BOND-JUMPER IS APPREHENDED

At Walkerton, After, Sojourning tor Awhile at Newland. A couple of men were here from the backwoods of Kentucky Tuesday looking for a man on whose bond for bootlegging they had gone some time ago, but who had vamoosed. They had learned that their man was at Newland, and in company with Deputy Sheriff Childers and Harve Moore, they drove up to Newland, only to find that their man had gone to Wheatfield a short time before. They followed on to Wheatfield, but found on reaching there he had taken a train about 16 minutes before their arrival. They overhauled him, however, by telegraphing ahead, to Walkerton, and then drove on to that place and brought their prisoner back to Rensselaer, placing him in jail here until the 1:40 train Wednesday morning, when they left for Kentucky, marching the bondjumper down the middle of the street In front of them all the way to the station, and the latter knew well enough, evidently, not to make any attempt to use his legs in an effort to escape.
