m, Judge J. c. klugh presiding.

TROUBLE AT THE DEPOT.
omcer Attacked With Knife by a
Negro-One Shot Fired.

small respect for the law and less
sense shook hands with death at the
Atlantic Coast Line passenger station
Sunday afternoon and that he is IN
the land Of the living now is but an
other demonstration OF FOOLS luck.
When tits stated that Saxton re-
sisted Officer Albret Weeks In the dis
charge Of his duty and made for him
| with knife it will be understood how
reckless was his Irritation with the
grim reaper.
Saxton seems to be, from reports, a
sort Of twentieth century coon with
superfine opinion of himself and Sun
day afternoon he was full Of spirits
dispeusary spirits-which are said to
be conducive to the big head. He
was at the depot when the Columbia
tain came in and boarded it in viola
tion Of the city odinance. Officer
Weeks ordered him to keep off and
| when he refused to get off Officer
Weeks went after him and put him
off. Saxton was inclined to be OBJ
streperous and as soon as be got loose
from Officer Weeks he got on the tram
again. Officer Weeks went after him
again and Saxton drew a knife and
commenced slashing at him, and push
ed him backwards off the platform:
Officer Weeks drew his pistol and fred
one shot at Saxton, narrowly missing
him, the bullet burying itself in the
end of the car few inches from Sax
ton. This seemed to frighten Saxton
and he was quickly dragged from the
car and carried to the guard house.
His trial has been set for IL O'Clock
TOMORROW.
| The occurrence created great deal
of excitement amongst the large
crowd of negroes around the depot
and for few minutes serious trouble
seemed to be brewing. But the de-
cided action of Officer Weeks nipped
the trouble in the bud.
Willie Saxon, the elegant colored
gentleman who was the cause Of
very disorderly scene at the A. c. L.
passenger depot last Sunday after
noon, when he ATTEMPTED to stab As
sistant Chief Of Police Weeks, was as
meek as Moses as he sat upon the
green bench Tuesday in the recorders
Office and relied upon the skill Of his
attorney to get him out Of a very
difficult scrape. He was represented by
L. D. Jennings, Esq, and the city en-
ployed II. D. Noise, ESQ, to conduct
the prosecution. The defendant pro-
longed the proceedings by demanding
a jury the. particulars Of the diff
Guilty published in yesterdays issue Of
The Daily Item and as the case has
been so fully discussed, further re-
cital Of the facts would be super
fiuous. The defendant was found
| guilty and was sentenced as follows:
For boarding train before the passen-
gers had disembaTked, $500; for pub
lie drunkenness, $500; for disorderly
conduct, 80 days on the chain gang. 1t
is regretted that the recorders juris-
diction prevented more severe punish
