THE EAST TENNESSEEAN July 2, 1858
July 2, 1858



Thieves Arrested---Our readers will remember of seeing a paragraph in our

paper some weeks since, stating that two men had hired of Mr. Ben. T. Johnson,

of this city, a couple of horses which they were to return in a day or two.

Failing to return the property, they put Mr. Johnson to the trouble of

traveling several hundred miles in search of them. He returned home yesterday,

bringing two horses and one of the thieves. One of these thieves is named

Richard W. Nichol, alias Bill White, and the other William Walker. Mr. Johnson

caught Nichol in Hamilton County, Tenn., and his confederate, Walker, in Meigs

County, Tenn., and found one of the horses at Knoxville, and the other at

Rome, Ga. He left Nichol at Cleveland, Tenn., where he has been imprisoned to

await his trial for counterfeiting, an indictment existing there against him

for that crime. Walker was yesterday imprisoned to await the next sitting of

the Criminal Court. The thieves acknowledged their guilt. Nashville Gazette.



Died---The Rev. Thomas Stringfield departed this life at his residence, in

Strawberry Plains, on the 12th of June, after a short illness.
