Prosecuting Attorney, Lee. of Erie
county, who quashed the indictments
against Sloan, at the time he received q
payment of $500 on forfeited bail
bonds of which he ret lined S1,700 for
fees, has been sued BY the County Com
missioners in the name Of the State for
the entire amount with interest since
Dec 9th. 1t appears that Lee after de-
Quoting his fee, as claimed, paid the
money over to Clerk Alvord, who deduct
ed 500 in fees and paid the rest to the
Treasurer on the 9th ult. Lee has no
doubt made money in the transaction,
but at fearful loss Of reputation;wheth-
er he gains or losses the present suit.
The Register publishes case of pre-
monitions,one of which only was regard
ed. The failure TO regard the other
caused the individual to loose all his
family in break up ON the L & NJ s
road several years ago. With his family,
a wife and two children, he had been
visiting in Pennsylvania and on returning
took the cars at Erie. After entering
the cars he was oppressed with feeling
that he ought not to risk himself and
family in that train, but disregarding
the warning he remained on board
Taking one of the children in his lap
he fell asleep and dreamed he saw his
wife and children laid out in death. A
crash came, bridge had given way
Mr. Freeze (that was the mans name)
was saved, but his family were all killed.
They were buried at Bellevue where they
had lived Mr. Freeze married again
and with his family was east in Decem-
Der. They had decided to return home
on the same day that the accident
occurred at Ashtabula; but strange fore
boding seized him and he started one
day earlier than he intended, and so
escaped the awful crash on the fatal 29ih
of December. Stranger than fiction arc
these occasional premonitions.
