The arrest of the negro, William Dewitt,
last Thursday, was detailed In these COL
umns, and also the finding OF two prison
suits he had hidden, the suits being branded
on the back with the number 1880" The
first telegram sent by Marshal Shy to the
warden of the military prison at Leaven-
worth failed to state that Dewitt was COL
ored, and did not state the number marked
on his prison suit. A response came from
Leavenworth that the description of the
arrested man did not tally with that OF any
deserter from that post. Yesterday a Sec
ond telegram was sent to Leavenworth
giving the points omitted in the first dis
patch. The following reply was received:
civilian Dewitt, colored, No. $50, es-
capped from military prison, December
9th. $50 reward will be paid for his de-
livery here al Fl. LeavenwOrth. Answer
w. p EVANS, Adjutant.
The prisoner will be taken back to-
morrow, in charge of Officer
McGhee. Dewitt is quite will
ing to 60, as he thinks he will not fare
SO hard by a return as he would were he TO
be delivered to the civil authorities 10 be
tried and delivered for the robbery of jewel
nv he committed last week at Franklin,
across the river from Boonville.

A Narrow Escape.

An accident occurred at Snedaker's pork
packing establishment, in the southeastern
suburbs of the city, about 3 o'clock yester-
dav afternoon.
The building is frame structure, two
stories high, recently erected. On the up
per floor was stored the shoulders and
hams of twelve hundred hogs, sggre-
eating in weight about one hundred
Thousand pounds. Owing to some defect in
the construction of the building the upper
floor, unable TO sustain such a great weight
gave way at the time stated. When the
accident occurred most of the hands were
in the slaughter house. Mr. Charles Sned-
aker was sitting in the office on the first
floor. He CHANGED to be in such position
that the falling timbsrs did not fall direct
ly upon him, but he was hurled against the
stove, his left hand quite badly burned,
and his left arm and shoulder bruised.
His injuries, while quite painful, are not
at all serious, but his escape was narrow
one.
Mr. Snedaker last evening informed a
BAZOO reporter that the damage TO his
stock and building would not exceed 500
and that the accident would cause no sus
pension of business
