HOLD Up MAN CAUGHT.
Harry McCutchen Committed to Jail
for Highway Robbery for Holding
Up Daily Item Carrier.
from The Daily Item Dec. IA.

From The Daily Item Dec. IA.
Officer Seymour this morning ar
rested Harry McCutchen, a young
negro man, on suspicion that he was
the man who held up and robbed one
of the Daily Item carrier boys on Sat
urday night last. While the evidence
that pointed to McCutchen as the gull
ty one was not conclusive it was strong
enough to warrant his arrest. Wien
taken into custody the negro denied
all knowledge Of the crime with which
he was charged, but finally confessed
that he did stop the carrier boy and
ask him for money and that the boy
gave him 25 cents. He was particular
to state that he did not put his hands
on the boy and did not go through his
pockets, appearing to think that this
furnished a complete defense. After
wards he told officer Seymour that he
got the money but would like to pay
FIVE or six dollars to compromise the
case.
With the testimony of Wade Will
ford, the Item carrier who was rob
bed, that of Mr.. G. E. Richardson, and
the negro's confessional clear case was
made out against him at the preliml
nary before Recorder Hurst today
and he was committed to Jail in de-
fault of $500 bond for trial at the next
term Of the court of General Sessions.
The quick arrest Of the robber is
gratifying to the Daily Item manage
ment and Officer Seymour who work
ed up the case deserves full credit for
his prompt and skillful detective
work.
It is to be hoped that the other
criminal vagrants who have ambition
to shine as hold-up men will be warn
ed by the fate Of Harry McCutchen to
give the carriers boys of The Daily
Item a wide berth, for it is the I'M
alteralble determination on the
Item to see that it's carriers are per-
mitted to go about their duties un-
molested. The person who interferes
with one Of them will be run down
and punished as severely as the law
permits.

Cotton Receipts.

The public cotton weighers have
weighed to date 26,330 bales of cotton.
To the same date last year they had
weighed 34,S66. From the most re-
liable information obtainable it is ev-
ident that there is much less cotton
in the hands Of farmers than at this
time last year and a larger per cent
age of the crop has been gathered
and marketed, consequently it is evi-
dent that the receipts on this market
will fall much below those Of the last
cotton wear.
