Pinkerâ€" ton, who culminasted his adventures by escaping from jail here early Saturâ€" day morniag, and has not yet been reâ€" captured. * Last Thursday evening eomplaint was made to Constable Pettigrew that Pinkerton was drunk and disordarly and using profane lauguage on main street, and when the cop appeared on the scene, he was among a bunch in the lane next McLellan‘s implement shop. Learning the constable was after “ him, he dasked back into the river, but a few minutes later be was nabbed and taken to the lockâ€"up over night. In a short trial next morning, Magisâ€" trate Teiford sentenced him to three ouths hard lator at Owen Sound. inkerton having been in trouble beâ€" re for a similar offence. The lad was taken back to the ceils, but was unruly to all with whom he came in contact, tramping his dinner under‘ foot when brought. At noon Friday Mr. Pettigrew moved him to a cleaner cell, but the lad wa.1 reluctant to change and in transferring him, when the constable relaxed his ‘ grip, made a dash across the street fer liberty . _ Mr Pettigrew soon recaptured him, and assured him no more favors. On revisiting his former cell the conâ€" stable found a hole elmost cut through the floor, which the prisoner had cover. ed with a box in the room. â€" Had he had time to complete his work and get beâ€" neath, stones were available to smash the door. _ This undoubtedly explained his reluctance to change. _ Before evâ€" ening hand culls were attached, the constable intending to leave with him by next morning‘s train for Owen Sound. But there‘s many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip. Pinkerton was ever active in his efforts to escape from the local cell, and that night smashed the winâ€" dow. An accomplice from outside, sometime about 2 a. m. Saturday mornâ€" ing with an 18 inch scantling, bent down one of the iron bars across the winâ€" dow, making an opcning between bars of 64 inches. â€" In the eell Pinkerton left hisshoes, and in some manner, handâ€" ‘culled, climbed>to the narrow opening. wriggled through and regained freedom. When Constable Pettigrew arrived at the scene at 6 a. m. to remove his prisâ€" oner, he was rather stunned to discover k the bird had flown. He traced two pairs of footsteps, one with shoes, one With* out, to the bridge over the oatmeal dam, but here lost the clue. On Monday the constable was led to suspect the prisoner was out at a former neighbors of the family in Egremont and went out to make an investigation. En route he called on two connty conâ€" stables to assist him, but these, he states, refused to accompany him. On arrival, about 11 [(p. m., the constable sought admittance but the doors were locked and no reply given, so being alome, returned and took no further acâ€" Should the boy be recaptured, a twoâ€" year sentence for jail breaking is, we are informed, the minimum punishment that can be given.

C . pmmmcmaie _ STANDARD Pinkerton Escapes The Burh â€" DURHAM BPALA K xc P s PFPI ?EI? IEE’IEW to New Subscribers the (balance of the year, onl)i On Saturday, 25th July, 19“1 aboxe.gentiemen died at the home of his daughterâ€"in law, Mrs. John Bell, Glencig, three miles east of Durham, ‘ where for five years past he has been cared for in a weakness, (itrequid00as» celyâ€"beâ€"caliedâ€"an i!!ffgas) that confined him to bis bcflg_./‘Hmlichu give old age as the cause of death, a wear. ing out of life‘s machinery. He was or.e of the pioneers of Glenelg and until about a dozen years ago was much in the public eye, having been for 17 years Assessor of the township, a longer perâ€" iod than any other one man, and in othâ€" er ways took an. active interest in pubâ€" lic affairs. Alexander Bell was born in Co. An: trim, Ireland, about 12 miles from Belâ€" fast in 1830 and came to Canada in 1847, living about 14 months is Hamilton. In 1848 he moved to the now Henry Seaâ€" ley tarm in South Glenelg and later to the Gravel Road near Rob Roy corners, so that his residence in the township extends over 66 years. In 1857 he married Miss Rusan Lawrence, the ofâ€" ficiating clergyman being the late Alex .. Stewart. â€" She died six years ago. To this couple were born nine children, five of whom survive, James and Wm. in Winnipeg, Allan of Durham, Jane, Mrs Oscar Green and Maggie, Mrs Rich, Willet, both of Toronto. _ The deceased members were John, Robert, Mary Ann, (Mrs McClocklin) and Alex. Both the daughters were privileged to be with their father for a week before he died. One brother Robert died many years ago, one brother Andrew, and one sister Mrs. John McFadden, survive him. Deceased was an Orangeman for 67 years and a member of the Presbyterian church. He is being buried toâ€"day, Wednesday, Rev. Mr. Wylie, Baptist pastor, conducting the services in the absence of Rev. Mr. Whaley. For a number of years past about this time, the railways were appealing to Easteru Oanada for help to remove the Western haryest. This year they have decided that Eastern men are not needed. The chabge means that the West is having an off year. _ Un a yery large proportien of its area the crops are below the average and there has come the necessity of retrenchment. To many in the West the situation wili be ruinous, and their erippled purchâ€" asing power will {also seriously affect eastern manufacturers, who already are shortening hours of labor in many instances. The problem of the unemployed was never so acute as at present and the actual deportation of idle men who haye been less than three years in the eountry, has a sinster appearance. In Toronto the other day work was be gun on the new Union Stavion and 60 men were selected from over 1000 ap. plying. And the worst is yet to come, for with the closing of navigation, the ranks of the uneimployed . Wl DC swelled . And the pity of it is that many will prefer to scarve in the city ratker chan work for an Ontario farmer, w ho in many cases has to seed his farm to grass for lack of labor.
