The gloomy charge of petit larceny which hung over Col. Bud Derrickson last night was lifted by the Mayor this morning in the presence of an intensely interested congregation of color. Prosecutor Moffett appeared for the State and Col. Derrickson championed his own cause, examining the witnesses with a skill seldom witnessed. It could not be proved that Bud stole the flesh scrapers from Gen. Eph Wheeler and so Bud was triumphantly acquitted. The testimony was somewhat contradictory but when the immaculate and unimpeachable Edward Hatchell, DD went on the stand and gave testimony in behalf of Bud that settled it. Gen. Wheeler feels pretty tough over the affair, especially as he was fined for assault and thinks that five years in the pen would have been the proper dose for the blushing and beautiful Bud. Bud’s defense was that the razors were his and that he had merely pawned them to Eph. Now to overflow Eph’s cup of sorrow he threatens to have him jerked up before a Justice for keeping a pawn shop without a license.

Saturday night there was a card party at the Derrickson home and at the function one of the Derrickson girls claimed she was insulted by one of the card players, a big light complexioned negro by the name of Henry Jones. Son Derrickson came up town and swore out an affidavit for the fellow, but failed to show up to go with the police to identify the man and the case was accordingly dismissed without any arrests being made.

Wm. McDaniel is a log hauler, who up to last Saturday was employed by the Crawfordsville Lumber company and lived near the Junction. William is what is known as a religious crank and has a passion for preaching. For several years past he has made a practice of holding pray meetings in the house of his friends and has gained the appellation of “Preacher McDaniel.” One night last week he locked horns before a large and select audience in the colored ME Church with Bud Derrickson on the question “Is marriage a failure?” and supported the negative side of the question. Brother Derrickson had considerably the best of the argument, and judging from what followed, entirely converted his antagonist into the belief that single blessedness was the happiest state of man for last Saturday night Preacher McDaniel skipped out, leaving a wife and six small children in very destitute circumstances and at the mercies of a cold, cruel world. Last week he disposed of his team, wagon and other stable accoutrements and very naturally took the proceeds with him. His destination and cause for his departure are wholly unknown, but should he ever return he ought to be treated to a liberal coal of tar and feathers.

Some time since Bud Derickson, a gentleman of color, was fined before Justice Ramsey for assault and battery. His fine was stayed and Bud released. Wednesday the time for its pay expired and the fine remaining unpaid Constable Bias armed with the authority of the law and a large club set out to conduct Bud to jail. The Derickson faction couldn’t see it exactly that way however and help had to be called in to put down the insurrection which assumed formidable proportions. The insurgents under generalissimo Mrs. Bud Derickson conducted a most aggressive campaign, completely routing Bias and the law. But reinforcement at length arrived and Bud now looks at the new moon through the bars.

Lillie Derrickson donated $1 and costs, amounting to $6.40 for assault & battery.
Bud Derickson, the well known colored barber, left Crawfordsville a few weeks ago and settled in Covington. He seems to be decidedly settled, too for he is now in the body of Fountain County’s bastille with a penitentiary sentence staring him in the face. Bud is charge with opening other people’s mail, reaping a cash harvest therefrom. This was a bad habit bud got into in that wicked town and will bring all the grief who monkey with it.
