 As Slim spoke, the Proposition was joined by young chap with a loose face, who had been out in the smok. ing-room working faithfully on one oi those pajama panatella cigars that bite you on the finger if you show the least sign of fear.
 Just then the train stopped for few minutes, and we were put wise to the fact that it was an incurable case of bride and groom.
 "Oh, Boozey is back to his Birdie.' said the brand-new wife. Did BOozey like his smoky woky?"
 Boozey opened a bunch of grins and sat down, while wi:ey patted hi cheek and cooed:
 "Is ums glad to get back to ums little wifey-pifey?"
 Dave Terrence and Charlie Ham mond began to scream inwardly, witt Slim chuckling like pet porro;se.
 "Sweetie mustn't be angry with Petie, but Sweetie Is sitting on Petite. title hand," said the bride, where uTCn Malcolm Williams exploded, anG Slim began tc grab for his breath.
 A Dutch brewer and his wife sat right ahead of Boozey and Birdie, ana every once in awhile the old hop puncher would turn around and bea- benignly over the gold rims at the bride.
 "BOOZey must snu3gy-Wug%y up closer to his Coozie and skeeZe her 'itty arm mo, no, not her waist! you naughty! naughty"
 The brewer was back at the bridN with another gold-rimmed goo-goo when his wife got nervous and cut in
 "Is i'd you turn your face to see sc.nediag- -yes?" she snapped. and the foam-prilder ducked to the window and began to eat scenery.

JAMES RICHARDSON
SHOT BY ALLEGED DEPUTY
SHERIFF.
DepIorabIe Tragedy Done Without
Cause.

Since the shooting of Jim Richard
son last Saturday night, which oc-
Cured near the corner of Fillmore
and Lewis streets, South Nashville,
some inquiry is said to have been
started to ascertain who were dep
uty sheriffs in Davidson County and
how many there are in Nashville. 1t
is freely talked on the streets now
among the Negroes and quite a few
whites, that one white man out of
every three in this city is deputized
either as a constable, a plain clothes
policeman or a deputy sheriff. Some
have declared that half of the men
who board the street cars in the
morning and go to their daily labor
have commissions as deputy sheriffs
constables or special policemen. Fur.
Their tia nthis, the matter seems to
have drifted into an ugly state of af
fairs, according to well-informed cit
liens, in that whenever white man
I decides to impose upon a Negro he
does it and is often shielded under
the guise that he is an officer and
that the Negro was resisting arrest
Time and again the citizens of Nash
vile dec are that these shootings and
self-defense pleas were by men who
were not actively in the service. A
gentleman who has lived in the city
for quite number of years said to a
Globe reporter that he has seen men
(paper hangers) working by the day
with their badge under their clothes
as a deputy sheriff. But the shooting
of Jim Richardson, according to state
ments, was unprovoked and uncalled
for. Rumor has it that the so-called
deputy sheriff fired without provoca
tion and that Richardson was moi
threatening or approaching the al
legged officer in Threatening manner
that he was going into the soft drink
stand as was his custom and habit
and that he did not speak to Walker
