He was at the home of John Urish, west of the city, and his threatening altitude and with deadly weapon frightened the children badly. A phone message was sent the sheriff of the actions of the strange negro, so im medialely and in the afternoon the sheriff with his trusty shotgun and belt full of shells, motored out to the Urish place and arrest ed the colored outlaw.
