A seduction case was up before Judge
Crawford Saturday. All the parties
interested are from Iowa. The defen-

Pinkerton. The prisoner waived eX-
animation and was remanded to the
custody Of the sheriff until the necess-
airy requisition papers arrived from
Iowa. The papers came Tuesday and
yesterday morning the entire party left
for Iowa, but about ten O'Clock a tele-
gram reached Sheriff Pinkerton that
the prisoner jumped the train about
five miles south of Milton and could
not be found. Up to the hour IF going
to press the culprit had not been re-
captured.

garment, which is fifty-seven inches in
length, and circular in design, is com.
posed entirely of certain small and
particularly delicate feathers OF prairie
chickens. Only five or six feathers Of
this peculiar kind are found on asingle
bird, consequently the cloak represents
not only ten years patient labor, but
the plumage of hundreds of birds
! The feathers were sewed to the foun
dation one at time and deeply over
