north-bound passenger train, due
one hour afterwards, but the rattle

with alacrity. The boy bandit then
ordered the agent to turn his pock

all the money into a shot bag which
lay on the counter. The agent
glanced down the barrel of the pis

And now comes a sister of the woun

nearly twenty years Juts believed
him dead, making inquiries, anti
asking help, “for the sake of God,”
in finding her brother. The story
met her eye in a condensed shape
in the National Tribune, of Wash
ington, where it was credited to the
New York Times. As she found it,
it was as follows: The latest story
of the war might furnish a capital
plot for an American drama with
a little development. A South

in the Confederate army, recently
wrote for a newspaper an account
of a great battle, as he remembered

them was Robert Betliuno, a white
boy, 1- years old. The poy had been

made was so quick and full of deter
mination, that the robbery was
committed before they realized the
true situation of affairs, and their
amazement at the audacity of the
kid, and their fear of the firearm,
was supplanted by chagrin when all
was over. When the news reached
the city yesterday morning, Sheriff
Smith and deputy Lewis repaired to
the scene of the robbery, and the
result of the investigation was the
arrest of Lewis Miller. When tin*
officers approached it is hou.se, he
ran, but they pulled down 011 Him,
bringing him to a stand, and when
they took charge of him an English
bull dog pistol was found on Itjs per
son. He was taken to Hutchins,
anil was identified by the parties,
and was afterwards brought to this
city and lodged .hi jail as stated.
As he was being carried through the
streets to the jail, three young coun
trymen galloped up on horseback;
and spoke to him. After the jailer
had finished searching him, a Her
ald reporter had a talk with the
prisoner, lie insisted that he was
innocent of the crime with which
lie was charged, and said he could
readily prove an alibi, as lit* was at

alleged to have been committed.—

whom Bass objected to his going to

her, and expects to marry her.—
Since the stabbing affray, lie lias

and (.'lay counties, where lie worked

When the jailer opened the door, he
stalked into itis cell in a dogged
manner, and when the steel bolts
closed with a clash, he gazed at the
jailer defiantly for some time, and
then sat down as though lie would
ponder over the affair. It is said
that the young man conics of a good
