cry of a negro long wanted by the
sheriff's department on the charge of
carving concealed weapons. Even
though the former cherge be not sub
stantiated, Deputy McCoord found a
concealed pistol on the negro. and
second case will be made.
The deputy sheriff had gone out to
West End early In the morning on a
chase after another negro. who had
attacked Night Waterman J. M. Carr.
He was returning empty handed, when
he saw Joe Mallashan sitting on a
pile of timber in the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad yards.
The negroes face looked very famil-
lar. and a dim remembrance of an old
charge against Joe Mallashan came to
the deputys mind. He walked over to
the negro, who was sitting with
name. and was answered In such
way as to make the deputy suspicious.
He then asked the negro where he
lived, and the negro became very un-
easy as he answered the question.
The deputy took q chance.
Niger, you know you're Icing
Come here"
Joe Mallashan came over to the
deputy and was searched. The officer
found a concealed pistol In the ne
Rro's pocket under tho suit of over
ais, The negro was promptly placed
under arrest.
On the way to the Jail. the negro
admitted that he had been lieing to
the deputy. and that he was the man
wanted on the old charge of carrying
concealed weapons.

Baber. The negro is charged with
having been one Of the pair of negroes
who made an attempt to hold up and
rob Conductor E. Eiiand OF the West
END Street car line.
The police received word last night
shortly after IL o'clock that two ne
groes had attempted hold-up of the
street car on Bell Street. but that the
conductor had succeeded in fighting of
his assaiiants. Officers were imme-
diately sent to the neighborhood. and
Jim stanley brought to headquarters.
Conductor Eiland said that the two
negroes were on his car last night
near the last trip. and that they be-
came dtsordeny, and threatened the
conductor because he would not give
them q transfer. At that time of
night no transfers are given, as 1t Is
impossible to make connections at
Court Square for any other car. The
negroes would not understand. and
on threatening the conductor, had the
surprise of their lives.
The conductor grabbed the con-
troiier of the moter and hit one Of
the pair across the head, infiicting a
severe scalp wound. The other ne
gro was knocked down several times
by Conductor GLANDS fist. Both
negroes then stumbled of the car. and
disappeared.
The evidence was. brought out in po-
lice court yesterday. and Jim Stanley
