wide acquaintance in Barbour and

A year and a half ago he was the

the Jefersonian type; and was an
admiring disciple Of William Jen-
nings Bryan. Until very recently he
took much interest in politics, was
well posted upon all current events,
and was formidable antagonist to
any who dared to oppose him in an
oral discussion.
In religion he was of the Baptist
faith, and for many years he had
been a consistent member OF the
congregation of that denomination
at Center Branch.
Br. Bartlett and Rhoda Ann
Hudkins were united in marriage on

All PooN FORMALLY CHARGED.

All Poon, the Chinaman who hoped
the fence at the police station on
Thursday and gave the police a merry
chase through the lumber yard of AL
len & Robinson, was yesterday form
ally charged with Vagrancy. At the
time of his escape he was not being
held under any charge and it was just
a question in the mind Of the police
whether he could be charged with jail
breaking under the circumstances. All
Poon is a general all round crook, his
specify being to sell mythical houses
and land to which he has no title. He
is wanted as being acquainted with
the inside history of some of the recent
petty crookednesses that have been
called to the attention of the authori-
ties If he escapes again, which is
doubtful. there will be no question
about charging him.
