SwINDLERs are like mules-they will be-
have themselves very well month or two,
just to get good square kick at some one.
They operate principally in the rural districts.
Notwithstanding the fact that almost every
newspaper you pick up, gives an account of
certain ones being swindled by some travelling
man or agent, they will find victims. Only few
days since a very respectable family over in
Colerain, purchased silver goods to the amount
of thirty or forty dollars, of one of these trav-
cling scamps, fed and lodged him comfortably
over night, 'bade him goodbye in the morn
ing, took their silver ware to jeweller to
have it lettered, only to find it 'f1eeting
show-a fraud. Once again, we say, have
nothing to do with them.

ATTEMPTED JAIL DELIvERY.-The prisoners
in the county Jail become possessed of an in
tense yearning, on Saturday, to breathe the
fresh air and enjoy the sublimity and beauty
of the season, hence they made desperate
attempt on Saturday night to relieve them
selves of the durance of Castle Cochran.
During the day the Sheriff had been called
to attend funeral of a relative in Martins
Ferry, and deputy Rice was busy in attend
ance upon Court, so that little attention was
paid to the maneuvres of the Gagged birds, and
they had fine opportunity to unrivet heavy
iron bars and prepare for escape. About III
o'clock the wife of the Sheriff was awakened
by the noise of the schemers, and she aroused
the Sheriff and advised him of the situation,
but he thinking it nothing but imaginings
rolled over in bed and dropped to sleep again.
In short time afterwards he was again
aroused, and was convinced that everything
was not right with his boarders and costuming
himself as rapidly as possible he entered upon
an investigation, and soon discovered that an
attempt was being made by the prisoners to
escape. The keys of the Jail being in the pos
session of Jailor Rice, Sheriff Cochran could
not gain access thereto, so he awakened sew
eral persons in the vicinity and surrounded the
Jail on the outside until he could secure the
attendance of Mr.. Rice, who was lodging al
his home in the west end of town. He
was quickly summoned and entrance was
made, but everything was still as death and
no sound could be heard save the snoring oi
the prisoners who, by this time, were tucked
in their little beds apparently oblivious of any
disturbance. An examination of the premise.
showed that the rivets which secured six OF
eight of the wide half-inch thick iron bars o.
the grating above had been broken and sew
eral of the bars bent up, SO as to admit of I
small person going through. The implement
used for the work were heavy hard woot
flooring Stats which were wrenched from thei
places in the vestibule Of the cage. On furthe
search Charlie Bass prisoner from Barnes
vile was missed, and it was found that h
had gone so far on his way as to be out upo
the roof of the building, where he was dis
covered stretched full length upon the roof
Jailor Rice invited Charlie back to his quar-
tiers, to which he retired in good order an
without objection. The prisoners were Oh
dered into the lower tier Of cells and locke
up securely, and the scare was over. On tn
, next day workmcn repaired the damage an
made some changes, which it is thought wi
obviate any danger hereafter.

An old and valued subscriber of the CnRos

IcSE, born in the last century and who was
the first white child born in McMahon's Greek
Valley, and whose father was the second
white settler, upon reading our note last week
in reference to the recent flood on McMahon's
Creek, called at our office and gave us an ac-
count of the terrible food to which we re-
ferred, known among old settlers as the
''Hardesty freshet," which occurred on the
night of the 18th of July, 1918, during which
the water rose six feet higher than the one
two weeks ago. 1t was that flood which car
ried away and drowned the Hardesty family
of six persons, living upon the present site of
Glencoe.

AocIDENT.-Early last Thursday morning,
Nimrod Eddy and Adam Bentz, two we'll
known citizens of Barnesviile, went hunting
in some woods near by the town. As hunt
ers usually do, they separated from each 9TH
er some distance, each to pursue the game
they should chance to find. The last seen of
Mr. Eddy by his companion, prior to the ac-
cident, we are about to relate, he had his gun
to his shoulder, apparently seeking good
shot at some object in tree, and was step
ping backward, and when they had lost sight
of each ether, Mr. Bentz heard the report of
Mr.. Eddy's gun, but this not being unusual,
nothing was thought of it, save the expectation
of, and listening for, another shot. Not hear
ing this, and not having seen or heard from
Mr.. Eddy for considerable time, he began
search for him. He had not been looking
long when he was attracted by heavy groans
TO tree TOP which was broken off, and was
lying on the ground, where he found Eddy
lying upon his back, with his foot fastened il
crotch of the fallen timber, his gun shori
distance from and behind him, and the entire
back part of the head literally blown to pieces
his skull crushed and his brains oozing out
Mr.. Bentz, as quickly as possible ran for hell
to Mr.. Burtoff,. engaged near by, who wen
to Barnesville for medical aid and a convey
ance to take him home. Without much de
lay the injured man was removed to the resi-
dence of his brother-in-law in Barnesville
where he has since lain in comatose state
and no hope is entertained of his recovery
How the accident occurred remains a mystt
} ry, as Mr.. Eddy has not spoken. This .dil
, tressing casualty cast a gloom over Barne
vile, where the unfortunate man resides, an
lis highly esteemed.
