Bad Joe Gordon
An Adrián dispatch of Nov. 27, to the Free Press, runs as follows' "Joe Gordon, a colored chiraney sweep from Ypsilanti, has been in the city for a few days, and last night attempted to rob a young ma named Sauter. He was in the saloon where Sauter works, and saw him paid off. Later Sauter went over to Gilliland's factory to telephone for a physician and on his return the darkey held him up. Sauter got away and the negro chased him some distance, but failing to overtake him walked off towards the Wabash depot. The sheriff was notified and a deputy and a night policeman found Gordon at the depot. When the officer laid hands on him for arrest he bmke away and made an effort to draw a revolver, but he was seized and overpowered, but managed to get his revolver from his pocket. The deputy drew his revolver and got the drop on him, however, and he surrendered and was taken to jail."
