Joined In the search. There was a Sc

up under the portrayal OF the tragedy
which they felt TO be coming.
Finally the workers moved the car on
the supposed mangied from. and q

severe.
Passengers on the car expressed their
indignation that such a heartless prank

in the hands OF the Island police ON

said TO have been guilty Of the prank.
Names Of certain boys who used the

Broke Jail.

Burt Schenk, who has been confined
in the county Jail for the last 20 days,
broke Jail on last Friday night. and up
TO this writing has not been re-captured.
1t will he remembered that young
Schenk was arrested over two months
ago, charged with the crime Of stealing
some $4,000 from the house of James
Henderson, at his ranch on north
French creek in the Penobscot district.
The ingenious manner in which he
managed to make his escape, would in
dictate that he had some experience in
the art Of jail breaking. or had been
wonderfully well uttered in the bust
ness. He had been guarded with more
than common vigilance, and kept in the
iron cage, which was securely locked
every night. BY the use of two case
knives, one of which he had made into
a saw, and by taking the impression of
the lock on the outer door, he made a
key Of wood, and escaped some time
during the night 30 quietly as not to
disturb the deputy sheriff, who was
sleeping in the main room Of the Jail,
which is situated "a the basement Of the
court house.
Although at present at large there is
not much doubt that he will soon be ro-
taken, for in these days of telegraphs
and telephones it is almost impossible
for a prisoner to make his final escape.
Such has been the case with nearly
every offender in these days who dares
disobey the mandates of the law.

A Strange Relic.

Jos. Gilchrist, B. & NJ. agent at Pringle,
is something of a student of geology and
prospects for minerals at times. Quite
recently he started in at the foot of a
large pine tree and going down through
eight feet Of rock and soil, that has
not been disturbed by man or nature for
ages, struck a piece Of metal. Further
investigation revealed a gun of curious
make. The barrel, perhaps 80 inches
long, is thick and evidently designed
for a rife. The stock lie of metal, hol-
low and light. A hammer Of quaint
design carries a point hat strikes
through a slot to explode a shell. There
are no evidences of flint box, or cap
nipple nor are there any signs of a
trigger of any kind. A curious rear
sight but no forward sight. Loops for a
ramroad. No inscription or date can
be found upon it. 1t can be seen at any
time hanging in the depot and Mr.. Gil
christ takes great pleasure in exhibiting
the strange relic Of the people an age
long gone by.-Hot Springs Herald.

denotes. His discourse was marked by
several illustrations. Some Of the lead
ing points we note briefly. The shaping
of the lives Of our children depends
largely upon their contact with reading
material. One may be deprived of per-
sonal associations with good and great
writers, but they may enter into the
spirit Of the author and grow in strength
and ability by reading those books with
a purpose.
The lecture was q rare treat and
should Mr.. Warren return at any future
time he will be greeted by many friends
that he has made during his short So
journ among u.s. At the close of the
discourse, Miss Drew was made the
happy recipient of an elegant toilet set
including a beautiful paper knife of
ivory and silver, given by the teachers
and instructors in institute assembled.
Professor Mullen, who will register at
Hill City this year, gave the present
with fitting and appropriate remarks.
Miss Drew responded with q few words
of appreciation. In her utter surprise
she was almost speechless but she felt
what words could not express. After
kindly thanking all who took part in the
preparation of this event in her life, N.
K. Griggs was asked to favor the audi
ence with a solo. In his usual manner
he sang "The good old times" after in

w. e. Benedict. accompanied by his

Boston. En- route they will visit the
exposition and stop O few days in Chi
cago on business. Mr.. Benedict goes to
Boston as a representative from this
state to the Sovereign Grand Lodge, |.
0. o. r., which body holds a six day
session in the latter city about the
middle of the present month. The
Sovereign Grand Lodge is the highest
legislative body. as well IS the supreme
judicial tribunal of the Independent
order of Odd Fellows, and the election
of Mr.. Benedict as a member OF that
body is q tribute 10 his legislative and
judicial ability. Mr.. Benedict has been
a member Of the State Grand Lodge for
the past eight years, and that body Of
men, evidently recognizing his ability
to serve the order elected him to the
Sovereign Grand Lodge. If Mr. Bene-
dict should be nominated and elected
TO the state senate this tall, as now
seems probable, his services in the legis.
lative bodies Of the l. o. o. f. will
qualify him for valuable service to this
senatorial district in the state senate.
