ARTICLES INCLUDED A CRAZT
QUILT WITH THE MOTTO J' A
PURE HEART."
Anyone standing In need of ruga,
quilts, lap robes, calico dresses, socks,
towels or quilt pieces will do well to
call at city ball. The police depart
ment Is carrying a full line of these ar
ticles today. And thereby hangs a
tale.
Friday night between the hours of
1 and 2, Patrolman Chappell met a man
on Roberts street in whom he was in
terested. It was Blanton Thacker, of
color, known In the regions ' round
about Roberts street as "Candy." Div
ers and sundry chickens have been
missing from time to time, and Mr.
Chappell has long wanted to consult
with "Candy" about those chickens,
but he is modest and keeps out of the
way of the police and the officer knew
that if any inquiries were made as to
"his whereabouts "Candy's" , retiring
disposition would impel him to leave
the city.
In the uncertain light Mr. Chappell
noticed that Thacker carried what
seemed to be a gray, oblong, cylindri-
cal body under his arm.
"What you got there?" Queried the
policeman.
"Why, hello! Is dat you, Mr. Chap
pell?" asked he of the saccharine pseu
donym.; -"What you got, I say?"
"Who, me? I ain't got nothin' eept
dls here."
"What's in that bundle?" sternly de-r
manded the policeman.
"Ohf dls. Why. dls here dese
dese is some rugs what I was a fotchin'
home wld me." .' .
"Whtre'd you get 'em?"
"What, dese rugs? I bought 'em."
"Bought ?em when?'5 ,
"I done bought 'em let's see, 'bout
two months ago."
, "I beeirwantlng to have a talk with
you, Candy," said Mr. Chappell; "come
along."
A man was sent to the prisoner's
domicile and found more . rugs. The
news of his arrest spread, by means
of that mysterious system Of mental
telegraphy which exists among the
negroes. Early yesterday morning a
denlseh of Roberts street appeared at
police headquarters with some rugs.
"Candy lef dese here at my house," he
said. 'I'm 'spicious he mout er stole
'em somewhars."
"Candy seems to be makln' a, collec
tion of rugs," remarked a policeman.
One " article after another was
brought in from the Roberts street
neighborhood, and this morning the
' collection inventoried as follows:
rite, rugs, with fringe.
Two rugs, without.
One pair of trousers, no longer new.
Two buggy rugs
One homemade door mat.
One white bearskin rug.
One figured splasher.
One striped gingham apron.
One black calico drees, separable.
