rested Sedrick White, colored, who
several months ago escaped from the

silverware from the Talmage Hotel
in Rich Hill. Since making his get
away Sed had not been heard from
by the authorities until the sheriff re-
ceived the tip that he was visiting at
the home of some of his friends in
northeast Butler. As he was of the
draft age, it is quite possible that he
may have to face a Federal charge
for evading the draft.
