JIM BRAINARD.


A Notorious Desperate Arrested
and jagged.
A warrant for the arrest of James
Brainard. charged with assault with
intent to kill one Nollett, ar
rived from Amazonia yesterday
morning, and in less than a half an
hour after its receipt, Constable Sui
livan had the prisoner in durance
vile. The assault, with which Brain
ard is charged, was made on Millard's
farm, some distance north Of this
city, and had it not been for the time
ly interference Of outsiders, Nollett
doubtless would have been killed.
Brainard is q desperate character.
One of his very recent exploits was
TO inform the gang Of horse thieves,
quartered on the Moore farm, near
Lake station, of the contemplated
raid of the authorities.-Gazette.
James Brainard is an old offender
He was Indicted in onr county about
three years ago, for assault with in.
tent to kill one Irving, and was tried
and convicted and served his sentences

Something New.

The Enoch Arden Combination Is bill

one and our citizens who may attend It
will have no reason to regret going. We
clip the following from the Carrollton
Democrat ol June End:
THE ENoCiI ARDEN COMBINATION.
We cannot be accused of writing for
pay" when we say lew words IN eulo-
Ky of q troupe who have closed their
season and left town The above theat-
rical company Is certainly the best which
has ever visited our town. The plays
they placed before our people were of a
high moral tone, and each one inculca.
ted valuable moral lesson. Not only
that, but the performers were all in their
private actions, ladies' and gentlemen,
whom It would be credit to associate
with 10 any walk of life. Not only that.
but they are all possessed OF talent IN
their psyeesion far beyond that of the
averaes. ssto might mention particu-
larly Miss Nellie Drury, who 10 certain
ly one Of the most versatile and merito-
rious actresses we have ever witnessed.
1t would be useless to name her in con-
nection with any particular "part." as
she did well in all the parts she took.
in drama or comedy. Miss Matte Ver-
non was superb in the part of the blind
girl in "The Two Orphans" We do
not believe she could be excelled.
Mr.. W. V. Breyer is an actor of great
merit, and perfect gentleman. He too
was good in everything and poor in
nothing. He is man OF cultme and a
natural actor. We have not room to
mention all the company, but We can
not refrain from saying word in praise
Of Mr.. +. b. Marden, who took the role
of "Hawkshaw," in 1.-THE Ticket OF
Leave Man." We shall always remem-
ber him in that character, and will he
liable to call him by that name, should
we ever meet him again. This troupe
left on Monday night to give a season OF
six nights at Lexington. They had
good houses here, considering they fol-
lowed another company which had
played week.

Thompson, Broughton and Klein
Arrested.
Our readers doubtless remember
the attempt to capture four outlaws
below st. Joseph, about the Goth of
last month and the fatal wounding of
young Sullivan Of st. Joseph, and the
wounding Of Deputy Sheriff Young,
Of this county, the capture of two of
the outlaws and the escape of the 9th
cr three - Klein, Thompson and
Broughton. These two last named
were arrested in Southwest Missouri,
a few days ago and safely lodged in
the Buchanan county jail. Great
credit is due to Marshal Buzard, OF
St, Joseph aud Sheriff Patrie, OF
Washington county, for their arrest.

Frank Klein was also captured a

ed to be the fifth that was engaged at
the time Of the shooting of Young
and Sullivan. We hope the Sheriff OF
Buchanan, will keep these dcspera.

Fourth OF July.

That the citizens of Andrew coun-
ty are going to have grand celebra-
tion at Savannah, OH the 4th of July,
is fixed fact; and judging from the
action that has already been had, and
the persons that are taking an inter.
est in the matter, we predict ole OF
the grandest times that the people
ever experienced in this county. There
has already been raised two or three
hundred dollars towards defraying
the necessary expenses, and this
amount was raised in about two
days.
