ELUDED ARREST
SEVERAL YEARS
MATTHEW LONG, WANTED IN
NORTH CAROLINA, WAS CAP
TURED RECENTLY BY U. s.
MARSHAL BUNpRIx NEAR ST.
AUGUSTINE.

One of the recent examples of the
certainty of ViolatorS OF the law being
apprehended by the government au-
thorities is shown in the arrest OF
NJ. Long, at st. Augustine, which took
place recently by Deputy Marshal
Bundrix, says the Jacksonville Me-
tropoIis.
The grand jury of the United States
district court of North Carolina
brought an Indictment against Long,
which alleged that he was guilty OF
violating the laws regarding the sale
OF liquor in October OF 1904. Fol-
lowing the indictment a warrant was
issued for Long on the 14th Of May,
1906, and since thai time the warrant
has been in the hands of the authori-
ties until served yesterday.
Long was given a preliminary hear
ing this morning and being unable to
furnish bond, an order for his removal
to North Carolina was issued. and he
will leave tonight for Raleigh in the
custody of Deputy Marshal Bundrix-
To a Metropolis reporter this morn
ing the prisoner said that he was pre-
viously arrested on the same charge
and placed in the Jail OF Columbus
county, North Carolina, and a short
time afterward he and a companion
effected their escape from Jail, and
since then he has been wandering
over the country. He said that he
thought the case had been thrown out
of court, and for that reason had be-
come careless. Long stated that
charge of selling liquor without a IL
cense was not considered a serious
offense in his home, and he was ready
to stand trial.

Many Of our readers will remember
that Ray went from here to Brooks

$4,000 interest in a saw mill at Okla

He was taken TO Ohio, where be

then to Mississippi, where he was
serving another term in the peniten-

Climax and bought the town-or

While in Wauchula Ray, or Hard

that he was only laying plans here tc
