A most exciting race occurred
fr >m the court-house out toward
the forest in the east rn part ot
town last Tuesday afternoon. The
occasion that gave rise to all the
excitement, which was witnessed
by nearly everyUidy in town was;
as follows: A man by tin' name
of Charles Ogletroe, with his wife
and invalid mother, w s passing
through town, moving to * Mr,
Hulseys somewlv re above town
to live. Last TlmiHday a little
boy hailing from Atlanta, by the
name ot Charley Tilton, about 10
years of ng», a news boy, the son
of a widow Tilton, called at the
house of the Ogle trees, about six
iniics south of Dallas, on tl>e
widow Lester's place, near Pop
lar Springs Church, aud anted to
stay with them, saying that he
was an orphan boy, and that lie
lived with his aunt in Atlauta,and
that sho abused him r.o unmercr
fully lie coui I not stay auy lon
ger, lieuce be fl- d and made his
way this far from home. They
consented for him to remain
wb.re ho seemed to be contented
until Tuesday morning, when, u
the family were m 'king prepara
tious to have the Lester place, as
above stated, the little fello
stepped out and disappeared, and
the family had no knowledge of
what direction he lmd taken until
as they were travelling along qui
etly near New Coanan church,
the son and husband, Cbas. Ogle-
tree, was arrested by Bailiff Sum-
merbill upon a warrant sworn out
by the boy, ch rging him with
kidnapping the boy from Atlanta,
and forcibly detaining him. While
the ma'ter was undergoing inves
tigation at the court-house the
pool fellow Ggletree was almost
scared out <>f his wits, and some
one dropped the hint that it would
be a safe plan to take leg bail,aud
he did not take time to weigh the
matt, r long ere he lit out, and he
did not stand on the order .of his
lighting, for like a brisk wind lie
swept the fields, followed by his
faithful bailiff aud one or tw:>
others, but soon he distanced all
followers aud gaining the wood
land about a naif mile away to
the east he was quickly absorbed
in the dark impenetrable wilder
ness and no doubt made good his
escape.
The boy, Charley Tilton, gives
another \irsion to the affair, aud
tnere. Ah the | n gramme war curried J accounts for his pres-nce in the
out barmouiuueiy. i.ot au incident mj county quite at variance from ihe
mar tl,e pitaiurrb'eitMs of the o.cs- above. He says he was hired to
li n, whieh speak* wei 1 f r ihe a..- assist in driving a cow out from
g oee of TauMin^ County. beyond West End Atlanta, and
lured on until out in the country,
and the men Ogletree compelled
him to accompany him home to
this county under threat of killing
Kim, and that he escaped Tut a*
day morning, the first opportuni
ty presoutiug itself
The Atlanta papers of last
Thursday or Friday con tuned an
account of tha unaccountable dis
appearance of a small boy answer-
iug this little fellows description,
and now that he has been secured
and sent book 11 Atlanta, and
home, we trust that the broken
hearted mother has ere this been
made to rejoice over the return
of her lost boy. But now to the
poor afflicted mother an>l the
heartbroken wife of Ogletree. At
this writing he is still gone, and
they are hero upon the cold char
ity of a diftin eres ed people.
Something must be done, there is
but one answer, should Ogletiee
keep going uuder his present p m-
ic, then we have an alms-house,
the “dernier resort" iu all snob
oases, and for which it was partly
establshed.

We have a :iew apecies of ckim-
uey sweepers; Thursday night,
J nly 26th., Mr. Cochran and fam
ily being away from home, the
rope was taken off the well and
fasten'd to the top of the chim
ney of Mr. Coohrau's dwelling,
aud by the r«pe the sweeper let
himself down into the house, aud
endeavored to open the door
leading into the store loom, but
his efforts were in vain. He then
perused the trunks, beds, ami
house generally, we suppose for
tnouny, but finding nothing that
lie d< sired to take,opened the door
and weut quietly away, W* know
not where. He did not have on
any shoes, and jitiLing from his
smutty fo< tprint* on the fl'ior, we
doubt him getting any k large
enough for him.
