S-PARTANBURG "COP" CAUGHT. Store Had Reported Robberies and Another Officer Was Set to Watcb the Store. Spartanburg, August 24.-The al leged attempt of F. R. Mulligan, a member of the police department of Spartanburg, to rob the cash drawer in the Dupre book store at 4 o'clock this morning, but which was frustra ted by Officer Rice Nolen, caused a big sensation in police circles and throughout the city, when it became known. Mulligan is alleged to have been caught in Warren Dupre's book store early this morning by Private Rice Nolen, who had been stationed inside the store, as it had been.re ported that the place had been fre quently robbed. Policeman Nolen was secreted inside, and when the early morning intruder entered the store through the front door by means of a key, he approached the cash drawer. Officer Nolen, who was not far away, arise and in rising from his position his pistol struck the counter or showcase, making a noise causing Policeman Mulligan to beat a hasty retreat out of the front door. Nolen gave pursuit, chasing him around the corner at Ligon's drug store, through North Church street. Mulligan turn ed into Kennedy Place and made a dash for the alley at Bagwell's cor ner. Nolen fired three shots, one of the balls entering a glass window in Pearson's fruit store, near Green & Bishop's drug store. When Mulligan turned into the alley at Bagwell's store he opened fire, but whether he shot at Nolen is not known. He was overtaken in the narrow street by Nolen, and be broke completely down and cried like a baby. Policeman Rice Nolen, when asked about the alleged attempt at robbery, stated that -he was off on his vaca tion, or was supposed to be taking a holiday; that a report had been made that the Dupre book store was being entered at various times, and that money, fountain pens, presents, etc., -were being taken from the store. Night before last he was detailed to watch the store, and was secreted in side of the building. A man entered the store, but he could not distinguish him, for the reason that lie was in the back portion of the store. The reason he was in the rear of the store was because he thought the intruder wonld eriter from the rear. The man, however, came in through the front door, and left the same way. Last night, he said, he set his trap to catch the would-be robber at the front of the store. Officer Nolen said he se creted himself near the cash drawer and this morning he was astonished to see Policeman Mulligan ente.r the store througha the front door and make his way towvards the cash drawer. No len said he arose from behind the counter or tab)le and in doing so his oistol struck the counter and Mulli gan took flight. He gave pursuit, fir ing several shots, three in all. Mulli gan ran around Ligon 's corner, turn ed into Kennedy Place, and then dashed through the alleyway near Bagwell 's grocery store. Private Mulligan, who was caught in the store last night, was acting ser geant of the force, taking the blace of Sergt. John Jackson, who is at Hot Springs for the benefit of his health. He was also mentioned as a possible candidate for chief of p)olice under the new administration. DIDN'T MEAN TO ABUSE SENATE.
