TRIED To SHOOT two
WHITE men With rifle
Was Sentenced to Thirty Days on the
Streets, But Jumped the Town and
Went to Texas, Where He Has Been
For Past Two Years,

Officers Mack Doherty and B. o.
Doherty caught negro Sunday night
who has been wanted in Hattiesburg
for about two years.
The negro John Nolan, formerly
worked on a section of the Gulf and
Ship Island Railroad and about two
years ago he had a fuss with the
Simmons brothers and came up town
and secured a Winchester rifle and
went back to settle the score, though
1t is said the negro had no cause for
complaint Officer B. o. Doherty was
then notified of the negro's actions
and he arrested him and charge was
made against him in the police court
The negro was fined $25 and SEN
fenced to thirty days on the streets.
He appealed the case and gave bond
for his appearance.
Almost Immediately after he was
released, he made a trip to Texas and
was so well pleased with the state that
he forgot to come back and stand trial.
He concluded few days ago that he
wanted to pay Hattiesburg a visit and
as soon as he got off the train he
found that he had not been forgotten
during his absence. He was recog-
nized by the Messrs. Doherty and
was taken into custody and now he is
working out his old sentence and fine
on the streets.
Nolan expected to receive a more
cordial welcome than was accorded
him. He said he thought his bonds
men had settled the matter and that
there was no danger to his personal
liberty in re-visiting his old home.
