The rainmakers must have been kept
pretty steadily at work Of late, and
| should cease their efforts for awhile
or it will not be safe for them TO put in
an appearance during the summer. A

w. v. Laird OF Wilmot, on his way
home from WatertoWn stopped over for
short time in Milhank Wednesday.
Mr.. Laird says that government officials
and land attorneys at WatertoWn seem
TO be as much at sea as the general pub

/ Two prisoners made their escape from
the county bastle last Friday evening.
They were both sent here from Day
county to await trial at the coming term
Of court for that county, one OF them,
| Thos. Rooney, on the charge OF keeping
a blind pig, and the other, John Leonard,
on d charge Of grand larceny. The pris-
oners made their escape BY saving the
! iron bars in the windows on the south
side, which was done at intervals. the
marks being filled up with paint scraped
from the wall until they were ready to
take their departure. The discovery
that the birds had flown was made when
the janitor took the prisoners their sup
per. after which they would have been
locked up for the night. AS it was then
dark, the runaways had got we'll on their
way, and though diIligent effort was made
to capture them they could net be locat-
ed. and 40 positive Information has been
received of their whereabouts since.
The prisoners undoubtedly had outside
help, at least to the extent Of furnishing
them tool to work with, which could be
easily done, as the approach to the WIN
dows is practically unobstructed.

astic over the singing OF the Quartette

but the Quartette "Annie Laurie and
