A SERIOUS CHARGE.
A Man Is Arrested, But Succeeds In Get
ting Away.

Several days ago warrant was
sworn out before Justice Ankle, for a
young man residing in Triadelphia dis
trict, charging him with procuring an
abortion upon his daughter. The war
rant was placed in the hands of the
sheriff, and yesterday, the man came to
town. Deputy Sheriff Garden arrested
him and took him before the justice,
who was uncertain as to whether he was
sheriff, and secure the warrent.
QDuring his absence the man learned
that he had been arrested without a
warrant, and turning to the deputy
sheriff he told him he had no paper upon
which to hold him, and he was not 60
ing to stay. Suiting the action to the
word, he walked out of the office. The
man will probably be re-arrested today,
as soon as the warrant is secured. =
