ranged.
fit subject for the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is
James Jameson, who was bound over
Monday by the recorder to the City
Court on a charge of cruelty to ami
mails. The offense with which the ne
gro is charged, has assumed a mora
serious aspect since his commitment
trial, the animal which was the OBJ
ject of his cruelty and the sufferer
from his indiscretion, having died.
Jameson was until recently a
driver for Mr.. Frank Butner. Monday
he attempted to make a trip to the
city with a two-horse team in about
half the time usually allotted for sucn
a performance. He had partaken TOO
freely of the bottle, and in his drunk
en- excitement laid the lash TO mis-
horses all too Justify.
One of the horses survived the i'll
treatment, but the other died. They
We're both splendid animals, and Mr.
Butner felt their loss keenly. He re-
ported the matter to the police and
had the negro locked up. His case
will come up this morning at the reg
ular weekly criminal session of the
City Court, when it is probable tnat
he win be made to pay dearly for his
exciting ride.
Three escaped convicts, who were
during the past week recap.uted by
Deputy Sheriff Sweeney in Jackson
vile, will be given additional SEN
fences for their Illegal sojourn in the
Land of Flowers. They have all been
81 10, fOr a lHy1e nd in
of the three cases the officers had
practically abandoned hope of spot
ting their men.
For the theft of thirty-four axles,
fifteen wheels, and almost innumera-
BILE other pieces of scrap iron, Jack
Taylor and Marshall johnson will FACE
Judge Norwood. There are four
charges against them. These thieves
were arrested by Detective Stark.
They were purloinng with ven
geance when caught, having engaged
a horse and wagon with which to car
ry away their plumber. The larcenies
were all committed in broad daylight.
After three years, Jim Hughes will
be held to account for the theft of
gold watch a diamond cutter and two
suits of clothes with which he surrep
tlIlOuSlN SIOle away III luS SpTliIS vi
1899. The prisoner will not be allow
ed to plead the statute of limitations
which would operate, were it not for
the fact that he has been fugitive
from justice.
Stella williams will have to answer
for stealing Hester Anderson's under
wear. Henry Williams will have to
account for his possession of a pair of
lace curtains and a robe de mutt to
which a dusky damsel with like latter
| cognomen claims a fee simple title.
! For stealing two bicycles George Walk
err will be held to account. Mike KEEL
ly, the lad who stole a pair of boots
belonging to the owner of the racing
mare, Gypsy Red, will also be ar
raiGned, and it is probable that there
will be several members of the sporting
fraternity present to tell what they
know of the disappearance of the boots.
There are numerous other culpritS
which will have justice meted out to
them at this mornings session. Va
grants, thieves, scrappers, convicts, and
criminals of like character will be as
! signed to the tolls for terms common
surate with the gravity of their va
rious offenses. The docket is a large
one and will probably occupy the court
the major part of the day.
