Auburn. N. Y., Oct. 21.—Convict No.
24,498 111 die state prison was commit
ted as Join .Murphy, alias -Frank Ma
son, from New York for attempted bur
glary, and has two years and six luouihi
to serve.
Chief of Police McMaster recently re
ceived a letter from ex-Sheriff John
Kivel of Argyle, Minn, requesting
assistance in finding liis son, Fred M.,
who disappeared from home ten years
ago at the age oi 14. Nothing had been
heard from him until a few weeks ago,
when Mr. Kivel received a letter signed
Frank Mason, No. 135 State street, Au
burn, N. Y., and saying that the writer
was his son. No. 135 State street is the
prison, but Mr. Kivel was uot aware of
that fact when he wrote the letter in
which he stated that bis father died a
short time ago, bequeathing a large
amount of property to his missing
grandson.
A detective called at the prison and
fully identified Mason as young Kivel,
and so notified his father, who was
greatly distressed to learn that his son
was a convict. He is now on his way
east, and will apply to Governor Black
for the young man’s pardon.

ROBBERS TRY TO ESCAPE
Hohannon a>i<l Hiis Gans Use a Steel >aw
on the Dalton Jail Bar*.
Dalton, Ga., Oct. 21. —Bohannon ami
his accomplices were caught in an at
tempt to break jail. They had obtained
a small steel saw and had cut seven bars
in two. They had three more to cut to
get to the brick wall; An hour’s work
would have let them out of the cage.
The prisoners in the cage appeared to
be very jolly and sang for an hour. The
singing was to drown the noise of the
saw. The jailer became suspicious, and
without giving an alarm kept close
watch. He discovered what was going
on, gave the prisoners a stiff talk and
told Bohannon to produce the saw.
Bohannon xvas inclined to put the re
sponsibility on the others, but they
would not have it. So Bohannon lifted
Sam Painter up on his shoulders and
Painter pulled the saw from a crack in
the wall behind the cage.
Bohannon was very much taken
aback by the discovery. He has evi
dently been counting on getting away
in a few nights.
Once through the iron bari-ed celh
they could Imve dug through the brick
wall in an hour or so.

THE HOME TRIBUNE FRIDAY. OCTOBER 2*J,
POTATO CROP VERY POOR.
New Turk I'm per Hukn* It* Fl-ial
of Mie Yield For ISO?.
New York, Oct. 21.—Not since 189*
has the potato crop of the United States
proved so nearly a failure, says The
American Agriculturist in its final re
port of the yield of 1897. Compared
With the liberal crop of last year there
is an apparent falling off of nearly 30
per cent in tonnage, and the quality of
the whole is greatly deficient.
County -nnd township returns from
all the leading potato growing states to
this weekly newspaper show the yield
of potatoes to be 174.000,000 bushels
against 240.000.000 in 1890, 2b6,000,000
in 1895. 185,000,000 in 1894 and oulv
155,000,000 in the short crop of 1892.
The average rate of yield per acre is
placed at 64 bushels, taking the country
at large, against 86 busnels in 1096, 89
in 1895 and 62 in 1892.
The reasons for the disaster to the
potato crop of 1897 are about as varied
as a multiplicity of causes could make
them. Standing out with more promi
nence than any other two factors are
blight and rot, as a result of extremes
of weather conditions. Excessive rain
fall here and there, failure of germina
tion, later serious drouth, rust, scab,
insects, etc., have all been prominently
in evidence, though complaints of this
character are less general than for the
two first named.
While the yield in bushels is small
th* quality is also deficient. This is
true of most, but not all states. The
crop is best in the northwest. Such
portions of Canada as make a specialty
of potatoes, notably Ontario and the
maritime provinces, show a general but
not serious shortage.
