Arrest of Murderer In Lauderdale
County.


Four weeks ago Detective Arnold, of
Cairo, Illinois, came TO Ripley, Lauderdale
county, Tenn, IN search of a man named
John Kline, who had committed murder IN
Missouri. Learning Kline was living near
Double Bridges, Lauderdale county, Arnold
offered Sheriff Griggs large sum Of money
to arrest and carry the fugitive to Missouri,
which offer in the absence of a requsiition
from the Governor of the last named State
was declined. A few days ago the Iequisi-
ton was received, whereupon Sheriff
Griggs and Constable Otment arrested
Kline with whom ttov proceeded TO New
Madrid, where it is salG the murder wts
committed. Near this place Kline said that
about eighteen months ago he and two
other men fired at horse thief, who tried
to escape from them; since then he learned
the dead body of the thief had been found
not far from the place where they fired.
This story, however, it seems was q mere
fabrication, for no sooner had the sheriff and
constable arrived at New Madrid with
Kline, and when the citizens learned of the
latter's presence there intense excl, ement
was caused and much Indignation expressed
against the prisoner, whose guilt, It is said,
is beyond doubt, and In relation TO which
we have the following facts: About eiah.
teen months ago Kline was severely cha. :
tised by man named John Scarlet, for in
terfering with his domestic relations.
Swearing out a warrant, Kline, with two
friends, went and arrested Scarlet at his
home. After fierce dispute between
Scarlet and bis wife, who rejoiced at her
husbands arrest, Kline and his men left
the house with their prisoner zhose hodv
was found several days afterwards tied TO
tree, mutilated in a shocking and barbarous
manner and riddled with bullets. KliIe
and the other two men were arrested and
the latter being jailed, subsequently, es-
capped. Kline being released on bail, fed
from Missouri and sought concealment of
bis crime among strangers. Although pos
sessing money, it is thought bis life will
pay the penalty of murder which was so
atrocious and unprovoked by his victim.

The Tobaceo 'TTade OF Nashville

1t is singular but interesting fact that
Louisville merchants send to Nashville to
buy tobacco. 1t Is still more singular and
interesting, that these merchants can afford
to buy the weed. psy transportation to
Louisville, and sell again to points south of
this, the purchasers paying transportation
upon their purchases at Louisville. Pass
ing the leading tobacco mart of this city,
the we'll and favorably known house OF
Geo. F. Akers, College street, yesterday,
We observed large number of boxes leav-
ing bis house, marked to leading Louisville
houses. 1t is gratifying to know that the
enterprise of Col. Akers commands the
trade of our sister city of Louisvill but
the fact should satisfy the merchants and
traders south and southwest Of Nashyille,
that as a point for the tobacco trade, no
one need pass our city.

Bad Luck to the Bag with a Role at

Yesterday morning Thomas Chiffon,
Mayor of Dog Town, espied negro man
perambulating the streets Of bis municipal
kingdom with a huge bag on his back.
Through hole in this sack the heel Of a
ne v boot protruded like the young of Mar
supials when greeted by the exhilarant sun
beam Of the morning. Becoming suspic-
ious he halted the wayfarer, who objec,ed
to this interference inasmuch as bag was
bag as well as pouch. Telling him he
took the law in bis ewn hands when thieves
prowled his domain, Mayor Chiffon arrest
ed the colored man, who said 81 will pouch
up no such afrront." Upon examining the
bag there were found eleven pairs ofboots,
which were stolen by the negro, whose
name is Jacob Daniels, from the Decatur
depot, where they had been sent for ship
ment by D. We'll of this city. Daniels is
in the workhouse and will be tried to-mor-
row. BE says be sold one pair TO coored
friend, the case consisting of twelve pairs
in all. On his person was found loaded
pistol and copper watch, dangerous wea-
pons, though they did lot deter Mayor
Chiffon from bringing him to the city.

Clerks Office in the courthouse, and in so
doing broke the catch from the inside Of

This is the second similar attempt TO enter

purpose actuating the thief. Once gaining
entrance to the Criminal Court Clerks

Let immediate measures be taken to render

the sale OF stolen Horses.
Yesterday morning Detectives Larry
Ryan and Watson walked up to the Square
where a crowd was assembled to witness
the auction sale of fine bay horse, whose
owner was colored man. When bid of
$50 had been made and no response Ct
''goiDg," "going," could be had to increase
this amount, the detectives thought it
would not be right for an excellent animal,
as this subject of public vendition appeared,
to be sold at such a small sum. Accord
ingly they interrupted the sale, seized the
beast and took possession of the money
wanting owner, whom they charged with
having stolen the animal. Realizing the
truth of the charge the negro, whose name
is William Coffin, confessed that he had
stolen the horse Friday morning from
colored friend named Howard Martin, at
Increase, Warren county, and ridden it to
this city. Coffin was carried before jus
tice Cassetty, and in default of $1,000 bail
was committed to await trial the 18th inst.
