The gentleman swore out a warrant in Squire Mains court for i've Of the boys charging them with carrying away and conceal ing his daughter. Two of the boys were arrested and brought into court but they took d change of venue to Squire Buseler's court. After brief examination it was learned from the testimony of the father that the girls were beyond the age of abduction and were discha harged. The Squire issued warrant for the arrest of the girls and after hunt of three or four days they were arrested by deputy sheriff Black burn and taken before circuit court Tn session at Bentonville. Judge Till man sent them weeping and repen- tant home to their parents, at Pine- vile.
 The boys have all returned. and hereafter will no doubt remain aloof from runaway girls. So everything is quieting down again.
