With a pistol bullet wound in his
right thigh, Charles McLendon, ne
gro mill hand here, has "acknowl-
edged the corn" or rather the mesl,
and in the confines of his steel cage he
doubtless regrets any part he may
have played in the robbery of freight
car in the yards of the Central railroad
at Cotton Avenue on Wednesday night
Within few hours after the rob-
berry was detected McLendon was in
Jail and his wound dressed.
The Tim s-Recorder yesterday morn
ing told of the bold robbery the night
before, when freight train taking
water in the yards here was attacked
by burglars, car door opened and
many sacks of meal tumbled out in a
heap.
Officers Oliver, Barrow and City
Marshal Feagin found the meal tum-
bled down the embankment. Feagin
the cold sleuth" knowing that the
thief would come back for the loot, lay
down in the mud, pistol in. hand, to
wait. The sacks of meal were covered
over with coat, and, as the officers
supposed, belonging to one of the car
breakers.
While Feagin lay waiting in the mud
and mire figure doomed up and took
hold of the coat that served as a cover
ing for the meal.
The negro was commanded to throw
up his hands and surrender.
Instead, Feagin says, he made mo-
ton as if to pull pistol, whereupon
the officer fred four shots, one of
which took effect, though the negro
ran. At midnight Officers Oliver and
Barrow, VINO had been working upon
the case, went off duty, while Marshal
Feagin and Sheriff Bell continued the
hunt and at later hour made a good
"fnd"
It was under the railroad bridge at
Jackson street that they found wagon
and mules. The team was fully iden-
titled at the city hall yesterday.
A letter in the coat found on the pile
of meal led to the arrest of,Charles Nc
Tendon yesterday morning. Bell and
Feagin found him with bullet wound
in his thigh. He then told the story
of the robbery, and sack of meal was
located in an clubhouse. McLendon
did not then implicate anyone in the
robbery, though there may be others.
The officers were very highly COM
mended for thus ferreting out so
quickly a bold and daring crime.

Here.
Jerry Dickson looms up as figure IN
the car-breaking affair of Wednesday
night in the capacity of claimant to
the mules and wagon found by Sheriff
Bell and Marshal Feagin concealed
beneath the railroad bridge spanning
Jackson street.
The team was driven to the city
stables early yesterday morning,
where it was identified as belonging to
the aforesaid Dickson.
Yet, Jeremiah came not to claim the
mules and wagon.
In the meantime the officers located
Jerry and stored him snugly away at
the castle along with Charles McLen.

while in the act of picking up lot OF
the meal thrown from car here, as
told in another article.

miah was published.
Dickson declares that he had no part
in the car robbery; that he merely
loaned his team to McLendon, and wa;

officers.
That well disciplined gang of cal
robbers has been operating successfully

of Marshal Feagin and Sheriff Bel
may put quletus upon the looters
for time, at least
Only few days ago another car was
