away yesterday morning. The horse was
standing at the house when his little boy,
about 10 years old, unhitched him and got
into the buggy. The horse started up quick,
and the boy caught hold of one line and held
on, which turned the horse short around and
overturned the buggy, throwing the boy out
against the fence, but fortunately not hurting
him. The horse then ran across to Olive
street with the front wheels, and then down to
Third, and so on down to Chestnut street,
where he made straight run across the
bridge for Wisconsin, where he was
at last stopped. The wheels were
sadly demoralized and the horse quite badly
cut about the legs.
Convict Frank Blakeley, who scaled the
prison wall on Sunday afternoon, was seen
that night near the boom tits supposed that
he crossed over to the Wisconsin side. At the

parties watering their teams at the trough.
He told them to get out of his way, for he was
agoing. He escaped by the means of ladder.
He went in the direction of Dutchtown, and
went up the bluff near the lime kiln. The
alarm was not given until he had been gone
fifteen minutes. He had on at the time pair
of pants that he got in one of the shops. They
were convict pants, but so dirty that no one
would hardly notice them.
