Negro Endeavors to Enter Store Via Chimney, lint (Jets Stuck on Way. What is a most unusu* 1 and unique occurrence took place several nights | ago at Borden, when a negro endeav? ored to onter the store of Emanuel & Company by way of the chimney ami j sot stuck on his way down. All of j his own efforts to extricate himself were unavailing and there he remain- | ed, stuck fast, his feet down and his hands up over his head, until at last help came in answer to his calls. The negro was a hand on Mr. Emanucl's place. Evidently he thought there was an easier way to get rations thn,n to buy them, but he found that the way of the transgres? sor Is hard, not only figuratively, but literally. How long he remained in the chimney is not known, but his calls for help were heard at about three o'clock j rn the mornins when Mr. Emanuel went out to investigate. All efforts to pull or push him out of his fastenings were ineffec? tual and chimney had to be torn down to extricate him. When released hon w'.us so limp and helpless, that it was several hours before he could ?peak. He was put to bed and given atten? tion and recovered later In the day, when he stated In explanation of his being found In the chimney, accord? ing to reports of the affair, that he had been locked up In the store and was endeavoring to get out through the chimney. The negro was not prosecuted, as it was thought that his punishment had already been sufficient, but he was told to leave the place in short order. DEATH OF W. E. WATSON.
