WORK o OFFICER /: E R WRIGHT 3 6 II

Manchester Bureau, Richmond Times Ii
HOS Hull Street.
Ed. Robinson (co1ored was arrested last
night by officer Alex. Wright and turned
over to the authorities Of Richmond,
where he is wanted for stealing a bicycle
from a messenger boy about three weeks
ago.
officer Wright, who has the most re-
markable gift of being able to remember
faces and distinguish new ones at a
glance, did some good work in the case,
landing his man all right and turning MN
over to Detectives Wren and Gibson, or
Richmo nd. The arrest was made in what
is known as Tan rdgBottom. It mas
been said that if a negro once got IN TINS
place there was no getting him out, but
this proved to be untrue in this case
Three weeks ago this negro took a Cleye-
land wheel belonging to Earl Campbell, a
messenger for the Western Union Tcle-s
graph Company, and since that time he
has. been missing. The messenger had
gone to the Union Depot to deliver a mes
sage, and when he came out the building
he saw the negro on his Wheel Robinson
saw the boy about the same time, and
drawing a revolver pointed it at the BOY
and told him to run The boy needed no
second warming, and ran. Then the negro
had an easy field for his escape HIS
case will be heard before Justice Crutch-
field this morning.
I. A FAMILY. ROW.
For the past two weeks the Police De
partment has been almost daily receiving
reports Of some disturbance or disagree
ment between two families living on
Seventh Street near the bridge. The Gil
max was reached yesterday afternoon,
when Officers Wright and Lipscomb went
down and summoned Mrs. Mary Simply
and Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Willoughby to
appear in court his morning for ordl-
nance violation. Not long after this sum
mons was executed, Mrs. M. e. Willough-
by swore out a warrant for the arrest OF
Jesse Farrer, accusing him of threaten
ing, cursing and abusing her. He was
brought to the station, where Squire
Jordan bailed him for his appearance
Monday m orning.
It seems that for the past two weeks
there has been strife among the two fam
lilies living next door to each other on this
street, and in numerous cases either one
or the other would ask the police to make
the other behave. The ordinance viola
ton case will be tried this morning. AS
witnesses in the case to-day there will
DO Mrs. Inez Peltier. wife of the man now
in Jail in Richmond about whom there
has been so much published. Her mother,
Mrs. Matte Englehart, and Mrs. Oleo
Olsen will also be witnesses.
