MARSHAL PLEroAHA RETURNS
From Danville, ILL.,, and Brings Wit
Hitm the Bunko Man

From Danville, ILL.,, and Brings Wit
Hitm the Bunko Man.
Marshal Fletcher arrived here yester-
day afternoon on the 3 p. m. Ft. Wayne
train from Danville, H., with his fugi-
tive, Charles Scott. Scott was spOtted
in Danville by the authorities as the
man who bunkoed Mr.. Eli Brothers
out of $1,000 about two weeks ago.
Brothers was sent for and he went out
to Danville and recognized Scott as the
book agent who snatched the $1,000
from his hand and skipped out. Broth
erS came back and went before Justice
Wettach and swore out a warrant
against Scott for grand larceny. Pletch-
er left on Monday for Columbus to get
a requisition from Governor Foraker to
bring Scott back. He then went Spring
field, ILL.,, to obtain the consent of tile
Governor of that State, and after he
got his permission he came back to
Danville for his prisoner.
Scott stOutly protests his innocence
and says he was never in Canton. He
has been as far east on the Fort Wayne
road as CreStline. He has in former
years been conductor ON the Wabash
road and last winter was conductor on
a train in Tennessee and was stationed
at Memphis. He also holds a nd c
tors general pass. He says he went
from Danville TO Fort Wayne and from
there to Van Vert. Here he wrote a
letter to Memphis to see if he
could not get back on the road again.
From Van Vert it is reported he went
to indianapolis.
Scott is fine looking genteel fellow
and circulates in the best society in
Danville. His mother is said to be
worth about 100000, and he has a
wealthy brother who is a prominent
man in southern Illinois.
His mother arrived here soon after
him and preparations are being made
to fight the case. Messrs. Baldwin Il
Shields have been employed to defend
him.

her son-in-law, Fred Groteluschen, his

Louis Groteluschen. They yall lived on the

foul play, but the majority incline to the
belief that tho bnrn took fire in some way,

between the members of the family, and
no enemies are known. The body of Mrs.
Groteluschen was crushed under the body
of q horse, and was the only one which
could be recognized, the others being hor-
ribly burned. The dwelling house was
found to be in excellent order. The morn

disorder was noticeable. Every thing

from one to six years. 1t is singular that
these young children should also have been

foul play, and tho verdict was accidental

Louis Groteluschen, who was employed as
a laborer on the farm, and who also per-

MONTGOMERY, ALA, May 4.-There is
trouble IL. Lowndes County, where the
negroes cutnumber the whites six to one.
1t grew out of the murder in March of
Mitchell Gresham by Theo. Galloway, a col
ored man. Galloway claimed the killing
was in self-defense, and when about one
week la:er he was lynched at Hayneville
the colcred people began threatening and
preparing for vengeance. Their demon
strations around Sandy Ridge, where the
killing Of Gresham occurred, became SO
open that white citizens applied to the sher-
i'll for protection. They swore out twenty
warrants against as many negroes, and the
sheriff, in attempting to execute one on
Wednesday last, was lesisted, and wound
ed his man before taking him. He then
gathered a posse Of fifty armed white
men, and to-day arrested about fifteen COL
ored men. On their way to Jail they came
in con flict with large body of armed col
ored men, and dispersed them with few
volleys. The sheriff had gone off to the
nearest telegraph station, and the posse
was in charge Of deputies Rice, Merri-
wether and d. Cook. Both of these wers
wounded, and two colored men are said
to have been killed. Two military COM
panies have been dispatched to the scene.
