Del despotismo audaz que le oprimfa
Cuapdo al yer su derecho pisoteado
Por insolente sodadezca, en- hombros

FINED $20. JUDGE BROWN PASSES ON THE SEWER TAPPING CASES.
Ben and Adam Robinson Get Fines
 and Council May Proceed Against Citizens.

One of the most important matters that came before Judge Brown Sat urday in the police court was the cases against Adam and Ben Robin son, local plumbers, who were arrest ed and tried early in the week on char Ges of tapping and connecting with the main sewer in district No. 1. They were tried last Monday morn ing but Judge Brown took the matte" under advisment until his return from the Memphis reunion. He fined the plumbers s20 and warned them against repeating the offense. The city council also has the matter in hand and the sanitary committee will report on same at the next meeting of that body. It is violation of the law for any citizen to connect with the sewer without permission Of the city council and it is most likely that a number of prominent citizens resid- ing in the West end of the city will be brought into court soon and re- quired to answer to the charges to be preferred against them later.

Deputy Sheriff C. Mason Philpot returned yesterday with Zack Seals, the negro who escaped from the lief ferson county jail in this city several weeks ago and was later captured at Lexington, Ky, where he was held until MT. Philpot's arrival Mr Philpot got into Memphis from Lexing- ton, Ky, last Wednesday morning with Seals in charge. He did not think it advisable to bring Seals to Pine Bluff immediately as he was a desperate man and there was too much travel at that time. which would naturally induce Seals to make a break for liberty. MT. Philpot had his man handcuffed but he knew that he could not shoot at him if he should run in the crowds going in and out of Memphis on the trains He put his man in d carriage at the Choc- taW depot and Chief of Police Jerome Richards cared for Seals until MT. Philpot was ready to bring him to Pine Bluff
 Seals knocked Acting Jailor Pleas Culpepper down and ran over him to accomplish his escape from the county jail. He will answer to the charge of running a skin game.
