o'clock last evening telephone message was
received at the station.house to the effect
that an officer was wanted at Richmond
Grove to take charge of man who was cor
rsled there for stealing an overcoat. Chief
Karcher jumped into his buggy and pro.
ceeded to the locality, but about the time of
his arrival the thief broke away, and a
lively footrace eusued. The fugitive evsded
the men an foot, but was headed off by man
en- horseback, and the Chief went into a
place where ne had taken refuge and took
him il charge. He proved to be a
young man named Tom Murray, who had
been wanted by the police for several weeks
on suspicion of his being the individual who
entered John keber's grocery 400 q street,
and stole sum of money from the till. To
effect lis arrest for this enterprise, several
dispatches and letters had been sent, but

wa.cb, and also of taking from another party
powder and shot and pair of gum boots.
