On last Friday night the inmates of the
Baptist College were given q pleasant enter
tainment by several OF the teachers and stu
dents of the school. 1t consisted of q num-
Der of tableaux in imitation of Mrs. Jsrley's
wax-works, which were participated in by
about thirty young ladies' of the boarding de-
partment, while the rest of the boarders were
the spectators. The pieces Of statuary were
various, and all of them good. The hlstor-
ic, comic and pathetic were all we'll repre-
sented. Among the pieces and groups pre-
sented were, 'The Sleeping Ariadne,"
"Little Red Ridinghood," 1.-THE Chewing
gum Woman" MRS. Winslow and the
Crying Babes, "The Woman who Sang her
self to DEATH" "Pyramus and Thisbe,"
"Socrates and XanthIppe," and several others
worthy Of mention. One Of the most inter-
esting Of the tableaux was a group repre-
senting the familiar historical scene of Poca-
hontas saving the life of Capt. Smith, which
was rendered quite impressive from the fact
that Pocahontas was represented by o sure
enough Indian girl of the Indian Territory.

Thursday afternoon a neatly dressed young
man, wearing a gum Overcoat, and giving the
name of Mccoy, went to the livery stable Of
Young & Ewing, and told Mr.. Young he
wanted a rig to 60 out to Tom Stramcke's.
He wanted a driver and a good vehicle, as be
might want to bring one or W. persons to
town with him. He asked the cost, and was
told it would be 81 80. He said he might
want to 60 some further, and Mr.. Young
hitched up a team, with Albert Gates as
driver. Mr.. Young told Albert he could 20
to Stramcke's, or a mile or so further. but if
he wen more than that. the bill would be
more. They went to Stramcke's where
Mr.. Charles Russell lives, but Mr.. Russell
was at the back of the pasture, and Mccoy
told Albert to drive Oh. Mccoy talked with
Albert about various persons living in the
vicinity. They crossed the Sni a little before
dark. where they found a man named A. W.
Dunn, with his wife and four children, IN
camp. Dunn was a mover, going from
Daviess county to St. Clair county, and had
q wagon and team, and a loose horse and q
colt. Mccoy went up to DUN and told him
that somebody had been passing counterfeit
money IN Richmond, and that he. Mccoy was
. United States marshal. and had a warrant
for him, Dunn. He demanded to be sho WI
the money in Dunn's possession. The money.
$2l0 was produced, and Mccoy took down
the number and mou OF each bill, and then
put them in his pocket. ae made Albert
Gates help him watch Dunn, and told Dunn
they would stay with him all night, and that
he would have to come back to Lexington
with them in the morning. About dark he
told Albert Gates to watch Dunn, and that
he, Mccoy, would go up to Mr.. Wm.H ieklin's
house and get somebody to help. He told
him that when Mr.. Ricklin came, he, Albert,
was to return TO town, and stop at Mr.. Rus
selrs and send Mr.. Russell out to help watch
the prisoner. He gave Albert 50 to pay the
livery bill, and then disappeared. Pretty
soon MIR. Hicklin came to the camp, and
Albert returned, sending Mr.. Russell out, as
he was ordered to do. Mr.. Russell went out.
and found Mr.. Hlcklin watching the prisoner,
and the two men staid there all night watching
Dunn. When Mccoy left camp, he went to
Mr.. Hicklin's house, only three hundred
yards away, and told Mr.. Hicklin he wanted
q man togo down to the lamp and help watch
q prisoner; he said he was a United States
marshal; he also wanted a horse and a guide
to go with him to Odessa, where he had to do
some telegraphing. He offered 81 90 for the
use Of the horses. and 80 80 for a guide, and
was to pay well for Mr.. Hicklin's services in
watching the prisoner. He paid Mr.. HicklIn
a u gold piece for the horse and guide, prom
Using to be back at the camp by 2 O'Clock.
Mr.. Hicklin caught two horses, and sent a
boy with Mccoy, to show the way, and he
went to the camp to watch the prisoner, and
relieve Albert Gates. Mccoy and the boy
started for Odessa, but, when near that place,
Mccoy said he believed he would 20 to the
