SHERIFF HAD AN MIGRATE
Full GUEST IN PRISONER
Bound fer the Pen the officer S
Charge Darts Away.

Joseph Kanowski, a prisoner found
guilty of stealing meat from the smoke
house of D. w. Wilson some time dur
ing the past winter, who was tried in
the Circuit Court in Oakland last week
and sentenced by Judge Boyd to serve
eighteen months in the Maryland Pen
itentiarv, proved himself an migrate
full as well as an extremely impolite
guest by abruptly leaving Sheriff Bert
c. Scott and Deputy Sheriff George A.
Dewitt, whose breakfast guest he was
at restaurant in Baltimore on Tues
day morning after an all-night ride
from Oakland. The erstwhile guest is
now fugitive with the whole Balti-
more police force as we'll as the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company
force of dectives looking for him.
Sheriff Scott and Deputy Sheriff De-
Witt were plotting Kanowski and two
other prisoners, John Smith and A. c..
Friend. to the penal Institution of the
State. when the men complained of be-
ing hungry. Out of the goodness of
his heart Sheriff Scott took compassion
upon the men and invited them to be
his guests at breakfast, selecting a
res taurant on Liberty street near Cam
den Station in Baltimore, as the place
where the men were to have their final
meal before entering the gray walls of
the Pen"
AS the men entered the restaurant
the officers considerably removed the
handouts from the wrists of the prison
ers and after ordering what they want
ed and as it was being served to them
kanowski saw his opportunity and
jumped to his feet. In two bounds he
had cleared the room and was lost
to sight before Deputy Sheriff Dewitt,
who had charge of him, could reach the
door. The Baltimore City officers
were quickly notified of the escape of
the man and after furnishing a com
plete description OF him Sheriff Scott
and his assistant returned to Oakland,
arriving here yesterday afternoon.
Before leaving the city Sheriff Scott
was informed by B. & o. detective
that he had caught Kanowski.

Carrot, County Farmers not Adj
veriiSed.

The Maryland State Bureau of I'm
igration, located in Baltimore City, is
sued sixty page pamphlet telling
about lands for sale in each county in
the State of MARYLAND and giving a
brief description of the country.
Some of the counties have six or
more pages describing farms for sale
Garrett county has one paragraph adj
vertising farm located in the county
and owned by lady now living in
California. Is it any wonder that Gar
rett county has not attracted any of
the settlers locating in this state?
How forcibly this illustrates the old
adage, What is everybody's business
is nobody's business. The Garrett
County Board of Trade will take this
matter up and see that Garrett county's
farms are properly advertised.
Garrett county has room for many
good industrious settlers, to help make
this region the Garden spot of the
state. AS soon as the plans are com
plete proper notice will be given through
The Republican.
This will be one way to boost Garrett
county.

MINES TO REOPEN
Resumption Will Occur in Few
Days in Garrett Works.

Work at the mines near Blaine, w.
Va, and Kitzmiller, Nd, is steadily in
creasing at present. The output is
larger now than it has been for several
months past.
1t is rumored here that the Davis
Coal and Coke Company contemplate
the re-opening of the Buxton mines
near Bloomington. These mines were
considered to have been worked out
notwithstanding the fact that a large
amount of coal was left unmined. Should
the rumor prove true it would mean a
great deal to the inhabitants of the
towns on account of the employment of
a large number of men.
