George Cupp returned last Sum
day from Ironton with his blood
hounds. For two days he worked
with the dogs to locate William
and Arthur Spaugh, the murderers
of the sheriff of Iron county, but
unsuccessfully. The animals ar
rived at the place too late to be of
much service. However, they did
other work while there that was of
use to the officers. The Spaughs
were captured in a farm cabin ten
miles east of Ironton Wednesday
morning at about $50, after a
pitched battle in which one of
them was wounded in the arm.
They were safely conveyed to and
placed in the Jail at Ironton to
await trial. Mr.. Cupp was well
pleased with his trip and the treat
ment given him by the Iron coun-
ty officers and citizens.-Charleston
