DESERTER.

One night, as Nimrod Haddox was returning from mill, he observed, when near his house, a man carrying something on a pole. The next day, Cox came to him and said some one had stolen his beehive last night. They were in their stocking feet, and the tracks made in the mud were traced to a house occupied by a notorious character named Powers. It appears that about a year prior to this, Powers had stolen a mare from Cox, and gone to Virginia; had sold the animal in the neighborhood of Paint, and she had returned to her former owner. Powers, learning that Nimrod Haddox had accused him of stealing the mare, sued him for slander. In the meantime, Cox's barn and wheat were burned, and suspicion rested heavily upon Powers' wife. Cox swore out a warrant for her arrest. John Haddox went with the constable, and when he made the arrest, he, and those who went with him, observed that Mrs. Powers' ankles were scratched and bleeding, on account of passing through a brier patch near the barn. We are not informed as to whether she was convicted, but this, in connection with the bee-hive, and the mare and slander suit generated bad blood. A verdict was rendered in the slander suit against Nimrod Haddox, for $250.00. It appearing that Powers' wife, and a girl living with them, had stolen the beehive,. John Haddox, foreseeing the impossibility of his father's paying the damage, determined to appeal the case, and use this girl as a witness against him. To this end, he began to "shine" around her, and pretended to make love to her; and finally she confessed to having assisted in stealing the bee-hive, and furthermore, said the dead bees could be found under Powers' house. This, in conjunction with other testimony of a more relevant nature, reduced the damages to one cent.

About this time, Powers enlisted at Cincinnati, got his bounty, deserted, and re-enlisted four or five times until he was advertised, but could not be found. At a military gathering soon after, some e, in a drunken frenzy, was heard to yell for Hull. His name en was held in execration. A band of Kentuckians seized him, and, , it was the inevitable Powers. They put him under the water, but every time he came up he would yell for Hull. He was released and made his escape to the woods, in the seclusion of which he built a cabin, and in which he and his wife remained.

A reward of $50.00 was offered for him, dead or alive, and parties started in pursuit., among whom was John Haddox. The party watched the house all night, and towards morning Haddox crawled a large log near the shanty, and looked in, but could not see him. light snow had fallen during the evening, but no tracks could be n leading from the cabin. Soon Powers' wife opened the door cautiously, looked around, then came out to look for tracks. Not finding signs of the enemy, she gave two or three violent raps on a bucket, and presently Powers came sneaking out of the woods. Seeing the coast clear, he took up an ax and began splitting wood. While his back was to them, they rushed upon him, and Haddox seizing him by the shoulders, said, "Powers you're my prisoner." Brandishing a large knife, he broke loose, jumped to the loft, seized . gun, and swore he'd shoot. the whole d-d crowd. All took to it heels but Haddox, who presented his gun, but it flashed then fled, but slipping, fell ; Powers was immediately upon him, but ailing his feet his antagonist fled through a corn-field. Haddox led to him to stop, and at the same time fired. Mc---- ran from ind a stump, and fired; Philip Hoosier also fired at him, one of which took effect below the shoulder blade. Powers jumped the fence, the party in hot pursuit; finally he brought up on a log and crying out, `Boys! you've killed me!" surrendered. The party reported that he was shot, and the recruiting officer at Xenia said, "D-n him, bring him in, dead or alive." They went to his cabin, put him on a horse, and brought him to headquarters, got their reward, and a good dinner, donated by the officers. Powers subsequently recovered, and meeting Mr. Haddox at a sale, talked. over the matter in a friendly manner, and expressed no ill-will towards him for the part he had taken in bringing him to justice.
