Four of the butchers who put in bids

The almshouse uses an average of three

Taking these weights and the proper

The evidence in the Dill case opened

Ilezekiah was apparently specially put
forth to swear as TO the size of the tracks
made by the gum boots, which Dill wore

While in Mr.. Biggs' hands Mr. Sapp was
asked when and where he had made the
last examination of tracks made by
Dills gum boots, and then the rather
startling fact that Din had been taken
from the jail late on Thursday night and
promenaded around on moist ground so
that Hezekiah Sapp, who was to be next

make a measurement OF these tracks

came out there was sensation with a

Biggs to the court.
"You know your duty; this is an in
dictable oifense; the sheriff has been
guilty Of an escape. replied Chief Jus
tice Comegys, and even the youngest
member of the bar knew that the stately
chief justice was more than indignant.
Sheriff Fennimore looked as though he
would have liked to have been ordered Ia
go down somewhere in the Murderkills e
to serve a forthwith summons, so that h,
could get out in the air awhile, and the en-
tire court room felt that the noted Dill
case had become more noted than ever
The general sentiment among those
who know Sheriff Fennimore is that n,

it is a mighty serious thing for a sheriff

Coal TO be higher.

Goal is scarce, coal will probably be
higher, said a prominent coal merchant
this morning. This is not caused, -
continued the gentleman, "by any real
scarcity of coal, but the difficulty in
getting coal cars, and the fact that the
railroad companies have been holding
back, so that they could get the advan
tage of the increased freight rates, which
went into effect yesterday November /. :"
Anthracite coal, he said, was coming in
pretty well, but Bituminous was very
scarce, and coke. which, however, is very
little used, has premium on it.
