his work and behaved himself well, up

horse along Elm street which was
stolen from him several months ago
Loheustein took charge Of the anil
NAL, and called officer Clements, who
arrested the negro. The officer had
proceeded but a short distance with his
prisoner when the latter broke and ran
away, escaping for the time. Yester-
day Deputy Sheriff Spencer saw the
same negro on horseback passing
along the square and hating him
made him dismount. He was taken
before Justice Mcclure and gave his
name as Sam Harris. Sam had ex-
pected to be arrested, and had brought
q number of negroes from the neigh
borhood to prove that the animal
was his property and that he
had owned him for several
years. In the face OF such overwhelm-
ing testimony the justice released
