thing in Sight
Big Jack McMahan, the barber,
who had charge of the Grand Central
shop. left Saturday morning for parts
unknown and several officers are in
hot pursuit. 1t appears that the be.
ginning of his trouble was when he
drew a gun On the negro porter at
Friedenbioom's shop.
He was arrested on this charge
and was bound over to the grand jury
by Judge Peacock. The bond was fix
ed at $500 and was signed by E. T.
Amonett and w. L. Slinkard.
McMahan was not satisfied with
Leaving his bondsmen to mourn his
departure, but took everything that
he could get his hands on. He took a
large amethyst and about S35 of Dor
rowed money from a business man
who had always been an exception
al friend. This man sent him money
to come to Roswell on the last time
and he had never refunded a cent.
He also got away with several razors
He did not pay the two BARRIERS In
the shop all their wages and acted
the scoundrel all the way through.
The meanest trick he did was to
take a SIS diamond ring that belong |
ed to Miss 'Anabelle Carmack. He
had been paying marked attention to
the young lady for some time, and
the night he left he had her put to
take supper with him. He asked her
to END him her ring and hat he
would give it back to her the next
morning. She gave him the ring and
today she is the bitterest enemy he
has and has sworn out a warrant
charging him with stealing the ring
He hired a young man named Stapp |
to take him out Saturday morning |
about 4:30 o'clock, and it is said he
took the train at Artesia. The two
bondsmen offer a reward of $25 for his
apprehension and he will likely be
captured, as he is a man easily des-
cribed. He disguised himself before
leaving, but Henry Brown has the
description of the disguise and is hot
on his trail.
