Mans Property.
Attaching a mans property for debt
is supposed to be a legal process, but
an incident which occurred years ago il

benefcent purpose.
An odd affair occurred when I was
last at Natchez, declared Mr.. Crockett
A steamboat stopped at the landing
and one of the crew went ashore to
purchase provisions. He went into 6
saloon on the way, and the adroit In
mates contrived L rob him Of all his
money. The captain Of the boat, a de
termined fellow, went ashore in the
hope of persuading them to refund
but they declined.
without further ceremony the cap
tain. assisted by his crew and passen'
gers, some 800 or 400 In number, made
fast an immense cable to the frame
building where the theft had beer
committed. Then he allowed ffteer
minutes for the money TO be forth
coming, vowing that If it were not
produced within that time he would
put steam to his boat and drag the
house into the river.
The thieves knew that he would
keep his word, and the money Wa
promptly produced.
