HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.
J. T. Poole. Alias J. F. Barotte, Who
Stole a Horse and Buggy from Man?
ning: and Sold Them Here Was Ar?
rested in Denmark.
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.

cordance with these instructions a col?

ESTREATMENT OF BONDS.
Action Now Being Taken to Have
Them Declared Forfeited.
j From The Daily Item April 21.
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.
