His political prOclivities were to-

'What have l done that you desire to

sired to organize a trOup of Cavalry. |

HALLETT'S ESCAPE.
HE COMES TO MILFORD ON SUNDAY
AND ESCAPES AT MIDNIGHT
ON SUNDAY NIGHT.

On Sunday morning last Milford
was apprised by a telegram from Sher-
if WoOten, at Georgetown, that Col
lingwOOd p. Hallett, the murderer OF
Jas. b. Deputy, had made his escape
from the county, between the hours Of
eleven O'Clock on Saturday night, and
! five o'clock on Sunday morning. This
news was as astonishing as a clap of
thunder frcm clear sky, aud it was
the theme of conversation during that
day and the major part of the week.
BREAKING JAIL.
The manner Of his escape was as fol-
lows: He sawed the irons on his leg
with an old case knife and picked n
hole in the wall of his cell with the
knife and a piece Of the stove door,
which let him out into the Jail yard.
lie then used several old barrels to as
sist him to climb over the wall. He
was tracked by the sheriff and posse
to Ellendale on Sunday, and the trail
was lost.
AS soon as the news arrived in Mil
ford there we're hundreds nf cOnjeclures
as to the route that the murderer wOuld
he likely to take. Seven young men,
impressed with the idea that he would
and assistance, armed themselves aud
took stations on Sunday night in vari-
Gus positions around his brothers dwell |
ling in South Milford, and watched
from dark until midnight. ThemOon |
was shining brightly and they had to
keep at distance but little after y
O'clOrk horse and carriage was seen
to leave Mr.. Hallett's stable. Imme-
diately signal was given and the
driver put the whip on the horse. He
drove down Front TO Franklin; out
Franklin to Second; down Second t.
Walnut; thence out Causey avenue to
Railroad avenue; up railroad avenue
and out Church Street. The team
was lost ut Third and Church as the
Dursuers had no team to Overtake it.
The sheriff, with his posse. arrived on
the scene at this time. He was in
formed of what had happened, but ,
made no effort to see who was in the
but did go up, about o O'clOck,
and search Mr.. John Hallett's stable
and verify the truth of the statement
hat the carriage and horse was not
here aud that Mr.. H. was not at home.
He would not permit the men to go ar
er the team and acted in a way that
the prevalent idea with
,ur Milford citizens, that Halletts
,Old assisted him to escape. Several I
old the Sheriff this, aud intimated '
hat he was there assisting Hallett TO ]
ret away by not attempting to capture {
lin. This idea Is well rooted in the
opinions of our people, who will al
Vays hold Sheriff WOOten to a strict
ccOunt for his actions in this tiascO Of
ustice, His only reply to the meu
Who were anxious for him to go In
'ursuit was, Its no use to jump at this
hug"
It is thought that Hallett rea ched I
is brothers house and was th ere Sc =
reted until his departure at mid
light.

Tomato seeds may be grown ia gardens Wher,

danger that varieties will mix. The cabbage
family mixes freely when different plants or
different varieties grow together or near each

the Varietis grow at considerable distance from

FARM work must be done in summer and yet
one should have his plans land in advance, and
should use the winter in getting ready to exc
cute them. Again farming is not so different
iruin all other kinds OF business. Il costs some
thing to Start, aud 1t takes time to get under
good hradWay. Il one can succeed IN any UNDER
taking this year, he ought to do better next. and
better still further on. Farming here aud there,
year in place, has been cOmpsryd to setting
an orchard and moving the trees to a new lOcal-
~ every spring. Il takes at least one year Tor a
tree TO get established in its new home, and con-
slant moving prevents all real gain. Too many
people in all kinds Of business are like q tree
mSved every year to new spot; they never get
well rooted. aud so they never accomplish any
thing. Ne,0 England Farmer.
