Barn Barned,
The barn on the tenant farm of Ja-
cob Kepler, in Ferguson township
was destroyed by fire on last Friday
eveningabout 5 o'clock.
The barn is a total loss, with all its
contents,
Among the contents burned were
three mowers, two grain drills, a bind-
er, five stall-fed steers, a lot of sheep,
in short, all the machinery, wagons
and implements of Kepler's two farms
stored in this barn, were burned, A
bull was badly scorched but managed
to get out,
A man and wife had entered the
barn shortly before to fill a bed tick
and it is believed that a spark from a
pipe or segar dropped into the rubbish
in the passage way and caused the fire,
The flames cut off the two from es
cape by the entrance and were obliged
to leap from another door to save their
lives,
A large manure shed attached to the
barn and an outside straw stack also
fell a prey to the flames. There was
no insurance on the contents burned.
There was $300 insurance on the barn
in the Centre Hall company.

Escaped Prisoner Returns,
Sheriff Wagner, of Lewisburg, was
o'clock last Thurs- |
day night, by vigorous pounding on |
his door and an urgent appeal to be
let in. He was considerably astound-
ed on coming down to find his late cal- |
ler was Elmer Hassen plug, who with |
another prisoner had escaped from the
Jail last week.
The Sheriff had been scouring the |
country in the effort to recapture the |
fugitives, and his surprise was great at |
the voluntary return of Hassenplug, |
The explanation given was that he |
was tired wandering about the coun- |
try, hiding in sheds and outbuildings, |
with scarcely anything to eat and the
fear of being seen and recognized,
