Local News. VKlJNtiSI'AY, OCT. S, Chasing a Thief. Senator Lntiiner was ouu of a posse ?in pursuit of a thief Sunday afternoon and .he was a foot. A telephone mes sage in the afternoon from Belton car ried Jailor S. J. Davis and Deputy Allen Emmerson on the afternoon train to the Senator's homo. Two blood hounds had boen secured from the con vict camp to take with them. Early in the afternoon it was reported to the Senator that a thief had entered an outhouse on hi? premise?, stealing some clothing, and he at once notified Sherill' Green. When the deputies with their dogs arrived tho Senator joined in tho chnse and stayed to the finish. The trail led across the railroad track hut it was thought the thief intended to come hack to the track lower down and the track was followed for some dis 1 ince, tho dogs being held in check. This proved to be the wrong move, and after considerable "beating about" the trail was struck in the pasture at Capt. A. JJ. llird's home. Fora distance of two miles the chase gave promise of be ing lively; the dogs "opened" well for a while but soon "got bothered." Tho Senator sont for his horse und was eager to continue the hunt, but it was decided to abandon it. Indications point conclusively to the fact that this thief and our recent bicy cle thief, who gave Policeman Davis such a chase some time ago are one and the same. He is now well known, and the descriptions answer perfectly. Since bis episode in this city he has been operating from Williamston to Belton, lie made several thefts from ?Lores in Williamston, entered two dwellings between Williamston and Belton, stole a mule Saturday morning of last week in the Calhoun section, turning it loose after riding it as far as desired, has been chased by the consta bles of Williamston and Belton, and winds up Sunday with a posse and ?blood hounds after him headed by our United States Senator.
