UIOKLY CAPTRED
Escaped From the County Jail
at 7 O'clock Yesterday Morn-
ing---Captured by the Sheriff
Near Tozer's Bridge Last
Evening
* Sheriff Griffia did excellent work
yesterday in capturing a jail break-
er who got away from Towanda
jail yesterday morning, and whom
he captured shortly after 9 o'clock
last night near Tozer's bridge
about two miles west of Sayre.
The man who escaped is C. W_
Bowman who lives at Terrytown,
near Wyalusing. He robbed a
house near New Albany over two
years ago, stealing a silk dress.
He was not captured until about
two months ago when he received
a sentence of 6o days with 35 days
additional for costs, He was a
good worker and was trusted to go
about town on errands. Yesterday
morning about 7 o'clock he was
sent out to pick peas when he took
advantage of the opportunity and
escaped
The sheriff was away at the time,
but returned about noon, and ac
companied by Deputy Charles Mc
Crackep, started in pursuit ol Bow.
man. The prisoner's wife lives at
Athens, near the cove, and they
headed for that place.
Arriving at Athens they saw
“Let "er Go” Flynn on the street,
and he departed in such haste that
they were led to believe that he
knew something of the where-
abouts of Bowman.
Enlisting the services of Chief of
Police Mulligan and John Griffin,
they went to the house where Bow-
man's wife lives and found “Let ‘er
Go" there. At first he denied any
knowledge of Bowman, but later
admitted that he had eaten supper
with him. He was placed under
arrest for aiding a prisoner to
escape, but watched his chance,
made a dash for liberty and escaped.
The officers then went in pur-
suit of “Let ‘er Go.” They fol
lowed him in the direction of
Tozer’s bridge, and when just this
side of the bridge they heard Bow-
man and Flynn talking, and saw
Bowman walking toward them
They kept quiet, but he saw them
and started to run. He gave the
officers a hard chase, but a few
shots fired in the air finally caused
him to stop. Chief Mulligan and
Deputy McCracken effected the
capture. He was shackled and
brought to Sayre and then taken
to Towanda on the midnight train
The prisoner had traveled
through the woods and avoided the
highways all the way to Athens.
Besides his shoes he had on only a
pair of overalls and a shirt, and
was wringing wet when captured
Considering that the prisoner
had over six hours start, the short
time that elapsed before he was re-
captured reflects much credit upon
the officers.

CLOSED LAST NIGHT
Firemen Cleared Two Hundred
and Thirty Dollars- -Fair Man-
agers Claim They Lost Money
No more do we hear the screech
of the popcorn stand whistle, no
longer does the voice of the blat-
ant barker rend into bits the dis-
tracted atmosphere, at an end is the
noisc and coefusion that have con-
stituted a bewildering babel on
Desmond street for the past ten
days, for the street fair, with its
conglomeration of fortune tellers,
snake girl, hoochie coochie, and
other attractions, has folded its
teats, packed its trunks, and stolen
away. Now peace and quiet reigns
in the region of Desmond street,
and the weary citizen in that vicin-
ity can retire early and be assured
that no unusual noise will disturb
his slumbers. The only thing that
cvidences the fact of its late pres-
ence is the littered condition of the
grounds on which the show exhib.
ited, and the depleted pocketbook
of the citizen, in which there re-
mains po sheckel.
A good sized crowd attended
the fair last night and all the at-
tractions were well patronized.
On leaving here the show divided.
Hamburg and Slade took the
Ferris wheel, the hoochie koochie,
the merry-go-round and Maulin
Rouge, and will show in Pittston
next week,
Smith and Metz took the Temple
of Mystery, Gay Paree, Serpentina
tand the Snake Charmer, and will
show at Tunkhannock.
So far as the firemen are con-
cerned the financial resylts were
fairly satisfactory. They will real-
ize about $230 after their share ot
the expenses have been paid. The
managers of the show, however,
claim that they lost about $350.
The firemen speak in very high
terms of Messrs. Metz and Smith's
business squareness and say that
they did better by the firemen than
they even agreed to do, and are
gentlemen in every sense of the
word
The diamond ring contest was
worl by Miss Gertrude Fisher, who
received 5,719 votes, while Misses
Bernice and Blanche Fletcher res
ceived 5,059 and 1,868 respectively,
all the other contestants having
dropped out. ~
The reason why the street fair
was not as large as was expected
and did not contain as many attrac
tions as it had when witnessed by
the firemen's committee, is ex-
plained by the fact that Becker,
who was the manager, absconded
with the funds just before the show
came to Sayre, and several of the
owners of some of the best features
retused to accompany the fair any
farther.
THE FISH DO BITE
Fishermen are in their element
just at present. They had waited
long and patiently for the rivers to
get down to normal height, and
now they appear to be’ reaping
their reward. When the stories of
piscatorial success get around
among the sportsmen the waters
will be dotted with parties whose
aim will be to beat the fellow who
last caught the big one. W. H.
Hollingshead and son were out on
the Chemung yesterday afternoon
about three hours trolling after
wall-eyed pike, or yellow bass, as
the common name goes. They
returned with a catch of half a
dozen or more good sized speci-
mens, among the number being
one that weighed a trifle over four
pounds. Bob Reeves went out
this morning and after trolling for
a short time he captured a yellow
bass weighing nine pounds, which
is on exhibition in J. H. Wiltse's
window.

The chapter has recently lost a
valued member by the death of
Mrs. Chas Sawyer of Waverly,
one who was intensely patriotic
and deeply interested in the work
of this chapter. A committee was
appointed to prepare resolutions
expressing the sorrow of the chap-
ter at their loss, and their sym-
pathy for her family.
It was heard with great regret
that the old church at Ellistown
may be torn down and a new one
erected. The suggestion of des
stroying such an historic building
met with opposition from all the
members present. The first object
of the society of the Daughters of
the American Revolution is “To
perpetuate the memory and spirit
of the men and women who
achieved American independence
by the protection of histo-ic spots
and erection of monuments,” It
would be a pity to destroy this
church, which could be restored
and preserved, and in the future it
would be pointed out as one of the
historic buildings of the valley.
At the close of the business
meeting Miss Kecfe rendered two
very pleasing vocal solos.
Mrs. Thatcher read an interest-
ing article on the Signing of the

Refreshments were served and
the meeting adjourned until Sep~

AT OAK GROVE
One of the plays to be presented
next week by the Beanett-Moulton
Company is entitled “The Jealous
Wife,” a four-act comedy drama
The groundwork of the play deals
with a portion of human nature
that all wives experience at one
time or another, namely, thinking
that the husband in the case is at-
tracted by a new and pretty face.
To help things along, a murder is
committed, and the wife, thinking
herself thoroughly abused, with a
peculiar brand of feminine reason
ing concluded that a man who
could neglect his wife would be
capable of any crime, promptly
suspects her husband, and later
goaded on to desperation by the
villain, openly accuses him, the in-
nocent husband. Of course every-
thing is smoothed out in the end
and a good deal of enjoyment is
derived from the comedy element,
from a man masquerading in an-
other's clothes and identity to trots
ting around without either identity
or the clothes, forced to meet the
cold world without either clothes
or necktie. The couniry shenff is
another living character that will
be much enjoyed by the audience.
There are startling and thrilling
situations and this play will be
found very instructive, entertaining
and a successful cure for the blues,
