navy department was that the landing
party consisted Of 100 sailors who ard

sold-sheriff of Pulaski Came Here
Yesterday For Him.

IL. Reynolds, alias Smith, the
white man held in Jail here for two
months upon the charge of stealing
horse, will be tried for that offense in
Pulaski county instead of in Sumter.
The sheriff of Puslaski county came to
Americas yesterday and Reynolds,
alias Smith was turned over to him
and carried to Hawkinsyllle. It will
be remembered that some time ago q
stranger hired fine horse at LoYing's
stable and rode away. Three or four
DAYS later the very same animal was
sold to citizen of HawkInsville at q
nominal price. Reynolds was arrest
ed for the crime and has since been in
Jail in Americas, As the horse was
not stolen here, bat simply hired, the
charge did not hold good, and Rey-
nolds will stand trial in Pulaski coun-
ty where, it is alleged, he sold the
horse hired of Mr.. Loving. So far "a
known, this was the only felony case
yet developed for trial at this term Of
Sumter superior court, though there
will undoubtedly be others.
