a.n.onanoh osusss a Little Stir.

Our people we're somewhat startled ias'
Friday morning on learning that Siram H.
Hausenfuck, prisoner confined In the
county Jail, in this place, whose name IL
familiar to our readers, had left his bed
and board without asking permission or
informing his kind hostess of his destlna-
ton. Commonwealth Attorney Baker
was informed of the prisoners escape ana
! he with others hurried to the jail to as
certain how Mr.. Hansen fluck had made
his exit. They found that he had man
aged to unlock the door leading into the
ear Jail yard, and had then gotten over
the wall next to the Jail on the side next
TO the Shenandoah House. To accom-
plish his purpose he had brought into use
plank, which he had secured from the
floor of one Of the cells, and the blankets
of his bed. One end Of the plank he
placed on the 81 of the window OF the
second story nearest the wall while, he
rested the other end on top Of the WALL
By the aid of his bed clothing he drew
hi mself up to the window and walked
across the plank TO the wall and reached
the ground on the outside by means OF
an outbuildlng. This was as far as he
could be traced,
All sorts of conjectures were made as
TO which ronte he had taken to leave
these parts, for from the speculation In
dulged in by people who had gathered IN
groups il seemed that he was prepared
for an extended trip to foreign climes'and
Mr. Baker was preparing to send out
searching parties to try and capture the
supposed fleeing prisoner. He was just
about read y to telegraph so that if he
took the railroad he might be apprehend-
ed and was having a reward written
by the clerk, when they were informed
that HauseDAuck was in the Office with
Deputy Sheriff Wenger.
Mr.. Wenger and Hausenhuck explained
to the crowd that quickly gathered, all
about the little episode that bad termina-
ted SO happily for the officials. 1t turned
out that when Mr.. Wenger visited the
jail on Thursday, Hausenhuck began talk
ing OF the opportunities he had had to es-
cape, stating that he could have got out
an hundred times if he had been so dis
posed. During their conversation the
prisoner asked the sheriff If he would
treat him all right If he came over to see
him that night. Mr.. Wenger said be
would.
About o'clock on the morning above
mentioned. Mr.. Wenger was aroused by
rap at the door and on opening it found
Hausenfiuck awaiting to be received. lie
kept him until morning when he brought
him back to jail.
When asked how he unlocked the door
entering the Jail yard, he replied that he
d id so with his own key. This he volun-
tarily showed to the Commonwealth At
torney and several others. 1t was a chair
round with a spike driven in near enough
TO the end 70 as to turn the lock which
had gradually worn down. After getting
into the yard be proceeded as stated
above.

An exchange says: "a fact not general
" known about Senator Riddleberger IS
that he is the dead shot of the Senate
This fact was recently developed by some
of his exploits in a shooting gallery not
far from the Capitol. The Senator and
some friends had dropped in for few
minutes quiet sport with the rifle. Inc
others of the party, after several scatter
ing shots which endangered the lives
of the inhabitants of the ncighborhood'
gave way to the Senator, who gave a
suberb exhibition OF Workmanship. lie
broke with comparative ease the glass
balls spinning about on an ans anu
smashed clay pipes in reckless proiusion'
His fayorite sport, however, was the break
ing of gilt balls about an inch in diane
ter, which we're thrown into fountain
and danced about on top Of little jet Of

The sale Of the HERALD newspaper
property 10y virtue of decree of the
Circuit Court of this county, rendered
on the 14th day of January last took
place in front of the court house on
Saturday afternoon last. Mr.. Robert {.
Hosbour was employed as auctioneer by
the special commissioners, Messrs. w. 1.
Williams and NJ. b. Wunder. At 1870 the
time advertised for the beginning OF the
sale the property was offered, but only
two bids were receiyed-one at 1000
and another at 81 200. No other bids beng
offered the commissioners postponed the
sale until $3.50 O'Clock in order that Seha
tor Riddleberger might be present as he
had telegrapned that he would reach
here on the afternoon passenger train. 49,
The Senator came as expected and at the
time designated the crying Of the sale
continued. The bidding was rapid and in
a short time it had reached $1,000. Here II
paused for brief space until the combina-
ton shot on bid of 500. Again it lag
ged and it looked as though the shot would
not fill. Finally another bid of so was
offered, making it $3.50. The combina-
ton here dropped out and the property
was knocked off to Mrs. Emma V. Riddle
berger, the $3.50 being her bid. The
bidding was done entirely by local par
ties, there being no foreign persons with
an eye to purchasing present.
