YORK, Pa, Aug. l2th.-Risking almost
certain death, but with desperate chance
for liberty, Scott johnson, % years old, q
confessed murderer whom Sheriff Il, 6,
Hager, of Cecil county, Maryland, had
brought $500 miles from Santa Rosa, Cal.
ifornia, leaped from fast express train
passing through here at s o'clock this
morning and escaped. He is still at large
tonight, although city and county are
being secured by officers, and the police
OF many other towns have been notified,
Sheriff Hager who had watched his
prisoner almost day and night on the
long journey, relaxed his vigilance for
but a moment on what was to have been
the last day of bis trip, and in that mo.
ment johnson gave him the slip.
Played the Innocent Game
johnson, a slow.speaking and quiet.
hammered youth, had won the confidence
Of the Sheriff on bis trip East. When
ever possible stops we're made over night
at towns, where the prisoner was placed
in the local jail and his captor obtained
much-needed rest at hotel. When twas
necessary to spend the night upon the
train johnson slept in his shackles. Oc-
casionally he was permitted slight liber-
ties, and when, within days journey of
home, The youth, after leaving York this
morning. asked the officer to remove bis
leg shackles, Hager cav no reason for re-
fusing. In short time johnson came
from the washroom and requested that
bis hand-cuffs also be removed that be
might enter the toilet-room.
Hager complied and was busy himself
about bis own toilet few minutes later
when the small boy came to him with
the information that bis man had come
from the toilet.room and jumped from
the rear platform.
Unable to get the train stopped, she
Sheriff dashed of q message to inform
York county officer Of the escape. This
message was thrown from the train at
Hanover Junction; but another delay
was experienced when the railroad agent
there refused to send Il to York over the
company's wire. So Hager himself |
reached here, such long time alter his

Using patronage and tone that is ere

GUM SHOE END TO COUNCIL
ACTION IN FRANCHISE FARCE

no action had been taken by the
council in regard to withdrawing the
resolution calling on the White Pine
representatives at Carson TO fight the
Brogan bill.
However, Hoffman In sum and
substance admitted after much hedg-
ing mat the error of the News did
not constitute a lie, but just little
mistake I'm the use of the word 'spe-
cial." for "A special meeting was not
held. nor, in fact, any meeting at
all Wherein is a gum shoe story of
some interest.
1t seems that City Attorney Walker
met Hoffman and that they conclud-
ed that the resolution had best not
be sent to Carson. iHasmuch as the
bill in question had no bearing upon
the company IL had been supposed
In the council meeting to affect. Fol-
lowing this understanding, Walker
said he would call upon Councilman
Hall, presumably to the same intent
and purpose that prevailed In the
meeting with Hoffman. If Hall
viewed the matter in the same light
as Hoffman, tnen they composed a
majority of the council and Walker
would have authority under practical
understanding to proceed along the
line he had suggested, and the meet
ing to all intent and purpose had
been held and the object attained.
Wherein the mayor cut no ice.
Going back a little. the original
gum shoe tracks appear plain to the
naked eye. These were planted in
the council meeting Thursday night.
when the council, after 1t had been
left alone in its solemn dignity, de-
eided to quietly pass the Brogan res
olution. The clerk was instructed to
gum shoe this through without the
/ formality of its first going in the
minutes. Next day 1t was ascertained
that the resolution was senseless, and
thereupon the activities of Attorney
/ Walker came into evidence. with re-
suit that the eouncilmen concluded
, to quietly hunt cover. The resolu-
| ton not having been put ON the min
utes, the easiest course was decided
/ To be TO simply see that it was not
put there, wherefore this tnlng that
was done would not appear in the
public eye as ever having been done
Just little gum shoe and slight of
hand mixture which would have
worked nicely had not the the steam
got up in the gauge yesterday and
raised the lid.
Mr.. Hoffman last night admitted
facts in sum and substance as set
forth above. In sum and substance
he added that though the resolution
Thursday night was side tracked,
now the council was just bunheaded
enough to resurreet the dead issue
and would do so and send It 10 the
legislature. by hem

CLIMBED IN THE GAUGE
YESTERDAY UNDER PRESSURE
OF PUBLIC RIDICULE AND THE
LID CAME OFF-AMUSING.

While most of the town laughed
yesterday over the odd predicament
in which some guileless persons
brain storm put those who had been
engaged in beating the air and
shrieking aloud about an assembly
bill which bad dream had fixed up
as affecting an Ely district interest,
which in reality is not affected and
does not care solitary whoop about
the measure, there were those who
were not in the merry list.
As far as learned their number was
limited to two. but they had enough
steam under the lid TO make up for
the lack of it on the part of many
more. These gentlemen were Mayor
Clark and Councilman Hoffman. In
the morning the mayor said that
Hoffman alone could have held the
alleged meeting, and in the evening
Hoffman was out with some vigor-
Gus language as to the News, which
he proclaimed had told a lie.
Mr.. Clark in the morning said that
no special meeting of the council had
been held; that if there had been a
meeting Hoffman must have held 1t,
as Councilman Hall was confined TO
his home by illness on Friday and
could not have attended a meeting.
Clark himself was out of town. Mr..
Hoffman III the evening said that
no special meeting had been held
and confirmed Clark's statement that
