county jail on Saturday night are still at large,
although st. Clair, the principal criminal, has
been heard of at Marine, he going there di-

irving at II o'clock. He hid in the cellar of
Mrs. Hollis house, and his wife had talk

winter wheat found it a good crop. Itripens
early, and is not as much affected by dr.
weather as spring wheat.
