NEGRO AUCTIONED OFF. ‘eld at Courthouse Doer at Louis- ville, Ky.—First Incident of Kind Since War, | | | | | | | Sye Lewis is the first negro sold into | servitude in Kentucky since the war. |He was disposed of at Louisville ac- |cording to the order 6f the Spencer y court, adver d as follows: ic Sale of Vagr to the judgmen rt, ent The law under which the sale was made was passed in 1795, and aimed at | “GENTLEMEN, A BID.” stopping gambling as much as vagran- cy. The sale of Lewis was typical of a Kentucky county court day auction. The auctioneer, a men past middle life, stood on the old courthouse steps. “Gentlemen,” he cried, “come right up heah; I’m a-goin’ to do something | which many of you have never seen, and which some of you have forgot. I'm a-goin’ to do something I haven’t done for 36 years. I’m a-g to sella nigger. I just sa a minute I haven’ en one sold in 36 years. saw plenty of it before the war. “Now, gentlemen, by order of the Spencer county court, I’m a-goin’ to = and best bidder for a term of months Sye Lewis cannot be found, so I’m in- structed to sell the nigger a-runnin’. Now, I want you gentlemen to under- stand that we are responsible for the nigger until we deliver him into youh hands befoh the courthouse door, I forgot to say that I don’t believe he has any blemishes on him, except a carbuncle on his neck. I can guaran- tee that he is not stringhaltered or ewe necked. “Now, gentlemen, we have heard all the terms of the sale. Some one give me a bid on Sye Lewis, and start him along.” After a time some one bid two dol- lars and when the auctioneer had ex- hausted his effort to have the bid in- creased he was knocked down at that price. Sye is still “a-runnin’.” WOMAN TAKES A WILD RIDE. Shot Oot of Vestibule Car, She Clings to the Steps for Five Miles. to the steps of a vestibule sleeper was the trying experience of Mrs. W.

Kentucky Girl Displays Rare Pres- ence of Mind. When Her Lover Picked Up Her Jewelry and Valuables, It Nearly Broke Her Heart, But Not Her Pride, st curious of Ken- ever reporter, e years i ung man } J m in southern ja small buil ather told his ate one on the ter t I d better arrange with one of her as he ex} ed to leave the city on a business trip and would be gone over night. “She told him that she would not be afraid to stay in the house alone. She expected to go out to the theater that evening with her fiance. When they returned she would ask him to see that all the windows were securely fastened, and she would feel perfectly secure after he had gone. “Her father somewhat reluctantly agreed to this, and started on his jour- aey. The girl and her fiance went out together, as they had arranged to do. It seemed a peculiarly happy evening to the young woman. They returned to the house in due time. At her re- d all the win- quest her fiance exami jd d doors to see that they were stened. She bade him good night and went up to her room, asking him to extinguish the front hall light and | slose the front door as he left. She saw TOOK HER JEWELS. the light go out and heard the front | door slam. | “Thinking all was safe, she prepared | to retire. fore getting into bed, Jand while standing in front of her |mirror, combing her hair at a dresser | just opposite the door to the room and over which was a transom, she saw reflected from the transom the face ofa man. A closer look showed that j it was the man she had just left at the 1g of a cool temperament and | not possessed of ‘nerves,’ she made no sign of her observation, but calmly turned out the gas and retired. She lay awake, waiting to see what would jhappen. In about half an hour she | was horrified to see the figure of this | same individual climbing through the | transom. He got into the room, walked to her dresser, took the jewels from it, ineluding gifts he himself had | made to her, ransacked the little treas- ure boxes she had, and then stealthily returned through the transom. With }eyes half closed the young woman watched the whole performance si- | lently. | “Her father returned home next morning and heard the story with ex- |treme indignation. She begged him | not to create any scandal about it, and | as the young woman was nearly crazed with distress, he respeeted her wishes. It was finally agreed that she should write to the young man, telling him that she had seen it all, asking him to return her jewelry and requesting him never to let her see his face again. “The father took this note to the young man, who promptly delivered the valuables he had stolen. The young woman's friends were told that | the engagement was off, and it was not until very recently, several years after the incident, that the reason was known to anyone besides the three persons directly concerned in this tragic occurrence of this young lady’s life.” | Menstrestiios Peculiar to America. | London, Glasgow, Manchester and | many other British cities regulate s electric-flash signs, igns and the size of letters per- e in posters. Dover, England, requires a license for all street signs not contained within a window. France and Belgium tax street signs, and Belgium awards prizes for artistie | signs. It is only in America, it seems, that we permit ourselves to be at- tacked on every hand by billboards and poste says the Des Moines Leader, y out of sheer love for the of them.
