LOVED AN OLD MoNTANAN.
Story Of Miss McDonaId's Engage
ment to James w. Gilman.

Story of Miss McDonaId's Engage
ment to James W. Gilman.
Boston, Feb. 25.-The case of Miss
Mcdonald, who is being brought here
from Chicago, where she has been in
an insane asylum, recalls a circum-
stance which occurred seven years
ago.
She met James w. Gilman, who
had settled in Melrose Highlands af-
|ter having made a fortune in Montana,
in sheep ranching. He fell in love
with Miss Mcdonald, and it was said
she returned his affection despite the
disparity in their ages, he being 60
and she &c. 1t was said that Gilman
made " property worth $4,000 to
her, chiefly in western real estate.
Mr.. Gilman's family interfered, and
a married daughter applied to the
court for a conservator of her fathers
estate, Mr.. Gilman's son-in-law being
appointed. The result was that the
engagement was broken off.
A Boston lawyer tonight said:
miss Mcdonald was of a very relig-
ious turn of mind and she was much
affected by this breaking off of the
engagement with Mr.. Gilman. After
the breach came she voluntarily deed
ed back the property to Mr.. Gilman.
Mr.. Gilman's daughter also brought
suit for the return of money given to
Miss Mcdonald. I think the amount
sued for was about $4,000 or$4, 900. This
suit we defended for Miss Mcdonald
and she won it: After hat Miss Nc
Donald did not seem to be the same
person. Her religious disposition
manifested itself more than ever, and
she retired for a time to a convent.
About two years ago all trace of her
seemed to become lost and the last
heard of her was in the west"

A Big JAIL DELIVERY
Several Prisoners Escaped From the
Jail at Mayfeld.
They Filed the Steel Bars and Five
We're This Morning
Missing.
NONE ARE REoAPTURED YET

There was q big Jail delivery last
night at Msyfeld and this morning
the Jail was found to contain few
prisoners.
When the jailer awoke this morning
and went into his Jail he found that
the steel bars had been sawed and filed
in two and that five of his prisoners
had made good their escape. The pris-
oners who are missing are John Tally.
speck Sawyer. Bull Collier, Ed Gar
ter and Res Dicke.
1t was only few days ago that sew
eral files, saws, ropes and chisels were
found in the Jail and it was then
thought that all further attempts to
effect Jail delivery would meet with
failure as the Jail was watched pretty
closely and no one was allowed TO
carry anything suspicious into the
building. The men left . saw and file
behind them, il Is said, and after
having gained the outside Of the
building jumped over q 25 foot fence,
thereby effeoting their escape. None
had been reoaptured at press time
this afternoon.
Il was only . short time ago that
two prisoners dashed out the door
when the jailer opened it and climbed
tall fence before they escaped.
One was Tom Tinker, charged with
burglary.
