the train arrived Mr. Kelsey told him “that
the train went to Gresnport, and for him
tc wait for the next one,” which
he did. Officer Robert Pratt, of Hicks
ville, who was on the next train, was in-
formed of it and he stopped off and arrested
him, Officers Ayres and Buckler soon after
arrived, and the three officers, with dif
fleuity, prevented the excited crowd from
lynching him. He was finally taken to
ilieksville before Justice Edgar Davis, and
nt noon driven over to Mr, Bprague's house,
i Sprague, a brother of the
wounded man, struck the prisoner a power-
ful blow in the face, and would have killed
bit had rot wiser counsels prevailed. Mrs
vgue fully identified him as the man who
k ber in the morning and to whom she
gave the mousy. He was then taken back
to Hicksville, whore the greatest excitement
prevailed Inst evening, and renewed threats
of lynching were freely made Heo was
stromgly guarded, and taken to the Queens
eounty jail at Long lsiand City on a late
train,
It is supposed he tried to enter the house
during the night, as marks were found upon
one of the side windows, showing that the
attempt had been made to pry it open. He
then, it appears, went into the barn. When
Mr. Sprague came out he knocked him
down as soon as he got on the barn flior.
Mr. Sprague is forty-three years of age and
6 strong, sthistic man, Mrs, Sprague is a
small lady and is about the same age as her
husband. The arrested man gives his name
ns Charles A. Bmith, and says that he
piden in Poverty Hollow, in the town
Oyster Bay. He is thirty years
age, light build, very nd bas a hea
motstache and side whiskers, * At a late
hour he was fully identified as Charles A.
Rugg, of Oyster Bay. Mr. Sprague is still
niive and bis physicians have some hope of
his recovery.
