was to be crossed. This almost
destroyed the happiness of the dear
little ones as they contemplated the dan

come up before them in frightful forms.
Mastering up all their courage, they started

Franklin Ns1Os: The long absent A. N.
Hill is again in Heard county. He went
away with 500 and returned with 35 cents,
having walked, as he says, from the Missis-
slppi river. Hills mysterious disappear
of it is now all that remains to be told. Hill
states that ne was arrested by kidnapers in
Lac range in trout of TRUTHS store,
handcuffed, carried TO the de-
pot and to Atlanta by the
o'clock train. His route was then by way
of Kansas City, Mo-, to a remote part of
New Mexico, where he was kept chained in
cave until January 90. He was not al
lowed to talk on his way, and his arresters
gave no reas N for his capture, except that
they thought his name was White On the
early morning. Of January 20, after
weeks Of toll with a little file he
succeeded in loosing his fet-
ters, aud while his guards were at breakfast
he rushed for one of cir fastest horses and
headed toward civilization. He was pur-
sued all day. At nightfall, however, the
mountains had been reached, and binding
snow made travelling impossible, and his
pursuers returned. All night he walked,
70 keep from freezing, about on the noun
tain, leading his horse, and at daylight
began again his tiresome journey.
He sold his horse in the Indian
territory, and walked, he says, the
balance OF the way. On Tuesday Hill went
with Mr.. Wingo to LaGrange to get the
lost money, stating that it was there and
safe. On reaching town he went to guano
repository near the depot, under which he
claims to have put the money after his
alleged arrest. 1t WAS not there. He is
now trying to get work, and says he will
paw the money back. MIR Wingo nor any
body else places any confidence in Hills con-
Trajectory tale.
