$200 REWARD.
NEGRO BOY, George, attempted to murder my Overseer on Monday, April 25, and then ran off. George is about 30 years old; copper color; about 6 feet high; has a scar on his face, something like a burn; has been shot in the leg a little above the knee joint, scar very perceptible; has traveled to California by land; is fond of talking and is very plausible; was raised in Independence, Mo., and brought to Short Mountains, Franklin county, Arkansas, by Col. John W. Polk from whom I purchased him in January last. He will try to get on some boat, and will endeavor to travel as the property of some Irishman. I will give the above reward for the delivery of said boy to me, or his confinement so that I get him.
Since writing the above, our suspicions are, that he is making his way to Napoleon.
