cripple the Government in it, power to protect
the right of the freedmen by the adoption of
the narrow notions of State rights which gov

IN 1860 sought to overthrow tile Government,
governed by the self-same men or their lineal
descendants, and the same elements which con-

bors also were alarmed and began searching,
which has been continued thus far night and day,
The creek has been dragged by places searched
for miles around, but as yet no clue has been
found.
The generally accepted theory is, that, ss a
light spring wagon with top cover wasseeu on the
road a few minutes after him, going in the same
direction, he was induced to get In and was gag

Parties have dragged the Browning dam and
have secured the surrounding country as far as

ming. Nick has been driving a peculiar team
through this county for some two or three years
gathering garbage, bones, old junk, etc. and it
has been very questionable as to where he got his
chickens, eggs and sloats for some time. He has
been keeping bachelors hall in a shanty at the
Stabler stone yard east end Of town, until declared
a nuisance. His partner has been with him but a
few months. 1t is said that marks Of bloo4 were
found upon the wagon, and the fact that they
painted the wagon black on Tuesday and loaded

looks a little suspicious. Every effort is being
made to establish their guilt or innocence,
