Didn't Care ^bout the Bullets
Monroe Journal **
A white hobo who was put on
he chain Rang last Monday for
carrying concealed weapons,
caused a great sensation in the
southern part of town Tuesday
in two unsuccessful attempts to
escape, made right together.
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.'
