 It seems the two city negroes called at the rear door of Mackey & Sons dry goods store on Avenue with the trash wagon, and while the porter, Daniels, was handing them the trash and garbage box he passed out three pairs of ladies' shoes to the two negroes. MT. Mackey missed the shoes, and suspecting the negroes with the wagon, followed them and had them arrested.
