company with Miss Rettie Younger, to
Faribault Mimi. Mr.. Hall is plain and
unvarnished in hisstatements; and en-

ensuing night that the policeman was
killed by the guard, and the former be-
ing large, sandy-complexioned man,
very much after the style Of Mr.. Hall,
it was rumored all over the town that
the brother-in-law of the prisoners had
attempted to visit them in spite of
the order of the authorities and been
killed.

themselves continually, but are I'M
