Broussard has come into considerable
prominence recently iy a of his

tie stealing which has been going on

forts that the evidence was secured

Wednesday morning, it was report
ed in town that one of the prisoners
had punched a hole through the jail
wall and made his escape. Investiga-
ton proved this to be a fact. Adam
Gaspard a young mar about % years
old charged with having stolen several
head Of cattle from his uncle Theazime
Gaspard and Francois Lima of Spring
Hill, has been in Jail for several weeks
being unable to furnish bail. Owing
to the crowded condition Of the cage
he was given the freedom Of the Jail
du ring the day ard locked up at night.
Since the illness Of Aleide Leblanc, the
jailor, the duties Of that position have
been discharged by some OF the other
deputies who were not familiar with
the disposition of the prisoners, as only
those charged with penal otfenses are
kept in the iron cells. Hence, by an
oversight Gaspard was not locked up
Tuesday night, and he improved the
opportunity by making a hole through
the wall under the window of the mis-
demeanor room, using for the purposes
small iron bar which served as 4 lker.
It is supposed that he escaped about Y
o'clock according to the reckoning Of
Thomas Burke a fellow prisoner VINO
refused to seek his liberty.
Sheriff Hebert and bis deputies were
soon in the saddle in chase of the es-
capped bird. they finally located him
hidden in the Cherokee rose hedge
around Atelas d. MeauA's pasture
about ten miles west of town. He
promptly surrendered when called upon
and said that he broke out Of Jail in
order that he might join the army and
fight the Spanish. The sheriff hated
to crush such Il patriot soul and told
him that while it was his duty to lock
him up injail be would endeavor to
have him put in the army.
