tor said:
The pure election bill Is In tho hands

Ing arrested by Deputy Sheriff Charles
Hungerford at his home on South Third
Street. He was carried to the city jail,
where at a late hour last night he still
remained. having failed to give the nee
essary bail.
MIR. Graves was arrested on a capias
issued by Judge Wexford at the instance
Of ]. l.. James, trading as the Richmond
Watch Company, who alleged that Graves
is indebted to him to the amount of s51.
and Intends leaving the State for the pur-
pose Of avoiding payment.
Lately Graves has been employed by a
mining company in West Virginia, but.
it is clainac by his friends. has MAIN
tained his dcnce in Richmond his wife
continuing TO live here. They. therefore.
look upon the charge as unfounded.
1t seems that some time ago Mr.. Graves
purchased some goods from the Richmond
Watch Company on the instalment plan.
Shortly he lost his position and later
ent to West Virginia, where he secured
a position In the mines. 2.
Here he made such good impression
that he was appointed a drummer. He
