THE SHERIFF,S STORY.


In the autumn of '42, on my way
home from the West, / found mysel.
obliged TO put up-for the night at the inn
of small settlement on the Wabash
The day had been dark apd lowry, and
the evening set in with driving Storm
After supper, a goodly company assem-
bled in the bar-room, and storytelling
became the order of the occasion. Among
our number was gray-hared man, whose
name, learned, was Warren Alton. He
was past three score. but his gestures
and vigor betokened all the vigor of mid
die age.
a number of stories had been told, and
finally all eyes we're directed towards
Alton. Some had called his name and
limited that his time had come.
"Gentlemen," he said, IF you choose
to listen. l can give you short story
touching certain criminal that once
had the pleasure of arresting."
OF course we all would listen.
Twenty years ago, or thereabouts. I"
Commenced AIr. Alton. II was Sheriff
of jefferson county. Close by sharp
bend of the Bottom Branch Creek was
located quite settlement, called Jack
son and nine miles distant in a soulhly
direction was the town of Huntsville
The creek, after bending around jack
son settlement, took sweep to the West
and then turned back, crossed the track
about midway between these two places.
Seven miles were through low, dismal
swamp, where the road for a long dis
tance, was a corduroy of oak logs. On
this dark and sunken road, travellers had
been murdered and robbed. Two years
before come in office, as many as six
men had been found by the wayside in
thai swamp. After became Sheriff, the
trouble was renewed, and went down
I'd Huntsville 10 look into the matter.
found one Of my deputies there-a
fair, honorable man, named Watson
He told me every exertion had been
made to apprehend the perpetrators Of
the murders, but without effect. Ia facl
the officers had not yet been able TO fix
suspicion.
reached Huntsville in the evening,
aud on the following morning / rode
down with Watson upon the corduroy
road. The place WAS truly dismal and
dark enough. The track had been cul
through thick, tangled, matted growth
cypress, cottonwood and running vines
and in many places the logs had sunk Sc
far that the mud and water flowed over
them. And this piece Of swamp by the
road, was seven miles in extent. About
half through we came TO bridge tha

as we usually see. but sunken mass o.

long. So tod him / was not going 10
stop at ALL had long road TO travel,
and was in a hurry. Whether be was
pleased with this or not, / could not deter
mine. ] paid for dinner for myself and
horse, and got away as quickly as pos
sible, and rode post haste to Huntsville.
Watson opened his eyes with astonish-
ment when told him whal had dis.
covered but be did nns Opposes my be-
lief. The whole. as l opened il 10 him
in regular sequence, struck directly 10 his
understanding and be only wondered
that he had not thought Of something Of
that kind before. He was ready to act
with me, and our plans were soon laid.
He went out and engaged three stout
men 10 accompany as, two Of whom were
constabies, and after tea the whole par
ty set forth on our way to Jackson.
We reached the inn little after dark.
Watson and one of the conslables went
10 the stable and secured John Boone.
while I went into the house and arrested
Leman Stoker. The latter, as intimat-
ed, was a powerful fellow, and came
very near giving US trouble 4; but a blow
from the butt Of one Of my heavy pistols
rednced his strength somewhat, and af-
ter that he was easily secured.
Then we commenced to search The
house. We hunted high and low, and
we had plenty of interested people to
help US. Partition walls were torn down,
and floors ripped up. we found the
property Of the murdered man in a secret
locker and in tank o. water, away in
one corner of the cellar, We found LOT
of bloody bedclothes. We had evidence
enough and the prisoners were carried
to the county jail that very night.
On the next day John Boone was dy.
ing. He had been sick with cOnsump-
tion for long time, and during his strug-
gle with Watson on the night before, his
strength had completely failed him
When he kneSt.. he could not live. he
declared that be would. make a clean
breast of it. am inclined to think, how
ever, that he hoped bis confession might
benefit him in case be should by any pos
sible means recover.
This confession was just what had
expected He and Lamar Stoker had
committed the murders-Kad done the
killing in the house, and then conveyed
the bodies, by way of the creek, TO the
road in the swamp, and where the muir
dered men had horses they had been ta-
ken out of the stable by back way, sad
died, and turned loose in the road: The
whole plan had been adrOilly contriyed,
and, for TOO long had been successfully
executed.
John Boone died within three hours
after his confession had been made bat
Lamar Stoker lived until his breath was
stopped by the rope Of the hangman.

waa-a large proportion of Uncle Sans

no longer any apprehension OE guerril-

and after getting fairly under way, the
passengers, catching the spirit Of the
lovely morn, addressed themselves to the
task of making time pass of pleasantly
