?. recently elected Sheriff., of Manistee
county, were conveying three prisoners
to the Work-house at Detroit, and rid
ing from Huntington to Reed City, over
!, the +. Il T.. M. Railway. 1t seems

state which makes Il man feel us though
he didn't care a cent for anything i'm
this world or out Oft; and when they
!. arrived ut Weldon Creek, two OF the
prisoners, who We're handcuffed.togcth.
er walked off the car, and disappeared.
!, After the train had started, some OF
the passengers told the conductor that
the prisoners had gone, and after mucl,
: shaking, Yoss was finally aroused,
sufficiently to realize what had occurr-
cd. AT the next station, he got oiI,and
procuring hand-car started back after
his prisoners, whom he recapturcd
coming down the railro.s;. track. They
had managed to get the hand cuff:
OIL, and were free, but didn't seem to
know or care enough to improve their
chance of getting Off into the country
and making good their escape. They
were given free walk to Baldwin.
where another set of handcnffs were
procured from Sheriff Grant, and when
the freight came along, in the evening,
the trio continued thcirjourncy to Reed
City, whittier Fay had gone with the
third prisoner.
