A RESCUE On last Saturday, the
Deputy United States marshals, now
stationed at this place, brought in
three ,- prisoners, namely, Thomas
Beczcley. Milton Stanscl and James
Stausel, charged with violation of the
Internal Revenue Law. The prisoners
wero delivered to the Sheriff, and were
by him, confined il Jail. On Saturday
night, about ninc O'Clock, just as the
Sheriff had returned from up stairs,
where he had been locking up and
, securing his prisoners for the night,
some one knocked at the front door
Thinking it some friend or neighbor,
4 he unhesitatingly opneed the door,
when three or four men rushed in
with as many guns, which were pre-
. sented at the Sheriff's breast, and he
was asked, in very polite tones, to de.
liveG1np the Jail keys. The Sheriff
attempted to demonstrate, when he
was suddenly cut short and perem-
tory demand made for, them; the de-
mand rendered more torcible by
pretty free use ofadjectives and other
parts OF speech not found in the gram.
mer. BY this time the hallway was
pretty well crowded with men, and
others could be heard in the yard
The Sheriff yielded and delivered up
the keys, when the guns were at once
withdrawn from his breast. They
y. then proceed up stairs, followed by
the Sheriff, who requested Of them not
to let out any bit those they had
come for There were several other
( prisoners. confined at the timec, ,harged
with various crimes-some for vio-
lation of the revenue, and some with
murder. The men, however, released
only the three above named. As soon
as they were out they mounted their
horses and rode off rapidly towards
the mountains. The whole time occu-
pied was not more than ton. or fifteen
minutes. The men were entire strang..
ers to the Sheriff AS soon as they
had gone the Sheriff awoke Commits
sion Thornley, and informed him of
I the rescue. The Commissioner sent
for the Deputy Marshals, but after con.
eultation. among the marshals, tho
I Commissioner and the Sheriff it was
deemed advisable not to pursue them
that night
