NABBED A YEGGMAIN? SO"BOOZY" THOUGHT Young; Fellovt (Jets Tips; nnd Thinks He Mas Captured Yeoman who Mas Hen- in .!anunr\. Hut The Columbia Stato of Monday i * morning baa the following story of ? interest to many of our readers: u "The police had a striking example yesterday afternoon of the 'blind leading the blind." when a young SOamp and a typical old lino hobo , were brought to the station, both eon-1 quered by too much alcohol. The J young fellow, while loaded up to the! ' nozzle yesterday afternoon. ran i across the hobo on a Southern railway track and adopted him forthwith. "The knight of the crossties was footsore and weary and gladly wel comed the adoption. He is partially paralyzed and his feet are bunioned from many ni lifts of track covered. Under the lufiuence of being adopted by the boozy one the hobo himself aoon became thoroughly, genuinely 'ntfficated.' "When Detectives Ford and Rlchard ' saw the boozy twabi, the younger man had the lu;bo by the arm leading him toward the city. When ques tioned by the otllcers, the man of much drink said he had arrested the hobo because he was the yeggmnn that figured In the double killing at Lfturens. Admitted that he was not nn officer, but that anybody had au thority to arrest such a desperate character as a yeggman. "Hobo hadn't said anything until his captor said that ho would have ar rested the other yegg, but that the po liceman killed him and he was dead. The hobo then roused up to say, 'Yes, he's dead.' "'You sec he admits knowing all i about It,' triumphantly oxclulmed the would.bo captor. As both wore very, very drunk, they were taken care of ' for the night tu police headquarters. The drunken statement by the self appointed captor is most singular, for i j'td as they were locked up, a me* sane came to Chief Catheart. statin;; that George Barton, the 1.aureus yegg ?>au. and Tennessee Dutch had es caped from the Greenville jail. l"n fortUliatel> the hobo held here is not Y the famous yegg, as he couldn't either crack a safe or break jail. He won't have a charge of fugitlvo from justice but just plain drunk." Card of Thanks.
