The officers found Young Kigcr on
Wednesday afternoon at the residence OF
his grandfather, Robert Jackson, about
two miles from Franklin, COShocton coun-
ty, Ohio. They went 10 CoShocton by
rail, and learning there OF Mr., Jacksons
place OF residence. droveover to his house.
They met Kiger coming down path to
the we'll, in his shirt sleeves, aud carrying a
dipper with which ne intended getting q
drink. Upon seeing the officers he ex.
pressed no surprise and made no attempt
to escape, saying that he wonld 90 with

formed simply remarked that he did not
know it. He went at once to the house

that he had to so. The old lady asked him
il he had got into trouble, and he said that
he hSd, and would he obliged 10 go home.
Nothing further was said by either, and
the officers Immediately left for COshoCton

fornlality OF reQuiSition. but an uneS-
Pected obstacle presenteditself. The Mayor
OF the town refused to permit the prisoner
10 be taken away without q reQuisition.
At this stage of the proceedings Sheriff

asking him TO at once communicate with
the Mayor OF CoShocton, and ask him to
dispense with the reQuiSition. Governor

to hold on to his prisoner. Captain Smith
then telegraphed TO the Governor, explain
ing that the boy was willingt to 50 without
the papers, wheseupOn His Excellency
