Miss Addie Barnhart had "Bill" Proudfoot arrested last Saturday, on a charge of bastardy. The warrant was issued by Justice Lemley and placed in the hands of Constable Holland, who after a lively tussle and with the aid of help succeeded in making the arrest and getting Proudfoot in the presence of the Justice, who was going to bind him over to appear at court, under a bond of $500, and while the Constable was out with him hunting up bondsmen he skipped, and they took a lively race around the square until landed in a brush pile in the rear of the school house, where he was overhauled by the Constable. After this Proudfoot tried to compromise, but the fair Addie would have nothing to do with him while in a state of intoxication, and guards were put over him until Monday morning, but he concluded he would like to sniff the air of Ohio and accordingly gave the guards the slip and he could have been seen the next morning sitting on a log opposite this place, deeply interested in singing that old and familiar song "Baby Mine."

On Monday a compromise was effected and Billy Proudfoot is a happy man, and through, to a certain extent with his "trials here below."
