(I VOL XXVI. fifS 1 KI T/*: i it i> Kin jl. r. xvunuaii Druu^iiirrum r* Florida UNDER SEVERAL CHARGES '? ^ One Charge of Disposing of Horse and Buggy,?Another in Passing Bogus Notes,?Man Formerly Lived Here,?Was a Decorator and Furniture Maker,?Later Soli Lightning Rods. Sheritl J. A. Lewis went to Lakeland, Fla , last week and returned heie on Sunday with T. F. Kimbal who was lodged in jail to await tria on several charges pending against hm. Tho defendant is well remembered by the citizens of the town and perhaps many people in the country who had business dealings with him while lie was resident here for several years and up to abou 1008 when he left under a cloud. T. F. Kimball lived here for several years before the year he left and at first was engaged in wall pa uering, upholstering and the like" lie ran out of this and at the time lie left had been engaged for a year or two in the sale and erection of lightning rods. Some i months be? > ? ' * i U ? ? ,. y-1 ? ' lore D0 l(;It in iwo, lie uurruwcu a horse and buggy from W. S. McCaslf ill and he was to use this in his business free of charge for the feed and care of the animal. In the course of time Kimball disappeared taking the horse ard buggy with him. He was located at fcicranton, 8. C., where his brother in law C. F. Kamrow was ehief of Police. He left Scrauton before the officers got him under the warrant which was bworn out by Mr. McCaskell, charging with disposing of the horse and buggy.- lfnom that point he was A traced to various places, but he was never caught uritil lately the sheriff' slipped up on him at Lakeland, Fla. Tne other etiargo against him at this time grows out of a transaction concerning some notes he took in the course of his lightning rod business. It is charged that he had coi lected uearly all that was due on those notes and traded the notes lator for their full face value. When Kimball arrived with the sheriff on tha noon-day train last .Suuday, there wore many of his former acquaintances who met him, and seme of theoi visited him in the jail. He is an intelligent talker and shows by his observation that he has travelled a good deal over the world. Ho states that ho has a receipt or acknowledgement of part payment on the horse and that he has this in his pocket. He also explains the transaction concerning the notes, but whether these will stand him as a good defense in court or not, the Herald reporter does nob know. Gurley Locals. Gurley, S C.
