A THIEF ESCAPES Summer
vile Herald say: "Peter Way, colored,
whom the authorities at Orangeburg
offered a reward for his capture for
stealing horse from Mr.. James Bell,
was arrested on Saturday last by two
colored men and brought to this town
tied to horse. The novel scene attrac-
ted considerable attention until the
prisoner was united. Mr.. Bell was
telegraphed to at Orangeburg and ne
arrived on the 11.43 a. m. train. IN his
haste to catch the train, Mr.. Bell ne
elected to procure the necessary papers
to take Way on to Orangeburg, and IN
consequence had to return for that pur-
pose, leaving Way in charge OF James
CAN'T, one Of Justice Perry's constables.
The prisoner complained of being, tor
tured by the handouts and begged the
constanble to case them for him so that
he could sleep. In the morning when
the constable awoke the prisoner was
gone. Mr.. Bell returned on Sunday
armed with the law, but his man had
given all the slip. A guardhouse9, could
have prevented this careleSSneSS.
