THE thief who stole Col. Jno. W.
Nelms' horse and mule, was captured i'll
Atlanta while trying to sell the animals.
Sheriff Coryell interviewed him and be-
lieved him to be the same negro who bur-
glarized Mr.. p V. Kolb's house, and who
escaped from Marshal Banks. To be fully
satisfied on this point Marshal Banks went
to Atlanta on Thursday and identified the
negro as the same one. He was brought to
Marietta on Friday and was tried before
Judge Campbell There was sufficient evil
dence to convict, and he was bound over in

but while depredating in Cobb he said it
was Lawrence He is safe for while. He
seemed determined to break into the chain
gang, and will have succeeded when No

have escaped that night. Sheriff Coryell,
of Cobb county, upon searching him, found
several saws, knives, ETC., sewed up in his
clothing and he has taken the precautions

a new suit of clothes, from hat to shoes on
him, Stacking him, and claiming him
to the floor This enterprising horse thief
evidently expected to find accommodations
| in some jail and he went prepared to saw
his way out If he had devoted as much
energy and enterprise to some honest bust
ness as he has in being horse thief and
Jail breaker, he would have been successful
and recognized as good citizen. AS it is,
he is likely to work series of years as a
convict in the chain gang for nothing.
Mr.. B. ]. Handy, who lives several
miles from town, has been adding another
story to his residence. The raiters had
