Capt. Fletcher says that in all his experience he has not seen anything like this. The man was shot at eleven times in close range and never touched iexcept by one bullet whicft merely burned his hand as he was jumping a fence. And during the race the man did all kinds "of stunts. The gang was working on soiun nayne street. lJie man broke and ran and Iwid got', ten out of reach of the guarcl behind a fence, when he *njjH Capt. Fletcher face to fadft only they were on the opposite side of flie fence. Capt. FletcJier told him if he didn't stop?^"h6 would shoot him down. Instead of stopping the man wheeled and ran back. Mr. Fletcher &ci| at his legs three times, hjit missed. When he got back in react) of the guard he was ordered io stop again. Instead tye put. his hands on the fence to jump over. It was then that the bullet grazed bis band and he threw up liis hands and surrendered.!, . They started back to the gang with him. When in the neighborhood of Mr. Watyer Lock; hart's house, the man saw Mrs, Lockliart in tile yard. He broke straight for her as a shieldf and for a time no one could shooti^1 fear of hitting her. Whe^ $be got out of the way they b^*gajt to shoot at his legs at close with pistol, rifle and shot gun. One bullet from Captain Fletcher's pistol went between his lea and killed one of Mr. Lockhar? fine hens. The man kicked the hen out of the way and ran right on. Getting in the shelter of 8 fence, he got down to the back lot of Mr. 1. R. English. Here 8 colored man was hauling with c one hors a wagon. The mat jumped on the horse hitched Ic the wagon- and "but the negro shut the lotj^PP and he couldn't get out. He jumped off the horse, knocked the negro down with a rock and kept going. Of course the chase was in full cry behind him, Across Church street he went and into the back yard of Caft tain Green. As he mounted tu| uuca IU I 1111 IUIU lilt; nouse, two trusty negroes from the chain gang who had been following came up with him. One of them threw a dog chain around his neck and jerked him back and both seized him. Cap tain Fletcher then took him in charge and the man swore that he would run again just as soon as they took their hands off. But Captain Fletcher changed his mind about this, persuading him by the help of the two stout trusties, to stand until he could send up town for chains and a lock, with which his feet were locked together. The man has since been working quietly, lie told the boys he didn't mind being shot at as he had been shot and hit five times before. Little Walter and Gerald had ceased to wonder at the arrival of another baby brother after a few weeks had elapsed since that eventful occasion, says Harper's Magazine. Their attention was now directed to .in importation of baby kittens. "Where do you s'pose those kittens came f om?" queried four-year-old Gerald. "Did the stork bring them just like baby brother?" Seven year-old replied with ponderous precision: "Of course not, silly. Storks wouldn't oring kittens. God nude them. God said, 'Let there ->e kittens, and there was kitens.'
