V"!:?n 'searched it was found that
he had concealed weapons, and by
reason of the matter cf the killing
f the taxi driver, at Ashland in a
case of attempting to arrest some
ckado runners seme two weeks
since, the plia.-e of the business
wherein a man engaged in thi3
buc.ine.-.F. carries concealed weapons,
is being taken into corisideration as
well. While the statutes provides
th-jit a man who ni?r be encaged in
a business which naturally, would
bp conf'dered to be dangerous. Is
allowed to carry arms, does not
ncces?arilv warrant a man who is
engaged in some business that is il
legal, in going armed, instead he
has committed a double. offense,
when he ha3 eiir-ed In. the .traffic
and then goes armed to protect him
self from arrest. The hundred dol
lars and fifteen costs -which was
assise;! him in addition to the fine
for the ether offense, the loss of his
goo,ls. and the car also which was
worth mere than a thousand and a
half dollar';, will nearly place his
loss for the offense, at the sum of
.'2.000.00. a nearly princely salary,
or what would be so considered a
fhert time since. The business
v.-':n!d have to offer pretty fair re
muneration to compensate, for such

long since the throat succumbed to
treatment, and has been getting
well. But recently the trouble de
veloped in the stomach, which was

posed to have been beneficial, but
