Bailed Himself Ont.

WAUPUN, July John Conner
alias John Riley, escaped from the State
Prison this morning, it is supposed be
tween the hours of 3 and o'clock, by
one of the most clever pieces of work
ever done here in that line Common
was sent up from Neenah about two
years ago, on ten-year sentence for
the Coates diamond robbery. Refusing
to work, and on the physicians GER
tificate that he had heart disease, he
was given light employment in the
tailor shop. situated near one of the
corner octagons in the cell-room. He
began his preliminary operations in a
small room in this ostagon, used as a
water closet and store room, by cutting
the bars in the eighteen-inch circular
window which opens into the back yard.
He then cut three of the five-eights inch
iron bars in his cell door, covering his
work with wax and soap until the OPP
portunity offered this morning, when he
wrenched out the cut bars. and made
his way to the octagon, through the
window to the ground, escaping over
the wall by means of q plank Consid-
ering that his work had to be done at
odd moments, and that on his cell door
at night while under the close supervis-
ion of the cell-room guard. he must
have exercised great patience and eau
ton, and chosen a most opportune
moment for contamination. This was
his second term. Search parties are
out but no definite information has been
received of his course.

A Curious Presentiment.

On the occasion when the incident
to which have referred occurred,
Senator and Mrs. Linn were to be the
guests at formal dinner by the Presi-
dent at the White House Early in the
evening DIR. Linn, feeling somewhat
ill, concluded to remain in his lodg-
ings. Mr.. Webster calling at the mo-
ment, he was requested to escort Mrs.
Linn and convey to the President his
regrets at not being able TO be one of
his guests. At the proper hour Mrs.
Linn, escorted by Mr.. Webster, was
conveyed in her carriage to the White
House. The company had not been
long seated at the table when Mrs.
Linn remarked to Mr.. Webster, by
whose side she was seated, that she
feared she had not done right in leav-
ing the doctor and that she felt an in
clination, if she could do so without
marring the occasion, to return to her
hotel. Mr.. Webster made some obser-
walton designed to dissuade her from
departing then, saying that if she felt
so disposed she could leave at an ear
lier hour than the rest Of the company.
So strongly did the impulse to go
grow upon her that soon after she
made it known to Mr.. Webster, and so
urgent was she that he did as she re-
quired, and quietly made known to the
President her wishes. Mr.. Webster
accompanied her to the carriage, and
at her request returned TO the table.
| Her instruction to the driver was to
proceed rapidly to her home, and twice
on the way she enioined him to drive
| faster. Arriving at the spot, without
waiting for the groom to open the car
riage door, she, in the quickest man
ner, opened it herself and sprang TO
the room where she had left her hus-
band. As she entered she beheld her
husband on the bed, and the clothing

have been too late. DR. Linn was in

ment, which think was as remarkable
as any on record Mrs. Linn related
the facts to Mr.. Webster, in my pres
ence, on his calling the next morning.
His observations after Mrs. Linn fin
ished the narration of her first impulse
to leave the Presidents table, her
struggle to repress it, the growth Of the
presentiment till it over-mastered her,
the ride homeward, her anxiety for
greater haste, her bursting into the

Recently. Gen. John b. Calls receiv-
ed letter from C. w. 0key enclosing
the following slip;
General Irwin Mcdowell and Cap
tain j. H. Slime. historian of the first
Army Corps, held a long conference re-
gardirg the organization of the troops
around Washington and subsequent
movements of the Army of the Potomic,
in which the First Corps participated.
The council of war called by General
Rufus King was freely discussed, and
Major Halstcad, Of General Double
days staff. had present the memoranda
of how the brigade commanders advised
and voted TO go TO Manassas instead OF
Centerville. The work of collecting
data will be an interesting one, and
the collection of data will be vigorous
ly pushed by the historian.
In regard to this Mr.. 0key says:
My DEAR GENERALLY attention
is called to the enclosed clipping from
the Evening Critic of this city. Capt.
Slime is an old 10Th Indiana boy and
all First Corps men should send him
any items of interest they may be in
possession of. The Iron Brigade will
not suffer at his hands.

AT the recent exhibition of the Walter
A. Woods harvester and Irvine binder.
on the farm of Mr.. John A. Jackson,
three miles south of Hazel Green, on
July 9th, after witnessing the same, we
have no hesitancy in pronouncing the
machine n successful success in every
particular, as it did excellent binding
throughout the trial, despite the facts
that the rye is very tall and green, and
the ground SO muddy that the horses
sank nearly to their fetlocks. The ma
chine was placed upon exhibition by l..
Riefsteck and James Edwards, agents
for the Walter A. Woods machines, at
Hazel Green, assisted by Mr.. F. V.
Bartlett and j G. Eberly, representa-
tives of the Walter A. Woods Company.
The excellence of the binder was
demonstrated beyond doubt, and the
separation far better than was expected,
as the grain was tangled and very long;
vet the bundles were delivered from the
machine singly, with one or two excep-
tons, and then only two were found
connected, and never missed bundle,
which convinced the most skeptical on
the ground that the reports of agents of
other machines to the contrary are told
for .'buncombe.' The packers were a
feature that demanded especial notice
While the bundle was being bound,
they remained still, and thereby not
disturbed the grain until the compile
ton of the knot. The agents of the
Woods fully demonstrated the qualities
of their machine, as they made an i'm
mediate sale of the harvester and binder
to Mr.. Jackson. he not wanting to have
such an excellent machine leave his
farm. REPORTER FOR HERALD.

Q.-'sWhere did this shooting occurpn
A.-"On Pat Judges premises, in
Grant county, Wisconsin.
Mr.. Orr said that as he did not see
any one in the courtroom who was
present when Gadlin died he would take
the stand for a moment. He was sworn
and testified to the death of the negro,
In substance as stated in the testimony
of Frank Rewey before the coroner's
jury.
Here the state rested its case.
Mr.. Orr was then called by .hc defense
and testified as to the state of mind and
excitement of Pat Judge at the time he
came to the witness Office for warrant
to arrest Gadlin. Stating that he was
very much excited and gave utterance
to threats against the negro, saying one
or the other, Judge or Gadlin, must die.
A short recess was then taken at the
request of the counsel for the defense,
who wished for a few minutes confer
ence with their clients. At the close of
the recess Col. Clark announced that
they would introduce no further testi-
mony.
Mr.. Orr offered to submit the ca Sc
without argument, but the defense
thought there were few points which
they wished to present to the court
BY three o'clock the arguments were all
in and the court rendered its decision
holding John Judge, John Judge, Jr.,
and Pat Battle for the crime charged in
the indictment. Pat Judge for assault
with intent to commit murder, and dis
charged Fred. Battle.
The bail of Pat Judge was fixed at
two hundred dollars, which was readily
secured. The case of the other defend
ants was taken before Judge Clement
son, who fixed the bail for the three at
two thousand dollars. Bail for these
was obtained before shutdown and all
hands left at once for home.

lone would suppose that the claims
would decrease in number" observed
the commissioner, .'but it should be

away with all abuses that had been
complained of. But such is not the
case. The attorney can now collect his
fee before the claim is passed. This,
perhaps, explains the springing up OF
these sporadic pension firms. 1t would

facts, to know what proportion OF
