About the lst of July two prisoners
escapted from the peniten tiary at
seatco, Washington Territory, aud
previous to last Friday all efforts to
capture them had been unavaIling.
On that day Marshal Burkhart, who
had received descriptions Of the con.
victs, saw young mulatto. on the
streets. who answered SO Well to the
DESCRIPTION OF one OF them that he I'M
medIately arrested him and placed him
In the caiaboose. Saturday the Mar.
shal talked With the prisoner as II he
knew all about the business. and the
fellow owned up that he was the man
who was wanted. Sunday the Mar
shal got on the track of the other and
captured him near this city. They
were placed in the county jail for safe
keeping Having been free so long, and
having gotten SO far away from seatco
they thought they were entirely safe,
and were somewhat surprised to find
themselves again in the arms of the
law. One was named Ted Freemen and
the other Riley Fields, and both were
serving out . two or three years term
IL the Territory penitentiary for some
crime committed in Kalama. They
were not tough looking customers but II
wac lucky that our vigilant Marshal
got his eyes on them. There was re
ward Of 500 for their capture, and this
Mr.. Burkhart will get.

Last Friday noon tho remains Of W 7
Locke were taksn from the train In
this city and conveyed to Corvallis.
whers they were buried the same day.
There Is sad story 10 be told, one TO
touch tho heart Of the most stolid.
Here II IL On the 10th Of last July w
T Locke was united Ia marriage TO
Miss Florence Lewis at Corvallis. The
young couple went through this city
Immediately afterwards to Rosebufg,
aud from there 10 Coos comfy on their
bridal trip. At Coqullle Mr. Locke was
taken III with typhoid fever when he
was taken TO Myrtle Point, where he
enly lived short time, dying on Tues
day Of last week, Aug. 14tb, six days
less than n month after his marriage.
Those who saw the pale, distracted,
weeping, young woman at the depot
last Friday can easily imagine the
depth OF the anguish that agitated her.
But twenty-five days bride and then
q widow. can pen portray n sadder pic.
ture. All sunshine, with the brightest
prospects, and congratulations ringing
IN their ears, one day almost the
nsxt, life was made dreary and barren
~ the desert by this terrible, never
falling hand OF death.

Wednesday evening, and gave as good II
not the best performance ever given IN
this city. Nearly every feature oft was
FIRST class, except perhaps the jokes Of the
clowns, many Of which were the same a.
heard in shermsn's. The balancing OF
Daisy Belmont on the high rolling globe
was really fine, and the riding Of Master
Frank Elliot was good. The conlortions
Of HeelY Brothers were the best we ever
saw, The manner In which they twisted
their bodies was really wonderful. The
tumbling throughout the performance
was extra, and given in good quantities,
there being nine or ten frst-class acrobafs.
The slack wire walking was excellent,
though not as good as we have seen even
hsre. Perhaps the best OF all was the
trapeze performance Of Lotta and Charles
Belmont. They are experts at tbs basi-
ness, doing several tricks, exceedingly
daring. The horizontal bar act by Scott
and La Mondue deserved the applause Il
received. The circus closed with hum
crous performances representing a scene
from the French riding school which
showed good sklll in pad. riding. Taken

A Here or IsIs.

Last Saturday Uncle David Carnes, Of
Waterloo, came to Albany in company
with his son, youag man Of about sixty
i've, and this was what they came for.
II seems that Uncle David was q soldier
in the celebrated war Of 1872, from which
he had an honorable discharge. In 1878
law was passed providing for pension
for all veterans of that war Mr. Carnes
has only jnst heard Of it, so although 80
years Of age, he thought he might as well
get the money which he was entitled to
under the law. for something to fall back
on when he gets old and decrepit, so that
is what be came 70 Albany for. His appli-
cation was made cat, his discharge sent
70 Washington, and in few weeks Uncle
David viii be the happy possessor Of be-
tween five hundred and thousand dol
lars, which he deserves.
Although 90 years OF age he can read
without glasses, and Is quite active for
one Of his age. At the same time he is
somewhat infrm and cannot remember
quite as well as when young, which per-
haps may be accounted for by the fact
that he is an habitual tobacco chewer. II
he should die within ten or fifteen years
the cause can readily be traced to this.
Too much honor and respect cannot be
paid the man who hasseen 50 many years
OF this worlds wear and tear, and one
very justly feels great reverence for one
who helped to check the Invasions of some
} our worst enemies, the Briishers Of 1919.
