Train After Delivering a Prisoner.

OPA sSAACu HIS Ankle jumping From n
Train After. Delivering Prisoner.
Sheriff Hill is going about on
clutches as the result of a badly
sprained ankle.
Several days ago he took John
Henry Davis, the negro who burglar
lied twenty-five or thirty homes in
Dawson last summer and was SEN
fenced at the recent session of the
superior court to the state reforma-
tory, to the depot for the purpose
OF delivering him to a representative
OF the reformatory who was passing
through from some other point, and
before he left the train it started of.
The sheriff, rather than go on an
unexpected journey up the road and
return on the next train, jumped to
the ground and badly wrenched his
left ankle, the injury being so Sc
we're that he was confined to his home
the first three or four days. 1t will
be several weeks, if not months, be-
fore he entirely RECEIVERS.
