SHOT BOTTLE OF WHISKY.

Detective Bradley Does Valiant
Service at the Union Depot.

Charles Brown of Bon Air, Tenn., was saved the loss of his grip containing $5,000 in cash last night through the agility of Station Master John Wallenstrom and Detective D. C. Bradley, who chased the thief under and over trains until he dropped his plunder. Bradley fired one shot which shattered a quart bottle of whisky, also the property of Brown, which the thief had taken.

Brown is a mine owner in Tennessee. He sold some of his properties there and made some investments in Colorado gold mines. He had $5,000 in currency which he intends to invest. He placed his grip, a parcel containing some laundry and a bottle of whisky by one of the supports of the train shed. The thief escaped.
