Justice Was Speedy.

D. Andrew Parkes, COL, stole fou
; chickens from Mr.. Polk Cansler yes
terday, and in less than two hour
was landed in the work house, where
o he will serve out sentence OF 81
days.
o Stole Jennet.
Jas. Ogleby, COL, was arrested in
o Todd county Wednesday and lodged
in Jail here on charge OF mule steal
ing. Oglcsby captured a jennet be-
longing to Mr.. Polk Cansler which
jumped out of lot on the evening Of
the first Monday in this month, and
taking it to Elkton traded it of. II
is likely that special grand jury will
be empaneled to pass on the case.
Charged With Horse Stealing.
Monday night special officer 4. S.
Winfree, Of Casky, came to the city
and arrested JAS. L. Allen ON war
rant charging him with having stole
horse from party in Robertson
county, Tenn. Allen was taken before
the Guthrie court where an examin-
ing trial was held, and from there he
was ordered sent to Jail at Spring
field TO await the action Of the grand
jury.
Dwelling House Burned.
The dwelling house of Mr.. Tim
Brown, Eing near Crofton, was
burnol " ,1nesday morning, togeth-
er with nearly all the household ef-
fects Of the family. Mrs. Brown was
the only person at home when the
fire was discovered and only saved q
few articles OF furniture which were
near the front door. A defective flue
in the cook room caused the FIRE. The
loss is about 81 600. No insurance.
Residence Burned.
The two-story frame residence on
the farm Of Esq. Jas. NJ. Clark, six
miles from town ON the Clarksville
pike, was burned about midnight on
Tuesday night. The house was oc-
cupied by tenant named Scott, who
succeeded in getting out most Of his
household effects. In one room the
owner OF the house had lot of fur
niture stored and this was destroyed.
The house was worth perhaps $500
and was insured with Long, Winfree
& Kelly for 5000 in the Royal. 1t
is not known just how the fire origi-
mated. When discovered the flames
were well under way and the lateness
OF the hour and the absence of any
assistance made il impossible to do
anything towards saving the house.
All that could 10 done by the tenants
was 10 remove the contents as far as
they were able.
Esq. Clark lives in this city on Wal
nut street.
The Fugitive Heard From.
Omar s. Brown, who ran away
from Hopkinsville ON the night of
Sept. IL, was seen in Alton, Ill, the
following day by Gus Hall, formerly
a resident of this city. Mr.. Hall
knew him well aud had talk with
him, not knowing at the time that
Brown was leaving Kentucky and
perhaps the United States because OF
his evil-doings. He claimed to be en-
route to Western Missouri TO visit an
uncle, but the probabilities are that
he was headed towards Canada, as
he could have reached any part of
Missouri from st. Louis without go
ing further north in another State.
No steps are being taken to appre-
hend him and it is not probable that
a reward will be offered large enough
to induce an officer to follow and ,
bring him back. We have probably
seen the last OF Bro. Brown in this
part of the country. |
By-the-way, isn't it about time for
the City Council and the Board of /
School Trustees to. begin to purge ,
themselvesi
