Hunting Escaped Convicts-A Heroic
Woman

A Helena, Ark, telegram says: All Of
the convicts who killed Mr.. Cant and
escaped the other day are at large except
ing five who were captured. The other
men are now hiding in the woods and
canebrake, almost nude, and exposed to
every suffering. They have thrown off
their outer clothing, and are even bare
footed The hunt has been continued
since Saturday, day and night. Saturday
night nearly every citizen was armed and
out at his post endeayoring TO cut Off the
march OF these desperadOes. They were
thought TO have taken TO the hills, and pur-
suers patroIed and searched all day Sun
day, but without effect, except to learn
that they were hiding in the bills, and had
invaded several houses begging for food
and drink. Final escape is almost impoSsi-
Bile, rs nothing is being left undone to Sc
cure them and rid the county Of such des-
peratc characters. A reward OF $500 has
been offered for their capture.
The convict who shot Mr.. Cant is
white man named Mccarthy, his former
crime also being murder. Mr.. Cant only
spoke once after the shooting. When asked
by the superintendent if he was hurt he
answered, II am killed." His wife was
two miles distant. When hearing that her
husband was shot she jumped on a horse,
with mans saddle-thc only means near
and, wading and swimming deep water,
she reached her husband only to find him
a corpse. The scene was pitifu. An old
Irish soldier who witnessed it said that he
shed tears for the first time in twenty years.
