he was sound incorporate men (bser. drink

and Copperheads would pronounce him q

Esenpe Of Thieces from the County jail
On Tuesday evening JOHN walour and JAxs
JOHNSON made their escape from our County
Jail. About sunset the keeper went to their
cell with their su2pers, and was attacked by
the rascals with kicks and blows and felled
to the floor. The scoundrcls then beat I
hasty retreat through the unlocked door, the
keeper, an old man, unarmed, being unable
to o6er effectual resistance. Since their con-
finement they had been ironcd, but by some
means had succeeded in removing their
shscklcs. The Jail and court house being
located out Of town, and business hours over
there were none around to take the old man 8
part, or in any way interfere with the thieves
making good their escape.
