ESCAPES JAIL.
r.. w. Burchard Confined on Charge {
Larceny Gives the Tailor the Slip.

On Tuesday evening as the jailor was
giving R. W. Burchard, confined in the
town jail on charge of larceny, his supper,
Burchard pushed the jailor aside and
rushed past him, making his escape to
the mountains, where he concealed him.
self until night. Active pursuit was at
once made for the escaped prisoner which
was at first unsuccessful, but when dark
ness came Burchard returned from his
place of hiding and commenced to make
his way up the Louisville & Nashville rail-
road towards Norton. Sergeant Gilly,
however, was laying in wait and succeeded
in capturing the fugitive before he had
gotten far from town, and brought him
back to town and placed him in jail again.
Burchnrd has been living here for over q
year past, and has been working on va
rious engineer corps in this section. On
Friday of last week, he went to the Bank of
Big Stone Gap and had draft cashed On his
father, who lives in Washington, for sew
enty-five dollars. He paid several small
bills about town, and left the next morn
ing on the South Atlantic g. Ohio train.
Suspicion was aroused after he had left
that he had been guilty of stealing many
articles which had been missed in the last
month Malcolm Smith, City Engineer,
for whom Burchard had last worked, tele-
graphed to Gate City and had him stopped
and brought back He charged Burchard
with having stolen set of drafting in
struments and hand level from his Office.
Burchard was brought back Saturday
night and placed under guard at the Cen
trail His trunk was opened the same night
and the drafting instruments were found
in it. Many other thefts were brought to
light by the opening of this trunk. A
pair of handsome opera glasses belonging
to H. r. Ferguson, and gold watch of S.
r. Jesse's were among the stolen articles
found. Burchard's trunk was filled with
many articles of clothing belonging to
different young men Of the town, and he
had evidently procured himself COM
plete outfit of clothing by many petty
thefts.
Burchard was before Mayor Bullitt
Wednesday morning and sentenced to fif-
teen days imprisonment for breaking Jail
The only charge Of stealing brought
against him was for the tax
ing of the drafting instruments. the own
ers of the other stolen property not ap-
pearing against him. On this charge he
was fined seventy-fve dollars and costs.

j. w. Holloway was chosen Temporary
chairman. He was introduced to the con-
yention by Mai. Wood and made short
talk in which he dwelt on the advantages
this county and section have derived from
the protective tariff He attributed all
the DEVELOPMENT that has been made here
to the policy of the Republican party,
He gave the Farmers Alliance little
taffy but qualified his remarks by saying
that he could not support the SUB.
ury scheme. Geo w. Blankenship was

enable the temporary chairman to appoint
the necessary committees.

peal of the present State election law was

ceiving 25 votes, and Colson ID; neces-
sary to a choice 49, The nomination was
made unanimous.
