ESCAPED PRISONER CAPTURED.
By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, February 10. Archibald McNeil, who escaped | from the Terrace Gaol, Wellington, on January 23rcl last, was captured I this morning at Korinite Pa, 40 miles up the Wanganui river, by Constable Thompson. The prisoner was reported to have been seen at Wangaehu, thirteen miles fram here, last Thursday, since when the police have been on his trail. He represented himself as a relative from Australia to a farmer near Wanganui, and stayed there a couple of days, being traced from there to Koriniti. He violently resisted arrest, and once got away from the Constable, making for a horse which he had saddled and bridled in case of surprise. McNeil, who is a powerful fellow, said he had vainly tried to get possession of a revolver, and if he had one he would not have been captured. He had a razor and pocketknife on him, when arrested, and vainly endeavoured to get at the razor when struggling with the policeman.
Mr W. A. Kellow, Taranaki Street, Wellington., N-Z , writes : " Tneie is no question about it—Chambeilain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhcca Remedy is a line one. I have used it several times and it always gives me immediate relief. Not long ago one of my carters came home with a very severe attack of colic and diarrhoea, and it only took twe> doses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to fix him up in good shape. I never go away on a trip without-a bottle of this medicine , for I find that change of water often affects one." For sale by all chemits and storekeepers
