' . ' At the new Fourth atreet crosnln they came upon the quarry, or at least & part of.lt , There, with his leg crosaed and hl supporting1 foot; flxed upon the dashboard, lolled John Jack son In the ? piano-box ' bugtfyv The broom-sedge inule stood with hla ears hung down. John had on a suit of overalls lined, with rubber as hla outer garment, and for underclothes he wore another ir of overalls. l'I een't de man you la er-tryln to fin','? AJohn advised! Officers Sumner vrow and Hargett. "Tou gemmans is lost ; Tou Is , on de wrong road." But the hack; driver Insisted, that ,this was .his man. -. ,' . " ' . The cops spied' a big valise m the . buggyi and seized 1 John , was mightr nervous. "Bosb," he begged, 'please.; s&h. don't go Into my things lak dat Tou'don't want to mess wtd 1 my ole nigger shirts en stchlack!" The cops did not feel like con versa v . Hon, and In silence opened the valise. It was made In two compartments. On one side of the partition there appear ed this Inventory: Twenty-four pints of whiskeys on the other side 17 pints and tone quart. In a little, new tele- scoWll pints. 0-ose In the footboard. for home consumption, one pint of real white corn, half a pint of case goods. one quart ef case goods, three bottles of been"? ton gallon Ju of whiskey, three half-gallon Jugs of whlBkey. ' "Bobs, dat een't mine," John dis claimed, when' the cop came out from , under the seat With an old, long, rusty . .32 pistol. "Some enemy er mine put dat gun dar. Boss, I swar I nuver seed dat gun befoV' -who is tne otner reiiow" the cop . asked, Innocently. , "Wut -feller you mean? Will Hour ton?" John didn't know he had taken the bait. One officer stayed with John and the other told the hack driver once more to lead on. ' They went toward a little corner grocery, and coming therefrom they met a middle-aged, stout, ginger cake negro, wearing- a moustache and clothed like John, " '1Mb is yo' man," announced the hack driver. Will for Will It was looked at the i brass buttons aghast. "You don't want me, cap'n,"' he echoed John. "I een't done nothln'. You mistaken yo' man." But they carried htm on, and when he saw the situation at the bugjrv he explained that one gallon was Harve Jones', another gallon Jim Byrd's, an i other gallon John Btarns, another gal ' Ion Harve Afassey's, and so on. It developed that they were en route to the Howie Mine, where they were to deliver their goods to the afore- said. John and Will were both taken to the police station wnere they were Incarcerated, on several different charges, larceny, carrying concealed weapon, etc. It was a badi night for blind tigers and Houstons. While the reporter was Investigating the case Just mentioned, he came across another. At the South ern station last night Patrolman Slkes noticed one Bradshaw Houston carrying-a load In fact, tw loads, for in hjs hand he carried a large grip which evidently continued weighty goods. Being too drunk to navigate, he was carried to the. station and locked up. The large, heavy grip was then opened by the inquisitive reported. On top was a big. thick overcoat, neatly fold ed and very innocefit in appearance. However, large though the coat was, It did not explain the great weight of the grip. A further investigation was made. Under the coat was a layer of newspapers, then more newspaper In small rolls. , Finally the bottom was reached where, wound round and round with papers, were three Jugs, two gal lons and one half gallon, all full to the cork, and all neatly concealed in de fiance of the anti-jug law.
