 Marshal C. E. Campbell and D. NJ. Weir returned last week from Texas af- 1 ter an unsuccessful search for John l Hous Bowden, whose elopement with Mrs. Flanigan was reported in these col- umns few weeks ago. Bowden de- ! frauded Weir out of over $500, hence the 1 pursuit. They went to Lancaster, little town IL miles south of Dallas, where the 1 fugitiyes stopped two weeks and set l themselves up housekeeping. They l evidently expected to remain there, for | Bowden had made arrangements to take
 charge of gin in the fall, but receiving ] intimation that their hiding place had 1 been discovered suddenly left for other parts on the very day the officers I left Russellyille in search of them. So sudden was their departure from Lam
 caster that their housekeeping effects were left behind. Bowden and the 1 woman claimed to have been married eight months, and so demeaned them selves as Go create no suspicion of any
 thing wrong until their hasty departure. | Although d vigorous search was made
 no clue to their whereabouts could be 1 found, and the officers returned home.
 A surprising feature of the affair is that 1 Bowden does not go under an assumed name neither does he attempt to conceal l the identity of the place from which he halls. Unless he changes his tactics he will yet be caught.

 -James l.. Williamson, young man 1 formerly a citizen of this place, but now | of Holly Bend township, was arrested and tried last week charged with theft, | tIhIfhtAAlNA MibiN ~ tfNANNil Pt NbiN tVNiis l The articles stolen consisted of black smith tools taken from the shops of II. 1 N. Shade and ]. A. Jamison, an emery wheel belonging to Lewis Smith, two guns and tools taken from w. F. Settles gun shop. and lot of goods from the | hardware store of Strickland X Young. 1 The thcivery covered a considerable 1 length of time and the officers who had l the investment of the matter in charge | had considerable difficulty in locating 1 the guilty party. Finally, through an 1 ingenious piece of detective work, the criminal was apprehended by B. J. Strickland and J. K. Oates and with Il search warrant the missing articles were 1 found in his possession and returned to
 the owners. The trial resulted in his conviction in five cases of misdeineanor l for which he was fined Sl5 and senten-
 eed to two days imprisonfient in each
 case. In three cases of felony he was ! bound over in the sum of 5000 dollars ! to the grand jury. Failing to give bond
 he is confined in jail. Williamson has heretofore borne an unblemished reputa- l tion and great surprise was felt when proofs of his guilt were adduced. His parents are estimabIe people living near Potts Station, and his wife, to whom he l has been married scarcely a year, is a very excellent young lady. They have
 the sincere sympathy of many friends l in their trouble.
