Cumberland News of last Thurs
day.
Owen Sturgeon, who was serving
a nine months sentence in the jail
here for an assault on Will and
Tom Brown at Friendsville last
spring, was released from Jail some
time during Sunday night by an
unknown person who entered the
sheriff's house and passed through
the hall leading to the Jail door.
Evidently the person knew all the
combinations to the Jail locks for
he opened the Jail door and passed
into the corridor containing the
cells. Sturgeon was in cell No. 2,
the door of which was unlocked
and he (Sturgeon) released. Then
the two passed out through the
sheriff's house. One other prisoner,
Dan Banks, who is also confined in
the Jail heard the men but was
afraid to give an alarm.
/ The Columbia Daily Calendar
remains the only valuable daily pad
calendar. The calendar for '93 is
of the same general designs as that
of previous years, consisting of 366
leaves, one for every dav in the year,
and calendar for the entire year.
The day of the week, of the month,
and of the year are given, and on
each leaf is a short sermon on the
Gospel of Outdoors, Health, and
Happiness" with valuable hints
on practical road making. The
leaves are so arranged that there
will be no stub left, and each one
can be referred to at any time dur
ing the year. The pad is upon a
metallic stand of ivory black, ar
ranged SO as to rest upon the desk
at convenient angle. The pad
matter, which in the aggregate is
enough to make book, is all fresh
and new, and is of more pertinent
value than that of any previous cal
enter. The calendar is issued by
the Pope Mfg. Co., of Boston, New
York, and Chicago.
