A.,emu.ed EXPERIMENTATION.

DANvILLE, December 27.-Near Hill
Grove, in this county, lives II justice OF the
peace named G. Il. Creach--a very faithful
and efficient officer. On several occasions
he has been forced TO deal out legal punish
ment TO sundry colored individuals. Among
Others colored boy named Robert Jen-
niugs has been frequently before him upon
petty charges, and In each case the magls-
trate executed the law. On one occasion,
while returning home at night, Justice
Creach was fired upon by some unknown
party, but no clew could be gained by
which the man who sought his life could
be identified. Later, his life was a second
time attempted, but the same mystery
shrouded the matter. Saturday night a
third attempt was made upon the life Of
Mr.. Creach, and this time, owing to the
snowfall, footprints left gave the chance
for hunting down the miscresnts, and on
Sunday morning body Of forty men, armed
AID on horseback, took up the pursuit. The
trail lasted for eighteen miles, when the
men caught sight OF the man fleeing across
a Geld. A hot pursuit followed, resulting
In the capture OF the colored boy Robert
Jennings. He showed fight. but was cap
tured unhurt and without injuring any Of
the capturing party. He was securely
bauad with ropes and safely lodged 10 the
Iail at Chatham, the eounty.seat OF Pittsyl.
vania, where he will await his examination.
