John Adams, of CentreYille, ana
Jnmcs T.. Newton, Of the
renth wnrd-A Mniden'S
plight.

The crowd assembled at Judge Nc
Kay's Office this morning gave the place
the appearance OF country meeting
house, fortunately lacking, however, the
presence OF presiding elder. There
we're old men, young men, old women
and young women, OF different styles,
sizes, varying in appearance to meet
their different positions in life. The
gathering was OF course the result OF
couple OF raids, the one made last night
at Centrevile by Deputies Pratt, Cannon,
Smith and Sprague and the other made
this morning in the Tenth ward OF this
city by Captain Greenman and Deputy
Cannon.
The victim OF last nights raid was one
John Adams, a rather well-to-do SAINT
residing in the Davis county village
above mentioned. The four officers went
north soon after dark and reached their
destination quite early in the evening.
The principal has two houses in close
proxinity,so that it was necessary to raid
them both at the same time and also to
keep close watch upon two neighborlng
houses where witnesses were to be found.
In order to make sure thing OF it, two
OF the officers obtained position where
they could guard three of the houses,
while the other two approached the
| fourth dwelling and Knocked at
the door. They heard whispering
inside and considerable rustllng
about, but received no answer. They
| then demanded admission, land the door
| being opened they found Adams, his first
wife and two or three other witnesses
When they entered they noticed door
to one of the adjoining rooms close, and
| heard it locked from the inside. This
had been done by u charming young
daughter Of Mr.. Adams. In moment
the lady heard one OF the officers say
that he was Il United States Marshal
and there being but one door to the room
she decided to resort to the window
Raising the sash she went TO let hersel
down to the ground, when alas a nail
Decentralization AT about thu
same time Mr.. Sprague decided to rounC
up the house to see if any one ha'
escaped by the back way. Turning
the first corner he was Mortified to Sc
the maiden suspended in mid air, vainl
endeavoring to loose her skirt from tn
stubborn spike. Like true American
gallant, the deputy stepped forward, wit
most dramatic "Allow me-" and il
another moment the fair ones feet wer
on the ground. She was then escorte
to the house, and in answer to the read
ing OF the subpoena she flung 4 saucy g
amt afraid OF YOU" ut the half paralyze
deputy, and then settled down to this
/ deep, dark silence known only to females
, Brother Adams was brought down t
the city last evening and the witncsse
followed this morning. At the Commi
, siones's Office he decided to waive exam
q nation and was bound over in the sum {
- 81 800, the charge being that OF unlawlt
