OZARK. Mo-, January John Matthews,
one OF the condemned Bald-Kuobbors who
was released from Jail here few nights ago,
was brought back yesterday by james Col
lins, who captured him on the road three
miles south Of Ozark sunday night. lie was
almost exhausted by hunger ard cold,
having had but one meal since he LETT jail,
and had become dazed and lost and was all
broke up. He knows nothing about his
nephew Wiley Matthews, but from other
sources it has been learned that he, in
company with number Of friends, were
seen sunday twenty miles from here on
their way to Taney county. 10 Is not
expected that he will be retakeD very
soon, as he Is resOlute, determined man,
and Is evidently among friends who will
shield him from the officers and help him TO
resist any attempts to capture him. Sheriff
johnson and his deputies have returned TO
town, and perhaps will not 20 ont again for
some DAYS. A guard will be placed around
the jail from now until the Bald-Knobbers
are finally disposed OF. John Matthews says
he does not know who released him and his
companions from jail. All scattered in dii-
ferent directions when they got out. VII
liam Bedford, one OF the railrosd-cHr rob
bcrs who left the jail with Matthews, yolun-
tarlly returned last evening, saying IL wss
better to be IN jail than to starVe and freeze
