We presume many of the readers of
the NEWS HERALD have already heard
that tie supposed thief who robbed
the house of j. M. Peabody, on the 9th
inst. had been arrested near Mara
thon on the following day for a SINH
lar offense committed in that vicinity
and is now in Georgetown Jail await
ing his trial. When arrested goods
similar to those missed by Mr.. Pea
body were found in his possession, and
on learning that fact Mr.. Peabody
went to where the goods were being
kept, accompanied by Squire T. M.
Ferguson, and found the overcoat, the
gun and two revolvers and identified
them at once and they were turned
over to him. The suit of clothes and
the gold ring are supposed to be rem
dering comfort or ornamentation to
the thief in Georgetown JAIL as he is
reported to be sporting a ring and
a suit of clothes corresponding to the
ones missed from the Peabody resi-
dence. When the Brown county au-
thorities are through with him we
want whack at him and expect to
get it.

adapted to the wants of beginners.
