C.A PHILLIPS, of Pounding Mill, was arrested at North Tazewell, Wednesday night charged with masquerading as an officer of the law. He failed to show his credentials to Magistrate
PATTON Thursday at a trial in the Court House, and is held in $1,000 bail for appearance at the next term of Tazewell Circuit Court. Otis
TESTER and a number of other young men of North Tazewell, were standing near the water tank Wednesday night, when PHILLPS came up and said he wished he had a gun, that he wanted to search a freight train that was standing on the siding and arrest the hoboes that were having a free ride.
TESTER loaned his artillery to PHILLIPS and the bogus officer chased a negro hobo all over the yards at North Tazewell, but didn't catch him. When
PHILLIPS got back to he water tank he told TESTER that he hated to do it, but he would have to keep the gun as he was an officer of the law. He carried it away with him.
Sergeant THOMPSON arrest PHILLIPS and put him in jail Wednesday night.
