Robert Barnett, at Nyesville, this county, on
Sunday afternoon, came to town early this morn
ing, dusty and tired and looking as though he
had travelled many miles. He went to the Jail
and offered to surrender himself to Sheriff Mus

rest he was not molested. He ate breakfast at
the Jail. He said Barnett had, on several occa-

was drunk he always wanted to whip Ronger.
No warrant for his arrest has been sworn out,
