Wilson Dick, a boras sad wagoo and two bales of stolen eottoo were cap ored in the outskirts of the elty between I and 8 o'clock this ssoroing, but Dick's confederate, John Brooke, saade bis escape. It .as by the sssrsat accident tbst the polieemeo got oa the track of the thieves and tbey deserve credit for tba promptness with which thsy acted, far otherwise the tbievss would hava escaped wltb tbc cotton. Policemen Weeks went down near ibe depot to look sftsr a drnok man reported to be asleep andsr a bos car, and sftst waking aim sad Sedtag tbat be was not drunk enough to be arraatad, bed started to return to bis beat, when a negro man came ranbing across the lote and told him be was looking for a policeman. This negro stated tbat be had just seen two negro ssen with two bales of cotton ao a oos-bore* wagon on the old abandoned roadway of tbc 0. 8. k If. going toward Mr. Orabam's farm, and tbat their accouat of their presence tbers wae suspi? cions Mr. Weeks hurried an to the guard bouee and calling Policeman Barwlek to bit assist* asce armed ihsmeslvss with riflee and set out in pursuit of the wagon. Tbey came up with the wagon In the edge of Turkey creek swamp on the hack part of Mr. Graham's fares Tbey baited lbs nsgroes and covered item with the ht*s, bnt the one on the off side of tb* wagoo made a break for the s *amp sad escaped into the undergrowth. Policeman Btrwick 6red at him several times, but did not bring bim dowo. The other negro, who was identified M Wilson Dick, was arrested and be and the bnrs*, wagon and cotton were brought to the guard house Dick says that his. companion ?.? Jobo Brooks, a negro wbom he hud known b it a short tiune Dick's story is that Brooks eogagtd bim to haul the cotton and tcld bio to have his wagon by the railroad, near the site of Brunson'sold sash and blind factory, at U o'clock last night He was there at the hour and watted until after the night freight on the Central K. R. bai passed. Brook - men came to bim aod told bim to go a short di'tanre up the track to get the cotton The two bates were found lyng beside the fail about fifty yards apart Taey leaded itif cotton on the wagon and were leaving the vL'toity of the town by the sboneai ronte. Nothing is known of Brooks, who made bis escape, nnt Dick is a firmer mho b-e livel near tbo Poor House curio ? the past year. It is evident ihn the two neuroep ri?d a confedeiate on t"" train who threw r.ff the cotton for i Via to banl away, for it is not probable that Brooks could have thrown it ff b mself and tben jjmped off while tb" train was under full headway It is though) ?hn theie men may know something abou the two btlfg of cotton stolen from a box act near ibe People's Ice Farcy a few wrk ?go, but Dick claims to know nothing abou* the sanit?r and in the tbeft U-t niabt had no par. except as ao employe of Brooks Brooke baj probably mad* good his escape, and will leave this county io avoid arres'..
