own wit. Racine bands. Our citizens should
take pride in helping the band, and we hope

not support good band.
On Tuesday Of last week Mr.. Louis Git
gen. Of this city, and Miss Mary Sprainer.
of New Munster, in this county, were united
in the holy bonds or matrimony. They
have taken up their residence in the Owen
Mccarthy house, on Park street, which
they have fitted up very costly and tasteful
| ly. The newly married couple have the
congratulations Of many warm friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. D. Head celebrated
their silver wedding on Thursday evening Of
last week. A large number of guests were
present, and q very enjoyable evening was
had by all. Hardly any of the invited
guests knew that the party was given in
honor Of the occasion until they arrived st
Mr.. Head q, the host and hostess wishing to
keep the fact quiet until the company as
sembled The music was furnished by Frei-
berg's orchestra, of Chicago.
Between and 10 o'clock on Saturday
night Peter Peters, VIM. Kearns and August
RIGHT made their escape from the County
Jail by saving off the locks of the doors of
the hail. Peters and RIGHT were awaiting
trial on charges Of burglary, and Kearns
was awaiting trial on the charge of high
way robbery. Sheriff Dexter went to lock
them up about ii o'clock, and found that
they had gone. He Immediately summoned
all the officers and went in search of the
fugitives. RIGHT was captured in the town
of Bristol, where he said he went to get
some money that was owing to him. Kearns
and Peters went on to Chicago, taking the
two locks with them. The other prisoners
refused to go with them.
1t is quite apparent that the prisoners
who escaped from the Jail the other night
had material aid from the outside, that
they had been furnished with the tools and
means of doing just what they did do. The
Jail is mean old shell at best, and takes
the responsibility Of any sheriff III charge
beyond the limit of any ordinary prudence
out of the question. He might almost as
well be called upon to keep set of prison
ers confined in ten-acre lot, with the gates
we'll fastened with an old fashioned hook and
staple Find no fault with your sheriff, but
set about it at once and build new. re
spectacle and secure Jail, and over it, while
your hand is in. place Court House which
will reflect some honor upon the county,
and which will give some impression to the
outer world that the people of this commu-
nifty have some respect for justice, law and
order.
