A prisoner escaped from the GUS
tody of Marshal Mcdonald yester-
day by taking an unfair advantage
ofcourtesy extended by that official,
and made tracks for elsewhere. Mr..
Mcdonald gave chase as well as
any man of his inches but the dis
lance widened and the prisoner
seemed in q fair way to escape. The
officer fired couple of shots in the
air but the fugitive continued to
fuge. "A crowd assembled on the
south east corner of the square to
watch the race. They went toward
Giles College and were lost a short
tine behind the houses along Pleas
ant Run. When they came into
view again they were walking very
slowly up the hill in front of the
college. Policeman Flippin saw that
it would take all summer to decide
the race and:borrowing a horse, went
in and won without a struggle.
Mr.. Tom Pitman was in the race
from the sstart. He outran Mr.
Mcdonald and possibly could have
caught the prisoner if he had been
quite sure that he could afford tc

his little boys to mind a gap one

from a certain death by his loud
cries for help. He is doing tolera

and full, embracing everything that
can in sny way contribute to the
welfare, prosperity and happiness
of those who delight themselves in
serving God. ULvA d EUNIcE.
