Cecil Williams, Waterville, Skips.
Wednesday, Evening, from kenne bee

Another prisoner escaped from the
kennebec COUNTY jail Wednesday
night, this one being Cecil Williams
from Watervilic who was serving
go day sentence for the larceny Of
$40. having been convicted in the Wa
teryilie municipal court. Young WI
liaIns had served about a month Of
his time and was employed waiting On
the prisoners table in the Jail. .Ab ,ut
$50, at the conclusion of the evening
repast, he went to the jail kitchen
with q pan of bread, but did not stop
there long, for, dropping the bread
pan, he started for the dump back of
the Jail. He continued his course
down back of the Hill tennis court, II
which place he hastily got rid of the
stripes, which he left beside the
fence.
Deputy Sheriff Bucklin learned of
the prisoners escape Immediately, and
was hot on his trail. but the fugitive
got a little start and therefore made
good his getaway The prisoner was
without Il coat but undoubtedly had
on an extra pair of trousers under the
stripes, and wore a pair of slippers on
his Ieet such as ale worn by the
prisoners. This is the second man to
escape. this week, Charles Lessor hav-
| ing peat it. Tuesday morning. a
good description of both fugitives has
| been furnished the authorities anc
they will undoubtedly be captured
soon, and brought back to serve theli
time.

that officer of one George w. Trask
of Manchester, and Arthur Trask of.
Mt Vernon. At the time of the arrest

Ufpon investigation it was found that
the only asset which Mrs. Trask pos
sessed was one old horse, widely known
through kepnebec county as the Reuel
York horse, which animal Mrs. Trask
lis said to have taken for debt at the
Time of York's death. which occurred
lat her home. some time ago, and al
which time it is claimed that York

horse in question was used to bring
the family to Augusta, Thursday, and
while thin to the point of emaciation

Mrs. Trask, and the blacksmith who
did the work estimated that the cash
value of the animal was about Va. An
effort will be made to sell the animal

wha tever cash it may be worth.
When brought into court, arthur
