The police authorities at this
place received a telephone message
from Lewisburg last Monday night,
asking them TO stop a man by the
name of Ct. Howell, who had hired a
horse from a man at Duncanville,
Marshall county, saying he was go
ing to Bryant's station and return;
but instead of doing so had passed
on by there, saying he was going to
Nashville. Upon investigation, the
officers found that the man had al
ready passed through this place, and
telephOned to Spring Hill to have
him stopped there. The man was
stopped at that place, and Officer
Goad went out and brought him and
the horse back to town. The man
was placed in Jail, and Wednesday
was carried to Marshall county.
The horse was restored to its owner.

There is no need to credit the
Spanish admiral with shrewdness
enough to dodge SIMPSONS and
Schley's fleets and make his way
to Havana or San Juan for a har-
Dor or some American coast city
for an attack. II he keeps his
ships in existence on top of the
water for many more days that will
be amply creditable to his skill as a
strategist. No greater task than
looking out for the preservation of
his ships from attack can he well
be expected to assume.
