Heteick were the five persons who were arrested A Summerville one week ago last Saturday night and brought to the oounty jail at Brookville where they languished until last Saturday morning when they were taken to Snmmerville fora hearing beforo Squire Gathrie. twenty-eight witnesses had been supoenaed and a large time was looked for. To accommodate the crowd the town hall was secured for the hearing. Nearly 200 persons were present. Attorneys E A. C'armalt represented the Commonwealth and A. C White and 8. H. Whitehill the defendants. From all accounts a "Monkey and a parrot" time was had. The case against the two womkn and Thomas was fought for all it was worth. Aftor tho evidence had been pre. seated the attorneys argued several hours for tboir clients. They were discharged, however for want of sufficient evidence. Htoffor and Hetrick had been confined in iait for a weak on no information or warrant. On this accouQt. it whs deemed best to make a complaint and issue a warrant beforo the hearing This having been done the defendants were arrested. After the other defendants had been discharged for want of evidence that they had conducted a disorderly house tho two men were ready for a hearing, but as tho Common wealth producod no witnesses, they two,wore discharged. Since the hearing there has been considerable talk about actions for damages and illegal arrests being brought. Whether this will be dono tho future only will develope.Meiers. George W.

All the angutah of a mother's eoal was poured oat in pleadings for safety of her boy. She appealed to Mrs. Mar and the sheriff to be good and kind to the wayward lad, jrhom aha says was enoe a food boy, and the pride of her home. She told that he attended church and Sunday school and public school nntU he was 19 yean old. At that time hi* fttther died, the home wsa broken up and the bey was east upon the world. Heiot into bad faosnpany and was led In to aril ways, runint teas bad to wesae until he reached a Man's eell." The county is being sconrod for the two runaways, but late to-night no traco of tbom waa found. A week ago X ichols euoceedod in sawing off two bars, but waa discovered just in time to prevent a possible general jail delivery. He boasted, when committed to prison a few weeks ago that there waa no lock that he could not pick, nor no prison that he oould not escape from. He is said to be one of the cleverest crooks in the country, and it ia alleged that he la wanted in many quarters. Walter Nichols, charged with forgery, burglary and other crimes, captured at I)uB>ia recently, was tho ringleader of the venturaome quartet. This was visitors' dsy, and tho doors to the corridor woro thrown open. An iron bar on the third floor, forming a partition between the recess hall and the main corridor, was aawed. With that removed it only remained for the prisoners to reach out and unlock tho iron dooY with a dummy key made of wood by the clever Nichols. Harrold Fuller, alias "Texas," charged with horse steal- j ing at Hitst McKoesport, and Edward Davis, charged with larceny at West Newton, led tho way, walking leisnroly past the guard, young May, stationed at the outer door. He did not recognise tho prisoners as thoy passed out. Hut when they started to run he became suspcious, and turning around saw Nichols and James Smith, chargod with larceny, pass ing out tho door. Nichols pulled a handy billy and struck viciously at the young jailor. The blow fell upon May's left arm. With his right May struck Nichols a stunning blow on the neck which felled him. With a coolness seldom equaled, May placed a foot on the reck of the prostrate Nichols, and pulling his revolver and pointing it at the now fleeing Davis commanded him to stop, and he did so. There they were held antil assistance arrived. A jail delivery and a wild chase after the runaway prisoners was an occasion of groat excitement here to-day. A bold break for liberty by four prisoners resulted in two get ting away and the other two being held at tho point of a revolver, at the main eutranco of the jail by Erneet May. a young ton of Slier iff May.
