Of one Mr. Hutton, who was in town
at the time the prisoners escaped, and
in a manner which would naturally
tend to throw suspicion upon Hutton
as the outside party who effected the
release Of the prisoners. Mr.. Hutton
was at Bradford when the Press con.
tanning the article come out, but put
in an appearance yesterday, and this

Conver, on charge Of libel, Conver
was arraigned before Esq. Randall,
where he waived hearing, and gave
bail in $500 for his appearance at
Court. Hutton vas held in 800 for

bring civil suit against Mr.. Conver for
damages; and moreover says that his
chara cter is open for inspection; and
| further, that Conver's statements in
regard to him are false throughout

zeite proposes a smooth way, indeed, We
might say greasy way out of the riot
troubles. 1t says 1--WE believe tha
now the oil trade can stand a State
tax, and that the State should tax OF
and pay our riot losses" That j.
about us cool proposition as we ever
heard Of Why not put State tax oil
coal ? on grain on fruit? on lumber

1t appears that the campaign i
