GOT TOO GAY

A bunch of negroes got too frisky
near Reddick Saturday night. One,
by the name of Arlin Racket, had a
gun, and when Deputy Sheriff c. A.
Thomas tried to arrest him, a crowd
of darkeys closed in on the deputy
and one of them stabbed him in the
back. A phone message was sent to
Sheriff Thomas, and he at once went
to Reddick, accompanied by Deputies
Perkins and Virgins, and Policeman
Bronson. They soon bounded up Racket
and four other negroes, Shine Gallo
way, Bill Hart, Brown and Rutledge
all of whom are now in Jail. Deputy
Thomas wound is painful, but appar-
emily is not serious.

John and Joe McGinnis, twenty and
eighteen-year-old singers of note, spend
q good deal of their time in the woods
camping. Several weeks ago the boys
noticed that there were four frogs in
the creek which stuck pretty close
together and that their voices werv
easily distinguishable., They lay
awake at night listening to these frogs.
The boys started singing Garry Me

They sang a couple Of times just to

They were astonished an hour later
when they heard the bullfrogs croak-
Ing away on the same tune, picking 1t

The next night the boys sang the
same song three or four times, at In
tefvals of an hour, with the bullfrog
quartette practicing on it between
times. This continued for four nights.
when the bullsrogs could actually
"carry the tune" to the melody.
The boys went home and told the
story. Six Of the most representative
men in Gladewater accompanied them
to the creek for "bullfrog concert" !"
There, arranged on a log In proper
musical order, we're the four massive
bullfrogs, singing Garry Me Back to
or virginny," just about as well as
any quartette. The voices Of the
tenor frog, the bass frog. the bari
tone frog and the second tenor frog
stood out clearly.
The McGinnis brothers decided to
capture the frogs. They had no trouble
They stayed for the night and when
they interrupted the frog concert by
singing "Oh Black Joe." the four bull
frogs hoped off the log and came to

The killing, under the peculiar cir
cumstances, has caused q commotion
In the town and adjacent territory.
No blame or censure, however, at.
taches to the young man. who has
borne an exemplary reputation end
was deeply attached to his father.
It appears from the meager reports
that have filtered in here that young
Delaney, who has been inclined to
peculiar nervous disorder recently,
arose shortly after l o'clock In the
morning and, taking his double-bar'
relied shotgun from the corner OF the
room, left the house and started
across the yard as II to go hunting.
The noise of the young mans get
ting up and going out aroused the
elder Delaney. When he saw his son
going across the yard In his night
clothes, gun In hand, he ran out after
the youth. 1t seems the fathers calls
or something frightened the young
man. for he turned and shot his
father, the load Of shot causing almost
instant death.
The discharge Of the gun awoke the
son. who was completely overcome
when he saw Whist he had done.
