,
GERS Latta, Hight, Church and Lam
caster climbed the stairs and made
their way as quietly as possible to
the room where the unsuspecting
sports were busily engaged at their
game.
Pausing at the door to listen, Mr..
Latta was gratitied to learn from
the conversation Of the gamblers
within that one of them was having
his checks cashed, preparatory to
Withdrawing from the game and
leaving the room. The deal was
soon finished, and the door was
opened for the withdrawing gam
bier to make his exit. AS the door
was pulled open the officers pushed
against it, crowded into the room
and politely informed the surprised
sports, five in number, that they
were under arrest. The officers also
seized the chips and tables, and
found two pistols lying on the floor
One of the pistols was claimed by
one of the men under arrest, who
said that the room in which they
were playing was his regular sleep
