A special from Rsnding.. Pa.. Sunday,
says William Bryant, one of ih bur
glars who escaped from the Dover del.
Jail, is now in prison here. He, in com
pany with the four others who escaped,
struck the southern portion of Lancaster
county, where he separated from the rest.

office, Bryant entered and robbed the till
of $3s. He then fled across the country,
but was captured by Philadelphia ~
Reading Officer Boone, near Denver,
Lancaster county, and lodged in Jail here.
The money was found on his person. He
gave the name of William Bertram. To-
day it was discovered that he was one of
the escaped thieves. He is young man,
with light sandy moustache. The Dover
authorities have been notified.
-Four men, answering the description of
the other escaped prisoners, were seen
to-day in the vicinity of Bowmansville,
where the Buzzard gang recently robbed
n jewelry store. During last night four
men tried to get into house near Ephrata.
They were discovered by the inmates,
who fired several shots after them and
they fled. The authorities have made no
effort to secure their arrest.

DARING THIEPES.



Since the Jail delivery at Dover on Tues
day number of burglaries have been COM
mitted in the lower part of the county,
which in their daring shows the hand of
Bob Allen and Henry Rasin two of the es-
capped convicts. On Tuesday night the
hotel of Vincent Hill of Blackbird was
broken open and large quantity of cigars
and liquors taken away. The same evening
the horse and wagon of farmer named
McClain of Iaylors Bridge was stolen from
Pryor's corner where the owner had left
them. The team was discovered next day
near Odessa, the horse having been taken
from the carriage and hitched 20 the fence,
Last night, presumably the same burglars
visited Delaware City, broke into Robert
Moody's blacksmith shop and stole some
tools. With these they forced an entrance
to DR.. Bellville's residence consumed Il
quantity of edibles and carried away some
clothing belonging to one of the women in
the house.
Joseph Kidd's hotel was also broken open
and a lot of cigars and liquors stolen. Cash
to the amount Of SS5 was also part of the
burglars ''swag" from the hotel. There is
general opinion that the thieving is being
done by Allen and Rasin, and the county
constable and posse is searching the
neighborhood for them, presuming that
they are in hiding in some houses in the
city or surrounding country.
