A reward of 400 has been offered for Bisks, alias Burns, who sawed out of Jail at Charlottsville November 12. When Bisks was brought to Jail he grew communicative and related that one Harvey Melton, who stole a load of cattle In Virginia, also aawed out of Jail with him (Bisks) and that Melton brought the saws into the Jail. Deputy Sheriffs Neirsthelmer and Kennedy then got busy and arrested Melton, for whom there is a reward of 150.

How Dryer Got Clue. Tt seems that Dryer became aware of the fact that Bisks or Burns, as he is known here, waa wanted in Virginia, a couple of nights ago Dryer stayed all night at the Commercial hotel and became acquainted with Bisks. The latter was in a talkative mood and (luring the course of the evening related to Dryer the story of his crime, which was that of shooting a man. awaited an opportune time, and with the assistance of Contable Nlcol located Burns at the farm of Frank Mecherle near Randolph.
