to the city. and had proceeded but shOr
distance when they
HEARD FIRING IN A FIELD
west Of the park. They supposed at one,
that some of the criminals had been cap
tured, and proceeded in the direction o
the field, when they met Deputy Dudley
who stated that he had found two
Of the men, and had fired al them at dis
lance OF about sixty yards, when they
started on 4 rapid run, notwithstanding
they were handcutfed and shackled. He
said he was returning to- town after posse
oi men, and asked Smith and his partner
10 accompany him. Still further search
failed To discover the whereabouts OF the
men, and the suspOsition is that Mr.. Dnd-
ley was mistaken.
NoEe OF the parties who were out sslast
night succeeded In capturing any of the
prisoners, and such was the situation this
morning, when the search was renewed with
even greater vigor than before.
Ii was reported TO the police, last night
that two horses owned by " y. Parberry.
who lives five miles south Of the city,
HAD BEEN STOLEN
from in front of Col. Snoddy's residence,
where they were hitched, while Mr.. Par
berry's son was inside. As two oi the pris-
oners are known TO have gone south, ON
Kentucky street, ii i supposed they stole
the animals and were thus enabled To get
without Of the reach OF their pursuers.
Two other animals were also taken from a
pasture west of Pohi's brickvard, and their
disappearance is attributed To the prison
erS.
Quite a number of parties started out i'm
quest Of the fugitives, this morning, includ-
ing Deputy Dudley and his assistants, but
al this writing noon no word has been
received from them.
The visiting officials have no one To
blame but themselves, and its no wonder
they are criticized.

This afternoon, Deputy John Hoffman

pense in recapturing the escaped prisoners

STILL LATER.
Just before geing to press, the BAZOO re-
ceived word that one of the prisoners was
at Windsor, this afternoon, and
will be brought here tonight. He re-
fused to give his name.
THE LATEST.
Throughout yesterday considerable ex-
element existed in the city over the es-
cape of the six prisoners from Marion
county who were confined in the calabeose,
and as the hours passed and no word was
from the posses in pursuit. il
seemed to be generally conceded that their
chances for eluding their pursuers were
good.
The first news of a definite nature that
was received came as a telegram to Mar
shall Shy from Windsor, asking ii any
prisoners had escaped from the Jail
here. He replied in the sffirma-
tative, and turned the message over
TO Deputy Sheriff Dudley, who sent one of
his guards south on the evening train,
where he found Thos. d Brien, the X ,..IS L.
train wrecker, whom he brought back on
the delayed train, arriving here at about
midnight.
A BAZOo reporter called at the calaboose
this morning and had talk with OBrien,
who seems TO be good natured sort OF a
Tool, and whose love o. CAB is only ex-
ceeded by his impudence. He seems TO
think himself quite here, and boas,ingly
that he was mot yet in the pen
itentiarv by a HI of a sight"
He stated that when the party gained
heir liberty, Tuesday night, he was hand
cufied and shackled with Faulkner
They, i'm company with Fisher and
Clarke, started of together, going south
and striking the X. & L. track Waldrip
and Miller went west, and OBrien saw
nothing more OF them.
The four, while yet in the city limits,
stole an AK, which they carried to 4 point
i've miles south of here, where they broke
their shackles and handouts, and were
has enabled to make much better time
han they had been doing.
After breaking their ornaments, Fisher
and Clarke struck across the country, while
DBrien and Faulkner continued their
Journey south. OBrien was without coat,
and suffered greatly with the cold. They
walked all night, and yesterday morning
found them about two miles frsm Windsor,
soaking wet, having been out in the heavy
rain which fell.
0Brien stopped at two farm houses for
The purpose OF begging coat, but was
