and Desperate.

Early Yesterday morning Hal Mason,
the colored porter at the county jail, was
out back of the new capitol building
when who should he see but Ed. Braden,
one of thu colored men who escaped from
the Jail Tuesday night.
Hal promptly took him in, and IN fe"
minutes Braden was back IN prison,
where care will be taken that he remains
ANOTHER CAPTURE.
Wednesday morning, after the escape
was made known, Detective Chennevllle
sent out notices to the different towns
giving description of the two men,
Wednesday night he received notice
that colored man answering the descrlp-
ton of Trimble was loating around the
depot at Manor, and evidently intended
to take the eastbound train for Hemp
stead or some other point down the line.
He at once telegraphed to arrest the
man aud send him to Austin, and on the
arrival of the train yesterday morning
from Manor, Trimble was aboard, but he
was anything but cheerful. He was taken
10 charge by Detective Chenneville and
returned to the jail.
STILL ANOTHER CAPTIVE.
Yesterday morning sometime before
daylight Deputy Sheriff Sam Platt was
browsing around on foot below Thiesen's
brick yard on still hunt for Bracken and
Trimble, the two escapes mentioned in
the foregoing. While about it he ran
across and recognized notorious charac-
ter named Henry Wallace, coiored man
who escaped from the Georgetown jail
about ten days ago.
Wallace recognized the officer and at
once made tracks toward the river
closely followed by the deputy.
He was frequently ordered to stop, but
refused to do so, and, redoubling his
efforts, finally reached the river into
which he plunged. He was followed by
Mr.. Plat, who had gained on him, and
about the middle of the stream was over
taken. Wallace swore he would not be
arrested, saying he would rather die. He
begged Platt to shoot and kill him then
and there. He refused for some time to
wade out to the bank, and when he did
so he showed fight and had to be brought
to time by vigorous blows with the six
shooter.
He insisted that Platt kill him, and
frequently on his way to the jail
he fought and struggled to get away.
He even went so far as to threaten to
commit suicide, and asked some one he
passed to throw knife to him, with which
to cut his throat.
He was, after much trouble, landed III
jail and will be conveyed back to George
town.
Wallace, at one time, was strongly sus-
pected as being the man who assaulted
and shot at young lady on Barton's
Creek some time ago, and there are those
who still believe he is the man.
