TUEsDAY.-A large crowd in town..
While the tents for the show were going
up this morning the elephants were out
on the common. A number of persons
were watching the showmen at work,
when one of the elephants charged the
crowd, scattering people in every direc-
ton. 1t came our way, and as we didn't
want to hurt it, we left. Quite a num-
ber-among whom was George Radcliff-
left faster than we did. None of us had
anything against that elephant ....Quite
a number of persons were taken in by
swindles to-day. John Mclaughlin lost
five dollars, Squire Cremeens lost ten,
and James Meacham lost two-but Mr..
Meacham claims that his was snatched
out of his hand. A colored man was put
in Jail for the robberies, but he had made
disposal of the money.
David Barlow was tried before Mayor
James on Friday, on the charge of bur-
glarizing some warehouses on the farm
of George W. Poor, on two occasions,
once in July last, and once on the 4th of
April last. G. w. Poor, Alexander Poor,
Halleck Poor, Tad Poor, Samuel McGhee,
Hutch. McGhee, Andrew McMillen, and
many others were called as witnesses.
The testimony showed that on the first
occasion the lock had been chopped off
by blow from an AK. and on the second
occasion the window had been pried up,
and on both occasions considerable prop
erty, in the way of tools, &C., had been
taken. Some of these tools were traced
to the possession of David Barlow and a
man named Jefferson Malone, two Ger
man Silver spoons having been captured
by Mr.. Poor and Marshal Owens at Dav-
id Barlow's house, some seven eight miles
from Poor's and up toward Eagle Fur
mace, in Vinton County. These spoons
Mr. Poor had in the warehouse, and had
been using them in measuring medicine
for horses, and he readily identified them
as his property.
Tracks were found about Mr.. Poor's
premises which resembled tracks made
by Barlow and Malone. The tracks at
the last raid showed, in the smaller tracks,
a few nails or pegs sticking out of the toe
of one shoe, so as to make an impression
in the earth. One of the shoes worn by
Barlow at the trial showed several nails
protruding from the toe, where the out
side sole had worn off.
A man named Hunter bought two au-
gers and file from Barlow for twenty
five cents. Samuel McGhee borrowed a
file from Barlow which Mr.. Poor readily
identified as his property. Mr.. Poor caus-
ed ripple of merriment, when Mr.. Pow
ell asked him if he had missed any files.
"Yes," said Poor. "Where did you find
them?" asked Powell. 81 found one in
the possession of Mr.. Samuel McGhee."
said Poor. "So," said. Powell, "McGhee
has been breaking into your houses, too.
has hep" "Wen," said Poor, with mer-
ry twinkle in his eyes, 81 can't say as to
that, Mr.. McGhee is getting old, but he
used to be boy, and may not have got
ten over his wild tricks yet"
John L. Jones appeared as attorney for
defense.
Mayor James, after hearing the testi-
mony, held Barlow to answer to the Court
of Common Pleas, placing the bond at
S4oO in each case. This amount was af-
terward reduced to $500 in each case.
Barlow went to Jail.
