  George A. Holliman, late of Southampton county, a young man of prepossessing 
appearance, is under arrest here on the serious charge of stealing a mule and 
wagon, valued at $300, the property of Mr. George W. Congdon, of Chesterfield 
county.  The team was stolen while standing in the street in this city on the 
night of the 10th of September.  It was discovered by the police a day or two 
ago that the mule had been traded for a horse in Sussex, and the wagon for a 
sulky in Prince George, to both of which the prisoner confesses.  He 
implicates others in the theft.
