Peculiar Mistake.
OwINGsvILLE, KY, May 17.-Ike

Jail here some time on a charge of OBJ
tanning money on forged order, se-
cured his release in a very peculiar
manner. In jail at the same time on an
other charge was man by the name of
Brown, one of whose friends sent in the
power OF attorney for his name to be
signed to q bail bond for Brown In
making up the bond the name of Stuart
by accident became substituted for
that of Brown, and thus Stuart was
released on the bond Of q man who
had probably never seen or heard of
him.
Stuart fed the country after, it is
said, having secured $50 on another
order
