CAPTURE AND ESCAPE.—The topic
for discussion in the village during the
past few days has been a live one and
keeps up the interest well. It is that
of the capture and escape of one
Fare.well,who victimized several of atm
citizens by uttering raised bills on
Wednesday, week. In company with
his wife, he visited several business
laces and finally selected Mrs. R.
heifer, (restaurant), and Miss V.
Smith. (Milliner), as his victims, At
Mrs. Sheffer's he purchased 15 cents
worth a candy from Miss M. Sheffer,
giving a raised $5 bill and receiving
$4.85 in good bills and coin. They
next visited. Miss Smith, and there
purchased $5 worth of millinery, giv-
ing a raised $10 bill, and receiving a
good $5 bill in change. All went along
smoothly until next day, when the
discovery was made that someone was
passing bogus money. The wetter
was sifted, and the Fcharge laid at
the door of one Farewell, a gardener of
Kirkton, who although thought to be
an absolute stranger in the
was 'known by someone. Constable
Sipple of Zurich, possessed a the
necessary document and accompanied
hy Detective T. Murdock hied them-
selves to Kirkton on Friday, and ou
Saturday morning succeeded in plac-
ing their man under arrest. He pro-
tested his innocence until nearing the
village, when he admitted having
passed the money; but if released. said
he would. settle with the parties, He
was taken before 'police magistrates
Smillie and McEwen on Satarday
afternoon, and cominitted to Goderich
jail for trial. Desiring to retmenhorne
same night, Constable Sipple made
arrangements to drive the prisoner
to Goderieh. ..bout four o'clock
Constable Sipple, Deteetive TMurdock,
and a lawyer, left as au escort for the
prisoner Farewell. All went well un-
til the party reached Bayfield, where
they tarried for supper. After
supper, the prisoner complained of
feelingsick and. asked to be taken out
side. His request was granted, Hay-
ing left his overcoat hanging in the
hotel, file Constable, although staying
close by him, never dreamt of the
prisoner attempting to escape. While
passing through it small gate leading
to the street, Farewell mule it bolt and
scaling a fence was soon out a sigrit
in an orchard. Sipple wile encased
in it fur coat, and While jumping the
fence got entangled in the barb wire.
In this predicament heves aggravating
to see his man escaping, but it was
doubly annoying to have hun bid
his captor good-bye. • Soon there was
a posse of men after him, but Fare-
well got out of sight and still remains
at large. After the Court he gave his
two yictims $2 each, which with the
$'.1 raised bill will lesson their loss.
lloth bills bad been Dezninion $2 and,
had been clumsily raised, one to a $5,
the other to a $10 by pasting figures
cut from tobacco box frevenue stamps
over the big twos. The smaller figures
in the corners of the bills had been cut
away and the letters t -w -o in the
centre changed to "ten" and "five" re-
spectively with pen and ink. On the
reverse side of the bill the small letters
"two dollars", forming a border were
erased. The bill converted into $o was
fairly well executed, but the work on
the $10 bill was clumsy and easily
detected. Farewell has been at the
business before, having but a few
weeks ago passed a raised $5 on Mr.
Hyslop, merchant of Cromarty. He
has not yet been reeaptured.
