ALIVE MAN IN A DEAD MANS CoFs
FIN.-The latest attempt of q convict
to escape from prison, occurred at the
Joliet Penitentiary recently. On the
evening previous a colored convict had
died. and his dead body was placed IN $
rough coffin for burial. On THURSDAY
morning, when the remains were about
TO be conveyed TO the burylng ground,
which is a short distance from the
premises, one of the officers perceived
slight movement of the coffin lid, which
had not yet been screwed down. Inc
lid being raised, 10 and behold. instead
OF a dead black man, a live convict was
found lying in the coffin. He was hus-
tied out snmmarily and required 70 give
an explanation. 1t appears that ear 10
the morning, while the other conviets
were at breakfast, he smuggled himseh
into the room where the coffin was, re-
moved the corpse of the colored man.
deposited it in an empty barrel, and go'
into the coffin himself, expecting ne
would be carried outside the walls, ane
befote reaching the burying grouna
jump out and escape. Being almos'
smothered, he raised the lid slightly 70

cred in time to spoil his little game.
If he had remained quiet minute u
two longer, the lid would have peso

The Idaho Statesman of the 22d SAYS
The funeral procession which follow ed
tie remains OF Mrs. Burmester to their
last resting place was the largest ever
Witnessed in the Territory. About fifty
vehicles and the same number of horses
men, preceded by the Boise City brass
band, were in attendance, The impress
sive burial service of the Odd Fellows
conducted by A. j. Bunner, Of Idaho
City, p. ID. ID. G. M, at the special re-
ouest of Mrs. Burmester, was said over
the grave. II was the most solemn
occasion that ever called our citizens to-
gether.
The walla walla Cw. TT Statesman
SAYS the people in the vicinity OF Spaul-
ding's, on the Torchet. are having some>
thing new in the annals of stock raising.
A farmer from that section informs as
that fifteen out of twenty of the calves
born there this spring have either been
so badly deformed that they died az
birth, or il was necessary to kill them
to put them out of misery. In one in
stance there was only one perfectly
formed calf out of thirteen, and in ano-
ther only one out OF six. The farmers
there believe that they have discovered
the cause of this singular freak of na-
ture in the fact that only cows that
range in the vicinity of, and lick at.
banks supposed to be impregnated with
alum, have deformed calves. The resi-
dents there are preparing to fence these
licks, and thus in the future avoid the
misfortune that has befallen them this
season.
The last week, besides the opening Of
this, the first hotel of the city. has wit
messed the accession of three or four
heavy business firms, one of which
bought large building heretofore used
as a gambling house. and the other yes
terday commenced the erection of an
adobe house 22xS0 feet in size. Large
stocks of goods are ready to go into
both. Megeath & Co. have crested
large warehouse since "Wednesday last,
and on Sunday 30 car loads of freight
were switched off on our siding. Of
this, 40 tons we know of are consigned
to Montana. Mr.. Snyder says, so a late
Eastern arrival informs US, that he has
an immense quantity of freight for ship
ment to Montana. More, no doubt, on
account OF the unusual low stage Of
water in the Missouri river, preventing
boats from getting nearer Helena than
Corinne is. A :rsin carrying 1900
pounds of merchandise pulled out for
Boise City yesterday, and one of ten
fourmu wagons came In from Ogden,
looking for freight northward.-CoTiHne

the sketches OF individuals and incidents are
admirably drawn, not only by the pen OF the
