Bartow Warren stunt in a small
way. Early Friday morning this
enterprising pair walked into Mr.
T. A. Blakeley's store at Santee
Crossing and told the clerk they
wanted to buy some candy and
crackers. When the articles were
handed them they ''scooted" out ot
the store and in the hurry of de
I
I parture forgot to pay lor what they
| had bought. In a few minutes
j they hai reached the bav hard bv,
j where they thought themselves
sale from pnrsuit.
; After two hours and forty-five
: minutes had elapsed Mr, J. I. Mori
ris, the clerk, went to the chainIgang
camp and reported the mat!
ter to Oapt. 0. E. Wheeler, who
1 carried a bloodhound to the spot
and put her on the trail. Belle,
! the hound, at once took the trail.
| With unerring speed she followed
j the fleeing fugitives through bays,
1 swamps and rough woods for seven
miles, overhauling the two ras
cals about a quarter of a mile
from Genrdins. Without ceremony
they were captured and taken to
Salter's Depot before Magistrate
Salter*, who decreed that Caot.
Wheeler, as a reward for his
prompt action, should have the
pleasure of inducting them into
the mysteries of road-building for
the next thirty days.
