Notable Capture of
Negro Desperate

Jacksonville, Jan. 27-In the ar
rest early yesterday morning of
George White. a negro. alleged to
De Frank Harris. an ex-convict, the
police believe that they have cleared
up many house robberies, which
have baffled the department for the
past few weeks.
White was taken into custody at
4 o'clock in the morning in an al
ley near the corner Of Adams and
Cedar streets. after a life-and-death
struggle. in which Detective p. p.
Lord proved to be the better man.
Detective Lord, while patrolling
the city for thieves, suspected the
negro and followed him. While
questioning him in an alley on Cedar
street. the negro attempted to draw
his pistol and the two went together
in a death grapple. Neither had a
chance to get hold of his weapon,
and the fight resorted to a test of
strength. After pounding on the
black with his fists and finally Sc
curing a hold on his throat. Detec-
tive Lord overpowered White and
disarmed him.
The negro carried a modern 3s-
calibre Colt pistol. such as is used
by the Southern Express Company.
He also had in his possession two
valuable rings. already identified as
those stolen In house robbery at
100 East Monroe street, and a watch
stolen from a man rooming at 432
West Monroe street. The pistol was
identified as the one stolen some
time ago from L. T. Williams, an
express messenger OF Arcadia, who
was stopping at a local hotel at the
hime Of the robbery.
Thus far the alleged thief has
failed to disclose his place of resi-
dence. upon which the police are
now depending to recover much
more stolen property.
White is said to be Frank Harris.
who was arrested on May s, 1871.
on the charge of grand larceny. He
was sentenced to five years in the
State penitentiary, on May IS. He
is believed by the police to be one
Of the cleverst Of negro house
breakers. and much importance is
placed in his capture.

HOW HE SAVED TRAMP
PRINTER FROM LYNCHING

Three newspaper men, two of
them veterans and one the Rambler,
who felt like cub when talking
with the others. gathered on cor
ner on Central avenue the other
morning for a few minutes of swap
ping yarns. The other two men, be-
sides the Rambler, were S. H. Pye,
Of Ohio, and H. S. Fuller, of New
York. Mr.. Fuller used to be in
Newspaper work in Ohio and he and
Mr.. Pye were in much the same ter
ritory. Both worked, at different
times. for Cincinnati papers. Mr..
Fuller covered Covington for the old
Commercial and told the following
story of how he saved a man from
being lynched. He said:
al had a tip that there would be
lynching in the country, some dis
lance from Dayton At that time
was employed on a Dayton paper
that had the highest standing in
that section of the State. l reached
the scene of the crime late at night
and presently found crowd of 200
men with a prisoner in the center
of the group, getting ready to lynch
him. / edged into thecrowd to get
good view, so / could write bet
ter stry for my paper, when l Saw
the man who was being held pris-
oner. recognized him as tramp
printer who had been employed, the
night before, by the paper on which
I was working. He saw me and be-
gan to yell for me to save him, say
| ing that they were about to hang
him. l managed to get onto an ele'
waited position where | could com
mand attention and began to talk tc
| the crowd. l told them who | was
and that it would have been impos'
sible for this man to be guilty of the
crime. 1t had been committed th'
night before. knew that the printer
had worked in the office in Dayton
all during that evening. | talked
as best I could and they finally re
luctantly allowed me to take tn
printer back TO Dayton with me. HI
had had a narrow escape and hal
been roughly used but he was happ,
over getting loose. My story was
ruined but l had the satisfaction of
saving an innocent man from
death. '-Rambler in st. Petersbur
