STOP THE THIEVES
LAST NIGHT, the warehouse of the subscriber at the Grand Lake and
Bayou Mason Landing on the Mississippi river, was broken open, and
the following articles stolen there from, viz: One Shotgun, one
Rifle, one big Coat, one pair kip Boots, one fine fur Hat, some
Liquors, and one leathern Trunk, contents unknown. This was done by
three white men, who had been chopping wood for me for some time
past. The trunk was carried to their camp, where they worked, and
there broken open and riffled of its contents, except a few articles
which were left in it. All the property stolen (except the guns)
belonged to J.W. Willison.
One of the men called his name JAMES LAZIM JOHNSON, and is a tall,
rough-looking fellow, and rather dark skin; said he lived on the
Cut-off, on White river, that he has a family, and that he had
formerly piloted Montgomery's steam boats; and appeared to be well
acquainted at the Mouth of White river.
Another was called JOE JOHNSON, is a small-sized, yellow
complexioned man, has the appearance of a sailor, and wore a low
pressure white-hat.
The other's name is JAMES PATTERSON, a tolerably sized, thick,
heavy-set man, and of swarthy appearance.
They made up the bank of the Mississippi river, from my house, and
it is probable will go up the Arkansas or White river - probably to
Batesville.
Fifty Dollars reward will be given for all of them, or any one of
them, delivered to me, and as many of the articles as can be
obtained.

DIED, At his residence in Franklin township, Union county, State

Ogden, after a long and painful illness, which he bore with
Christian fortitude to the last moments of his life, and died
apparently in that faith which bears a Christian triumphant to a
happy eternity. Society is bereft of a faithful member and one who
has set forth the brightest examples to all who had the pleasure of
his acquaintance. Suffice it to say, that he has lived to a good old
age, and supported a character unblemished; and, the greater part of
his life, he has been a minister of the Gospel in the Methodist
Church, and enjoyed a full share of the Christian religion. O! that
the whole human family were as sure of a happy eternity.

the murder of Carter Clifft, of Fayette county, Tennessee, in

Said Quillon is about 45 years of age, thin visage, about 5 feet 9
inches high, slender built, and weighs about 145 lbs. His general
appearance is unpossessing, and savage, from a practice of allowing
his hair to grow long and shaggy. He was formerly connected with a
gang of murderers and counterfeiters in Missouri, and broke jail in
that State, and made his escape to this country.
A reward of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS will be paid for his apprehension
