COunferfeifers Arrested.
From the Knoxville Chronicle.l
Yesterday, Colonel Bauer, the United
States detective, well known la this
city, arrived here with a man named
John Evans, from Whitley county, Ken
lucky, against whom an Indictment is
pending in the United States circuit
court for dealing in counterfeit money
by the wholesale. From Colonel Bauer
We learn that after he LEFT this place he
proceeded 10 Kentucky in search Of this
and one other man, namely, Il. r Nor
gan, he being IN p session Of infOrma-
ticn sufficient, in his opinion, of crimi-
mating them. His first movement was
to locate them, which he had some
trouble to do, as they both kept away
from then homes during the sitting of
the United States circuit courts at Louis
Vile and COviugton, Kentucky, it be-
ing in session there about the same time
court was held in this city. Colonel
Bauer having discovered their wherea-
bouts, returned to Louisville and provid-
ed himself with the necessary papers,
and accompanied by deputy-marshal
from Kentucky, proceeded to Whitley
county, where these two men were en-
gagged in business, and early one morn
ing introduced themselves to their
notice, telling that they were wanted.
John (dtj0s jack Evans is miller by
occupation, aud was then engaged in
running what is called the Loudon
mills, and is charged with dealing large
ly in the "queer," having supplied
some of the East Tennessee dealers, and
while thus engaged sold Detective Dyer
quantity. A true bill was found
against him by the grand jury at the
last term of the United States court. He
was brought here yesterday and turned
over to the jaiiOr, for the want Of ten
thousand dollars bail. r. r. Morgan, a
merchant by occupation, kept q store
county, and is said to be one of the lead |
ers, or wholesale dealers in the ''queer,"
having sold it by the thousand. 1t is
said that he made regular trips through !
out East Tennessee, Virginia and North |
Carolina, supplying all the minor deal !
ers with any quantity they might desire. |
He had also dealt largely in toe stuff in |
his own State, hence it was not neces- |
sary to bring him to Knoxville for trial /!
He was taken to Louisville, Kentucky, /
and there gave bond in the sum of ten /
thousand dollars for his appearance be-
fore the next term OF the United States |
circuit court. Evans, the prisoner |
brought here by Colonel Bauer and the
deputy-marshal, says he feels confident /
that he can also give bond, but at last |
accounts no security had appeared, and /
Sheriff Gossett will take care of him |
until his friends arrive, if they arrive at
all.
Look out for Damages.
From the Ripton (MiSs.) Advertiser.l
The Vicksburg Herald says that the /
wives Of dissipated men in this State |
are beginning to avail themselves of
the advantages of the new liquor law. |
Mrs. Wetzell, of Canton, has recently |
introduced a suit against the Merchants'
Exchange for having sold liquor to her
husband contrary to her request, and /
the mayor sustained her by closing the
house as a nuisance. This should be a |
warning to bar-keepeTs not to sell intox. /
icating drinks to all who may desire to /
purchase. They must remember that /
the law says that they are responsible /
for whatever damage or injury may re-
suit from the use of the liquors they /
thus sell.
