this to Admiral Sampson, commander-fn-

obtained from the signal officer confirma-
tory dispatch which he had received In re-
gard to this information. The next morn

4 Blind Tiger Caught.

For some time past City Marshal
Applewhite and Policeman Crawford
have been on trail of young man
from Summit and McComb, named Ed.
Reynolds, whom they suspected of
running blind tiger. Saturday night
| Policeman Crawford, who was in the
yard in the rear of Bryant's Hardware
Store, saw Arthur Tibbs come in and
deliver flask of whisky to some one.
On being called upon to ex-
plain why he should be packing whisky
around and delivering it to other peo-
pie in this way, Tibbs, in order to
save himself as one liable for assisting
in the sale, had to tell that the whisky
belonged to Ed. Reynolds, who was
rooming at Mrs. Kelly's boarding
house, and that he delivered it at Rey-
nolds' request and received the money.
Reynolds was arrested a lit
/ tie later and on being arraigned
Saturday night before Mayor Daugh-
! try, with this kind of evidence against
him, was convicted and fined 80 and
costs and sentenced to the county
farm for 80 days
Pending the trial, Marshal Apple
white and Constable Magee visited
Reynolds quarters at the Kelly House
and made a search; and above the cell
ing, just inside the door, discovered
four quart bottles of whisky, and under
the floor in an adjoining room over 20
empty quart bottles. The hole in the
ceiling was a cunningly arranged affair.
1t worked on concealed hinge, and
when it was pulled open to let the man
in charge reach up and pull out bot
tie, would be drawn back in position
again as a part of the plank ceiling, by
concealed weight attached to the
plank by hook and wire. 1t was only
by the closest scrutiny that Marshal
Applewhite and Constable Magee de-
tected this secret hiding place of John
Barleycorn. The hole in the floor
where the empty bottles were showed
out of sight, was covered with a piece
of mating. This had been made by
carefully saving bevel shaped plug
out of one of the planks of the floor
and fitting it back when the hole was
closed.
One of Reynolds hands is MANNED
caused by railroad accident a few
years ago while braking, but it is said
he can use it quite dexterously in ma
nipulating corkscrews, whisky bottles,
etc. He is repnted to be from a good
family and well-connected, being only
another melancholy example of the
moral degradation such young men
can come to when they begin to tam
per with whisky and drift away into
bad associations and evil habits
Officers Applewhite and Crawford
say that Reynolds was one of the most
bold and persistent blind tigers who
has ever operated here, and his fine
and sentence to the county farm was
none too severe.
Arthur Tibbs left town Immediately
after his whisky scrape Saturday
night.

Cutting Near Thayer.

Late Monday evening Mr.. Darrell
Smith and one of his sons had an al.
tercation with Homer Sutton near
Thayer, during which the latter drew
a pocket knife and stabbed Mr. Smith
III the back. DR.. J. Z. Butler, of
Brookhaven, who was called to attend
the wounded man, says the wound is a
very serious one and may prove fatal,
though at last account he was resting
easy.
Homer Sutton is young man about
-, and IS son of Mr.. James Sutton.
of Thayer, and IA nephew of Mr.. Smith.
The trouble is said to have had its
origin in feud that has existed sew
eral months between the Sutton and
Smith boys, who are first cousins: the
old people being on the best of terms,
Homer Sutton came TO town yester.
day morning and surrendered to Sheriff
Applewhite, who will keep him in Gus
tody until the result of Mr.. Smiths
wounds are known.

No More TIPS TO CrOupters.

The tip question bothers Monte Car
10, too, and as a result of the laxity due
to giving and taking tips eight eroupi-
ers have been dismissed and other en-
ployees of the gambling establishment
have been disciplined. II all came
about through the dispute 'hich inva-
riably arises when winnin are made
by persons othr than those connected
with the "house."
When the wheel stops on a winning
number, argument begins as to who
really put his money on that number,
and the croupiers naturally have been
disinclined to side against those who
have tipped them literally. The same
is the case when the dispute is left
with the presiding croupier. OF course
the aggricved player could go up higher
and appeal to officers superior to the
croupicr, but this course usually is dis
tasteful to gamblers.
The spirit of dissatisfaction grew so
strong that something radical had to be
done, for the bank wins from 100000
to 100000 year from the players
besides what the players win from one
another. Naturally enough, the mana
gers of the bank have decided to allow
the croupiers to take no tips whatever
from any of the customers.

Arrested for Murder,

Deputy Sheriff j. D. Blue, with Il 9
co operation Of Marshall Geo. Vernon,
of Bogue Chitto, effected the arrest
of "Dick" Smith at Bogue Chitto last
Friday evening. Smith is wanted in
Tangipahoa parish, La, ON an indict-
ment for the murder of Mrs. ----
at kentwood few months ago. He
was arrested very soon after the kill
ling but was released for lack of suf-
ficient evidence. New evidence was
discovered by the last grand ju-
ry OF the parish and he was
indicted, but meanwhile he had
left. Smith had relatives living at
Bogue Chitto, and Sheriff Nix, of
Tangipahoa parish, knowing this, mott
fled Sheriff Applewhite, of Lincoln, to
be on the lookout for him, which soon
led to his capture as above recited.
Smith was brought to Brookhaven
Friday night and placed in Jail and
Sheriff Nix notified of his capture,
and Saturday lie came up and got the
prisoner and carried him back. He
has wife and two or three children
who were with him at Bogue Chitto
when arrested.

the scene was festive and most at

A remarkable instance Of equine sa-
gacity was exhibited recently which
comes to us testified to by several re-
liable witnesses. Thomas Drummond,
teamster In our city. owns horse
which has been afflicted with lame
ness for two or three weeks. One
morning Mr.. Drummond turned him
out upon the common, hoping that
fresh air and exercise would benefit
the animal. Upon gaining his liberty
the crippled horse hobbled along on
three legs direct to the blacksmith
shop of William Eager, entered the
shooting department and stood there
holding up his injured foot, with his
head turned and his eyes intelllgently
fixed upon Mr.. Eager.
This peculiar act upon the part OF
brute attracted Mr.. Eager's attention
and induced him to examine the foot
held invitlngly up for inspection. The
result of that examination was the
discovery of long nail driven into the
frog, Which was the cause of the lame
mess. OF course Mr. Eager removed
the nail. Mr.. Drummond generally
had his horses shod at 41r. Eager
shop, and the suffering brute undoubt-
eddy REASONED that this was the place
for him to go for relief.
Equine intelligence, according to the
common acceptation of the term, is not
SO rare, but when a horse deliberately
concocts and executes a plan for re-
lieving his injured foot of rusty nail
he certainly can lay claim to a small
portion of the reasoning faculties
which are supposed to elevate the hui
man race above the level of brutes.-
