walking to town and they took him in.
The other two had gone to the Peter

the little fellow saw that the author

DEACON HICKS IN
OLD VIRGINIA

The following are some excerpts from
letter recently received by E. D.
Stitzel from H. v. Hicks, who recently
left here to take up his home in Virginia:
"... Here we are again in Old
Petersburg, the Cockade City of the

Colored Man Caught After Exciting Chase

ul Man Hunt Following Day

A white man got into colored mans
game in the 'bo jungles on Sunday
evening and as a result the white man
is lying at the Oakes hospital nursing a
bullet wound and the colored gentleman
is in the county Jail at Glendale.
The cause of the trouble was crap
game. The white man was evidently
getting the worst of it, claimed the
nigger's dice were loaded, and attacked
the black fellow, some say with bar
of iron. The negro pulled gun and
shot his adversary in the upper part of
the thigh. No sooner had he shot than
he took across the country in a north
westerly direction. The authorities
were soon notified and Deputy Sheriff
Huffman, Dick Middaugh, Claude
Coulter and others started after the
negro on horseback. The black man
had forded the Jim river quite ways
north of the bridge and Dick and Claude
followed him across the river while the
deputy sheriff returned to the city to
get his auto and go after him in the
Sheriff Drew fashion. Dick and Claude
caught the man within twenty rods Of
the Albert Gramlow residence, and in
a few more minutes Deputy Huffman
came up with his auto. The negro was;
scared almost to death. He thought it
was the pals of the wounded man that
were after him, and lynching bee was
in his mind if he was caught. It took
two shots from rifle to bring him to
bay.
He pleaded that he be not returned
to Oakes as a large mob had turned
out to watch the chase and the negro
feared for his life. Deputy Huffman
thought it would be best to continue
with him to Glendale and that same
night the manswas lodged in the county
Jail. He gave ghis name as Cicero
Garner.
The man that. stopped the bullet was
taken to the hospital and Drs. Maerck-
lein removed the bullet which came
within half inch of going through the
thigh. It had struck a bone and
glanced. The mans name was George
Filing and hegave his home as Chicago.
He is recovering nicely.
States Attorney Cassels came over
from Glendale Monday to gather evil
dence for the preliminary hearing,
which will undoubtedly be held in
Oakes. There were 80 many eye
witnesses that it is not believed it will
be hard to decide who was to blame.
Sentiment seems to be in favor of the
colored man.

that Mrs. Korster, as well as her four

Burton II. Barnes, a wealthy American
touring Corsica, rescues the young Eng
fish lieutenant Edward Gerard Anstruth-
err and his Corsica BRIDE Marina,
daughter of the Paolis, from the muir
derous vendetta, understanding that his
reward is to be the hand of the girl he
loves, Enid Anstruther. sister of the Eng
lish lieutenant. Tie four fly from Ajac-
steamer Constantine. The vendetta pur-
sues and as the quartet are about to
board the train for London at Marseilles.
Marina 10 handed "A mysterious note
which causes her to collapse and necessi-
tates postponement OF the journey.
Barnes gets part of the mysterious note
and receives letters which inform him
that he Is marked by the vendetta. He
employs an American detective and plans
TO beat the vendetta at their own game.
For the purpose of securing the safety
OF the women Barnes arranges to have
Lady Chartris lease secluded villa at
Nice to which the party Is to be taken
Marina is In league with the Corscans.
A man, believed to be Corregio Danella,

thought to have given him "a sign. Ma

the next room, and on being refolded
and placed on the bed again, was put
around the glass on four distinct occa-
sions until the family gave up trying
to control it.
More as joke than anything else,
Mrs. Korster had meal placed on
the kitchen table, consisting of piece
of bread, some ham, tomato, and a
bottle of wine, with a napkin stuffed
in the wine glass. When the family
returned to the room, which could not
have been entered in the meantime,
the ham was eaten, the bread
munched, the tomato cut in half, and
the wine half drunk, while the napkin
was stuck in the half-full glass.
In amazement the family told the
neighbors, and on a recent night, as a
crowd was gathered, Mrs. Korster sud
denly felt herself grasped by the
ankle, while her shoelace was torn
from her shoe, to appear later neatly
tied around the broomstick.
Attention to the new location OF the
Mysterious agent was only attracted
by the fact that the broom commenced
a violent tapping against the stove
banging four times with pause and
then four times more.
