Sept. 6, 1826  North Carolina Journal September 6, 1826
 -- A man by the name of WILLIAM L. WOLF, notorious for his crimes, and who 
has been a tenant in several of the jails in the State, was arrested in 
Raleigh on Wednesday night by the City Guard. He was last confined in 
Granville jail, on a charge of horse-stealing, but he broke out of prison, and 
has been absent from the State ever since, about 18 months. He resisted, most 
desperately, the attempt of the Guard to secure him. He stabbed one of the 
town constables, BOBBIT, twice with a long knife, and was collecting his 
stength to repeat the thrust, when some one struck the knife with a stick and 
snapped it. -- He was then conquered and taken to the jail. We are glad to 
state that BOBBITT, who is one of our most fearless officers is not 
dangerously wounded. -- Raleigh Register
