 Flank Mccullough, young man who has been resident of this place for the last eight months was arrested last Saturday for displaying pistol too freely while under the influence of whisky. Our Marshal took his pistol away from him and gave him chance to go home, as he hated to arrest him, but instead of going home he immedi- ately procured another one, and as he seemed like be was going to make use of it he was arrested and placed under guard. He succeeded in giving bond for his appearance on last Monday, and was released. But on Sunday evening he and two other young men hired MT. Roberts 3-seated hack aud took three young ladies down to Galla Rock to view the river. Everyone seemed to enjoy the ride very much, but on the way back they were greatly surprised to see MT. Mccullough jump out and go in a different direction, leaving them to think what they pleased about it. Dr. J. H. Potts went on his bond and he thinks probably he will overhaul the gentleman before he finally leaves the country. .-ff fsa &Ft &
