Encape of an alleged Horse-thief Jrom Prison
t Attempt to Rob the Sltei iff Another Horse
Stolen The Thief Pursued and Captured
Threats to Hang the Thief and other inleres-
tii-.g performances.
A lew weeks since a man was lodged in our
ounty Jail, charged with having stolen a mare
from ilr. Wm. L. Wilson. On last Friday
sight he ninde bis escape by digging a hole
through the prison' wall, and then scaling the
wall which surrounds the jail yard. He had
managed to divest himself of the hand-cuffs
which had been placed on him, and to get oft
h chain with which he was fastened to the
"floor ; but it is the geueral opinion that he had
tome outside help. .
"We mar as well here state that when he was
first taken, on searching bis person, a package
of napers was found fastened around his ankle.
Among these papers was a not3 on Mr. John
MiHcr, of the State of Michigan, for $116, and
a power cf attorney to Mr. Robert Warden,
Trcai "r. George Myers, of Lower East Bethel,
iCorthaiiiptou county, to collect the same. A
letter was addressed to the Recorder of the
last named county, making inquiries relative
to the papers, and he states in answer, that Mr.
H jcrs is llie administrator of an Estate ; that
a man calling-himself Robert Warden ingrati
ated himself into the favor of Mr. Myers, who
Is an honest, unsuspecting German farmer, and
induced i.iiii to i;rT LItn the necessary author
ity to Hit the money, for the note, represent
ing that he resided in Michigan, near Mr. Mil
lers. " Warden is described as a man about five
feet bix'inehc's I.igh, sandy or red h-iir, sandy
complexion, .iI a wearing checkered pants,
".i!e hat, ami frock coat. This description
Ziwer3 well that of the man here in prison
- On Saturday night, some scoundrels, cvi-1-ntly
sutisflod, as it is an easy matter to
Lreak out of our jail, that they could also east
ly break in, performed that feat, designing no
doubt to rob the Sfir-riO, who lives in the build
ing. Ths window shutter was bored about the
ftMiings and forced open, the window raised
nud an ci.t:anc! eJTocted. The object was,
doubtless, to get possession of a couple watches
::? fOTT!e f'xty dollars in money, found on the
prisoner when arrested. A brace and bit had
been taken out of Mr. Wm. R. Brown's shop,
the window of which was also forced open, ani
a pivce was bored out of the table top, ininic
dialely over the lock to" the drawer, but for
tunately the burglars after rummaging all the
drawer in the room found nothing more than
a little over a dollar in change.
f Towards noon on Sunday, information was
rwdved hert that a fine mare had been stolen
it;iius the nicht previous from Mr. Jacob
Hoover, who' resides in Lawrence township,
a conr.! miles from town. It was at once sup
Txsed that the escaped prisoner had something
to do with the traua.iction, and the Sheriff aud
ot!:rs from here and Curwensville went in
t uniuit. We are told they had a "tall time
in catching the fellow, who was chased about
throve the woods and roads, and fina'iy cap-
tsrtd near Neper's, in Brdy township. On
Monday forenoou he was brought to town, and
is the same fellow who broko jail on Friday
Ilight. -
The people had become aroused by these re
peated villainies, and tho excitement became
Intense. Some i0 or 300 persons surrounded
the wagon in which, the prisoner was brought
t this place, and, producing a rope, threaten
ed to h..i him, and whether in jest or earn
. st, it baould serve as a warn ng to the horso
thief gentry what they may expect in future.
The nrrsons who had charge of the thief, were
armed with revolvers and threatened to shoot
any one who laid hcM of Mm. These various
demonstrations, together with the ringing of
the Court House bell, and shouts of "hang him,
sLot him, "lets make him stretch hemp,"
&e., wore not calculated to make him feel very
eay, and he implored the officers to protect
him, and agrcod that he would make a confes
sion. He then made a statement in which he tried
tn screen hirasel' by representing that he hud
not stolen the horses himself; that he had pur
tntd Wilson's marc from the gypsies and
another man he named, although he was aware
the animal had been stolen ; that he had sold
another horse to a maa at the Jefferson county
line; that Hoover's mare had been placed in
his haals by a certain individual he named;
that the same person offered to get another
man to assist him in recovering his money and
watches from the Sheriff; tad that he had no
one to assist him in breaking out of prison.
II? afterwards wade an affidavit relative to
the matter, and warrants were issued and sev
eral cf the pel sons whom ho implicated, ar
rested. Whether his statement is worthy of
rodenc?, is not for ns to say or decide. The
whole aff-iir is in a fairway for being judicial
ly investigated, when the facts can be made
pnblic.- ,m. . "
- r,Yr M;itflr Miles Tate, son of

Win. Tate, of Lawrence township, presented
is vstTdir snecimens of several varieties of
an.les. which are as choice and delicious fruit
as wo have ever seen, and Icr which our young
frletd will i'.ease accept onr thanks. Mr. Tat j
Las, we believe, paid some cttentioa to the
cultivation of fruit, and the result shows that
all that is required to produce a superior qual
ity in Clearfield connty, is proper attention,
aud w should like to sec oar farmers general
ly give the subject' of fruit raising more con-aiJep-tioa

When the last trump shall rend the skies,
Then burst the fetters of the tomb,
To wake to full immortal bloom,
He sleeps in Jesus cease thy grief,
Let this afford thee sweet relief,
That freed from death's triumphant reign,
In Heaven he shall live ngnin.
