JACK cADE.
ns Wa. Killed With an Arrow by Tho
Sheriff of Kent.

He Was Killed With an Arrow by The
Sheriff of Kent.
One Of the mysteries Of history Is
that surrounding the arch traitor Jack
Cade. Nearly all historians have de-
scribed him as ag Irishman. He was
really born in Sussex, where he was
n youth servant to one Sir Thom-
rs Dagre.
This Sir Thomas Dagre, or Dacre,
was a Sussex knight of great emf
nence, who had seats at Hurstmsp-
ceaux and Heathfield, in that county.
Cade has for several centuries been
common name about Alayfield and
Heathfield. as is proved as we'll by nu-
merons entries in the parish registers
as by lands and localities designated
from that family. After his defeat
near London Cade took to the Sussex
woods, and he finally would have cs-
capped If his reckless courage had not
brought him out into the open.
1t is traditionally related that he was
engaged in gaine of bowls in the gar
den Of little ale house Mt Hcathtield
when n Kentisli squire. Sir Alexander
Iden. sheriff of Kent. taking HIM una
wares, killed him with an arrow
