man on the Jonesboro and Pipe Works
car line, was entered by thieves between
the hours of and last night. The
thieves took s14 in small change and some
articles of clothing. The thieves entered
by an open window. The local sher-
ifs office is working on the case but
has no clue as yet.
Quite a little excitement was stirred up
on the corner of Third avenue and Nine
teenth street on Saturday night by an
alteration that took place between A.
c.. Kaiser and a negro doctor In Besse.
mer by the name of Coleman. The diff
Guilty is alleged to have arisen over a
debt. The two men had a few words
when it is said the negro became insol.
emit Kaiser promptly knocked him down
and the negro rose from the floor with
a knife in his hand. He did not sue
coed In injuring Kaiser although his
clothing was cut in several places. AS
the negro went up the street some one
took a shot at him but without effect.
There was an angry crowd around the
place for few minutes and it is thought
that the negro stood in danger of rough
usage.
