Tuesday last, the 18th inst, the store-house of
Mr.. G. W. S. Hull, at Mcdowell Highland

destroyed by fire.
Mr. Hull is worthy young man who has not

HORSE THIEF TURNED LOOSE Upon THE

HORSE THIEF TURNED LOOSE Upon THE
PEOPLE. On last Sunday the notorious horse
thief, Rothwell, who was captured in this
place, riding stolen horse, was turned loose
upon the country to commit similar thefts upon
the people. We believe the reason ASST gned
for this is that no one appeared against him
within ten days after his arrest, his brother,
from whom he had stolen the horse, refusing
to prosecute him We think this high
handed move in any officer Of the law. He
was arrested here with stolen property, and
acknowledged that it was stolen, and lnforma-
ton had been received here that he was no
torious horse-thief-had, perhaps, stolen as
many horses as the notorious Beard. We do
not know by what process he was liberated,
but we think it great outrage to have turned
such scoundrel loose upon the people again
We like the way they do horse-thieves In Au-
gusa Swing few more Of them to a tree
and there will be less stealing.
