Thieves Sent TO Jail.

For two or three weeks the farmers
to the west of smyrna Samuel Bilder-
back, S. p. Truax, VI. T. Williams,
John Wood, E. W. Lapham and others
have been considerably disturbed by
the depredatiOns of thieves, the object
being something to eat-meat or
chickens. The matter eliminated, as
such things usually do, in the appre-
hension of the guilty parties, last week.
There were seven colOred men COM
planned against, but only two with the
necessary evidence to be held. These
were secured by Constable Goldsbor-
ough-El Briscoe, for stealing pork
from Samuel Bilderback, and Ananias
Waite, chickens from Thomas Reese.
In default of 5000 bail, they were com
mitted to Dover Jail by Squire Cooper.
Briscoe was disposed to be defiant
and said he was not going to be taken
before a Justice of the Peace, that dav.
but he held up his hands when he
found the constable was prepared for
him, while the attendant of the latter
put the cuffs on his wrists,
Waite confessed that he and others
had been feasting on chickens. The
officer found several places where
feathers were buried. They were
taken to Dover Jail Friday.
