Of passing counterfeit money, made his
escape on Sunday last, about 10 o'clock in

body to pass through. After getting into
the upper apartment, he sawed off the
heads of the screws which held the staple,
and thus opened the door and made his
escape. He came down the steps with his
shoes in his hand, prepared for race, and
he proved too feet for his pursuers.
He was to have been tried at the Decem-

Boone, where the offence was committed.
1t will be seen the Sheriff offers reward
