The Marietta Journal January 3, 1907
On Friday night Mr. Charley Johnson, who lives on Roswell street in one of the 
Frey houses, about 8 o’clock had been doctoring a sick cow. At 2 o’clock he 
went out to see how she was getting along and she was missing. He got a lantern 
and tracked her and footprints of a man out Waddell street to Atlanta street. 
There he summoned Sheriff Frey, who hitched up his horse and they followed the 
tracks of the man and cow until they reached the corporate limits of Atlanta 
about 5 o’clock Saturday morning, where they overtook the thief with the cow. 
His name is Butler Jones, colored, about 23 years of age and whose home is in 
this city. Sheriff Frey returned to the city on an electric car with the negro 
by 7 o’clock and placed him in jail.
