Bill Zimmerman, colored, well known police character hero and j» Xenia, made, a dash for liberty from Mayor Bull's court Wednesday af- ternoon while a. hearing for the ' theft of clover seed from Andrew Bros, on April'3(wasbeingconducted, That the fellow had the escape all planned is proven by the fact that he took a careful survey of the room and the onlookers upon being brought from hie Cell. In his geta­ lie threw a,chair In front of officer Kunnon, who was seated directly back uf him- In an instant he had taken his departure with the officer in hot pursuit. In an effort to check him Kennon fired his revolver sev­ eral times biifc the prisoner only went the,faster. Through the Tar- box Lumber Company yard up the railroad into Johnson’s pasture flew the fellow with officer and a pbsse after him. Automobiles with citizens started out the various roads south, and East of town and within an hour Zimmerman was captured in J. E, Turnbull’ s lane, completely exhaust' ed. In the chase he had crossed, the creek more than waist deep but Marshall Kennon did not let the wa­ ter change his course. On being returned to the mayor’s -office Zimmerman. complained ot his right limb and an examination, showed that he had beeu slightly in­ jured by abullefcfromthe,Marshal's'^ revolver. It is only a flash wound and js supposed to have been from; the first shot. .Mr. Kennon made no effort to shoot the man other than in the legs as he coulcl easily have shot him in the back the first time, being only a. short distance away. -Zimmerman ana Floyd Policy, colored, were each arrested for the theft of clover seed, Marshall Ken-, non finding'nut that it had been sold to the W. F. Tuttle Hardware Com­ pany, Springfield. Payment was made by check and Polley cashed i( at the Farmers National Bank, Springfield. , Both.were hound over to the grand jury under $500 bonds and they are now hoarding -frith SheriffMcCallis* ter. . The local officials have been work­ ing oh the case for sonieti no and were only, able this week to locate where the seed was' sold.

LITTLE NELL WAS ^ORIGINAL DeQuIncey's "Our Lady of Tears” Did Not Suggest the Character to ' Dickens. , It is remarked of Charles Dickens that no modern writer was less open to tlie charge of having received sug­ gestions from the characters and plots af his novels from others than was he, and this for the reason that his plots and characters were chosen, not from books, but from people and in­ cidents ih the living world about him. Borne time ago, however, an English author thought-that ho had found in Tears," the suggestion for: the beauti­ ful pathos of Little Noll, In "The O’ l Curiosity Shop," A yttle investiga­ tion, however, showed that De- Quincey’s essay was. published in 1845, while "The Old Cutiosity Shop” was published five years before. The ex­ tract here giVeh from DeQuIncey’s es­ say is interesting: “The oldest of the three sisters is earned Mater Lnchrymarum, pur Lady at. Tears, . The sister it is that carries keys inore than papal at her girdle, which open every cottage and every palace. She, to my knowledge, sate ill last summer by the bedside of the blind beggar, him that so often and ao gladly I, talked with, whose pious Jaughter, eight years old, with the 3unny countenance, resisted the temp­ tations of play and village mirth* to travel all day long on dusty roads with her afflicted father. For this did. 3o<l send her a great reward, in the springtime- of .the year, and whilst yet her own spring was budding. He sailed her to himself. .But her blind father mourns for ever over her; still he dreams at midnight that the little gulfing hand Is locked within his own, ind still he wakens to a darkness that is now within a second and deeper iarkness," Chasing Burglars With Light. Darkness Is necessary under ordi­ nary _circumstances to enable a bur­ glar to carry on his work. One of the engineers of a large electric light­ ing company has devised a system of emergency lighting for residences by Which the turning of a master switch at the head of the bed turns on the lights all over tho house. These lights may he ordinarily operated by tlleir respective switches in the usual way, but in case the master switch is turned on they cannot he turned off by means of the individual switches. This means, of course, that once the master switch has been thrown, any Intruder, in the house must heat H retreat.
