SAM HUNTER ARRESTED.

Taken to Logansport on a Warrant Charging Larceny.

Samuel Hunter, field agent for John F Judy, who is well known in this vicinity, was arrested last Friday evening as he was about to take the train for Williamsport, Detective Silas Morgan, of Logansport, making the arrest. He was taken to Logansport and was arrainged before Judge Guthrie, the charge being grand larceny. John W. Biggs made the affidavit and he alleges that on Thursday evening Hunter took a team of horses belonging to him. The story is to the effect that Richard Biggs, son of the affiant, bought a team from Mr. Judy about a year ago. The mortgage given by him covered the team that he had just purchased and another owned by his father. When Mr. Biggs heard of the son’s purchase, it is said, he made him return the property. The young man then went to work for Mr. Judy, working for eight months in the effort to square accounts. The elder Mr. Biggs claims that the team taken on last Thursday night belonged to him and was not the Judy property.
