Respected Citizen Gone to Rest.

Robert Norris was born in Allegheny
county June End, 1929, and died at his
home in Winslow township, Feb. Ord,
1897. He was son Of John and Mary
Elizabeth Norris, who came from
Ireland to this country. Mr.. Norris
came to jefferson county when twenty
years OF age. He later married Miss
Jane Mays, Of Clarion county. They
have lived their entire welded life In
or near the community they are now
residing In. Father Norris professed
faith In Christ In February, 1874, and
united with the Zion Cumberland
Presbyterian church. Early in his
religious life he was elected elder OF
the church and filled that Office with
honor and credit until the time Of his
departure. He was many times
member OF the Allegheny Presbytery
In its annual meetings and was honored
In 1895 by representing his Presbytery
in the General Assembly at Meridian,
Miss.
Father Norris was loved by all who
knew him. He was great student Of
the Bible. He loved to talk on religious
topics. He was never at a loss to find
scripture for all the walks and scenes
Of this life. Our church has lost
devoted and loyal elder, the family has
lost a loving and kind father, the
community has lost a good citizen,
neighbor and friend, and Heaven has
won its own.
He leaves TO mourn his departure, a
wife, three sons, John NJ, James G. and
Robert W., and four daughters, Misses
Mary and Adrian Anna, Mrs. Margaret
f. Chambers, Of Reynoldsville, Mrs.
Nancy J. DeHaven, Of Johnsonburg,
four brothers and four sisters. Funeral
was conducted by his pastor, Rev. Harry
G. Teagarden, Friday forenoon. A
large concourse of people followed his
remains TO their last resting place In
the North churchyard, near Panic.

Why He Limps.

Postmaster Evan Trego McGaw has
been doctoring game leg since Sun
day. He packed his family into two
horse turnout Sunday and started to
the Beechwoods settlement TO spend
the day with his mother-in-law, his
wife's mother and the children's grand
mother. Before reaching their destina-
tion they struck bad piece Of road on
a side hill and the Postmaster stopped
the horses real quick and attempted to
jump out to hold the sleigh from up
setting, but he got tangled in the robes
and took tumble, the sleigh and its
contents on top of him. And that is
why he limps.

vile at one time, had many friends here
who held her in high esteem and learned
of her death with sadness.

last Saturday. He was scraping coal
of the track with his hand In front Of q
loaded coal car and the car ran over his

Excitement in School.

There was quite an excitement In the
West Reynoldsville school last Thurs
day afternoon for few minutes, caused
by the stove in o. II. Johnston's room
filed with redhot Goals taking tumble.
The stove had game leg and as the
teacher walked close to the stove 1t fell
over. Naturally enough the pupils were
frightened. The stove and its contents
was handled so judiciously that there
was no damaging results.

Near Brookville.
Joseph Aiello, the italian who was
convicted Of murder and sentenced to
be hanged, escaped from the Brookville
jail Friday night and was recaptured
within three miles Of Brookville, by w.
g. Smith and Bert Burns, Sunday even
ing at the farm house OF William Nc
Cracken, where he was getting warm.
He told the people at McCracken's
house that he was looking for red and
white COW. He was first found hiding
In the haymow in Jacob Hawks barn.
He was In two or three other barns and
then went into McCracken's to get
warm. When first discovered Hawk
and man named vasbinder started TO
Brookville to notify the sheriff. He
offered no resistance when recaptured.
Aiello had his plans we'll laid for his
escape, but being a stranger In that
section got bewildered and circled
around and came back almost to the
II
which he escaped, had been cut before
Friday night. II Is believed that all
the prisoners knew Of the intended
escape and that the two bars were cut
in their presence during the day time.
Aiello stuffed an old suit Of his clothes
with other old clothing, cut of some Of
Iis a In ond ,,ostad 10 nm tho d,,yprnu for
amustache, and put capon the stuffed
man and pasted hair under the cap,
making 1t good representative to put
in his bunk In the cell, and then Aiello
hid in the bath room and when the
turnkey made the rounds to lock the
cells he mistook the dummy for Aiello
and locked IL In the cell. Aiello says
he was in the bath room peeping out at
the turnkey and as quick as the turnkey
left the jail he took piece Of the iron
railing from the second floor Of the
cage, descended to where the iron bars
were sawed, bent them so he could
squeeze through, took the iron railing
back, put it IN its proper place and
then crawled out through the hole, up
the outside OF the cage to ceiling,
through the hole in the ceiling that
had been made by couple Of prisoners
who escaped about a year ago, into the
garret. Aiello says he wandered around
in the garret for fifteen or twenty
minutes and was about giving up hope
Of escape and going down into Jail again
when he found the door out OF the
garret to the hallway. According to
his story he escaped before nine o'clock
in the evening. When he got out he
ran as fast as he could. He cut his
mustache off that night in the woods
with pen-knife.
The prisoners are allowed two slices
Of bread apiece for each meal and on
Friday they sent out for four extra
pieces and when Aiello was recaptured
he had two slices OF the bread in his
pockets. Besides the bread he had
pen-knife and fifty cents in his pockets.
He found an old pair OF pants and a
shirt which he put on over his own
clothing, and wore the old sloueh hat
that had figured as evidence in the
Dodson case. When returned to Jail
he said he would never hang. He was
Tery sad looking man Monday after.
noon.
All the prisoners are now locked in
their cells and have not the use of the
cage as they had before. A guard is
on night and day. Aiello will be
watched closely.
