PLAYED A PRANK
ON ALERT OFFICERS
DEPUTY SHERIFF AND CHIEF
OF POLICE HURRIED TO
SCENE OF MURDER"

Chief of Police Hill and Deputy
Sheriff Jennings are not saying much
about it; but nevertheless they are the
victims of a practical joke that has
caused no little amusement to the few
lof their friends who have learned of
la thrilling experience that befell them
la few nights ago.
Early in the night a gentleman who
was unknown TO Chief Hill approach
ed him with the information that a
dead man was lying in the Dawson
land PARROT road about FIVE miles
north of the city. The chief, ever on
the alert to uphold the law, quickly
communicated with the sheriff's office,
and soon he and Deputy Jennings
were burning gas at a lively rate as
the latter's fiivver sped toward the
scene of the homicide. On arrival at
the spot where the unknown man 10
Gated the dead person the officers saw
the corpse in the road, as described.
The sheriff approached to turn the
remains over to see if he recognized
the dead man, and as he did so the
body moved. He was momentarily sur
.prised at this action of the supposed
dead person, but quickly regained his
composure and continued the investi-
cation, which revealed the fact that
1T was a dummy that had been made
by stufing a suit of clothes, and that
a string attached to it and pulled by
some one at the other end had caused
it to move when Deputy Jennings was
examining it.
Just about this time Chief Hill spied
what appeared to be the form of
man in cluster of trees some dis
lance away, and fired his pistol and
commanded the invisible one to come
forth, Deputy Jennings spoke in like
manner with voice and gun, and the
gentleman concealed in the bushes
came forward. Three others also were
in hiding there, and they likewise
made appearance.
The men proved to be Less Powell,
E. G. Goolsby, s. E. Goolsby and
Bonnie Alsabrook, all OF whom are
white citizens of that community, and
they acknowledged to having played
the Joke on the officers. The latter
returned to the city considerably
chagrined at having been made the
victims of practical jokers who were
bent on having little Christmas fun.
1t is not known what became OF
the corpse.
