ESCAPED FROM JAIL.

w. L. Mascot, a grade Italian confined
in Jail here on the charge of robbery, es-
capped some time between Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning. lie has not
been retaken, nor is he likely again to
fall into the hands of the officers here
abouts. Jailer Cobb went West two
weeks ago with a carload of sheep, leav-
ing the Jail in charge of Mr.. John Spen-
Ger, who, however, does not remain there
nights. Wednesday morning Mr.. Spen-
Ger went to the jail about o'clock and as
he passed by the building to the barn he
looked over the windows carefully. He
thinks they were all right then. On com
ing back from the barn after milking he
noticed that something was wrong with
the bars of the window on the south side.
Investigation showed that Mascot was
gone. He had not been locked in "A cell
nights of late. One of the round iron
bars an inch in diameter. forming the
grating over the window, had been sawn
off and bent, leaving hole not much
oyer eight by ten inches, and through
this Mascot crawled. The tool with
which the saving was done was piece
of hoop iron six or eight inches long that
came from an iron bedstead in one of the
cells. Whoever did the Job rugged ii chair
against the wall under the window to
form "A seat, as the window is too high to
be easily reached from the floor. The
bar was sawn off part way five or six
years ago by other prisoners. As soon
as Mascots escape was discovered an
alarm was sent out and search made in
this vicinity. The indications are that
Mascot had plenty of hell from outside.
\ big Italian who has been employed on
the Bristol railroad was brought here
and jailed two weeks ago for an alleged
assault on IA boss. Thirty or more of his
former companions were discharged at
Bristol on Tuesday and three of them
were seen about here that night. The
officers think that it had been arranged
that they were to come and assist the big
one out; but he was too large and so they
let Mascot loose.
Mascot was arrested Of Whitney S
island in Lake Champlain near Port Kent,
by Officer Middlebrook of Nergennes and
"A party who were pursuing him in "A
steam yacht, on Sept. II last. He was
in rowboat and in it with him were
two guns, "A pistol and other property
which had been stolen from the Booth
cottage on the lake shore not far from
Fort Cassin on the preceding Tuesday.
Mascot was brought to Nergennes and
after examination bound up for trial by
the county court. Bail was fixed at
$500. He couldn't furnish it and was
Jailed.

The American reciprocity treaty has
made serious inronds upon British trade,
and there is evidently no disposition to
grant equally favorable arrangements to

Alaskans don't act as if they were hap
py, even if they have Middlebury man
for governor; and, by the way, he is
spoken of in the newspapers these days as
General Knapp. This dispatch, dated at
Port Townsend, Wash, is in circulation
Reports are current here of serious
trouble which is said to be becoming more
pronounced each day in Alaska. The
people of Alaska are asked by the Juneau
Mining Record in an article TO meet in
convention and propose bill for a terri
torial form of government suitable to the
needs and conditions of that country.
The people are indignant over some of
the unjust practices of the appointive
officers under successive administrations
and want a change. The Record wants
bill to be presented to the people of
Alaska for their approval by ballot, then
forwarded to Congress with demand for
its approval by that body. Aaskans are
advised by the Mining Record to rise as
one man and unfurl the motto alaska
for Alaskans," to elect their own judicial
officers and resist all processes emanating
from officials whose tenure of office is
under the organic act.
