sFor the third time within six
months has there been an attempt

tempt was unsuccessful.
s For the past few days the nineteen
prisoners have been seemingly happy
and have been continuously singing.
They are well organized but Sheriff

their tricks. Whenever there is so
much singing in the Jail there is also
some devilment going on So on
Sunday evening the officers knew that
the singing was not so much for an
outpouring Of the spirit as for an out
pouring of their physical bodies.
The officers watched and listened
but could find out nothing. Yester-
day the music continued and the
watch was also carefully kept some
Suspicious characters were seen lurk-
ing around and last night they let it
out. A man passing saw two men
near the Jail and heard them say that
the saws must be inside so that they
could get out through the roof. Sher-
iff$ Jollif was informed and again lis |
tened to- hear something This time
was not in vain for the boys We're
talking about going through the roof
The jail was Immediately inspected
and the steel ceiling was found to
be torn loose for distance of about
three feet. All was ready for TIE
prisoners to pull it down and then,
when all was quiet, they would have

There were four meetings partici-

E. F. Morgan and H. E. Moran ad-
dressed the voters at Forksburg and
the people there are getting ready for
next Tuesday, when a record.break-
ing Republican vote will be polled.
Captain Kemble White addressed
fair sized crowd at Barnstown. This
community is recognized as being in
excellent condition. Captain White
emphasized the points which have
been told the voters over there on
several occasions and many Demo-
Gratis declare they will vote for the
tax reform candidates.
The joint discussion at Kingmont
was one of the most interesting yet
held Personalities We're entirely |
laid aside and the questions handled |
in sincerity by the representatives of |
both sides. Attorney A. o. Stanley
opened the discussion, as per agree
ment, in forty minutes speech; he
was followed by Attorney P. NJ. Hoge
in a like period. Captain Nicely then
spoke thirty minutes, Mr.. Lough clos
ing the discussion in twenty minutes.
The good people of Kingmont are
wondering to-day how honest men can
see things in such different lights one
