CARo, ILL.,, January 9-Marshal Brizen-
dine, Of Clinton, KY, yesterday mornina
succeeded in capturing the man Price a.
Dresden, Tenn, who few days ago foully
murdered Sheriff Henry Winter, of Clinton.
while resisting arrest. The prisoner il
held in Jail at Dresden by the sheriff
of that city, who claims part OF
the reward of $1,000 offered for Prices
arrest. The facts appear to be that
Brizendine succeeded in tracing and lo-
eating his man, and called upon the sheriff
at Dresden to assist. The latter declined To
have anything to do with the matter until
Brizendine swore out warrant, after which
the arrest was effected. The Ogle brothers
were also captured, one charged with assist-
ing in the murder, the other in the escape Of
both parties. When the train on the Illinois
Central passed Clinton this morning large
and excited crowd surrounded the depot for
the avowed purpose of lynching Price should
he be on board.
