Last night about 8:30 o'clock when fair Luna was still riding behind the screen of clouds, Uncle Mose Daniel, an old colored man who lives on Iron Ore Creek, laid a bundle of coffee and a chicken down on the Union Depot platform and rolled up his sleeves determined to show the crowd of hoodlums who infest the depot, that "he warn't going to be pestered wid none of dar sass" While Uncle Mose was thus occupied one of the miscreants grabbed the chicken and ran.  His rooster-ship put forth one yell that awakened Uncle Mose and offended dignity was swallowed up in the idea he was about to lose a Sunday dinner.  Then began a race for life.  The old fellow's feet were far more nimble than his frosty hair would indicate and he took the chicken and chap both in.  The jeering was resumed again, but Uncle Mose didn't lay articles down anymore.

A Painful Bruise
Last night an Irishman by the name of Mat Gammon while under the influence of liquor, started to walk to Denison. He got along all right until he reached the small culvert at the crossing of Throckmorton Street. He missed his balance, tumbled off into the bed of the ravine, which is about ten feet below the bridge ties. His face was pretty badly skinned but his injuries are not serious.
