DIAMOND RING
DARKEY ARRESTED
IN MOBILE WILL HAVE TO AN
SWER TO SEVERAL SERIOUS
CHARGES UPON HIS RETURN
TO PENSACOLA.

Chief of Police Sanders yesterday
turned over to the sheriff's office the
information which he had received
the night before relative to the cap
ture of Alonzo Smith, alias Happy
Jack" in Mobile, and the sheriff will
arrange to bring the negro to this
place and have him punished for the
serious offenses which have been
charged up to him and which will
send him to the state prison for years
if proven. Smith yesterday stated to
Mobile officers that he was not going
to Pensacola unless requisition papers
were presented, and the sheriff, learn
ing of this, has made application for
the required papers.
Smith is the negro whom Will Ham
ilton, alias Red turned up as hav-
ing robbed Freid's jewelry store, TAX
ing among other things a diamond
ring worth $125. The ring was pawn-
ed in Mobile. Hamilton is in the
county Jail now and still maintains
that he kept watch while Smith went
inside and helped himself to jewels
which suited his fancy. The ring was
not the only article stolen.
Hamilton gave his promise that if
dealt with 1enient1y he would tell
where a great deal of stolen jewelry
had been disposed of and could be
recovered. An extremely light pen
atty was given him, and at its COM
pletion, when he persistently refused
to inform the officers where the stolen
jewelry could be found, he was picked
up again. He is in the county Jail
now, awaiting trial

A Charming Afternoon.
Mrs. w. Whitaker Poorer gave an
afternoon card party on Friday, Dec.
31st. The entire second story of her
mothers home, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Poorer are spending this winter, was
thrown open for the function. There
were eight tables laid for cards, and
after some time pleasantly spent at
whist the scores were removed and
the guests RECALLED with a three-course
luncheon.
Assisting Mrs. Poorer were Mes
danes Morgan, Ham and Graves, and
Misses Solomon, Fryer, Weef1ng and
Patton.
In compliance with the season the
decorations throughout the house were
everygreens and holly. This latter
was loaded with berries.
On and Off at the Fair.
The Viewer Street Fair has held
sway here for the past week. AS the
city authorities did not let them use
the streets the whole show camped
upon the baseball grounds. The Sc
verify of the blizzard made the first
few days of the fair far from profit
able, but later in the week the weather
was so pleasant that the various tents
were able to make up for the earlier
misfortune and the caravan left us
last night in high spirits.
One of the amusing results of their
visitation is the glitter of gold fish
that they left in their wake. So pop
ular was this sport among the youth
that today there is not home in Apa-

or more of these yellow minnows.
