the Butler county Jail made their escape by
cutting through the iron floor of the Jail corridor
in which they were confined, removing about
four square feet ofbrick mason work underneath

opening through the floor. which was OF one
fourth-inch boiler iron, sufficiently large to ad-
init their passage. They did this by filing with

MAKING NOISE IN INDIA
The Newspaper Articles That Landed the Edi-
tor and Publishers in Jail.

A cablegram last week announced that the
managers Of the BGagobGsi, weekly newspaper
published in Bengal, having n circulation of
20, 900 copies, had been fined large sum for
printing articles derogatory to the government
Copies of this newspaper have recently arrived
i'll England and they were found to contain the
most viruient attacks upon the Indian govern
ment The articles said to have attracted a
| large public attention in northern India. and
| the government decided that they were calcu-
| lated to undermine the government authority
| and that stern measures must be takeI to put
| an end to this sort of opposition.
The articles were certainly couched in the
most wild and extraragant terms Most of
! them related to the age of consent act, and the
editor declared that this bit CT legislation was
intended to undermine the religion Of the
native people. The newspaper also declared
that fever, cholera and other diseases are
spreading with tile extension OF British rule in
India. 1t said further that that rule was one
of brute force. and that the Indian people were
weighed down under the evils which the
British had brought upon thom. The news
paper also held that the government was re-
sponsible for the floods. famines and other
great evils that had befallen the country within
ten years.
The proprietor, editor and manager Of the
newspaper were arrested and the magistrate
declined TO admit them to bail. The prisoners
were therefore KEEP; in Jill until their trial oc-
Cured on August 10. Only the results of the
trial have vet come to hand, but the papers in
the case have been published and show the
claims Of both sides.
The contention for the defense was that the
articles were written under the influence of
strong religious excitement and that although
the language is foolish and incorporate. yet
there is nothing in it which was intended or
WAS likely to excite disaffection TO the consti-
tutcd authorities. The prosecution. however,
! asserted that the articles were outrageous in
their distortion of facts and that they were
likely seriously TO affect the governments posi-
ton with regard to the people, and that the
