On April 2nd a well dressed and I plausible young man, who said his j name was J. T. Poole, of Wadesbco, X. C., hired a horse and buggy from Langston's stable in Manning. He en? gaged the turnout for a week, repre? senting that he was a traveling man who had to call on a number of cus timers in the country. On Tuesday he arrived in this city and going to the Sumter Transfer Company offered to sell the turnout to Mr. C. W. Stan sill. He told Mr. Stansill that he was a traveling agent and had completed his work in this section and was pre? paring to return to his home in Wadesboro, X. C. He offered to sell the turnout for $125, as an induce? ment for a quick sale. He said that he knew the turnout was worth more, but he had no further use for it and did not want to pay freight on it to Wadesboro. Mr. Stansill refused to buy as he thought the price too low, and suspected something crooked. Poole then offered to.take $75 and Mr. Stansill still refused to buy. He left the stable, but soon afterward sold the turnout to Mr. J. J. Kolb for $70. On the Sth instant Mr. Langston ap? peared in town searching for his team. 'Ho had received a letter from Poole informing him that he (Poole) had left "The team Tritfc & J- Kolb, as he ' . . .- : Ni';.--. could not get back to Manning. The letter also said that if Mr. Langston did not know Mr. Kolb, Mr. Stansill could tell him where to find him. Mr. Langston was surprised to ? learn that Poole had sold the horse to Mr. Koib, but he had no difficulty in j proving his title to the team and re? covering it from Mr. Kolb. This left Mr. Kolb out $70, and he offered a re- J ward of $25 for the capture of Poole. Mr. Stansill undertook to find him and after some difficulty he succeeded in getting possession of a letter that Poole had written a woman in Claren? den county. In this letter he said that he was sorry to hear that the sheriff was trying to get him, but that made no difference as they would never catch him. The letter was signed J. F, Barotte and postmarked Denmark. A telegram was sent to the chief of police of Denmark and the horse thief was arrested there Wednesday night. Officer Owens went to Denmark Friday morning and Poole, alias Barotte, was brought to the city on the afternoon train. BASEBALL. Sumter to Have a Team-League Has Been Organized.

I Early this week Clerk of Court L. ' I. Parrott issued a rule made returna : ble yesterday to show cause why the ! bonds in the two cases against Geo. I W. Murray and in the case of the State j vs. Eugene Hogan, Jr.. should not be declared forfeited and estreated. In the case of the State vs. Murray for forgery the bond was fixed at $2,000 with H. J. Harby and R. L. Wright as sureties. Mr. H. J. Harby j is the bondsman in the case against Murray for perjury. The amount o? the bond being $600; Messrs W. B. Boyle and Eugene Hogan, Sr.. are the bondsmen in the bond fixed at $1,000 in the case of the State vs. Hogan. Yesterday the bondsmen appeared and made their returns, which the court held insufficient, and ordered the bonds estreated and forfeited. Clerk Parrott was instructed to issue another rule to show cause why exe? cution should not be issued to satisfy the bonds above mentioned. This rule was made returnable at the next term of court. COURT PROCEEDINGS. Davis vs. Wilder Decided in Favor of Plaintiff. What was possibly one of'the hard? est fought cases that has ever been tried in Sumter was concluded Wed? nesday after very heated arguments were made by counsel engaged. The action was brought by Ellen Davis to recover possession of property, which she alleged was illegally held from her by Joseph Wilder. Some very close points of law were brought out in the case, and were all ruled upon by his honor, Judge Gary. John H. Clifton, Esq., represented the plaintiff and L. D. Jennings, Esa., was present for the defense. After a very short delibera? tion, the jury reached a verdict, find? ing for the plaintiff the entire land in dispute. Owing to the absence of Judge Earnest Gary, who was called to Co? lumbia to fill an important engage? ment, the Court of Common Pleas did not convene Thursday. Wednesday the case of the Sumter Dry Goods Company vs. the Sumter Transfer Company, an action to re? cover damages for the loss of goods, was heard. Col. R. D. Lee presented the plaintiff's case, and L. D. Jennings, Esq., conducted the defense. The ver? dict was in favor of the plaintiff for the entire amount sued for. On last Saturday morning. I just before the noon recess of the Court of Common Pleas the jury in the case of McDaniel vs. the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company return? ed a verdict of $6,500 in favor of the plaintiff. This action was brought by the widow of McDaniel (colored) to recover damages against the company for negligently and carelessly killing her husband at Florence about 4 years ago. The case has been pending for four years, during which time the courts have been trying to determine the lawful widow of the deceased. This having been established the action was brought and resulted as above in? dicated. The plaintiff was represent? ed by Col. R. D. Lee and the defense was conducted by Mark Reynolds, and T. B. Fraser, Esqs. The jury in the case of Shaw & Mc Collum vs. the Sumter Transfer Co. reached a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the amount claimed on Monday afternoon. Goods, the prop? erty of the plaintiff, were alleged to have been lost through the negligence and careiessness of the defendant compnny. The attorneys engaged were Lee & Moise for defendant, and Mark Reynolds, Esq.. for the plaintiff. The current was turned on the arc light circuits Thursday night and the streets were lighted once more. The new enclosed arc lights are a great improvement on the old style lamps that have been in use for about twenty years. They give a more brilliant and more constant light. In th ; Recorder's Court. There were three cases of assault and battery on Recorder Hurst's dock? et on trial for Monday. The first was against John Deleon which ca.*e Re? corder Hui st dismissed. Officer Ow? ens made the arrest. Officer ''"ribble captured the other two offender.;. Christopher Gazes was one of thttse and he foi feited his bond of $5.00 by not appearing for trial. The case against Henry Patterson was postponed in order that the city might have time to procure more ma? terial witnesses. Paul Bannister and John Bracey were arrested for quarrelling: and cursing on the streets of the city, and I were required by Officer Owens to ap? pear for trial before Recorder Hurst ! yesterday. They were convicted and sentenced to pay respectively fines of S3.00 and 81.00. The case against John Ridyell, charged with assaulting Henry Hol? land with a knife, was dismissed for want of sufficient evidence. Officer Boykin is credited with the arrest. The same officer arrested W. L. Grrgg for disorderly conduct. He plead guiltv and was sentenced f^ v*^ a fine of 810.00 or to go to thi - for 30 days.
