31 Jul 1738:22 (155)
Ran away from his master, William Browne, Esq; of Salem, on
the tenth of this instant July, a short Negro Fellow named
Maximus, dress'd in black, who can play well upon a violin. 
Whoever shall take up the said Negro, and bring him to his
said master in Salem, or secure him so that he may be had
again, shall have five pounds reward, and all necessary
charges paid.
  N.B.  The said Negro went away in company with a tall
strait lim'd Negro fellow named Will, belonging to Mr.
Cockrell Reeves of Said Salem.  They stole and took with
them a large bay horse with a large scar  in his forehead,
and a bay mare that has been wrenched behind.  They are
cunning crafty fellows, and are suppos'd to be gone towards
New-York.
