Last Saturday night Lewis Wright, a
colored individual, while being escorted to
the Guard House by two Policemen in Co
lumbia, succeeded in getting his knife out of
his pocket, and after cutting policeman Hen
nies badly on the ear made his escape.
Chief of Police, Graham, of that city
telegraphed to Town Marshal May to watch
out for Wright, and on Monday upon the ar
rival Of the up train, Mr.. May boarded the
train and found the fugative and arrested
him. Wright bristled up little at first, but
the emphatic manner of our gentlcmanly
Marshal soon cooled him down, and he con-

quietly to Jail where he now languishes, and
Chief Of Police Graham notified Of his arrest.
