A PAIR OF DECATUR BOOBIES.A 1'onple of Nm*k«r ToukIin Come to Orlef In tiRlnuUnr.The excursion from Decatur yesterday among others brought to this city a gang ! of would be toughs from Macon county’s little capital. One of these by the name of Mallard, a machinist. anlt;l another named Dale, a baker, will have occasion to remember their visit. With a gang of friends they filled up on Galantine whisky and beer and then commenced to amuse themselves by throwing empty beer kegs into the street and rolling a broken telephone pole into the driveway. Officer “Peggy” Smith happened along about that time, and alter making the rowdies undo the mischief they had accomplished, ordered them to go about their business quietly. This they promised to do. Some t ine after the officer was called to quell a disturbance in a West Side bagnio. Here he found the Decatur gang running a high hand and doing about as they pleased. He arrested a pair of the loadest and smartest of the gang. They resisted and the officer banged their heads together and made them walk Spanish along the alley, out on the street to jail. This couple were the ones referred to above. By putting up their watches they saved themselves the unpleasant-nefs of being locked up over Sunday. They struck a bee line for the depot and took the tiret train out of town. Their watches are for sale.
