the knee, scraping the bone some
distance and coming out at the

dition

the fleeing negro. who returned the
fire, but without effect. Carter was
shot in the groin, but kept running,
finally being overtaken and placed
under arrest about three miles from
the scene.

groe's wound, finding the bullet had
imbeded itself more than five inches
from where it entered, and the man
was then taken to the General Hos
pital and afterwards to Jail.
Constable Brown was taken to his
home at New Texas, and attended by
DR.. A. H. Stubs, afterward going
to the General Hospital.
This is the first arrest in this
section for the unlawful sale of

ciates Constable Browns courage in
his stand for law enforcement, re-
GREETING sincerely his injury re-.
ceived.
The colored man was selling the
wet goods for Sc a quart. The
marked money was found on him
when taken to Jail. The arrest may

posit, bootlegging; William john
son, of Fairfield, disorderly conduct;

FIRE-BUG CAUGHT.
Lad Sets Fire To Straw Stack and
Robs Employer.

&.
Noah Mannin, aged II years, a
Virginian employed by w. M. Cecil
on his farm in the Woodlawn Sec
tion, set fire to a straw stack on the
premises Saturday morning during
the absence of his employer, and
then going to the dwelling proceed
ed to ransack the upper rooms.
Mrs. Cecil discovered the fire
started by the young fiend, and sue
ceeded in calling Frank and Theo-
dore Kelley, her nearest neighbors,
to her aid. The men hurried to the
scene and by the hardest kind of
work were enabled to keep the fire
from getting headway and communi-
eating to the barn, in close prox-
unity.
Meanwhile Mrs. Cecil returned to
the dwelling for her infant and dis
covered young Mannin ransacking
the house. She took up her baby,
secured her husbands revolver,
slipped quietly from the house
locked the door and told the men,
who could not leave the fire long
enough to capture the thief, for
fear of its gaining headway.
Mrs. Cecil returned to the house
in time to see Mannin crawl out
upon the porch roof. He had a
shot gun in his hand, and when he
saw the woman fired at her. For
tunately his precarious footing
made his aim poor, and the intended
victim escaped unharmed. The
plucky woman Immediately returned
fire with the revolver, shooting six
times at the young fire-bug and
would-be murderer as he slid down
the roof and ran into the corn field.
Sheriff Seth and his deputy were
telephoned for but did not put in an
appearance, the young culprit re-
naming in hiding until Monday,
when the aid of State Roads Police
man Macy, of this town, and three
other members of the force was en-
listed. The motor-poiicemen went to
the farm Monday afternoon and en-
tering the corn field from different
directions succeeded in locating and
capturing young Manain, who de-
spite the fact that he still had the
shot gun in his possession, offered
no resistance to the officers, who
took the culprit to Elkton Jail.
When searched the lad had sum
Of money, watch and other jewelry
that he had stolen from his employ
er.
The fight of the fire in the straw
stack proved the work of hours, as
no sooner was 1t smothered in one
place than it blazed up threatening
ly In another. Word finally was
spread through the neighborhood
and a large force Of willing workers
eventually succeeded in smothering
the flames. Watch was kept over
the stack, however, and this proved
a wise precaution as the flames
broke out again in the afternoon
but were subdued,

league, Harry Beers and other tax
payers of the Fourth district ap-
peared before the Board asking the
construction of permanent road
from Miller's Corner to Barksdale,
" miles. A delegation from the
Sixth district asked the gravelling
of the road from West Nottingham
Church to Magraw's Corner, about
1000 feet. The Commissioners
could not promise to build either OF
these roads at this time.

ARRESTED FOR CHICKEN
STEALING.
Young Sneak Thief Finally Landed
Behind Bars.

Young Sneak Thief Finally Landed
Behind Bars.
Loren Sarver, of near town, has
been arrested and lodged in Lam
caster Jail, charged with chicken
stealing. Residents of our town
and neighborhood have for weeks
past been missing their poultry and
suspicion finally pointed to young
Sarver, who travelled much at night
and had no visible means Of sup
port" He was finally caught with
the goods and placed behind the
bars.
Some weeks ago gold watch
was stolen from the dwelling Of
Mrs. Lillian Robertson, near town.
Last week Mrs. Robertson learned
that watch answering to the de-
scription of hers had been sold by
Sarver to party at Richardsmere
for small sum of money. She en-
listed the services of Deputy Macy,
of the State Roads police force and
going to Richardsmere proved prop
erty and recovered her stolen time
piece.
1t is probable that young Sarver
will be given time behind the bars
in which to consider some other
plan of livelihood than that of
stealing.
