arrival Of the nortn-pound express, which
is due at about noon, in which the thieves
obtained about $40. Rev. II. Keigwin and

was about TO board, when number Of partif
crowded around them, and when they he'd
extricated themselves from the jam they
found that their money was missing, Rev.
Mr.. Kelgwin losing about so and Mr..

notified, and Marshal Bennett, assisted by
Ohcer Carter, arrested three suspicious
looking parties, but they were let 20, as
Mr.. Johnson. when he saw them, said that

Orlando Record: Some time ago Joseph
Bumby was short in an order from one Of
| the houses with which he deals number
Of small paint brushes. He wrote them IN
! regard to the matter, and, not hearing from
Il
stating that they had forwarded them by
mail. Mr.. Bumby, having never received
| them, made inquiries, and was informed by
| Mr.. Rutherford that he had seen similar
| brushes in the possession of Charles NJ. Price,
| upon which Mr.. Bumby had a search war
rant issued yesterday afternoon, aad in COM
| pany with Deputy Sheriff Pickett went to
the grocery store of Mr.. Price, on Church
street. Mr.. Price acknowledged having
| the brushes, but claimed that he found
them on the street. He was arrested and
| brought before Justice Lane, and, pleading
not guilty OF the charge, was bound over
| in the sum Of 5000 to appear at the next
term Of the criminal court r. S. Rowland
and j. P. Cawood went his bond, but Mon
day morning they withdrew. and he was
| placed in the county jail to await his trial.
The worst feature in the case against Mr..
Price is the fact that his postoffice key will
unlock the box of MIR. Bumby.
For some time past A. NJ. Rebston and
his wife, of Springfield, suburb Of Jackson
vile, have not been living together; In fact
| divorce proceedings are now pending, and
so when MIR. Rebston went. to his home in
Springfield Tuesday night and found that
his wife, who lived next door with her
mother, had been beating his children by
former wife, he was naturally indignant.
| His mother-in-laW and wife came on the
scene about that time and began pelting
him with empty beer bottles; and,
not satisfied with this, the wife,
evidently thirsting for blood, procured
a revolver and shot at the man she
had sworn to love, honor, and obey. Mr..
Rebston, not caring to play the part of q
target in the little drama, walked away and
found Policeman Broward, and together
| they went back to arrest Mrs. Rebst III,
They found her in her mothers house, and
her brother with her. When the attempt
was made to secure her she eluded the Off
Ger and her husband, and her brother,
Peterson, trying to aid her, tackled Reb-
ston, and in the tussel drew a revolver and
shot him in the back of the head, making
an ugly, tn )ugh not necessarily dangerous
wound, as che bullet glanced. Peterson was
at once arrested, and is now in the city jail
