PLEASANT PAOSPEOT.
The Ner Uailroad Will Probably
Touch Clare.
Besponding to n telegram, a large
number of Clare's citizens drove over to
Mt. Pleasant last night to confer with J.
M. Ashley of the now railroad. The visiting party consisted of A. A. Shaver, C.
H. Sutherland, E. D. Wheaton, G. W.
Smith, j. 0. Eockafellow, M. D. Eaton,
E. H. DcVogt, B. M. Mussell, W. H". El-
den, A. J. Doherty, D. E. Alward, and C.
W.Perjry. •"''
Mr. Ashley seemed to be pretty well
posted in regard to the business of the
towns along the line of the F. & P. M.
railroad, nnd was not opposed to changing the route so as to take in Clare. Mr.
Sutherland and Engineer Mnrsh are looking tho land over between hero and Mt.
Pleasant, and Mr. Ashley will bo in Claro
ono day next weejy.ffcy conclude negotiations.
Tho gentlemen from Claro returned
home early this morning elated over the
prospect of getting tho road. Our poo-
plo should not let the boom lag. Talk
it and keep talking it. There is no qu os-
tion as t > the great bonefit the road
would be to Clare and to every farmer
who does tradiug here. Keep tho ball
rolling and Clare will bo an important
point on the n( w road within a year.
Side aud "Neglected.
Mr. Editor: I wish you would publish my sickness in your paper. I have
lain here about ten days sick and not ono
of the brothers comes near me, but they
don't forget when it comes timo for to
pay my dues. Dr. Todd is tho only man
that comes near me at all.

The Slayer of "William Salisbury is
Bound, over for Trial iipon
that Awful Charge.
IMPORTANT EVIDENCE ADDUCED.
"I Don't Have to Fight with my
Pists.—They'd Better Leave
me Alone."
A  (IUAUUKL.
Fred Hickey told the Coroner's
jury Monday morning that he stood
in front of his saloon on the night of
August 21st and heard .some disturl -
nneo between men near the railroad
track. He listened but could notdis-
tinguish what was said, nor could he
see the persons. Then came the four
.shots. Dunn had been iu his saloon
and taken a drink of whiskey just
before.
WAS THE MUKDEtt  I'LANNKD ?     -'
Warren Keller testified that Dunn
and Koontss were together when the
latter had a quarrel with someone in
Salisbury's ^saloon. Witness had
parted them, and had then gone to
his stable to get a rig to take Koontz
home, He found Dunn and Koontz
near Horning Bros.' store nnd 'heard
Dunn[say, "They'd better; leave me
alone. I don't have to fight with my
fists. I have other means of fighting,
and I'll show them before I getoutof
this town."
The verdict was|;iu accordance with
thc-jfacts as.already/published in The
Press. Prosecuting Attorney Bur-
ritt took Harry Levington and Dade
Sherman before Justice Mclntyre,
and ""complaint was made against
Dunn for murder. Sheriff Graham
brought the prisoner down from the
county jail on the afternoon train.
Several hundred people had collected
at the depot to geta glimpse of Dunn
and the presence of so many people
evidently frightened the prisoner,
and- crie&ofi-.:; >, # T ».■■,.■■ -«^,-;^fy?f  '
*-KOPE'' "''ROPE'r V :'i
did not tend to make him "ifcel ..any
safer. The crowd followed the Shoij,
iff up street to Lawyer fc,Wheaton*"s
office, but offered no violence: When
Dunn was taken before Justice Mclntyre the court room was packed
with men, and the prisoner glanced
hurriedly about the room, trembled
and turned pale. His eyes rested for
a moment on Levington who met
the stare unflinchingly and the prisoner turned away. The Court read
the complaint charging that Dunn
"did feloniously wilfully and of his
malice aforethought, kill and murder William Salisbury." W. W.
Green, his attorney, answered for the
prisoner, saying that he desired to
waive examination, "but" he added,
"if this were a charge to flinch Ave
could plead, we should say most emphatically not guilty." This- remark
was intended to paralyze the spectators, but it failed to make an impression.
Justice Mclntyre said that this is
a case in which bail cannot be given,
and he then committed Dunn to jail
to await trial at the November term
of the circuit court.

Hakuison, August 31.—"Slippery

Who is awaiting tiial for stealing.and
Mike Conway and George Lee. two
prisoners in jail charged with burglary, took supper in the "cage" as
usual Monday evening, and then
they quietly walked out of jail and
disappeared. • Their departure was
heralded by the outcry of one of
Shei'iif Graham's children who lay
on the floor in the kitchen and was
trod upon by u prisoner a3 he passed
through that room. The trio were
the only inmates of tho jail at the
time, the sheriff having taken Dunn
the^murderer of Salisbury to Clare on
the afternoon train. Tho alarm was
quickly giyen ar.d Under Sheriff
Mack who was here, and Marshal Austin started in pursuit. The
latter officer was as lucky in this case
as when Watson the forger did the
pepper act and made a break for liberty. As on that occason, one of the
fugitives walked into Officer Austin's
arms out in the woods a few miles
from town, and was escorted bacK to
his quarters in t.iejeoiinty jail. This
was "Hlippery Bill," who citlu-r did
not know or refused to toil the direction his "pards" had taken. A (this
writing Conway and Lee are at
large.
$25 KEWAllD.
Sheriff Graham has issued a circular which reads as follows: "$2.f>
reward each, for Mike Conway and
George Lee, who broke jail at Har-
riaoiiTon JMb1iats1y flight; August 80th-
188G, they fiaving been charged wilh
burglary. Conway is about24yenr3
old, o feet 8 inches high, sandy complexion, wore light calico shirt and
dark clothes, weighs 1G0 pounds. Is
a hard drinker and tough character.
Lke is about 2:> years old, dark hair,
small black mustache,] high Roman
nose, 5 feet 7 inches high, weighs 1-10
pounds, and wore light calico shirt
and dark clothes. The above reward
will be paid for their arrest and de-
tentionlin any jail in the United
States"
HOW IT WAS DONK.
Investigation in the jail disclosed
the fact that the prisoners had made
use of wooden keys to open the doors.
Several of these keys the fugitives left
behind them, and they are well
made. Pieces of hardwood had been
handed in through tho outside windows, and the prisoners in tho corridors whittled out their keys at their
leisure. Jim Loomis says that when
he was in jail the prisoners were go-
j        A. Boy's Re-warcl.
Jtiiy 25 last little Bobt. Wilson, living
he^r Coleman, aged 12 ^years, was in
search of his cows and chanced to cross
tho railroad and notice a broken rail.
His father is a section hand on the Plint
& Pere Marquette railroad. Without
further thought of the cows, but of the
lives that might be lost by a train passing ovor tho rail, he ran home, jumped
upon a horse and oame as fast as possible
to Coleman and notified tho section men
of the broken rail, that it might be fixed-
before a train passod over it. The little
fellow then returned home with no other
thought than that of having done his
duty. Last week tho railroad officials
sent him a pass and asked him to come
down to Saginaw, where they entertained
him in handsome style, gave him a boat
ride on the river and sent him home at
night rigged out with a new , suit, of
clothes from top to toe. Bully for Bobby and the railroad.

that they intended to go out quietly
iftherewasa good chance, but to
down tne Sheriff if that was necessary. He, Dunn, wanted to inform
Sheriff Graham of the contemplated
escape but could not do ".without letting the others know he had squeel-
