AGAINST NEGROES

Three negroes, alleged to be pro-
prietors of tipping houses, were ar
rested yesterday afternoon and
charged with selling liquor without
license, and at the police station there
is a quantity of liquor which the of
ficers state was seized from the trio
after the arrest of each of them. Joe
Usher, Frank Stallworth and Henry
Pruno are the ones who are charged
with this rather serious offense.

caught the first time.
The negroes were in the city Jail
last night and will appear for trial

with the head foremost between the
horses heels. The wagon horse is
gentle, and had not moved.

by the Chicago White Soy of 1906
This club, known in baseball history
as the "hltlcss wonders" went through
