The story of Christopher Millsap, a
young bookkeeper in the employ Of a
wholesale house, affords striking il.
lustration of the way in which the
wind is often tempered to the shorn
lamb.
Not on account of any fault of his,
but because the business would not
justify keeping him on the salary list
any longer, Christopher had lost his
situation.
Day after day he tried TO secure an
other. but without success. One morn
ing, when he found himself reduced
to his last cent and was thinking
gloomily of suicide as the only way
out of his troubles, the postman hand
ed him lstter. 1t was from Ketcham
& Fleecem, attorneys at law, and read
as follows:
Dear Sir: Your uncle, Orville Stin-
jay Millsap, died last week. AS ad-

RIOT OVER DOG CATCHER.
Negro Caught Licensed Animal ana
Race Trouble Results, ..'

..... noSc b'o3oic .HSSdito'
:. Charles A. Smith, town dog catcher
of Miller, is charged with assault with
intent to commit a felony. William
Johnson is under arrest on the same
charge and he gave bonds to appear
for trial at the same time.
Both men are colored, and previous
to their arrest they were concerned
in small race riot, dozen or more
men, in the attempt to arrest them,
crying out, Get a rope and hang
them" US
The whole affair originated in the
appointment verbally by the marshall
of Smith as dog catcher. He did his
duty SO well that in one day he
brought in eight CANNES that bit the
dust at the crack of the marshafs
rife In one instance he caught dog
on which the license had been paid,
and while this one was not killed It.
engendered bad blood.
There is a feeling among those who
have lost dogs to run the negroes out
of town at any cost. Then there is a
large element who want them to re-
main and TO give the job of dog
catcher permanently to them, as there
seems to be little diminution in the
number of dogs.
