Arraigned for Assault.

About the Goth of last month one Geo.
Murphy, colored, got into a difficulty
with Jonas Default, colored, who lives
on the outskirts of town. A charge Of
assault was preferred against him, but he
had fled to Limestone and taken up his
residence with one Bailay living about
a mile and a half from that place. Thith-
er Deputy ]. R. Taylor pursued last week
and found him. On Taylor's appearance
he busted himself about getting dinner
and showed no sign Of a desire to escape;
but suddenly he made a dash and ran for
dear life. Taylor pursued and the race
continued until both were completely ex-
hausted, Taylor, however, secured his
prisoner by threatening to shoot if he
ran again. But Murphy was quiet and
begged to be shot. The officer informed
him that that was not his business and
brought him to Jonesboro where he was
arraigned before Squire Young, He was
committed on failing to furnish a $3.50
bond and now languishes in the county
Bastllc awaiting the April sitting of cir
cult court, when his case will be further
investigated.
David Vaughn was arrested last Thurs
day and arraigned before Squire Young
on charge of assault on Yves. Maxwell,
but was discharged on the hearing of the
evidence in the case. 1t seems that
Vaughn, who is a resident of Hockett
Row on the village outskirts, thought
that someone was stealing his wood and
discharged a pistol from his house door
to scare away the supposed thief.
