I themselves placed in an unexpected and
I queer predicament Tuesday afternoon. While
returning from the base ball grounds they
concluded they would stop in at the Jail and
I maze tour Of inspection. They were ad-
mitted by the wOrAmen, and soon were
I rambling through the various cells and cor
rid0rs. They were IN total ignorance Of the
flight Of time, and when they found them
t selves ready 10 leave, were astOnished to dis
cover that the sun had nearly set. They
B moved hastily towards the entrance, and
/ locked the doors and taken their departure.
[ The knowledge came only too soon that they
/ were involuntary prisoners. Every effort To
nnu an exit proved frultless. All the corners
Of the building were searched in vain for a
/ means Of escape, but they were in durance
vile. and were fast yerging upon the point OF
T despair. At last, after having been confined
for about two hours, they found their way
. into the basement, aud managed TO creep out

J. ". Adams, who lives in Florida, went
to Macon some time ago and made a visit to a
certain saloon in that city during his stay,
Z where he claimed to have been robbed OF $500,
I and charged the crime to J. NJ. MintOn, gen.
I tlemau well known in the city. A warrant
I was issued against Mr.. MintOn at the instance
. Of Adams by Justice Freeman. Mr.. MintOn
was not in the city next day, having gone to
I Florida on a business trip, and the paper con-
I sequently was not served. The matter has
I rested in that shape ever since, no further
+ steps being taken by either side. Not long
since Mr. MlntOn returned TO the city and de-
1 manded a hearing before the magistrate who
I issued the warrant. Justice Freeman COM
1 muuICated the fact to Adams and request
. Ell his appearance as the prosecutor in the
/ case. Adams did not answer and he was ad-
/ dressed a second time. Still he failed to put
. In an appearance. Tuesday MIR. MlntOn ap-
/ peared before Justice Freeman, accompanied
I by his attorney, and demanded dismissal OF
I the warrant It was done. \ counter war
/ rant was tnen issued at the instance Of Mr..
MintOn, charging Adams with malicious
/ prosecution. The failure of Adams to appear
I against Mr. MintOn leads TO the suspicion
. that the course he pursued was prompted by
J M motives. and that Mr.. MintOn was in no
I manner connected with the crime charged.
