| One Of the most novel and seriously funny
things that has transpired in this vicinity since
we have been chronicling the passing events
occurred on Tuesday last Nearly everyone
has heard Of the last shirt having been taken
from some mans back but the expression usu-
ally referred to some mans sharp practice or
close dealing with his fellowman. But that
thing was literally done last Tuesday by our
young friend, Charley Miller, Of the Point.
and was brought about thus When Charley
arose from the slumbers of the night he dis
covered that one Of his shirts had been remov-
ed from the line, where II had been hung to
dry the evening before and seeing fresh tracks
from the clothes line leading In this direction,
/ ne lOst no time Dut pOcketed his gun and
mounted his horse, determined, il possible, to
hunt down the thief. He had not gone far
when he met Hanson Mccoy, who reported
having met man near the resid6ce OF VIM.
Clyborn. with . check shirt under his srm,
coming in the direction Of Rsinsboro. Charley
pushed on to this place and beyond, but the
fellow had left the road below uncle Jim Roads
residence and had gone into the woods on the
back part Of the farm, where Brices dogs treed
him and where Brice found him, he having
built fire and dried the stolen shirt, after
which he put it on and burned the one he took
of. The thief, who subsequently gave his
name as Frederick Knuff, returned to the road
but had not gone far when Charlie met him
and on recognizing the shirt, demanded that
he take it off at once but Knuff refused and
drew weapon that seemeed to be cross be-
tween razor and corncutter and showed
fight, but Charlie Immediately showed his pop
and the fellow weakened and pulled off the
shirt. Charlie, accompanied by Brice Roads,
Carney Ferguson and Taylor Ward, marched
him to town, where he was taken before Squire
J. @. Ferguson. who found himself bound by
the law, in consequence OF the weight OF evi
dence against the accused, to recognize him Il
court, hence he turned him over to the tender
' care Of Constable T. NJ. Ferguson, who tool
him to Hillsboro and lodged him in Jail.
