eye open for Mr. Wiggins' great blow,

South Bend is "right smart" at
catch'ng escaped prisoners. Seeing
the notice of the escape of the prison
ers from the jail here, in the Daily
Hkhali), parties in the Bend kept
close watch over all strangers who
entered their city, and the first man
wearing rubber boots that struck the
town was promptly arrested, and the
fact telegraphed to the authorities
here. Investigation showed that the
party arrested was Hutt's old butcher,
who is twice as old as the escaped
prisoner, and no resemblance between
them. He was speedily released.
