CUTE FARMER.
OUTWITS THE SHERIFF. (Times-Sydney Snn Special Cable.)' NEW YORK, January 19. A man named Edward Beardsley, a farmer of Maraysville, defied arrest for three days on a charge of shooting the local postmaster. Beardsley locked himself in his house with his wife and nine children surrounding him as a living shield. The sheriff's posse camped round the house, but the sheriff confesses that he is helpless. If he storms the house the children will be hit, and if he continues the siege the children will starve.
