Mitchell Shepherd nabbed by Sheriff Beauchamp

Sheriff Beauchamp captured a negro by the name of Mitchell Shepherd in Monroe county last Tuesday who was indicted for a misdemeanor in this county.   The Negro went to South Georgia and dodged about until Christmas when he returned to Monroe to spend the holidays.  Our sheriff nabbed him before he had a chance to claim "Christmas gifts" on his folks.  Sheriff Beauchamp is a slick one.
