The young man Pratt, arrested here
for arson ut Panama, and who jumped
from the train while being taken there,
seems to be wandering about the country
in shackles. Mrs. S. G.. Nelson, of Allan
tic, says that last Tuesday evening II man
came to her house and knocked but be-
fore she could open the screen door he
had started around the house. She saw
that he had shackles on his hands, and as
no prisoners have escaped from Jail in
that vicinity, the man is thought to be
non other than Pratt.
A short time ago Il young man giving
his name rs Heyne appeared here in the
role of an experienced newspaper man,
and being able to talk several languages,
and do other wonderful things. He en-
tered the employ of the mayor in the
sewerage department of the mayors
office, and to further bolster up his pro.
tege, it was given out that Heyne was
formerly secretary of the democratic
state central committee of Pennsylvania.
A letter from the chairman of that com.
mittee for the past four years says he
does not know any such man, and thinks
his pretensions are false.

animation, and was sent back to Jail to
await the action of the grand jury. The
chief cvidcnbc against him is that he was
trying TO sell some of the property stolen
from the store. II is said that he is an
DID offender, and that he has served four
