Audubon and Cass counties seem to be
the scene of most of the troubles,
Two fellow 8 one named Lon Reynolds

been arrested for stealing post timber
from DIR. Ballard. Martin sckpow-
lodges his guilt, and says he has stolen

and citizens a lively chase, bat was
finally brought down. The details are
thus given by The Atlantic Democrat:
Upon the intimation of citizsn of
Benton township, made In Extra, to
the effect that Kuowlton was posted
on tho Dr.. Ballard robbery, of Jan
uary Last, a party started out from
that tuwn Monday morning at 1:3O q.
m to find him. The party consisted
Of Lawyer Griggs, Andrews, Crane,
and others. The search was continued
until about nine O'Clock the same
morning, when they stopped at Wal
ter Marsh's to recruit up. While
there a man named Strait drove up to
the house and stopped. One Of the
party went out and talked with him for
a few moments, when a horse and rider
appeared, andupon comingu up within q
hundred yards 1t was discovered to
be Frank Brown. At this distance

revolver off In all directions. At
this n of the party took up a shot

all hazard. When he was within a
short distance of the bsn1it, he or
dered him to halt, bat Brown was not
ready to halt and started of on a run.
Two charges from the gun we're sent
after him, the last one striking him in
the head, causing q slight scalp wound.
At this juncture of affairs Strait

where he halted. When the party
drove up he was seen trying to get
away, and several shots were fired
after him. He was then run to Sam
Howlets' and then back once more to
Millholland's where the chase was
given up as the horses were almost
winded, and business engagements
called the party back to Extra. Tues.

placed all her wraps around the babe,

around her, but her blood seemed to be
standing still. Then he grew very harsh,

cracked his whip. The stage few over

partments, broadly distinguished from
each other. These departments are:

usually embraced under the head OF

Second, the list of prices-that is. the
page of financial and commercial matter,
and whatever pertains to trade through

Third, the leader, that is, the express

rage notices were of old considered very
important events, and they form q DIS

the country ahead of us, and when he
answered that he did not know, but
would find out for me, lady on the
next seat gave me the information l had

courtesy, she went on to tell me many
things about the country and the people,
the war, and the old order of things and
the new. She was married just before
the beginning of the war, to young
man who afterward became colonel in
the Confederate army. He was wound
months after the close of the war from
the effects of his injury. His property
had been chiefly in slaves. There had
been some debts, no large ones, and she
gave up the plantation and all the prop
erty which remained, and so
paid them. There was nothing
left. She had a little daueh-

prominent families, which were broken
