The Fulton County Qll.) Democrat gives

The Fulton County Qll.) Democrat gives
the following account of a wifes devotion:
SHERIFF Prichard tells us that the wife of
George Hyer (sentenced to the Penitentiary
for five years for horse stealing) followed
her husband to the walls Of the prison. They
attempted to getaway from Lewiston without
letting her know about it, but the poor woman
was eyermore on watch at the depot, and so
she was on hand when the officers and prison.
ers started away last week, and, following on
the ears, hung about the neck of her husband
to the end OF the Journey Mrs. Hyer had
two children. These she had deliberately
gwen away to her people, determined to re-
mann IN Joliet, near her husband, so that she
could see him as often as possible, and
be ready, at the end of the five years to
welcome him again to freedom. She hoped
she would be permitted to see him often, but
this fond hope was rudely torn from her bv
the stern prison rules. She can see him but
once in two months, and then but for two or
tnree minutes in the presence of a guard.
She can write to him as often as she pleases ::
but he can write in reply only once a month.
Alter learning these facts the Sheriff tried to
get her to return to her family near Peoria !;
put her resolution was firmly taken She
had given up home and children to be near
her husband, and there she determined to
stay at whatever sacrifice They left her
alone and friendless, a stranger in a strange
city, weeping as if her heart would break.
but unwavering in her devotion to her hus-
band. No entreaty of husband or friend or
stranger could move her heart to leave him
in his long imprisonment
