marks further:

longer than any other singers ] have

his high C-sharp they vibrate $50

sheriff who went after them put hand
cuffs on them and started to Jail. Floyd
Allen heard of it. He went to the road
along which the officer was to pass with
his prisoners and when he appeared he
proceeded to administer beating to the
officer and released the offenders. He
declared that he did not mind having the
boys arrested. but that the officer should
not handcuH them as though they were
outlaws. This happened in the year 1911.
Floyd Allen First Tried.
Floyd Allen was indicted for interior
ing with an officer. His case was finally
called for trial in March of last year. The
jury had heard the evidence, and early
on the morning Of March ii verdict of
guilty was returned. the man being given
year in the penitentiary. He was SEN

Floyd Allen declared that he would not
go to the penitentiary, and is alleged TO
have begun to unfasten a sweater.
Sheriff Louis Webb was ordered to take
charge of the prisoner. He started in the
direction Of Floyd Allen. Clerk Dexter
