MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Jan. z3.-William
Stevenson, colored 0rusty) convict sent
up from Marion county, escaped from the
Prison North yesterday evening at O'Clock
and was captured this evening near New
Buffalo, Mich. by Charles Timm. Steven
son, with three other convicts, were taken
from their cells after supper last night to
work on the new house being built for
the deputy warden. Stevenson gave his
guard the slip and escaped. The alarm was
given and guards started in pursuit. When
Stevenson was first seen by his captorS ne
had mustache. Two hours later, when
caught, his face was perfectly smooth. MT
Timm concluded he did not have the right
man, but after making him take on his
rubber coat and remove the pieces OF an
old shawl wrapped about his pants, he found
that he had a man dressed in full suit OF
stripes. His mustache had been removed
with a case-knife sharpened for the oc-
casion. There seems to be but little use
of convicts attempting TO escape from
Warden Harley and his corps OF efficient
assistants.

William H. Wilkins, one Of the wealthy
farmers of the county. Judge Ellison, in

lecture Mrs Wilkins severely. 1t appears
that she came to Summitvlle few years

wilkins. After much persistence her ef-
forts were rewarded and marriage resulted.
1t was shown in the trial that the woman
seeking the divorce and alimony had said
that she did not care for wilkins, but
he found the defendant worth $1,000, with
obligations amounting TO 5000 leaving $l2.-
600 in property and that in ordinary cases
the wife would have been awarded one
third Of the estate, but that Mrs. Wilkins
had married wilkins in order TO get his
money and was a finascial adventures, and

non-residents own about two-thirds of the
grove property, it is easy to see that so
far as they are concerned the freeze was
a mere trifle. With hardly an exception,
they have promptly furnished the money

TALLY attended to their groves.
Now what is true OF this immediate vi
entity is also true of all other orange
growing sections of Florida. But for
the nonresident grove owners of means,
or who have good salaries to depend up
on, the freeze would have nearly ruined
the state. What these non-residents have
paid out in cash for labor on and care
of their grove property, has carried the
resident grove owners, without other in
comes, through the terrible crisis of the
past two years. Then the winter resident
