Corn Recovered that is Suppcised to Have Been Stolen from the Depot-sup posed to Have Been Going on.% for two Years or More. What is supposed to be a case of sys tematic stealing of corn, guano and other things has just been unearthed by the police authorities. A few days ago a car load of corn was opened at the C., N. & L dep-t, on the side track, for delivering to the mer chants to whom it was consigned. The cAr,of course.was left open during the day so the draymen could get at the corn. It seems that in some way it was dis overed that some of the corn was miss ing, and the depot agent telephoned on Monday morning to police headquar ters and put Policeman Franklin on the :ase to work it up. Mr. Franklin soon found out that Doc Waldrop, the negro drayman who n,'is been draying for Mr. P. F. Baxter, aad been hauling corn out from town, and arrested him. He found that Doc ,ad hauled seven bushels to Mr. Char ie Maybin and five bushels to Sim ounts, colored, which Doc claimed he lad hauled for Gus Gray, another leg-, On investigating, Mr. Franklin found he corn at the above named places, trrested Doc Waldrop and Gray made ais escape. The merchants have been missing :orn, guano, etc., for about two years everal sacks turning up short in each ar load, and it is now supposed that his is the way it has been going The Iraymes could easily get it from the ars and no one would suspect them of itealng it. Tne police authorities are working ip the case and have clues which will ik.-ly implicate several others. Mr. Ed. R. Hipp is short twenty. iushels and E. A Griffin & Co are short ive bushels. Policeman Franklin did some good vok in ferreting out the robbery, and we hope that he will succeed, with the Lssistance of his associates, in captur ng all of the guilty Iarties. ids -- Personal.
