Prisoner Escapes.
About the time the court house
caught on fire, the jail which also was
opposite the hotel, appeared to be in
danger and in order to avert panic
among the prisoners Sheriff Drake
gathered them into the hallway which
went dark when the HendersonyiIIe
Light and Power company cut OF the
lights of the city by reason of the
many falling wires. When the lights
went out, David Cahuth, who had been
convicted of larceny at the past week
of court, also went out, and he kept on
going. The sheriff,s force caught the
prisoner Sunday afternoon near SaIu-

at the jail that the sheriff marched his
prisoners to the rear of the Jail and
