from the house, but without her shoes. She
turned the horses loose to prevent pursuit,

whip was piled and at 8 o'clock this
morning the carriage stopped at the resi-

that the team had gotten into a yellow

driver out, kicking him under the wagon
and the wagon ran over him. Dr. Douglas
went into the field and found the negro

resulted in the arrest of the strange negro,
who was brought in and placed in Jail this
morning. An examining trial may result in
