in his possession and said that there
was one way to get them to Harrington
and that was for Allen to secrete them
in false pocket in his pantaloons.
The pair went thence to Mason and
went north about a mile on the rail-
road when Holcomb took SO and the
papers from his pocket and gave Allen
$50, telling him TO skip for Canada just
as soon as he could leave the papers
with Harrington or arrange 81 that
they would be found in his possession;

Canada where he was arrested. Allen

swear he held the bit of Holcomb's horse

were stopped on the road to Dams, he
would not live long.
Allen did not discover Holcomb's
identity until his return to jackson.
Certificates have been received from
Hamilton, Ont, attesting to the good
character of Allen.

The political events of the 23d of April were
the Republican convention at Utica, N. Y, and
the Readjuster Republican convention at
Richmond, Va. Great interest as naturally
centered ON the result at Utica, New York
