anything concerning the affair, 20 the
details Of his delivery are somewhat
meagre.

strength to bend one Of the upright bars
Of the window enough to pass one end
from its holdings and the rest was m
easy matter.
<As soon = the discovery of his de-
parture was made, efforts to locate him
were begun but up TO the present writ

tiers at Sault Ste Marie, although this
change will not take place for period
of six months. His many L'Ansc
friends will join in wishing him success
