Snatched Bride on the Run.
John Dogan. colored, was before Justice
Cation in the police court this morning on
two charges, one of disorderly conduct and
the other of petty larceny. The prisoner
was captured by Officers Mayhugh and
Lyles. after chase of several squares. The
officers told the court that Dogan was first
wanted for creating a disturbance on the
street. When he saw the policeman ap-
proach he fed, but was finally run down.
In his flight Dogan passed by the harness
shop of Ell Dove, where bride was hang
ing temptingly over the sidewalk. The sight
of this. the officers stated, was too much
for John even though he was hard pressed
at the time While on the wing, as it were,
he snatched the bride and continued with
out abatement on his rapid run. The evil
dence. was all against him this morning,
and he fined $50 in default of which he
will spend three months in the city jail.
