HAS A COMEDY JAIL.
In EIizabethtown, n. J., Prisoners Are
Locked Out Instead of In.

Locked OuI Luetcao d Ahs
Elizabethtown. the county seat of
Essex. In the Adirondacks, possesses a
comedy Jail, says the Philadelphis
Ledger. 1t is small. having windows
secured BY wooden BARS and the Jail
yard inciosed@by a solid fence of three.
q~uarter-inch boards, which a healthy
man could push over with his shoulder.
But the prisoners rarely, if ever, at.
tempt to escape.
Some good stories are told by Judge
kellogg. Judge Hand and other resi-.
dents. 1t is a custom to allow the
prisoners out on parole, so that they
may cut the grass on neighborins
lawns, do garden work or repair roads
for the village and county, Recently
one prisoner who should have returned
at 8 O'clock did not apply for admission
until nearly an hour later. The war
den ahgrily demanded to know the rea.
son, and added;
Don't let this occur again, or l viii.
not allow you to come in. l lock the
door at 8 O'clock and won't open 1t in
the future for you"
Another. accused of and awaiting
trial for manslaughter, overstayed his
parole and pleaded as an excuse that,
as 1t was Saturday. he thought he
would go, and spend Sunday with, his
wife. returning to the Jail on Monday.

They drove to the Justices house.
The robbery had been discovered by

through the house three or four times
q week to see that all was well. but did
not live there. She had reported the
case"to t h local police-a day and a.

aries were present, with a dozen of the
neighbofs. when Green and his com
papions arrived.
Green consulted bis watch, and the
no slowly walked into the hall, where.
the old-fashioned safe built into the.
wall gaped emptily. He glanced around
with listless eye, while everybody
watched him. Then he walked into the.
parlor and stood for half a minute by
the mantelpiece. -
From this room he passed through.
adj the others in the house. a slow pro1
cession following him. Finally he led
them to the starting point, the broad
hall, and there he sat dow upon the
stairs and looked at his watch, which
he had consulted occasionally In the
course of his stroll.

Green. MIR. Jones, l believe you are al

my report to you, sir. This robbery

announces the discovery Of mountains
on Venus. To observers hitherto the
planet has seemed wrapped In an i'm.
p~enetrable envelope of cloud, which.
when near the earth, is the cause of
Its astonishing brilliancy; but Herr
Arendt. who has had the instruments

TO work with. considers that he has
detected markings IN Venus which in
dictate the presence, of great eieva-
lions, seer from time to time through
the clouds surrounding it,
Novel as the suggestion Is, 1t is but
a revival of an old idea. Long G
Schroter fancied he saw evidence of
mountains on Venus in the raggedness
of the term~inator-that Is, the line
where light and shade meet, such as
the inner line of the crescent moon.
He went so far as to measure them,
enS announced that hey were TWEEN
ty-hve miles high. But then no one
had believed thin. Markings have been
noticed on the bright planet from very
early times, from which 1t was con-
cluded that 1t rotated In about TWEEN
ty-four hours, Its day being the same
length as our own. Herr Arendt's OBJ.
seryations point to the same results.

Special to Review)

Douglas, June 19.-Thls morning number of Bisbee peoole got of tht train. There was 9 couple of prize fighters in the crowd. and of course curiosity was aroused
 The cause of the Bisbee delegation coming to Douglas was soon learned Jack Bolan and Joe Strinker were un der arrest for prize fighting contrary to the laws of the United States.
 Deputy United States Marsha Hill made the arrests in Bisbee yester day, and the men were brought t1 Douglas to be tried before United States Commissioner PirtIe.
 J. H. Campbell, assistant United States attorney, acted for the govern, ment.
 Several witnesses were examinei and from the evidence Commissions P1rtle decided that the law had been broken and that the fighters must an swer to the United States grand iurv. which meets in Tombstone on the 9th of July
 As Bolan was the greatest offender. his bond was fixed at $500. which he says he don't think he can give Strinker's bond was fixed at $500, which he says he will put up.
 The witnesses examined were A. r. Stumpf, of The Review who saw the fight and reported it for the paper: N, P. Guild, Sid Coburn and Jim Nichols. and the defendants.
 The trial created quite a little stir in town. All the witnesses and tho defendants returned to Bisbee on the afternoon train.
 Yesterday Mexican in Agua Prieta was severely bitten by several dogs which threw him to the ground and chewed him up frightfully. The man was so badly hurt that a physician was called to dress the wounds. Dr. Lfndly was summoned. and found the wounded man in a pretty bad way. It was necessary to cau.erize the doy oites to prevent blood poisoning. To day the Mexican is getting along as
  well as could be expected. + is a wonder that other people besides this Mexican have not been bitten by some Of the town dogs these very hot days. The present hot spell does not i'm prove the temper of half-starved dog. Within the last few days several dogs aoout town have acted strangely. and Douglas is liable to have a number ot mad dogs to deal out hydrophobia to people who are on the streets. The cowboys who are coming into Douglas lately tell of great spread of hydro. phooia among the coyotes, and this malady is often given by the wild coy oteS to the dogs that venture out into the brush. By using a little caution and killing of few of the yagrant dogs a whole lot of trouble can be saved here in Douglas.
