about | ! miles from Wilmington, in this

Gus to his being shot, took one of Ru,her-
ford's horses from his stable, clandestinely.
Rutherford pursued, and in company with
Mr.. Althouse, Of Wilmington, founi him
about four miles above Wilmington. on Fork

in company with him first, aud that when he
discovered Rutherford he made an attempt
TO escape, but was prevented from doing so
by Mr.. AlthouSc until Rutherford came up,
when they bound him in order to take him
to Wilmington for trial. Rutherford, how
ever, had M !, gal process. Hurley regret

he en'reated Rutherford to LEI him 70, who
refused doing SO, when he gave him knife
so that nc might loosen himself when n ia
vorable opportunity occurred. Passing by
thicket which was but few rods in cir
cunlerence, he cut himself loose and fed,
but just as he was entering the bushes, Ru.

Hurley, il is said, then stopped running,
when Rutherford fired another pistol which
