a MuRDrnrn CAprURED.-John
Underwood, who on the evening
of the Fourth of July, shot and
killed the Marshal of New Straits
vile, o and who fed from Ohio TO
this State, and for whose capture a
reward of $500 was offered by the
town of New StratsvilIe, and $1,000
by the County Commissioners OF
Perry county, was captured by Con-
stable VIM. FogIesong, at the home
Geo. Greenlee, short distance
from town, Saturday afternoon. 1t
had been reported that Underwood
had eaten breakfast at Greenlee's on
Friday morning, and this coming to
the cars of Mr.. Foglesong, he in
company with the Sheriff of Perry
county, drove out there Saturday
afternoon. to make enquiry to get
upon the trail of Underwood, if pos
sible and run him down. When
they arrived at the house, and
looking in at the door, they found
Underwood sitting in the house
contentedly reading a newspaper
Officer Foglesong went around the
house and entered the back door
while the Sheriff stood guard near
the front door. Mr.. FogIesong
came upon him from the rear, and
charging him caught him unaware,
throwing his arms around him and
holding him until he was disarmed
and hand-cuffed. He was brought
at once to the Jail in this place. On
Sunday morning Underwood agreed
to return to Ohio without requisi-
ton, and accordingly he was taken
out to the K. & NJ. depot, but just
when the train was pulling in in
formation was received by our
officers that a mob of infatuated men
were collecting at Straitsville to
lynch the prisoner as soon as he ar
rived at the depot, then our officers
interfered and would not allow the
prisoner to go unless a guarantee
was given that he should not be
molested by the mob. This the
Sheriff of Perry county could not
give, and Underwood then settled
the matter by refusing to go until
the regular formalities of law had
been complied with, and a requisi-
ton obtained for his return to Ohio,
and he was returned to the Jail in
this place. Constable Foglesong
went over Sunday to Perry county
with the Sheriff, TO see about the re-
ward of 81 800, about all of which is
coming to him.
Sheriff B. D. Yaw, of Perry
County, went to Charleston Mon
day and obtained requisition papers,
from Gov. Mac orkle, and on yes
terday morning he arrived here
and the prisoner was turned over to
him and he was started for New
Lexington, Ohio. Mr.. Fogelsong ac-
eompanied the Sheriff, as did also
Mr.. John E. Beller, Mr.. Fogle,
songs Attorney.
The prisoner on going to the
train yesterday morning, handed
the following card to a REGISTER
reporter:
81 wish to express my hearty and
sincere thanks for the kind treat
ment shown me by tho officers and
people in general was visited by
hundreds of people Sunday and all
were welcome, the curious gazer as
well as the interested. I trust they
will never be placed in like en-
barrassing position. L especially
thank Mr.. Borgess. and his attend
ants, as their treatment could not
have been better.

ELUDRD THEM.-Last week. OF

ELUDED THEM--Last week, of
fieers from Mcdowell county came
here on the trail of an outlaw named
Richardson, who had killed a man
in that county some months ago.
Richardson has been working at
Lock IL since last March, and the
officers knew where to find him.
Had they used the proper precau-
tion they could have captured their
man, but instead of calling on our
officers here TO make the arrest, who
were unknown to Richardson, they
went to the Lock and entered the
pit. Richardson espied them, and
Immediately planned for his escape,
by cooning up the sides oflhe Golfer
dam, and making for the woods. IL
is needless to say that he got away
from the smart officers, and they
left Disguised. They made no ar
rangement for his arrest. He conld
have been picked up here Saturday,
for he was ON the streets all day,
but no one was called upon to ar
rest him, and no charge against him
was left here by the Mcdowell
officers. Saturday night Richard
son left for down the Ohio.

SAD REPUBLICAN LOSS.

Peg Leg -.Jointist.'' VIII Not Vote the Re
publican Ticket Anymore.
"Pegleg'' Curtin, so called because one
Of his members was amputated near the
belt during the war, Was arrested SAtur-
day night for selling whisky. The ar
rest made Curtin 50 mad that he made
vow then and there that he would never
vote another Republican ticket as long
as he lives.
Curlin's place was near the corner of
First and Madison streets. In the little
front room was a short counter ana IN
the back room Curtin slept he has the
rheumatism IN the left foot 50 bad it's
swollen to nearly twice its normal size
and he has to wear No. IA shoe. This
fact alone reconciles him 10 the fact that
his other foot is made OF hickory. There
is no storm SO cold or damp as to cause
the slightest rheumatic twinge in his
hitching post appendix.
Curtin hoped his i'll health would ease
the grasp which the strong right arm Of
the law mad placed Cd his shoulder, but
he was mistaken.
"Ive got the rheumatism so bad 1 amt
left this bed since the day of the election
Fact, gentlemen, the day of the election

stay right here l amt got no whisky
except what's IN this cup May l drink
