MYSTERIOUS Early on the morning
of the ooh inst, an occurrence took place
on Court street, which slldom finds Il
parallel in the annals of our quiet village
community.
A young man, whom no one would
suspect of vancouver Judging from his
antecedcnts) proceeded quietly, but boldly,
to the County jail, and without disturb
ing the faithful Janitor, by his adroit
management, succeeded in invciging
away one Of the female inmates and in
ducing her to depart with him :.
They fled TO the Depot and took the
early train for parts unknown. They
were disguised by their apparel and thus
managed TO eludc detection.
There has been much speculation as to
what it meant, and no little censure
bestowed upon Rev. Mr.. Walker, who,
ii is thought, had some knowledge of the
affair, and was accessory to the queer
proceeding.
Mr.. Dewey, the Janitor, as he walks
the streets, looks the picture Of 6ereavc-
ment, and besides is blamed and threaten
ed with deprivation of Office, because he
docs not bcstir himself and pursue the
fugi,ivcs.
Where they have gone is not universally
known, but it is generally believed they
have emigrated to Il State largely settled
by happy bcncIcts
1t cannot be stated with entire accuracy
who was the pcrpctrator of this very
questionable deed, but it Is currently
reported that circumstances now points
strongly to DIR. Currirr.
The fact that he has been absent from
town for several days seems to confirm
these suspicious. WITNESS.
