An instance of government, red tape,
by which deserving man is easy deprived
of what is rightfully his due may be found
in the Harry McGOwan case Two years
ago last February this man risked his life
to save the steam tug Electra and succeeded
in bringing her safe to land, and has not
vet received any money for what he did.
A Washington attorney was in Boonyille
last week taking dispositions in the matter

HOW 1T WAS DONE.
The capture of Marion Hedgepelte, the
escaped jail-bird, has already been chron.
icled, but not the manner in which it was
effected. One night last week q horse was
stolen in Cooper county, near Pisgah.
The owner, one Bridge Poe, in company
with neighbor, tracked the thief to Bar
rett's store, Morgan county, where he had
stopped. They offered reward of
twenty dollars for his capture, and
that night two young men of the
ldlu wall LOT ulm ~ tile
village store. Sure enough he came riding
up and taking pistol from his hip pocket
he let the ivory handle glitter a moment
in the eyes Of the watchers, then showed it
down into his pants pocket. Observing the
two sitting in front of the store he walked
up 20 them and asked for water. One of;them
started with him to get water but had
only gone short distance when Hedgs-
peth turning saw the other was following.
He was drawing his revolver when the nan
at his side felled him with blow from his
fist and be was handcufied and brought to
Boonville. He is now good for q long
term in the pen.
