Application was made Tuesday
to Squire Goodwin for a warrant to
arrest George Arnold on charge of
entering the dwelling house of
Charles Rogers and stealing an
overcoat, suit of clothes, a pair of
shoes and pair OF kid gloves. The
warrant was issued and placed in
the hands of +. M. Halbrtter, a
Constable from Tunnelton who was
here, our Constable, Geo. Hoffman,
being sick. Arnold was found at
the house Of his brother and duly
arrested, and when near town the
Constable stopped at house to
summon a witness, leaving the
prisoner in charge of John Gidley,
who had been deputized to assist.
AS the Constable was returning
Arnold started to run, but Gidley
was too quick for him and caught
him. Arnold made a pass at him
with knife and cut him badly
across the back of his hand, which
loosened his grip. The Constable
seeing the struggle and Arnold
start second time to run, drew his
revolver and fred on him, but
without effect, and Arnold escaped,
and is probably in Pennsylvania by
this time. The joke is on Gidlcy,
as he had the suit of clothes on
that Arnold had stolen, having
traded with the latter for them,
and now that Arnold has gone with
GidleY's clothes, and he has to give
up the stolen ones, 1t leaves him in
bad fix.

SPEEDY JUSTICE.

Saturday, March IL, a man named
Wesley Jenkins, who lived out in
Reno District between Tunnelcon
and Fellowsvllle, stole FIVE hogs
from a man named Shaver and
drove them to independence and
sold them to different parties. In
a few days he was arrested and
lodged in Jail here, and last Satur.
day the Grand Jury returned an
indictment for felony against him.
lie was brought INTO Court by the
jailor and promptly confessed gull
ty, and gave as his excuse that
times were so hard he had to steal
or starve, as he could get no work
at any price. The Judge sentenced
him to five years in the Peniten-
tiary, and remarked that times
would likely be better when he got
out. All the above in one week >
time is not such slow justice after
all. jenkins bears a bad name, as
ne served term in the Penitentiary
before for stealing yoke Of oxen
from q man with whom he stald all
night, and after driving the oxen
of and selling them, he then stole
them again and took them back to
the owner.
