SHERIFF JOHN GREER
RETURNS FROM LOUISIANA
AFTER SECURING PRISONER
~~~~~

     Sheriff John Greer recently returned from Louisiana where he went to secure Nathan Marshall, a negro who was wanted in the Indian Territory for theft of a bale of cotton.  Sheriff Greer had arrested the negro and placed him in the Marlin jail some time ago and a Territory officer came down after him.  On his way back the negro made his escape and the Territory officer posted a reward of $50 or his recapture.  Sheriff Greer located the negro in Louisiana and after getting him turned him over to the Territory officer at Greenville, Texas, receiving the reward.
