tanned this interesting item:
About daylight this morning Deputy
Sheriff Goodwin, Policeman Raley and
several others left the city in northerly
direction, having in view the capt@re of
the notorious negro criminal, Lum War
ren. The officers had received a "tip"
that the much wanted negro was hiding
out near the Walters place. The in
formation appeared to come so there
could be no uncertainty as to the right
man this time. The trip was arranged
and begun early this morning, as above
stated. An in3ursion was made up in
Lee unity going by the Walters place
and returning by the Mccarthy place,
going several miles without the hounds,
which had been secured from the mar
shall of Sasser, having struck trail or
learned anything by which they could
continue the chase.
The party returned at noon pretty
badly fatigued.
