That jail Delivery at Lancaster
iIancater Eagle.

Iancater Eagle.
A jail delivery occurred at the
county bastile here Monday morn
ing at an early hour and two
prisoners, "Dolby" Harry Pearce,
awaiting trial for cutting to kill,
and Preston Deeds, the "irre-
pressibe Pres" awaiting trial for
assaulting his wife, made their
escape and are still at large.
The delivery was evidently well
planned by some desperate friend
of Deeds and Pearce, as the four
locks were gone through to liberate 3
them. The outside kitchen door
next to the alley was pried open,
then the inside kitchen door was
pried open through which en-
trance was made into the inside
hallway, and then to the front
office where the keys to the cor
ridor door and "bull pen" door
were secured from desk drawer,
where 1t was the practice to keep
them.
The main corridor door was
then unlocked by the liberator who
entered the Jail corridor and un-
locked the "bull pen" where
Pearce and Deeds were evidently
awake awaiting his coming as
there had been mysterious sounds
heard about the Jail exterior
after midnight by the sheriff,
but who was unable to see any
one about, although he did not
retire till after one o'clock, when
Deputy Schatfner returned home.
At this hour every thing was
quiet and all prisoners seemed to
be sound asleep.
The other prisoners in jail,
three of them, Holtsberry, await
ing trial for illegal fishing; Nc
Candish, for non-support, and
Hanum, for embezzlement, were
all asleep and heard nothing of
the delivery, but discovered it
soon after the birds had flown
and about three o'clock aroused
the sheriff's household tn notify
the sheriff that Deeds and Psarce
had escaped.

Democrats answered "no' when

ever, counted the same as two

Police Busy In NelsOnviIIe.
lNelsonyille Buckeye,


Last Monday was Mayor Wells
busy day. The entire day was
devoted to hearing cases against
"bootleggers" and saloon men for
violations of the Rose Local Option
Law.
Search and Seizure warrants
were placed in the hands of the
police officers on Saturday even
ing, and three places were search
ed, viz:
"The Nine" operated by James
McVicker, "Biddy" Rosser's place
on East Columbus street, and
"The Infant" owned by John l..
Wilson. This was followed on
Monday morning by a search of
the Jack Taylor stand on Hooking
street, run by Felix Patton.
Several different brands of beer
were found, which will be subject.
ed to an analysis to determine
what percentage of alcohol if any
they contain. AS soon as this is
determined to certainty, not
only the persons at whose place
the beer was found will be prose-
cuted, but all other persons known
to sell these particular brands of
"peculiar" goods will be made to
answer.
The ice is broken now, and
henceforth no quarter will be
shown those who violate the law in
this particular.
AS result of this raid, saloon
men are up in the air, and boot
leggers are in deep water jumping

The cases of Arthur Kelly, Jr,
and Jos. Jenkins, charged with
bootlegging were set for trial on
Monday, and drew large crowd
of spectators to the Mayors court.
Kelly's case was tried and he
was found guilty and fined 5000
and costs. Judge o. w. H.
Wright, of Logan, defended Kelly
and at the conclusion of the
hearing gave notice that he would
file bill of exceptions and take
the case to the court of Common

Fooled Again.

Our new president was very EN-.
phatic in his inaugural address on
the suject of iniunctions in labor
disputes. He said, GAS to that
my convictions are fixed. Take
away from courts, if it could be
taken away, the power to issue IN.
functions in labor disputes, and it
would create privileged class
among the loborers and save the
lawless among their number from
u most needful remedy available
TO all men for the protection of
their business against lawless in
vasion.'
Mr.. Taft did not talk that way
during the campaign. In his
speeches lest fall he assumed to be
the only real and true friend of
labor, and his own iniunctions
were defended as blessings con-
ferred upon laboring men without
their knowing it.
Gompers and other labor leaders
tried last fall to make their fellow
workingmen believe that Mr.. Taft's
convictions on injunction are fixed,
which he now admits. Mr.. Taft
would be willing to admit, if
pressed for an answer, that Comp,
ers and Mitchell belong to the
"lawless element"of laboring men.
Evidently the laboring men were
again fooled in the presidential
campaign last fall, as they were in
1904 by Roosevelt and in 1900 and
1896 by Mark Hanna. Mr.. Taft
no sooner takes the oath of Office
as president than he announces
that his convictions as to injunc-
tions in labor disputes are fixed.
Will tue laboring men of the
United States be able to remember
this significant remark until the
next presidential campaign?

Awful Chances at an Oil Well.

James Milligan, the we'll shooter
of the Lancaster Nitroglycerine
company, recently passed through
a most trying ordeal and one which
ne will not soon forget. He and
Mr.. Kerns, the Broad street timer
constructed special shell with
which to shoot the Fairfield com.
pany we'll. 1t was made nineteen
feet long and contained five quart
charge of nitroglycerine. The shell
was lowered into the we'll but when
it reached depth of only LOO
feet the shell for some unaccount-
able reason lodged and the hook at
the end of the rope lost it's hold on
the bail of the shell and as it
meant sure death to fish about
with the hook to recover a hold on
the bail of the shell the rope was
withdrawn from the well leaving
the nitroglycerine charge where it
had lodged. Mr.. Milligan as we'll
as everybody connected with the
dangerous work was non. plussed
and at a loss to know how to re-
cover the big shell or lower it to
the bottom of the we'll without
being blown up himself and running
a 81, 900 we'll. He came to uancas-
ter, and after consultation with
Mr.. +. O. Kerns, who makes his
shells for shooting wells, Mr..
Kerns contrved valve catch
which was go cleverly constructed
that it could be lowered at the end
of the rops and as it would slip
over the end of the shell by
tlIel y and dextrous manipulation
Of the contrivance it would grasp
the shell and bring it to the
surface, but miss cue, or the
slightest blunder might result in

of the hole and the complete

He knew the sit

and skill as a surgeon performs an
operation he began the lowering
of the rope and so sensitive has
become his touch that he felt the

There Is reaper whose name Is Death,
And with his sickle keen,
| He reaps the bearded grain at n BREATH
And the tlowers that grow between.
The grim reaper in this instance
having taken the ripened grain in
the person of Mr.. George Hutton,
of Washington Tp., Hooking Co.,
Ohio, who was born in the state of
Pennsylvania, June 4, 1887. and
departed this life on the Goth of
February 1909, at the advanced
age of II years, 8 months and 90
days. Last August he was stricken
with paralysis, but rallied and was
in his usual health until the Sec
ond stroke came, on the early
morn Of Feb. 26, from which he
never rallied. On the 22nd. of
October, 1868 he was united in
marriage to Miss Louisa Davis,
who still survives him. To this
union were born eleven children.
/ Three sons and six daughters still
survive him. Two daughters,
Mary Ann and Arie Ann having
preceded him to the spirit world.
Besides the widow and nine sur
viving children, he leaves to mourn
their loss; one brother, twelve
grand. children, and host of
friends and distant relatives, but
their loss is his eternal gain. In
early life he profess ed christianity
and united with the Methodist
church and remained soldier for
his Master for about fifty years,
advancing in spiritual richness as
he advanced in years. During
the last few years of his life, after
his membership was removed to
the New Zion church his pew was
scarcely ever empty if health per-
mltted his presence. He was an
earnest worker, and his voice was
heard in the class meeting telling
of his bright prospects of heaven
and earnestly praying for the con-
version of all, and especially for
those who are near to him in the
family circle. The last evening
of his life was spent in reading a
part of great sermon; marking
his place and saying we'll boys, |
will finish it tomorrow night; but
ere the morning sun arose he ST.
lently fell asleep.
Asleep In Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep
During the spring Of 1865 he en-
listed as soldier in the Union
army, in Co., H. ISL, o. V. l. and
served till honorably discharged,
always being ready for the duty
presenting itself. He will be sad
ly missed in the home, for fathers

In his death the church loses a

a respected citizen and good neigh
Dor.

With gathered harvest and the crown

Skowhegan o.
Oak Grove Sem. 0.

Skowhegan. Me, Oct. 23.-(SpeciaD.-A
football game that was noteworthy from
start to finish on account of the good
work done by both teams was played Sat
urday at Fairview park between the
Skowhegan High and Oak Grove Semi
nary. The score was 6 to 0 in favor of
Skowhegan. This score was won in about
II minutes after the game began. During
the remaining time of the game 1t was
"nip-and- tuck" by both teams.
At the beginning of the first half
Whtehouse kicked off for Oak Grove.
The ball was caught by Symonds for S.
II. S. He carried the ball some distance.
Excepting a tumble by Skowhegan, S. II.
S. made a steady gain for the goal and
the ball was carried over by Murray La
Casce kicked the goal, making the score
to in favor of S. H. S. At the end of
the first half s. H. S. had the ball and
was in the middle of the field The best
work for Oak Grove in the first half was
done by Nanderhoof and Whitehouse. S.
II. S. features in this half were LaCasce's
and Murray's plays
the ball kicked off by LaCasce. He made
q good gain for a number of yards and
for some minutes it looked as if Oak
Grove was going to score. Merriam, La
Casce and Murray made some stops that
put new phase to the situation. The
two teams Zigzagged back and forth. BY
good forward passing Oak Grove got
within few yards of the goal, when
LaCasce got the ball and made a run that
has not been equalled on this field, dis
lance Of about u yards, and reached the
goal, but he being within a few inches
over bounds it did not count. 1t was only
few minutes, however, before he had
the ball again and was making his way
up the field. He was stopped after a run
of several yards. At the end of the
game Skowhegan was within a few yards
of the goal The S. H. S. team never
played better. Pierce did excellent work.
He is good man on the team and han
dies his men on signals with fine judg-
ment. Oak Grove has a strong team and
is excellent on forward passes. Both
teams have good stuff in them. The

in that particular point as was Colby with
her great mass of beef which was not
at all impregnable. Colby gained but
about 60 yards through Bates line, but
Bates was able to get 81 yards through
Colby's line. In fact Colby's gains of any
length were made either Just outside of

Bates was unable to make scarcely any
