Two prisoners escaped from Justice
Bliss court this afternoon, during a tenn
porary cessation of the c~onstabulary
vigilance. A number of prisoners were
in court this afternoon, and among them
were two charged with petit larceny, who
had pleaded not guilty. AS the court
room is small and the unusual number of
culprits crowded it, the prisoners, who
had pleaded, We're placed in a room adj
joining the court room, and while the at
tention of the justice and his constable
was given to other matters two of the
prisoners managed to open a window,
force a screen and escape. Another was
in the act of making q hasty exit When
the constable discovered the delivery.
Court was Immediately adjourned and
the constable is now making a vigilant
search for the missing men.
The greatest caution was exercised in
removing the men from the county Jail
to the court room of Justice Bliss, six Of
them being chained together. However,
the shackles were removed as soon as
they arrived at their destination.

DREAMED THREE TIMES.

The body of Richard Miller. who was
lost last fall, was found Monday after
noon buried in a sand pit on the old
water road out of Battle Creek.
The credit for the discovery belongs to
Mrs. Julia Ward. who claims to have
had a dream last winter in which she
saw the body placed in a rough box and
earned to a marsh near Athens, where
1t was buried. Three times did she
dream the self-same thing. and Their she
resolved to investigate it. The weather
then was too cold to do much, so she
waited n or last Monday started on
her search. BY a fortunate train of cir
cumstances she stopped at Mrs. Miller's
10 rest and thet two together walked over
TO the sand bank, where young Miller
was last seen alive. Here Mrs Ward
happened to see a black object protrud-
i.i= from the sand. and giving it a jerk
was Mortified to find it was a human foot,
blackened and decayed almost bevond
recognition. Help was summoned and a
little digging soon exposed the entire
body. The feet We're bare and pant legs
rolled up and everything tailed with the
description of the missing lad. The re-
mains We're in terrible shape, the flesh
being decayed to the bone in many places

was at his best and the address was one
Of the best ever delivered in the city.
He spoke of the recurring conditions
that have and are still bringing men
closer together, for which the fraternal
organizations are entitled to the highest
credit. Addressing the members of the
Woodmen of the World, he said that the
order was doing noble work, and espe-
cially commended the insurance feature
of the organization.
In concluding, the pastor hoped that
the Woodmen would not sanction the
dissertation of the Sabbath by giving eX-
cu1sious and picnics on that day, as
other orders had done.
