Up to II O'clock tonight Allie Ogee had
not been captured.

Cotfeyvills raid. We were being hard
pressed down in the territory and Bob de-
cided that we would have to get out of the
country. He planned the robbery about
two weeks ago while we were in Usage
county. We tried to persuade him not to

settled il, and we started"
1t was with great difficulty the bandit
told the story, as he WAS suffering terribly
from wound in the side. The physician
says he cannot possibly survive. Cashier

defendant, and refers to taking the jury
out on the old bridge during the progress

show the possibility of person on one end
of the bridge seeing man at the other end.

Georgia Rolls Up a Satisfactory Demo-
cratic Majority.
ATLANTA, Oct. 6.-Georgia to-day elected
governor and other state officers and a
full general assembly. Two full tickets
were in the field. the straight democratic
and the peoples party. The republicans
have simply national electoral ticket, and
threw their state vote to tho peoples party.
The democratic ticket is headed by Hon.
w. J. Northen for governor and the peo-
ple's party by Hon. w. L. Peck. The day
opened beautifully, and from every part of
the state bulletins announced that the vote
would be the heaviest in many years.
Returns from seventy-fv counties out of
a total of 1877 give the democratio ticket a
majority of more than 10000. There seems
to be little doubt that the majority will
reach $4,000 when the vote of all counties is
in. The third party will probably carry
six or eight counties for the legislature and
their strength will be about twenty MEM
bers of the house out of IT'S. The third
party leaders concede not less than 10000
democratic majority at II p. m.

Hedge stock Sells for Ridiculously Low
Prices.
Yesterday afternoon Hon. Charles B.
Lore, solicitor for Mrs. Rachel NJ. Clark,
ad dninistratrix OF Elmer Clark, deceased,
late of New Castls hundred. sold the
"Hamburgh" farm, 526 acres, on tine
river" road, about three miles from
New Castle. IL was bought by Samuel
Guthrie for $17, 900 This is the second
time the property has been sold, and In
both instances by order of the 0rph ans
Court The first time il was sold, Mr..
Guthrie bought it for $14, 450, but the
fale was not confirmed on account Of
gross inadequacy of price growing out Of
Misunderstanding, which was mutually
recognized to be such.
The administrators also sold some shares
of stock at ridiculously low figures.
Mark M. Cleaver bought fifty shares of
New Castle County stock for 6 cents a
share, and William H. Clark bought 675
shares of Ephraim Shaw Hedge Company
stock for 2 cents a share.
These two sales provoked much
laughter at the Court House where the
property was sold. The friends of
Cleaver and Clark seemed to think that
they were dealing in very doubtful
futures.
