Sunday evening, but also had the good
luck to re-capture him on Monday
morning. The sheriff went into the
corridor of the Jail on Sunday evening
for some purpose and ascended the
stairs to the upper tier of cells, leaving
the outside door unfastened. AS he
was going UP the stairs, one Of the
prisoners, Shelter by name, who had
hidden himself near the door, sneaked
through the door and took to his heels.
The sheriff did not miss him until he
came to his cell in making the rounds
of the Jail. Not finding him there he
started search for him and when he
could not be located in the Jail, after
locking all the other prisoners in sepa-
rate cells he started out to look for
him. He spent most of Sunday night
in the search and was unable to locate
him. Monday morning the sheriff was
called to Wilkes-Barre and took the
morning train at this station. AS the
train was standing at the La Grange
station, a few miles below here, the
sheriff saw his man getting on the
rear end of the train. He started af-
ter him and the fellow jumped and
ran. The sheriff stuck to him, how
ever. and succeeded in catching him
and bringing him back to the Jail here
on the next train. When brought back
