CHARLES JONES
i IN GRAF TON JAIL

Decoration Day while watching
the crowd about the "merry-go-
rounds now occupying a good deal
of public attention at the west end
of the bridge to the west side in
Grafton, Justice Lilly discovered
among the other interesting specta-
tors a colored "friend and an ac-
quaintance," in the person of one
Charles Jones, whom he had fined
on former occasion for breach of
the law and who had escaped justice.
The gentleman of color is also. known
by the name of "Gray Dan. Dan
is known as a pretty "bad niger"
The Justice was accompanied BY
special constable Gall. Thinking
that it was just as convenient a time
to take ''Dan" in hook as aly they
proceeded to lay hands upon him.
To this form Of familiarity the coll
ored offender promptly resented.
The officers seized upon their man
and the contest was at once on fast
and furious. Justice Lilly was arm
ed with a black jack which he used
with all the freedom the ferocious
resistance seemed to demand. Twice
the jack descendd upon the head of
the resisting Daniel and each time
he went down upon his knees. But
as often he was upon his feet again.
The struggle went on fast and fur
ious until at last with one great ef-
fort the colored man broke loose
from his would-be capton and ran.
Up the railroad track he went in
the direction of Shaffer Cut, the
constable and several assistants fol-
lowing in hot pursuit. When near
the telegraph box just beyond the
cut Jones gave up the race and
Iagreed to surrender and take what
was coming to him. SO he was
brought back to the city and-is nof
safely quartered under the court
house. He promises to pay up as
soon as he can get his money from
Clarksburg. The affair was the
basis Of quite an excitement while
the contest was going on.

CONGRES sMAN SUICIDES BY PISTOL ROUTE
SOME ONE
SW|PED The
DODD HOUSE

An awful mean trick was played
on Tom, Suse and Carrie Dodd this
morning. More than a week ago
W. L. Cole came to the Office of
Squire Harry Gordon and asked
what could be done anent the Dodds
having ''squattedp on his larll in
Northview and refusing TO vacate a
house when he had sold it and want:
ed to tear it down. He was advised
that he could have them arrested.
for trespass and this he did. Con-
stables Coffman and Lyon got them
early this morning. The serving
the the warrants passed off all right
with the exception that one woman
wanted to kidnap Constable Lyon,
but this was prevented by his brother
officer.
The party arrived at the magis-
trate's office at $50 o'clock and was
held for one hour awaiting the arriy-
al of the prosecuting witness, but he
failed to turn up. Then of course
the squire had to let the party go.
They went TO the place where they
had lived, but, 10, and behold, there
was a vacant lot. Tom took a
squint around at the various horiz-
ons in the hope that his eyesight
was deceiving him and that he was
in the wrong locality. But finally
he had TO accept the inevitable.
Some one had swiped the house.
Tom and Suse and Carrie were
strongly of the opinion that that
was no nice way TO act only they arc
alleged to have made it a little
stronger that that, especially Suse.
who was full Of bad booze. After u
consultation and various suggestions
for the good Of the order, Tom put
the household goods in his righthand
coat pocket and they went forth in
search of new worlds to conquer or
another house that no one was
watching.
