FOUND A BARRED OF BEER.
But the Man Who Owned 1t Got
Away.

BY the discovery of a loose piece of
the house of Buss Cross, a notorious
negro, a police raidng party last night
captured a barrel of beer. Buss is no
spring chicken though he does fly over
backyard fences and almost outguessed
the police
He had partly concealed the cracks
around the loose board with dust and
had a rug tackled down on the floor. To
get into his supply of beer, it was neces-
sary for him to pull tack. That is keep
ing beer under difficulties but 1t makes
it hard for the police to find it.
Buss Cross is said to be the slipperiest
and fleetest negro in the city. He can
takes fences and hedges like an English
hunter Once again he slipped past the
officers. 1t seems that when they turned
their eyes to look into the hole under the
floor, he scooted- He simply evaporated,
say the officers A warrant was issued
today.
