Michael Butler, who was arrested
Tuesday Oh suspicion of having stolen
horse was dismissed by Magistrate
Sasse Tuesday afternoon, as it was
shown that the horse found in his pos-
session was his. own. Butler bad rer
ceived the horse from Edward Taylor

horse resembled Que of the horses at
the Iron Hill track which cdored
man started to bring to this city early
Tuesday morning. When near Stanton
the colored man hitched the horse and
went back distance after blanket,
which had fallen from the horse's
back. When he returned the horse
was gone. He came to this city and
reported the loss When. therefore,
Buffers attempt to sell a horse at a
low price to Jester & Mcdaniel became
known to the police, they put this and
that together and concluded that But
Ter had the missing horse. He was
consequently arrested. But at hear
ing before Magistrate Sasse, Taylor ap
peared and established the fact that
the horse was Buffers. The other
horse is still missing.

Twelve writs OF Ceriiornri Issued by the
Kent County Prothonatary.

Aont county ffothohatary-
Twelve writs Of certioTari were issued
Tuesday by Parliamentary Stephen
Belts OF Kent county in behalf OF as
many Single Takers. who wero serving
sentences In Dover Jail.
Under the writs Protbonotary Belts
was willing to accept $50 bail in the
case Of each OF the IL prisoners, who
would thus be given their liberty until
the cases came before the superior
court Of Kent county at its next term.
But there appears TO be hitch, it
being alleged that the sheriff has been
advised that writ does not always act
as a supersedeaa and that therefore it
is question whether the men may be
released on bail In the opinion of
Secretary Millikin Of the Delaware
Single Tax Association this advice was
given more through malice than ignor-
ance. Judge Wales in his decision in
the Haggarty case had said that the
certiorari would act as a supersedeas
and the men could be admitted to bail
pending decision.

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 10. The ther-
mometer made its regular score of 106
degrees yesterday. The Ared-hot air
does not perceptably cool off until long
after midnight. Wagon loads of negroes
continue to leave town TO pick cotton.
This movement is exactly one month
earlier than usual. This means that
cotton has prematurely opened and will
all be picked by September 10Th. 1t
generally takes to February LIST to
gather all the crop. but this year it
will be at the gin houses by October
LIST. Many buyers who have ready
money are collecting at the country
towns, swapping up every bale offered
at present prices. They say they intend
holding until spring. believing cotton
will then be worth more money.
