Arrested at Last.
About two years ago James
Smith, a colored boy, gave Bill
Puckett a “fine run” of two miles
or more. Smith had raided the
chicken house of Mr. A. Knight
and the race occurred when the
officer attempted to arrest him.
Smith made good his escape and
Puckett never forgave him for car
rying him on such a chase. So he
resolved to nab him the first oppor
tunity he had. This opportunity
did not come until last Tuesday
when Pucketi saw his negro on the
streets of Cartersville and lost no
time in making the arrest. He is
now in jail awaiting committal
trial.
