one Of the most exciting chases
ever to take place in. Marion county

ted by. Justice Tothman, Of Farming

The two prisoners got into a tight
at Pennington yesterday and both
drew guns and would have fired II
they had not been prevented. Con-
stable Straight was summoned and
turon the arrival of the officer both
men ran and Richardson was chased
into a creek, defyingf the officer to
arrest him and with the water up to
his neck he stood cursing the consta-
BILE. This did not stop Straight, who
plunged into the creek with his clothes
on and brought the man by force to
the bank. He then turned over the
prisoner to one of the crowd which
had collected and went after Douglass,
whom he succeeded in capturing after
miles Of run through the woods. He
then lfandcuffedf the men and took
them before Justice 7yoothman, who
committed them to the Marion county
Jail here: n
From many standpoints this Is the
most daring arrest that tlias been made
by any officer in Marion county for
the past several years emonstrating
that when Officer Straight goes alter
his man that he will land him regard

way, or how much resistance he might
