Duke Mallet Arrested

The store of A. G. Hitchins was broken into Sunday night. One Mallet Duke was suspicioned and the Marshall J. B. Moore tried to arrest him but the Negro burnt the wind and the Marshall wasn't in it. Later in the day Clifford Beauchamp went to McCord's pond for the purpose of fishing and saw Mallet at that place and placed him under arrest, two pistols that were found on him were identified by J. P. Ray. He was bound over by F. Z. Curry on a bond of $800. He was committed to jail to await court in default of bond.
