THEY'VE GOT TO GET a TIN STAR

It's Chief Benefits and Sheriff Tfar-

SO much trouble making arrests these

Mr.. Russell with tin star and a let

could convince positively all breakers

has perfect right to make an arrest.
Steve Brown is the latest person TO

officer, empowered with making ar
rests. Steve was beating one of his

He placed Steve under arrest, or at
least he thought he did. But Steve
declined to be arrested, saying that
the supervisor had a right to make
road improvements and approve war

Steve made his getaway.
In Police Court this morning the
double charge of resisting an officer
and disturbing the peace was placed
against him. He was fined $25 on the
first charge and 81 on the second.

Jonah Horse Stolen

ANIMAL HAS A TALE; IT'S AN IN
TEREsTlNe ONE, AND
WORTH READING.

There's Jonah horse tramping
around somewhere in South Missis-
sippf today, and if its temporary rider
already has not felt the effects of as
sociation with such an animal, direful
results possibly will follow its tenn.
porary ownership. For this is horse
with tale.
The tale is something like this:
Four years ago, white man named
Jim Goff saw the horse, which was
owned by Mack Coleman, negro liv-
ding off River Avenue, and coveted it.
He not only broke the commandment
not to covet, but he went step fur
ther and broke that one about thou
shalt not steal. Goff had the horse
but a short time when he was arrested,
tried, convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for four years. He was
taken to Jackson, and started on his
term, when he thought he saw an op-
portunity to. escape. He tried it, and
i'm making his get away, was shot by a
guard and killed.
! Coleman took his horse back home
and kept it. Friday night it disap-
lpeared again, some one having stolen
it from his home. A general search
is being made for it today by the sher-
iff's office. The animal is 10 or IA
years old. weighs about 1000 pounds,
and has knot on each knee of its
rear legs.
