THOUGHT TO
BE DANGEROUS

Marion Brown, a negro, believed by
the police to be a dangerous criminal,
has been captured by Detectives Weir
and Briley. He was fined 500 and
costs in the police court yester-
day, it being thought best to detain
him until his record could be looked
up.
The detectives followed him before
making the arrest, their attention be-
ing attracted because of his wearing
moccasins, a most unusual footwear for
negro in this part of the country.
On being searched he was found to
be carrying large Colts 3S calibre
revolver strapped under his left arm.
While the officers were escorting him
to police headquarters he threw away
a chisel, which increased their suspic-
ions.
He is a young buck of close knit
and athletic build.
