COTTON THIEF CAPTURED.
Negroes Who .Bobbed Freight
Train Bun Down.
Policemen Weeks sad Barwick made an im
portant capture Monday night. Wilson Dick,
a boras sad wagoo and two bales of stolen
eottoo were cap ored in the outskirts of the
elty between I and 8 o'clock this ssoroing,
but Dick's confederate, John Brooke, saade
bis escape.
It .as by the sssrsat accident tbst the
polieemeo got oa the track of the thieves and
tbey deserve credit for tba promptness with
which thsy acted, far otherwise the tbievss
would hava escaped wltb tbc cotton.
Policemen Weeks went down near ibe
depot to look sftsr a drnok man reported to
be asleep andsr a bos car, and sftst waking
aim sad Sedtag tbat be was not drunk
enough to be arraatad, bed started to return
to bis beat, when a negro man came ranbing
across the lote and told him be was looking
for a policeman. This negro stated tbat be
had just seen two negro ssen with two bales
of cotton ao a oos-bore* wagon on the old
abandoned roadway of tbc 0. 8. k If. going
toward Mr. Orabam's farm, and tbat their
accouat of their presence tbers wae suspi?
cions
Mr. Weeks hurried an to the guard bouee
and calling Policeman Barwlek to bit assist*
asce armed ihsmeslvss with riflee and set out
in pursuit of the wagon. Tbey came up with
the wagon In the edge of Turkey creek
swamp on the hack part of Mr. Graham's
fares Tbey baited lbs nsgroes and covered
item with the ht*s, bnt the one on the off
side of tb* wagoo made a break for the
s *amp sad escaped into the undergrowth.
Policeman Btrwick 6red at him several
times, but did not bring bim dowo. The
other negro, who was identified M Wilson
Dick, was arrested and be and the bnrs*,
wagon and cotton were brought to the guard
house Dick says that his. companion ?.?
Jobo Brooks, a negro wbom he hud known
b it a short tiune Dick's story is that Brooks
eogagtd bim to haul the cotton and tcld bio
to have his wagon by the railroad, near the
site of Brunson'sold sash and blind factory, at
U o'clock last night He was there at the
hour and watted until after the night freight
on the Central K. R. bai passed. Brook -
men came to bim aod told bim to go a short
di'tanre up the track to get the cotton
The two bates were found lyng beside the
fail about fifty yards apart Taey leaded
itif cotton on the wagon and were leaving
the vL'toity of the town by the sboneai
ronte. Nothing is known of Brooks, who
made bis escape, nnt Dick is a firmer mho
b-e livel near tbo Poor House curio ? the
past year. It is evident ihn the two neuroep
ri?d a confedeiate on t"" train who threw r.ff
the cotton for i Via to banl away, for it is not
probable that Brooks could have thrown it
ff b mself and tben jjmped off while tb"
train was under full headway It is though)
?hn theie men may know something abou
the two btlfg of cotton stolen from a box act
near ibe People's Ice Farcy a few wrk
?go, but Dick claims to know nothing abou*
the sanit?r and in the tbeft U-t niabt had no
par. except as ao employe of Brooks Brooke
baj probably mad* good his escape, and will
leave this county io avoid arres'..
