NARROW ESCAPE.
William Radman, an Employe at the
McMeehen Preserving Plant on the
South Side, the Victim of an Acct
dent that Nearly Cost Him His
Life.

About o'clock yesterday morning,
William Redman, an employee OF tho
Geo. X. McAiechen & Son Companys
plant, on the South Side, was the
victim of thrilling accident, which
nearly cost him his life. He was
working around large shafting that
runs large fan for ventilation when
in some manner his shirt sleeve caught
in coupling joint. He would certain
ly have been dragged into and crushed
by the cogs had it not been for the
prompt action of August Leach, o fell
low workman, who happened near at
the time. Leach held tenaciously TO
him while Redmans sleeve was torn
from his shirt Ine strain as it was,
was great enough TO dislocate Red
mans arm at the joint, and tear away
the flesh at the armpit.
The injured man was removed to
the office of DR.. Rau. where his injur-
les were dressed and later he was ia
ken home. Redman is also suffering
from the mental shock received.

FLOATER FOUND.

Yesterday the body of a man was
found in the river at Marietta. A
search of the clothing revealed a re-
ceipt made out to J. W. Allen, and this
clue led to the belief the dead man
was from Sistersville. There are two
men of that name in the oil town, but
both were accounted for, and last
evening the victim was thought to be
Walter Allen, an oil well employee, who
has not been seen about Sistersville for
some time The body appeared to
have been in the water for some time,
possibly since before the recent cold
snap.

ESCAPED FROM THE OHIO PEN
ITENTIARY - THE PRISONER
WELL KNOWN IN THIS CITY.
Yesterday Officer Gardner, of this
city, made flying trip to Scio, Ohio,
and succeeded in capturing John
Holmes, a convict who recently escap-
ed from the Ohio penitentiary, where
he bore the number %, 023.
Holmes is we'll known in this city,
and is cook by occupation. He was
sent to the penitentiary for three years
from Franklin county, Ohio, February
Is, 1897, and was particularly well
known to Officer Gardner, from whom
he once stole one hundred and fifty
dollars.
The local police received information
that Holmes was at Scio, and the Off
Ger left for that place early yesterday.
AS he got off the train the fugitive saw
and recognized Gardner, and at once
broke for tall timber, with the Wheel
ing blue-coat in pursuit. Holmes
struck out for Jewett, which is a sta
ton on the railroad seven or eight
miles from Scio, and the officer fol-
lowed. 1t was a great race, the two
arriving at Jewett but a few minutes
apart. Holmes saw train just pulling
out from the station, and sprang on
the platform of the front car. Officer
Gardner arrived in time to catch the
rear platform of the last car, and
started through the train after his man.
Holmes saw the officer coming, jumped
from the train and started through an
old corn field, where the mud was
about a foot deep. Alex. followed, es-
Gaping from the train at the risk Of
having his neck broken, and Shy some
tall hustling overlook and captured his
man. He was locked up, and will be
returned to Columbus by an officer
from the penitentiary, who will prob
ably arrive this morning.
