i ' UNDER ARREST SHOT IN LEG BY COLORED|Of Marriage POLICEMAN; GIVEN ‘ HEARING The old French saying about “Search for the woman”, figured im @ ease that came up yesterday @fternoon before Peace Justice Esquinald: George Drains, negro, used to} < be the lover of a certain woman, whose love cooled to an iciness that chilled him, and not long afterward he lear she was in love with another negr terday when Drains was s proaching the house where the woman lived, she and her lover! devamped, she through a door-! way and he through a window. | Drains entered the house, went) into a bedroom and stretched out in @ bed. He was found there by Geneses Bracton, a negro police- man, who told Drains he was un- der arrest for trespassing. Then, so it was testified, Drains cursed the policeman and said he would not let any “nigger po- Hieeman” arrest him. The dispute grew hotter every second, and, so it was testified also, Drain drew « knife and was opening the blade with his teeth when he was shot through the right leg, which was pierced, then the bulict en- tered his left leg and almost pass- ed. through it also. Drains was held in $200 bail am charges of resisting arrest, trespessing and open profanity. €OUNTY ACCEPTS BUILDING PLAN FOR NEW ANNEX Ralph Russell, city building in- spector, submitted plans, at a special meeting of the Monroe county commission yesterday afternoon for the proposed annex te be constructed to the court- house, adjoining the clerk’s office, and the commission ac- cepted the plans and arranged te advertise for bids. ‘The bids will be opened at a reguler meeting to be held on the night of May 1, and, should a bid be excepted.) work of con- struction will begin shortly thereafter.
