At Edinburg, yesterday morning, Constable
Reinhold, of Dogberry Row, this city arrested
William Norris q section hand on the j., M e.

that Morris has three living wives. one Of whom
is in Indianapolis. He arrived in Edinburg
last March with his last wife from Greenwood.
Indiana where his parents reside. Morris ia
twenty eight years old, said to be sober and In
dustrious, and his arrest caused considerable stir
at Edinburg, where during mis- short residence.
he had come to be well thought of.
The queer thing about the arrest is that
though he started with Constable Reinhold, OF
Dogberry Row, for Indianapolis, neither the JAN
nor the station-house contains any record OF
Morris's arrival. Reinhold was found at his
home late last night, but would give no answer 10
the reporters queries concerning his prisoner.
Morris could almost be forgiven his escape and
justice be thoroughly satisfied had he taken
Reinhold with him.
