Didn't Care About the Bullets
Uonroe Journal *
A white hobo who was put on
he chain gang last Monday for c
carrying concealed weapons, p
caused a great sensation in the iouthern
part of town Tuesday 1
n two unsuccessful attempts to
escape, made right together. ,
L'apt. Fletcher says that in all his experience
he has not seen any- i
thing like this. The man was
shot at eleven times in close ^
range and never touched except
by one bullet which merely >
burned his hand as he was jump- 3
ing a fence. And during the ^
race the man did all kinds of .
stunts. The gang was working l
an south Ilayne street. The
man broke ami ran and had got- >
ten out of reach of the guard
behind a fence, when he met ]
Capt. Fletcher face to face,
inly they were on the opposite i
side of the fence. Capt. Fletcher .
told him if he didn't stop he '
would shoot him down. Instead
of stopping the man wheeled i.
and ran hack. Mr. Fletcher shot ]
at his legs three times, hut miss ed.
When he got hack in reach ;
I the guard lie was ordered to
stop again. Instead he put his j
hands on the fence to jump over.
It was then that the bullet grazed !
his hand and he threw up bis 1
hands and surrendered. i
They started back to the gang J
with him. When in the neigh
borhood of Mr. Walter Lock- j
hart's house, the man saw Mrs.
Lockhart in the yard. lie broke !
straight for her as a shield, and j
for a time no one could shoot for
fear of hitting her. When She ^
got out of the wav they began to
shoot at his legs at close ia4fi?, ,
with pistol, rifle and shot gun.
One bullet from Captain Fletch-r
er's pistol went between his legsjj
and killed one of Mr. Lockbart'jjj
fine hens. The man kicked thmj
ben out of the way and ran right
on. (Jetting in the shelter of a |
fence, he got down to the back ?
lot of Mr. |. R. Rnglish. Here a
colored man was hauling with a
one borj g wagon. The man
jumped on the horse hitched to
the wagon- unit N-r;.'/? out
the negro shut the lotj^MJ
and he couldn't get out. He ^
jumped off the horse, knocked (
the negro down with a rock and |
kept going. Of course thorhnsn
was in full cry behind him.
Across Church street he went ,
ami into the hack yard oi Candf
tain Green. .As he mounted lllH
hack steps to run into the house, I
two trusty negroes from the J
chain gang who had been fol- t
lowing came up with him. One ,
f them threw a dog chain ]
around his neck and jerked him j
hack and both seized him. Cap- |
lain Fletcher then took him in ,
charge arul the man swore that s
le would run again just as soon f
is they took their hands off. ,
lint Captain Fletcher changed <
lis mind about this, persuading i
mil n> llie MCip 1)1 IMC I WO SlOlll
rustics, to stand until lie could
lend up town foi chains and a
ock, will) which his feel were
ockcd together.
I lie man lias since been woikn^
quietly. 1 le told the boys
le didn't mind being shot at as
ie had been shot and hit five
imes before.
Little Walter and Cjerald had
leased to wonder at the arrival
>1 another baby brother after a
ew weeks had elapsed since that
ventftil occasion, says Harper's
da^a/ine. 1 heir attention was
low directed to an importation
f haby kittens.
" Wit ere do yon s'pose those :

nut year old Gerald. "iJid the
