OF the field for 10 seconds in which he
would clean up one one of the candi-
dates. Last Wednesday morning three
of the colored convicts while at work in
Rader's cut, dropped their wheelbar-
rows and took to the woods. The guards
fired on them, and pursuit was made
W course but few could pursue, because
the remaining 80 had 10 be looked after.
They had run mile before they were
overtaken, and two of them wounded
with pistol shots. One Of them was re-
taken, but the other two escaped. Eff
forts are being made by the company to
recapture them, but with what success
remains to be seen. When caught, as
they will be, they will not be brought
back, but put again in the Pententiary,
with their terms doubled.
