ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD — Ran away on Saturday night,
the 20th September, 1856, from the subscriber, living in the ninth district of
Carroll county, Maryland, two Negro Men, SAM and ISAAC. Sam calls himself
Samuel Sims; he is very black; shows his teeth very much when he laughs; no
perceptible marks; he is 5 feet 8 inches high, and about thirty years of age,
but has the appearance of being much older.
Isaac calls himself Isaac Dotson he is about nineteen years
of age, stout made, but rather chunky; broad across his shoulders, he is about
five feet five or six inches high, always appears to be in a good humor; laughs
a good deal, and runs on with a good deal of foolishness; he is of very light
color, almost yellow, might be called a yellow boy; has no perceptible marks.
They have such a variety of clothing that it is almost
useless to say anything about them. No doubt they will change their names.
I will give the above reward for them, of one thousand
dollars, or five hundred dollars for either of them, if taken and lodged in any
jail in Maryland. So that I get them again.
Also two of Mr. Dade’s, living in the neighborhood, went the
same time; no doubt they are all in company together.
THOMAS B. OWINGS.
