The city Of Adrian, Mich is wild with eX.
citement over an attempted huge swlndle in
the matter OF her proposed water works. In
October last, BY large majority, her people
voted IN favor ot the issue of $l50,0OO bonds
tor the erection OF water works. After exten-
sIve prospecting no satisfactory source of a
water supply being found, the city council, ON
being applied TO by the mayor for ar Issue of
$4,000 of the proposed bonds, refused to
make the order and there the projected water
works for the time seemed to have come to an
end. II appears however that two weeks ago,
Mayor Navin who had had the l50 blank
bonds of 81 900 each for those proposed 10 be
issued duly printed, went 10 Francis Stanton,
Recorder Of the City OF Adrian and stating
that the council had agreed 20 meet on Mon.
day evening and order the issue of $4,000 of
the bonds, asked him TO countersign rs of
hem, 50 that he could Immediately after the
AMI Mr.. Stanton, having unlimited confidence
in the mayor, did as requested. No action,
however, was taken by the council on the sub.
ject on Monday or any other evening, but on
Thursday the people of Adrian were as,ound.
cd TO hear that not only $4,000 worth, but
fhe whole $4,000 of her bonds voted upon
had bee, negotiated in New York city, and
siat $4,000 of the money had been paid over
on drafts of Mayor NaviE. On rushing to

Nine months of hard and ingenious labor by
Johnny Sansome, a convict in the prison at
Folsom, enabled him TO escape. by thrusting
a wire down between the granite blocks In the
floor of his cell, he discovered cavity under
meath which was an abandoned sewer. With
a chisel which he smuggled IN from the work
shop, and heavy piece of wood, he broke one
of the stones. This required month, because
he could only strike a blow when door was
closed or some other noise WAS made to hide
It, and he frequently set up all night without
being able to strike more than once or twice.
I'm the daytime he was in the shop. After re-
moving the haltsaIare OF granite, he dug
slowly down through three feet OF stone and
cement, first boring hole, and atterward let.

three months he got into the sewer and found

leaving his clothes so arranged in bed that the

made him i'll, and his weight fell OIL twenty
five pounds. But he got out at last. Within
three hours an officer recognized him. and he
