Middle Ga Argus
HELD FOR MURDER
SAM BLAND

Sam  Bland was arrested last Saturday and is now in Brunswick jail awaiting the 
result of wounds inflicted upon the person of Dan Nosworthy, on the night of 
the 18th ult.  Nosworthy is the man that was supposed to have been near O’Brien 
last week, by an engine on the East Tennessee road.  Later information says the 
wounds were inflicted by Bland, and not by the engine.  The engineer discovered 
him lying by the side of the road, and stopped his train and brought the 
wounded man to Jesup.   He is in a critical condition, and Bland is in jail 
awaiting the result.  Nosworthy, who first gave his names as Nos (and so 
published in our last issue), is a native of Butts County in this state.  Bland 
is a native of North Carolina.  We have been unable to ascertain the full 
particulars – Jesup Sentinnel.
