that Geo. Dunn, of GraniteyiIle. had found
the S165 which the wallet contained. He
accordingly came down sunday and swore
out warrant against Dunn, who was that
night arrested at Sabula and brought to the
| jail by Constable Patton. The evidence
which is mostly circumstantial is to this ef-
| feet: Dunn was never known TO be worm
anything-speaking from financial point
Of view-but few days after the pocket
book was lost he purchased and paid for
good team of horses. Dunn strenuously
denies the charge and asserts that he can
prove his innocence. The preliminary was
inaugurated Monday but, owing to the alb
sence of two of the defense's witnesses could
not be finished on that day and the case was
continued until two O'Clock Wednesday when
the investigation will be completed. 1t is
probable that Dunn will be bound over.
Henry Orrick, the noted Gad'> Hill out
! law, who made his escape from the Green
vile Jail on the eth of the present month
was recaptured last Sunday morning on
| Sinking Creek, in Reynolds county, by the
Sheriff's posse which has been diligently in
search Of him ever since he broke Jail. The
up his hands when called on by the officials
and tameIy submitted to arrest. When cap
tured he had rations sufficient for three days
with him and ii was evident he was getting
ready to leave the country. good many
people in Wayne county, ii is said, breathe
freer now that Orrick is again behind the
bars, he had uttered some desperate
threats against all persons who had anything
to do with the shooting OF his brother about
4 month since, although the man who fired
the fatal shot is reported rs by no means
being afraid of Orrick or any of the outlaws
friends, but, on the contrary, has been on the
alert and quite willing to meet the desperate
should he desire to carry out the dire threats
of Vengeance he had sworn against the man
who killed his brother. In any event the
re-taking Of Orricll is a triumph for law and
justice in Old Wayne and the officials should
be very careful that he does not again give
them the slip.
Last Saturday at the Blow School IN Caron-
delet Congressman Kinsey held Il COMPETE
tive examination among the applicants for
appointment to the cadetship Vacancy exist
inc in the Naval School, Annapolis, Md,
going we learn from the Wa>hinetO dis
patches 10 the Globe Democrat. When this
district was represented by Democrat il
was always the custom on occasions similar
to the above for the Congressman to give
formal notice, through every paper in the
district, of the date and place the eXamIna-
tiou would occur and in what branch the
applicants would be questioned, together
with such other information as insured ]
fair and equal show to ell contestants. in
this instance above cited, though, but very
limited notice was given and that Only |
through the St. Louis dailies. However,
pei haps Mr.. kinsey thinks that that end of
toe district which furnished the Doodle and |
fraudulent votes to secure his election are
entitled TO all the favors he may have to dis |
pense. If this is the view he takes of the |
matter we waive our kicK. for Of all humans
we despise the most 'tis the politician who,
in the day of his prosperity, proves himself
an migrate TO the bridge that forded him
over the waters when the tide was high.
