Mr.. Skles, the policeman who arrested
Lewis Travis, the desperate negro who
murdered several persons in Georgia, re-
turned some time since to his post Of duty
in this city. He has not yet, so far as we
are informed, received the reward offered
for the arrest of the murderer, but will
probably get it soon. The amounts to
which he is entitled are as follows: $4,000
from the State of Georgia, $500 from the
county of Spaulding, Ga, $500 from New
ton county, in the same State, and $500
from private parties. Mr.. Sixties rendered
the State and the adjoining section of the
country great service, and well deserves
the reward which we doubt not he will
soon receive.
