day, for the purpose Of swearing out a
warrant for the ARE st of one S. Z. Dorsay
who h AS been irregular I'm his conduct,
about the premises Of the former. He al
ieges that Dorsey. who is familiarly known
as Punk" entered his dwelling on las,
Monday night, with the intention to ccm-
NIT larceny. and that the said Dorsey
broke through q window in order TO get
out of his house. Mr.. Taylor's father. in-law,
w. B. Francis was engaged Monday
night in keeping up fire i'm Mr. Taylor's
greenhouse. Now, it SO happens that the
latter's dwelling stands near the green
house, and during tie night MIR. Francis
heard noise in the house and went in To
SEE what was the mater. He came out
without finding any one, but thought he
found evidence of an intruder, and know
ing that considerable sum of money was
stored away in q mug in washsiand, he
took the money Ito Mr.. Taylor room.
He was just leaving the house when he
heard a crash in the rear, and ran around
the corner to see what caused il, but CANT
in contact with the man he had
been looking for. They both started L"
run out in opposite directions, when MIR.

volv-r. turned loose Oh the other man
Mr.. Taylor expresses the opinion that
Dorsey is shot, but is not disposed to TT.
late anything more than what is in the

brought back from Tex, IS where il IL
thought he now is, that soms interesting
Developments would be mIIe i'm the pro.
