Canty, the business partner of Mr. Van Senden, was also arrestea as a party to the transaction. The de- fendants were ar before Judge Kimball this afte and each held under bond of $5,000 for embezzle- ment and $1,000 for setting up a gaming table. Henry Hiney, a business man here, went on the bond offthe accused, and Judge Kimball fixed the 9th of September for a pre- liminary examination, The accused refused to make any statement at this time, but the com- plainants say that the firm of Canty & Uo., of which Van Senden was the “company,” has bee from time to time intrusted by them with consid erable sums of money for the pur- pose of speculating in stocks for Messrs. Wilkins and Emrich. It is further stated that there are lik to be several other charges filed against both defendants, and that tse total amount inyolved will be about $15,000.

HE WAS A BAD "UN, ‘Was Mad Because They Searched Him, HIS PROFANITY 1S ORIGINAL. Sam Casey is the name of a one armed young tovgh of Graves county, twelve miles from Mayfield, who is a very bad fellow to run against when he gets a few drinks ahead. At least this is what Officer Albert Senser thinks, and he ought to know, for the young one-armed pugilist dealt him a blow last night which made the officer’s eye quite black. Officers Smedley and Senser were informed that Casey had a gun, and called him from Ida French’s es- tablishment on West Court street. He gave vent to a broadside of indig- nation because they searched him, and as you know, if you've ever ‘‘sassed’’ a policeman, what they did was a plenty. He was taken to the lockup, and swore a blue streak all the way down. Judge Sanders and several others heard him, and the Jadge stated this morning that Casey used the most original profanity he ever heard, and applied epitiets 10 all policemen in general which would make Brann ashamed of himself. When a detachment of policemen and several citizens were relegating the one-a:zmed demon to the lockup, he jerked loose from Chief Singezy and struck Officer Senser in the eye. It is fortunate for him that he got off with a $5 fine this morning in the police court. AMENDED AKTICLES.
