He never loses the trail of a fugitive from Justice. He never quits working to capture them until they are caught. In celebration of his birtday he is Bonding a deputy to Winston-Salem. N. C.. for Johnson Benson, charged with larcency from the field; and another deputy to Huntavllle, Ala., for a white man by the name of Brown Simpson, charged with disposing of pronerty under lien.
