preaching. They pursued him some dis
lance to Il briar patch, where the mis-
creant Guided them.
They separated and continued the
search. They routed him from his hid
ing place. and he again showed Il clean
pair of heels and made his escape III Il
cane brake.
Although the negro had Guided them,
he was recognized rs a strange negro
who had been seen in that locality for
some time past. He had Il peculiar gait,
and this feature gave away his identity.
The neighborhood was aroused and Il
g%ener;5l pursuit instituted. The aunt
was continued all that afternoon and

| woods were secured and the roads
| watched. the wretch could not be APP
