ROY REED CAUGHT AT LAST.

4 Roy Reed, who was indicted at the
last October term of the Grand Jury
and for whom the County authorities
have been in constant search, was APP
pretended under rather curious cir
cumstances. Reed fled from the
county Immediately after the war
rent was issued for him, and after
about four months was located in
Philadelphia. AS the Philadelphia
authorities were about to arrest him
he fled. About week ago Jennings
Weller while passing through Allan
i tic City, located him at the Continen-
tai Hotel in said city, and on arriv-
ing in Charles Town, Weller prompt
ly communicated this fact to the
Prosecuting Attorney, who sent We'll
Ter back to Atlantic City armed with
the necessary warrant, picture and
description of Reed. Prior to the
arrival. of Weller in Atlantic City,
Reed had been warned of the pro-
posed arrest and had given up his
job, but Weller and the officer waited
around the hotel all day and about
! 9 80 at night Reed came back to thte
hotel to get his clothing which he had
left there in his hurried departure.
By agreement between the Prescott
ing Attorney, the Chief of Police of
Atlantic City and Weller, Weller was
to receive $500 of the reward and the
Chief of Police of Atlantic City 500.
Two hundred dollars of this reward
was put up by the County Court, and
5000 came from private fund kind
ly offered by Governor Cornwell at
the request of the Prosecuting Attor-
ney, to assist in the detection of
criminals. Requisition being deman-
ded for Reed the necessary papers
were filed by the Prosecuting Attor-
ney, signed by Governor Cornwell
| and duly delivered in person to Gov
ernor Edwards, at Trenton, New Jer-
sey, who approved them, by officers
Jas. A Smith and w. B. Alder, who
brought the prisoner back to Charles
Town. Reed persists in the strange
statement that he was hired by an
unknown white man to take the cat
| tie away.

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance of our be-
loved mother, Mrs. M. J. Hedges, who
departed this life September goth,
1919, one year ago today.
We watched her breathing through
the night,
Her breathing, soft and low;
AS in her breast the wave of life
Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently w eseemed to speak,
So slowly moved about,
AS we had lent her half our powers
To exc her living out.
But when the morn came dim and sad
And chilled with early showers,
Her eyelids closed-she had heard
the voice of Jesus say
Come unto me and rest.
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast.
She went to Jesus as she was,
Weary, worn and sad,
She has found in Him resting place
And now we know she is glad.
By her Children.
