For M-veral nights past the re-i-dent.- of the west portion of tiie city hav- been reporting the fact that a m gro has been teen prowling around over that section of the city and in each ca-e it has been after nightfall that the gentleman of color lias made his appearance. It was a few nights ago that the man was first noticed lurking around over the residence part of the city and since that time several parties "nave reported to have seen the party but none of them have had a "close up." of the supposed negro and whether it is a colored man or some one blacked up i not fully determ ined. There has been no n?gro resi dents of the city for several years and if the person prowling over the resident portion of the city is a real negro be sure keeps out of sight during th" daylight. The men of the part of the town where the negro selects hi- route for the evening walks are on the lookout for him ind threaten if he is caught around niiv of the homes that there will be no further need as to inquiries r. to his identity. The police tire also en the Liokout for th man and will round htm up if anyone seeing the man makes a report of the occur rence soon enough for them to reach the fecne before he seeks his hilling tdace.
