Mr.. THos. WHITFoRD, who Is up

A RuMoR that the man Holcomb,
who recently made his escape from
the county Jail at Dodgeyille, was u
member of certain secret order,
which was due to his escape, is with
| out any foundation. District Attor-
ney Pollard. on being asked TO the
correctness of the report, said that
| he wasn't member Of any secret
order-didn'te even belong to n circus.
This was the most unkindest cut Of
all"
LAST Friday Messrs. viii Fisher,
| VIII Clark, James and Amos Nor
gan left this city for Shullsburg, but
on reaching the home Of Clarence
Morgan at Seymore they found a
party Of about l25 enjoying a social
dance, so upon kind invitation they
remained and helped to make things
lively. The party proceeded on to
Shullsburg the next day, remaining
until Sunday afternoon, when they
started horneward after an enjoyable
trip.
THE Chronicle Of last week speaks
Of the negligence Of our past and
present county sheritfs, on the es-
capes Of prisoners. 1t says, whether
the escape Of the prisoner last week
was wholly due to the negligence OF
the sheriff or not, remains partially
in doubt" This is an insinuation en-
tirely uncalled for. and it may make
trouble for the Chronicle, at least m
mors to that effect are afloat II ap'
pears, as far as our knowledge OF th'
facts goes, that there is good cause
for case against the lawyer editor
Of that paper.
