Sheriff Coleman and Deputy Miller,
of Amelia county, arrived in this
city yesterday looking for Jesse Gill
lam, the negro who is wanted by the
Amelia authorities on the charge of
criminal assault and who was SUD
posed to have been under arrest
here.
Gillian has never been arrested
and 1t Is very probable that he has
not been in this vicinity. Therefore,
Chief of Police Reynolds was much
surprised man when the sheriff and
deputy walked into his Office yester-
day and announced that they had
come for the prisoner"
1t developed that Mr.. A. B.
Branch. OF this city, was told some
days ago that Gillian was here. He
telegraphed his brother who lives
in Amelia, and the brother communi-
Gated with Sheriff Coleman. With
out waiting TO ask any questions
OF the local authorities, the sheriff
and his deputy started for NewIort
News without delay and arrived here
yesterday. expecting to find Gillian
safely behind the bars.
Governor Montague has offered q
reward of 800 for the apprehension
OF Gillian and this fact may have
been to some degree responsible for
the readiness of the Amelia officers
to make trip here on such small
Drovocation.
The officers returned home last
night.

Hey, kid; just slip up the bar at
my door a minute will you so ! can

that cell over there"
The boy hesitated but Miller per
suaded him and promised TO go right
back. He was as good as his word and
after giving some books to another
prisoner he returned to his cell, and
told the boy to drop the bar.
However, Miller had taken the OPP
portunity while out to raise the bar to
the cell occupied by Herman Andrews,

Midland and as soon as the boy had
gone these latter two walked out, re-
leased Miller and all three fed. Fair

is a reckless driver, and often turns
corners on two wheels.

come to call on Mrs. Wood.

vorced from him. She contends his
