On Monday of this week. a colOred youth
named JOS Roberts was arrested by officer
" nerley on charge of carving concealed
weapons preferred by Mr.. Thomas Nipple.
In hearing had before Esquire Kinllead, it
was established that bad blood had existed
between the two for some time previous,
growing out of circumstances not necessary
to enumerate, and that a climax was reached
on the day named. No blows were passed,
but IN the midst of a wOrdy alteration Joe
whipped out pistol and purpOSed to blow
out the brains Of Nipple When first ques-
toned by the Squire, Joe positively denied
having had pistol in his possession; but
when this fact was proven against him, he
declared that it wasn't loaded, and even If
il had been, the lock was in such condition
that it could not be discharged. He only
wanted to scare Nipple. The case was
thought to be hardly of the magnitude which
would justify the binding over of the defend
ant to answer at Court, and so he was dis
charged, with warning given that if he came
mp again for a similar iufTlction of the laws
he would be severely dealt with The costs
were paid by Joe's aunt, a genteel lady of
color.

Thought to have raised rumpuS in the family
circle with his fists. The three were put in a
cell together, and their united strength seems
to have been such that some time last Mon
day night they succeeded in forcing their
way through the wall into the corridor. The
hole cut through the solid wall is large enough
to afford egreSs to the largest man, and was
made with a bit of hard wood. When they
reached the corridor, they found yet couple
more walls to dig through before they could
achieve their liberty, and their uncOmpietcd
task was broken in on by the early CIping
visit of Turnkey Mcnamara. That gentle
man found the three worthless in bed, seem
ingly fast asleep and apparently ignorant of
how the cell could have beeu damaged in
such manner unless ii was struck by light
ming during the night. They were assigned
TO separate cells, and no more trouble from
them IS apprehendcd. Hawker is an old Of

was sent by Judge Dean to the Western
