A BOLD THIEF
A Negro Coolly Walked UP 10 n Pile
of on the Wharf and Car
rfed on a Bag of Them While Sew
eral Men Were Looking On-He
Was Arrested Later.

Yesterday morning Mr.. ]. w. Ganey.
OF Brunswick county. brought a lot Of
peanuts to market for MIR. C. H. Ben
son. and unloaded them on the wharf
at the foot of Market street. He went
off a short distance and a negro walked
boldly UP picked up a bag OF peanuts
and with them on his shoulder went
down Water street. Several men saw
him take the peanuts but said nothing,
for they thought MIR. Ganey sent him
for them, as he was so open in his ac-
tions.
When Mr.. Ganey returned he missed
the peanuts and was tod that a negro
came and got them. Inc men pointed
in the direction in which he went. and
MIR. Ganey went after HIM. While go
ing down Water street John Mitchell
lila Son Mitchell, colored, stepped
up and asked il he was looking for the
mar who stole his bag Of peanuts.
Upon being answered in The Affirmative,
he told Mar. Ganey that the man with
the peanuts on his shoulder had gone
Up instead of down Wafer street. A
young white man then stepped up -
told AIR. Ganey that the negro talking
to him was the man who stoIe the pea
nuts. Another white man and a negro
also came up and said they saw Mitch
ell take the peanuts. and some one saw
him meet another negro near the mar
ket house on Water street and give
him the peanuts. so it was evident that
he had an accOmplice.
Mitchell denied the charge and walk
ed off and d warrant was taken III lat
er before Justice ]. J. Fowler and
Constable w. L. SAVAGE was sent to
look for him. He was found n ar
rested and was committed to Jail till 10
O'Clock this morning when he will be
given a hearing by Justice Fowler.

Mrs. Bowser was waiting his return.

head. You'd better sandpaper it and
stay in the house"
Two blocks farther down the tender

You are a liar!" promptly retorted
Mr.. BOwser. who was now getting
thoroughly warmed up in his temper.
