Chas. Felkner, who was convicted a
short time ago Of killing his brother

cured. by some means unknown to
the officers, steel saw, a punch and
loaded revolver and had it not been
for the nerve of Deputy Sheriff Fitz-
simmons the prisoner would have un-
doubtedly escaped.
Felkner sawed his way through the
roof of the sheet iron cage that en-
closes the four tiers of cells in the
county jail, and then sawed his way
through the steel bars of a window
in the wall of the building.
With the aid of a rope made out of
grey blankets, torn in strips and WOW.
en- four-ply, he let himself out of a
window thirty-five feet from the
ground and was hanging in mid air
when detected by the deputy sheriff.
The deputy conducted him back to
his cell at the point Of a revolver and

jority OF persons are willing TO pay an
extra price when they know that the
eggs purchased are fresh. No one
can make a speciality OF supplying
fresh eggs unless he carefully avoids
those eggs found in stolen nests or in
out-of-the-way places. The reputa-
tion for supplying choice fresh eggs
must be made, and no mistakes must
occur at any time, as a single bad
