THE COUNTY JAIL.

Sheriff league has charge of the
hotel de county, which is in good
condition, and though not specially
recommended as a good boarding
place, the fare is said to be an ade.
quate supply of good, wholesome
food. Following is list of the
boarders and the causes why they
don't chang out" and place of
less savory reputation:
E. L. Jackson, young man whose
manners and address while here on
visit once made him friends, is
perhaps the most prominent inmate,
and is charged with negligent infant
icide, the ultimate outcome of which
is doubtful, but many believe that
the charge will not be sustained.
Jim Tut, convicted of murder at
the recent term of the district court
has appealed to the supreme court
for a new trial and Is waiting their
decision.
Jim Mike, theft of coat and vest, is
awaiting trial.
A negro boy by the name of Lee,
who has lost both legs, and then
stole horse, stumps around there
awaiting his punishment by the court
He is the greatest curiosity of the
prison. Manned as he is, and not
over twelve years old, he is said to
be the most incorrigible. thief that
ever picked a pocket or stole a
horse.
Will Fortune, recently convicted
in Justice Curry's court on two
cases, one of disturbing the peace
and the other of assault and battery,
is laying out his fine, and will prob
ably be held for assault with intent
to murder.
Of the inmates of the jail against
whom there are no charges but are
kept confined there for prudential
reasons, the only white person is
Jno. NJ. Drew, who is subject to yio-
lent attacks of epilertic fits.
Two negro women, who are per-
fectly crazy, completes the list, max
ing in all eight unfortunates confined
in Washington county jail.

A NEGRO BRUTE
Insults White Lady While on the Train,
Gets whacked Over the Head With
a Six-Shooter, and Then Makes

mis- Escape bJ Ledplhs
From the Train.
Monday as the work train from
Sommerville to Conroe was distrib
uting ties near Gay Hill, while I'm.
loading some ties, Mrs. Wallace,
wife of Mr.. Scott Wallace, a promi.
nent merchant of Gay Hill on her
way down to the village, perhaps
for the purpose of doing some shop,
ping, was passing, the section boss
called attention of the hands to be
careful as she was passing, or they
would strike her. Recognizing the
lady after the usual salutation the
section boss inquired if she was go
ing down to Gay Hill, and receiving
an affirmative reply, invited her to
get in the coach attached and ride
down, as the train would get there
sooner than she could walk down.
The conductor adding his approval,
Mrs. Wallace accepted the invita-
ton and boarded the car, and after
it had started the conductor and
section boss both went out of that
coach into the baggage coach. One
of the negro section hands entered
the coach and taking seat by Mrs.
Wallace, asked her where she lived
and if he could 60 home with her,
etc. She rushed out of the coach
called the conductor and told him
that negro had insulted her. The
conductor secured a six-shooter,
passed through the coach and see
ing a negro going over the cars fol-
lowed him, brought him back, and
when the lady identified him as her
insulter he hit him several blows
over the head with the six-shooter
and would have finished up by
shooting him but for the section
boss who interceded for his life and
suggested that they arrest and de-
tain him until he could be turned
over to the authorities at Gay Hill,
but before they reached there he
jumped from the moving train and
made his escape.
When Mr.. Wallace heard of it he
was naturally Indignant and at once
parties were notified to be on the
lookout for him. 1t was expected
that he would return to the section
house and the section boss promised
to capture him, or let Mr.. Wallace
know SO that he could, if he re-
turned. Sure enough he came, Sc
cured his Identification papers and
it is said, was told by the section
boss that he had better skip, as Mr..
Wallace would kill him, if he could
get up with him. It is said that the
action of the section boss turning
traitor to those trying to capture
the negro, made Mr.. Wallace so mad
that he declared his intention of
whipping the section boss. No one
seems to be able to account for the
section boss action in allowing,
when he could have SO easily have
prevented, such a negro to escape,
at least the punishment of the law,
for negro that would have taken
the risk of insulting lady at that
time and place, would do worse,
were the opportunities more favora-
ble-and should have been punished
for that offense.
The authorities are still on the
lookout for him, but at last ac-
counts no further trace of him had
been heard since he left the section
house.

the ceiling caught on fire, and but
for the timely discovery and prompt
assistance in extinguishing it, the
edifice would now be in ashes. The
stove flue, which goes up through
the ceiling, had got just little way
out of the fue so that the flames
went against the ceiling instead of
up the fue.
