"Much ado over nothing." Thic re- ference applies to the case of the supposed theft of a shot gun Tués- day night, at the home of Richard Ford, near Elginburg. The shot gun in question is valued at $100, and has been the property of Mr. Ford for many years. Some time during Tuesday it was missed from its usual resting place, Lehind the kitchen door, and fol- lowing the scare over the escape of the convicts from the penitentiary it was thought that perhaps the desperadoes had paid a visit to the Ford home and made off with the gun. o Thursday afternoon the King- ston police were notified that the gun was missing. A report of the matter appeared in the Whig, and Warden Ponsford, who has been fol- lowing up every possible clue to of his men to the Ford home and as a result of the visit, the case has been cleared wp. The gun was no! stolen, but was taken from its rest- ing place from behind the door by Mrs. Ford had placed in a clothes 'room unknown to other members of the family. The son, believing that the much-prized gun had been stolen, reported the matter to tha police.

Women Priséners Assisted, The Toronto Telegram has following: . + According to information in police firm the escape of the -cenvicts the from Portsmouth penitentiary was carefully planned, and was Lo have | taken place three weeks before it actvally happened. The reason for the delay, was that a desperado, un- dergoing fifteen vears' imprisonment, | for a series of hold-ups, was to have been among those leaving, but.as he was kept in another part of the peni- tentiary;' and couldn't make connec- tions, his colleagues got impatient and went away without him. . "Prusties" were. given messages which 'were hidderi™$n the shirts sent i from the men's to the women's quar- ters for laundering. When the wo- men received a message that had been. agreed te act upon they sent back an "O.K." Then, at the speci- fied time," the women siarted a rumpus. Guards from the men's fuarters were rushed to quell the disturbance. Then the cnaspirators set fire to a building, and other guards rushed to that spot. Roughly. only the guards on the walls. and under orders nét to leave them, were left. Thus the convicts made their getaway. Convicts Near Portland ? A despatch from Brockville has the following: Upon arrival here by motor, Leo Schalek, of Montreal, travelling salesman for a tobacco concern, re- ported that at ten o'clock Thursday morning he had seen two of the escaped prisoners from Portsmouth penitentiary at a Canadian National Railways crossing six east of Portland. The men were evidently walking the tracks toward Smith's Falls, and as the car approached they hid in the bushes nearby. They were dressed in their prison trousers and straw hats, but had procured black coats. From the ex- ceptional height of one of thé men, Schalek identified him as the es- caped prisoner Slade. He notified the officials of Portsmouth peniten- tiary. . Investigation Continues. The investigation into the escape of the convicts at the penitentiary is being continued by Inspector Smith and Warden Ponsford, but nothing of an official nature has been given out. J. B.
