Dan Frazier who is a very black, and very lean and lank colored youth, was in the Recorder's Court this morning to tell about a little game of crap-shooting that took place sev eral months ago in the rear of the Gem restaurant. Dan was in court yesterday as a witness against several negroes who, he charged, had thrown a glass or or other missile at him, on the same night that the gaming occurred, and it seems that Dan "thought he could go one better and make a clean sweep of the whole crowd by allege ing that they were all playing craps. .At -any rate it was Dan against four negroes who swore that they did not shoot craps, and the court was compelled by all the rules of law to accept the testimony of four rather than one. Dan, however, boldly admitted that he was in the game, and . the court could do nothing but bind him over under a ?50 . bond to the next term of court, which means that Dan will have to languish in jail for five weeks until court meets-r-J Dan accepted, the inevitable turn of the wheel of fate and calmly wit nessed the destruction of the dream he had planned out seeing the whole crowd go to jail. There was one other witness, Jo Robinson, who said that there - was some crap - shooting on., the night mentioned, Oct. 19th. The negroes who were tried and given their freedom were Geo. Buch anan, Lewis' Davis and Eugene Mc Lean. Yesterday afternoon Chief Irwin and Officer Thomas were driving over the suburbs, about East Second street extension, when they suddenly ran up on what appeared to be a regular row of the whole colored population. The center of the disturbance was two women, standing on their porches, about 75 feet apart, telling each other things that caused a considerable crowd to collect in the street and come peering out of the doors and windows. The two wo men, Carrie and Lula Withers, were ouarreling about a negro child.. The iincers summoned the two to "court this morning where the fuss was in vestigated.' The defendants were fined each half the costs. Manufacturing Bricks. Mr. J. C. Steele, of Statesville, rep resenting: J. C.

Wallace, Jr.,- To Secure Prisoner. Sheriff N. W. Wallace has been wait ing for several days to hear some thing definite from his son, N. W. Wal lace, Jr., who. has gone to : secure the prisoner, Young -Caldwell, who is want ed in Mecklenburg county, having es caped two years ago from the chain gang. The Richmond papers have been printing locals about the efforts of Mr. Wallace to secure the prisoner, also saying that the officials of that city were somewhat surprised at the amount of the reward, $10, and that it was thought by the Richmond po lice that the reward was something like $100. Sheriff Wallace says that heretofore! he has had no trouble in securing prisoners from Virginia without requi sition papers, and that he had receiv ed a letter . from the authorities of that city regarding the present case, in which they stated that the negro was there and that no mention was made of requisition papers being . nec essary. Sheriff Wallace says that he thinks the authorities ; should have no tified him that such papers would be required but in .-the -..absence of any reference to this matter he was under the necessity of taking it for granted that no requisition papers would be needed. As to not sending papers with nis son to Richmond, he states that he did not have time to prepare them after his son informed him that he was going to" Richmond, and that hei informed Mr. N. W. Wallace, Jr., that he would deputize Him to bring the negro back to the jail here. . U.he comments of the Richmond pa pers in their- local columns - left, the impression that Mr. Waliacf presented himself at the headquarters of the au thorities at Richmond without any thing to indicate that he had authori ty to take the negro home. When it was further learned that the prisoner had demanded that requisition papers be secured, the matter was delayed that much more. t . i Sheriff Wallace haslreday ; com municated with the State authorities at Raleigh for the papers to be for warded to Richmond, p.nd RYnpr.ts the prisoner to be brought home tonight j or tomorrow morning by his son whom he duly deputized to take charge of the negro. Sheriff Wallace received a telegram from his son yesterday evening inquir ing about the papers, and the sherin. answered that they had been asked for and should reach Richmond witn out delay. - "As to the reward" said the sheriff, "they need not accept it if they do not want to." BACK FROM CAMP Members of Boys' Department of;Y. M. C. A. Had Greatest Time of Their Lives.

The time has been spent In a revelry of boyish pleas ure along the old - river and with fishing, bathing, camping, and story telling about the camp-fires at night the boys could not have had a more ideal surrounding for their annual trip. , It was the most joyous throng . of youngsters seen together in many a day here as the camp wagons rumbled into town today, filled with jthe camp outfit, bedding; clothes, and other prop erty of the boys, and 'they, one and all are so enthusiastic over the good time they have had, that; they think the Catawba is better even than the moun tains. - - ' When it . was remembered that tvro score boys were - in ,: the crowd, it is easy to picture, the nature of their out ing, and the special features provided for their amusement and happiness. The camp has been in charge of Mr. Knebel, the boys'- secretary, and he has had his hands full all the day long, looking after the welfare of his prote gees, but both boys and Mr. Knebel and the. other older members of the camp have had their full of pleasure and are now ready to get: down to work, whether schoo) or business.
