About The Streets

"Shine" Walker did not long enjoy his release from the Detroit house of correction. Discharged from there April 26, after serving a sentence of 65 days for stealing some hams, he on Saturday night went to his home where he f onnd his wife engaged in building a fire, and his nasfcy viudictive tempor speedily fouud vent. Grasping her by the hair he pulled her over backwards aad stamped on her face. Before he could be arrested for this assault and battery he had made his esoape from the city. Deputy Wood went after him and traveled as far as Battle Creek. Not nding him there he returned to Jackon, where he arrested Walker at 2 'clock on Tuesday morning and srought him back to the city. On Wednesday morning Walker had his rial before Justice Pond and was senenced to 90 days at the Detroit house f correction. It was after the trial and as Deputy Wood was taking "Shine" down to ail, that Wood and he had a deoidedly xciting time. They had arrived at the oor of the jail, when Walker, who ïad not been handcuffed on account of lis apparent willingness to go along with the offlcer, Baid, "Good bye, Mr. Vood, I guess I don't want to go to the workhouse this time." Wood made ome laughing answer to this remark nd proceeded to open the door, when Valker made a dart for liberty, and cooted through the big gate of the jail ard into the wood market. Wood alled to him. to stop, and when he id not do so, flred a shot in the air and followed after him Half way across the loc and just as Walker was going round the corner of the armory Wood again flred, this time with more effect, as the bullet struok Walker in he right hip and swerved him around. He did not stop, however, but ran on down W. Huron st. to Rohde's coal yard, went the whole length of it, then north across the Ann Arbor Bailroad track into the ravine, vhere he feil head over heels into the ditch, the nerves of his leg being stunued so that he could not control the limb. Gathering himself up he ran back across lots to Huron st. , where he finally bid ín the hay mow of astable. All this time Wood followed after lis man and wheu he got to the stable ie frightened "Shiue" out of his hidng place by telling hirn he wonld fill it with bullets. When Walker made his appearance he veas dripping with water and prespiration. "Don't hort me, Mr. Wood, " he said, "see that blood? I'm bleediDg ' now." "No, Shine, " said Wood, "that's not blood, ihat's sweat. " An examination showed that the bullet, whioh was flred from a ligbt pistol, had struck a photograph and some papers in the negro's bip pocket, and while it had ruined the photo had not hurt Walker. Sheriff Judson took Walker to Detroit at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning, where he will have a chance f or 90 day s to teil his f ello w prisoners of "how he got shot in an attempt toget away froni the offlcers. " In tho meantime it is fair to suppose that Mrs. Walker will continue her suit for divorce against her brutal, litle husband, which was discontinued in the circuit court a week ago Monday morning.
