RESULTED IN A COMPROMISE.

Arthur and John Arnold, sons
of Ellis Arnold, were arrested IN
the tenth district by Constable j..
7. Cuff Monday and placed in jail
here. The boys are charged with
stealing corn from George Sarrett.
It seems that Mr.. Sarrett has
been missing corn, and Saturday
morning he made the discovery
that his crib had been entered
again and small amount of corn
taken. One of Mr.. Sarretts neigh
bors, Hon. j. M. Lashlee, owns a
fine pack of young bloodhounds,
and for an experiment the hounds
were put on the trail leading from
the crib, The dogs at once led to
the shanty of the Arnold boys,
where it is alleged small amount
of corn was found, but no one was
at home. The dogs then led to
mill near by where one of the Ar
mold boys had carried some corr
to be ground.
Mr.. Sarrett went to the mill anC
asked Arnold where he got the
corn, and he said he bought it o.
a Mr.. Cantrell. When called W
by telephone, Mr.. Cantrell stated
that this was not true. 1t seeml
the boys made other conflicting
statements concerning the matter
and their arrest followed.
A compromise was effected yes
~terday, and the case did not com
to trial.
