Jail Delivery.

| Last Sunday night II. Il. Porter, white
man, and Mack Sellers, a negro boy, es-
capped from the Jail by cutting hole
| through tho north end of tho building on
the ground floor. 1t was The custom of The
jailer, Deputy Sheriff Baxter Willis, to
| lock the prisoners i'll their cells every night
| about shutdown, but on this particular
evening he allowed them to remain in HE
corridor longer than usual, Porter having
| been complaining OF being sick for several
days. Mr.. Willis informs us that he called
| at tho Jail at his usual time in the evening"
| found everything alright and proceeded up
| town, intending to return later and lock
his prisoners up i'll their cells. Shortly
after going uptown the rain sot in and he
did not return until about halt past nine
when he found to his CONSERVATION that the
prisoners had escaped. He Immediately
| summoned assistance and went in pursuit
OF the fleeing Jail birds, catching the incor-
rigible Mack Sellers at his mothers house
in this city. Mack said that he did not
| intend to run away, but on tho contrary
| would have returned next day, and that he
did not give the alarm because he feared
violence from Porter. It was thought, and
correctly so, that Porter had taken the
| railroad towards Vicksburg and Mr.. Willis
secured a hand car and started in pursuit.
He learned at Gordon station that Porter
| had stolen u hand car from the section
| house near there and the race was begun in
earnest. At Girard Porter hired three
negroes to propell his car and fairly dis
! tancel his pursuers. He reached Delhi
about early dawn and there left the hand
car on the track and took to tho woods
| Mr.. Willis then returned, notifying Sheriff
Scott of Richland of the escape of Porter,
| who at once organized posse and sent
| them in pursuit. Porter was convicted
! recently at Rayville for embezzlement and
was sentenced to the penitentiary for three
years. He took an appeal to the Supreme
Court and pending the appeal was brought
| here and lodged in our Jail for safe keeping.
He bears generally bad reputation and
will no doubt give the authorities much
| trouble in effecting his recapture.
