days ago Sheriff McGrsv arrested
Thomas Murphy, one of the proprietors
Of the Pike street butcher shop. on a
charge of stealing cattle. Murphy's
depredatIons extended over period of
nearly year, but we're 30 systematicsl-
~ carried on that he, while suspected,
could not be arrested until the time
above mentioned. He was taken before
Justice Cam, where be waived an ex-
animation, and entered into bonds in
the sum of $500, to await the action of
the Grand Jury on October 9Th. That
body assembled, but Murphy failed to
appear, and as he has not been seen for
several days, it is pretty certain he has
jumped his bail. Two of his sureties,
A. j. baker and John Burns, each took
an oath that they were each worth $3.50
over and above all Just claims and liza
bilities, and barring any technically in
the recogniZance bond, they will an
doubtedly be called upon TO pay the
