THE DOGS Ran HIM DOWN
And His Tongue Stuck Out Like a
Mules Hind Leg.

There was of the most interesting
man chases that has happened
in this section for long time,
if really such chase ever happened
before.
The street commissioner, the man
who oversees the stree hands, al
lowed Will Smith to step aside for a
few minutes with his shackles on.
Will remained away a little over the
time allowed for such eonvicts
and the overseers becoming n little
suspicious discovered that the negro
had picked up the locks on the
shackles and had taken French leave.
Remembering that the Progress
stated yesterday that Ben Moffett
had a pair of very fine bloodhounds
the gentleman and his dogs were
sent for to run down the negro. By
the time the dogs struck the trail the
negro was burning the wind mile
or two from the place, not even tax
ing time to say farewell to Hatties-
burg and all the Inhabitants thereof
The chase was a beautiful one.
Over hill and dale went the dogs
with Mr.. Msffett in close pursuit and
some others following in hearing dis
tance of the dogs. That niger ran
that Niger flew, that niger tore his
shirt in two. He ran like scared
wolf, and like that beast he was max
ing for the swamp-any old SWAMP
SO it was a swamp.
The dogs suddenly stopped. Hat
they lost the track? Had Will gone
up in balloon? Not much. The
dogs had overtaken him and wheI
Mr.. Moffett came up found him will
his tongue sticking out like mule
hind leg and murmuring a lon;
prayer on the instalment plan. H,
was scared. His legs and breatl
had given out and his tongue resem
bled a bent wagon tongue, and h.
was so weak that he could not climl
a tree and had given himself up a
forever lost. He had run six mile
on stretch, the only time during III
life up to the present that he eve
got a moven on himself. He wa
brought back to the work on tn
streets.
Thus it will be seen the good il
having bloodhounds in the commu
nifty.

THE MAYORS COURT.

His honor had but two cases be-
fore him this morning. They were
Geoige Shelton and VIII Smith who
were caught last night throwing the
bone in the rear of Prices cigar
stand. They were fined $3.50 each
and the lemonade money.
The arrest was q little funny.
Some one put Marshal Moffet on to
the game and slipping around there
he found the two negroes SO deeply
interested in the game that they
failed to see him until he was in
reach of them. Just at that time
they had sixty cents on the board
and it seems that one of them had
won fifty cents of it. He reached
over to get it, but the other objected.
Mr.. Moffett put his hands on them
and told them to consider them
selves under arrest, but each was so
contentious over the money that
they got into scuffie and the Of
ficers had to pull them apart.
He took them to the lookup and
this morning preferred the charge of
gaming against them when the
mayor fined them as stated above.

The Newest ParaSol.

Parasols are medium size and less
bell shaped, and for dressy use are lit
orally burdened with masses of rich
lace (lace more than chiffon) Insertions
and applique, combined with flounces
and ribbon streamers and knots that
hold artificial flowers, to correspond with
the flower hats. All over lace parasol
covers are reserved for more exclusive
wear with all-over lace gowns, which
are worn on ceremonial occasions in the
day as we'll as for evening functions.

dant did not know the statements
made by him were false.
1t is said by the books that the
tort deceit takes place when one in
lures another by deceiving him to
his hurt. The gist of the action is,
the fraudulent representations of the
defendant to plaintiffs damage. (Here
follows a discussion of the law and
citation of authorities.)
In view of the proofs In this case,
we do not see how the defendant
could have been prejudiced by this in
struction. The evidence was so over
whelming that he stated knowingly
what he knew to be false, that it is
not easy to conceive that the ver-
dict could have been otherwise than
for the plaintiff, on either hypothesis.
2. Instruction No. 3, given on be-
half of the plaintiff, is objected to,
because it does not follow the Ian
guage of the petition, that the repre-
sensations "were made for the pur-
pose and with the intent on the part
of defendant to cheat and defraud
plaintiff" The instruction, however,
did predicate the essential facts to be
found by the jury, and then told the
jury that if such representations
were false and known by defendant
to be false when made, and the
plaintiff in reliance thereon parted
with her property, she could recov-
err. Citing authorities.)
