Harry K Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White, escaped from the hospital for the criminal insane here at ,. 7:45 o'clock this morning. A dart -v* for liberty through an open gate, a loan intn the door of a Dowerful au tomobile that stood quivering outside and a flight like a rocket for the Connecticut State line thirty miles away, accomplished his escape. To-night he was still at large and the hospital authorities felt certain ^ he was outside the State. Once beB yond its boundaries Thaw is free. Only months, perhaps years,of litigation can bring him back to Matteawan and then only in one event that he be adjudged insane in the ? ? /i l State, to which he nas nea. . Five confederates manned the car in which Thaw escaped and a big black limousine, which trailed it past ^ the asylum gate. The police have v?4he descriptions of Thaw's confederates and the names under which they registered at a local hotel Friday night and are seeking them. The hospital authorities believed fl^k^Jthat Thaw had fled to the shore of Long Island Sound and boarded a yacht waiting with steam up to rush H to Europe. I ? m Harry K Thaw, whose sensational f escape from Matteawan asylum Sunday morning startled the country, was captured Tuesday at a small village just over the Canadian line from New Hampshire. He will fight extradition. It is thought that Thaw will be deported fromCanadaand sent back to New Hampshire on the Hr ground of his being a "prohibited person" under the Canadian immi Farmers & Me BIr LAKE GIT At the Close of Busin [Bank Exami Uillo P/viaiiraKla L l>*\\Hi JJAAAO ?

Kingstree did it through the co-operation of her business men and a wise system of advertising. The receipts there this season have been nearly two million pounds. Thaty means some money to the channels of trade in Kingstree. Kingstree does not need that money any worse than Florence, but Kingstree got it, and if we want the money or the business we must get in the fight. We need a good lick to knock us out of our rut; we are getting too careless entirely, and we do not want to stay in this condition until we see things slipping away from us. We are too cock-sure that Florence is going to grow and property is going to increase in value, but if you owe any money on your property or in your business you had better be waking up and trying to see that Florence does not fall behind and the bottom drop out of things and you lose what you have. Maybe you deserve to lose it, but you do not want to, nor do we want to see you lose it, but it would wake you up.?Florence Timex. Local Items From Rbems. Rhems.
