Richard Brown, living on the Ford
plantation, seems TO have been sport
ing an extra fine saddle aud bride
not his own property. Last Sat-
urday he came to town sporting
the bride aud saddle on an extra good
looking mule, aud it was.uot long be-
fore William Gamhrick, the real own
or of the stolen property, spied it. aud
forth with made complaint 10 marshal
Peck, who WAS not long in arresting
Brown and taking possession OF the
saddle aud bride Brown refused 10
tell how he got the things, but will
probably have to do so next week
when court meets.
Stealing saddles aud brides, and
even horses and mules from the racks
has been going on fH years, aud il
looked like almost All impossiblli'y for
the thieves to be caught, until a shorI
time ago VIM. Dorsey was caught IN
The very act. He was convicted al the
last term of court and sentenced &c
one year in the penitentiary. Prob
ably catching up with few of these
kind of thieves and convictiug them
will break up this stealing. AS it il
now il is unsafe To leave a fine saddle
or bride on an animal hliched TO any
OF the racks in town on Saturda,
nights.

CAT THE OLD CROSS ROADS,

One of the notable attractions to
be seen at the Vendome next Mon
day night, Arthur G. Aiston's New
York Company in a sweet Southern
comedy drama entitled "At the old
Cross Roads,. This is initial the
tour of the play through the Southern
States and the press of the South
are joining hands with the New
York papers in bestowing the high
est praise in both play and players.
The Times Democrat of New Or
leans has the following to say of
this excellent attraction:
"Whatever may be said of the
improbabilities which the author
has allowed to creep into the story
eat the old Cross Roads," which
was presented by Arthus G. Ais
toms company at the Crescent
last night, there is yet enough of
the possible, and enough of the
real, to commend it to the critical
Judgment and to assure it a reason
able stage tenure. The story is
intensely dramatic. Based upon
an unhappy social condition, pecu-
liar to the South, and turning upon
climaxes that are of uncertain i'm
port and which might easily offend,
II rennirad most Scrunnlous deli.
cacy and tact of no mean order foi
the author to avoid the pitfalls
With the interpreter the situation
is more serious, the responsibility
much graver. Color and life must
be given to the dead symbols, tht
paper-characters must be energized
put in action and given all the at
tributes of the real men and wo
men in life's real drama.
