Arrest of a Yonae Colored Mid. Charged with Breaking into a Sa loon. On the 23d of August one of the em ployees at Mr. Jos. H. NefFa Saloon, on South.

As soon as the door wan opened, and before the necessary steps : ' " could be taken to arrest him, McGary sue- ceeded in effecting his escape.

" ' which., was placed' in the hands tof an officer, but the accused could' not be found. Finally Justice Harriss received information to the effect that McGary had been seen at Flemington, Columbus county, whereupon ke sent the warrant to Justice H. B. Short, Jr. j of that place, for endorse ment and execution. ' Yesterday morning Justice Harriss received a letter from Jus tice Short, with the : warrant enclosed, sta ting that McGary bad left Flemington, and his whereabouts were not then known,' but shortly afterwards received a telegram from that official to the effect that McGary had returned, and requesting him to send back the warrant by . the conductor of the noon train. This was done, and subsequently Jus tice Harriss received a telegram stating that McGary had been 1 arrested and 'would ar rive here in the charge of an officer on the afternoon's train. Justice - Harriss had an officer at the depot when the-train camen and McGary . was taken in charge abd odged in . jail, to await an examination be fore his Court this morning at 10 o'cloqk.
