The populace arc fearful lest
these friends of his may come here some

colleagues break for the prison and release
him with as many more as they see fit.
Property owners would -rather have Big
Ftank released, and most of them are will

A colored man named Charley Brown
was arrested in town on Tuesday last for
stealing clothes valued at $25, and $50 in

was released from jail last court he had
better not return here, he struck the officer
under the ear felling him to the ground,
made his escape across the marshes,'and
becoming entangled in the mud, be threw
off all his clothing except his shirt, by this
