Upon the complaint Of Edison B. Olds,
before Esq. VIM. L. Rigby.a writ was
issued to Sheriff Miller Tor the arrest Of
Col. Staughlon Bliss The Sheriff with
Ills deputy o. II. Perry, proceeded to Co
iumbas and made the arrest on Tuesday
iast--starting Immediately for this city,
where he arrived about 81 P. NJ Of that
day.
The charge preferred against the Col
is that Of " kidnapping" and is founded
upon the following statute, passed June
10Th, 1886:
- That any person or persons who
shall kidnap or forcibly or fraudulently
carry off or decoy out Of the State any
white person or persons with an intention
of having such pers IN or persons carried
out of the State Unless it he in accord
ance with the laws Thereof and shall be
therenf daily convicted by Indictment in
the Court Of CnmmonPleas in any county
oi this State, shall be deemed guilty Of
a misdemeanor, and shall he confined in
the Penitentisry at hard labor for any
spacs OF time not less than three nor more
than seven years, at the discretion Of the
Court and shall moreover be liable Tor
the costs Of prosecution. v
II will therefore be seen that if Colonel
Bliss is convicted of the fac, charged.
his punishment will lie "hsrd laE or in the
Tenitentiary for Lot less than thee nor
more than s4ven ye ars."

pleaded mot guilty" Oids the prosecut
