RAN OFF WITH A CONVICT.
A White Guard at Bolton Elopes

| A White Guard at Bolton ElOpes
With q Black Murdsress.
ATLANTA, GA, May 2O-About O'Clock
this morning one Of the guards at the Boil
ton broom factory spirited away a young
negress, life convict, and eloped with her.
The escape was evidently deliberately and
shrewdly planned. Not only did the fugi-
tive leave no trace, but up to
this hour nothing has been
heard from them. The name of the guard
was NJ n. Bollen. He is described as 2S
years Of age, heavily built and unable TO
look any one whom he addresses squarely in
the face. Instead of doing so he nervousy
pulls at his muStache while talking. He has
been a convict guard for five or six years
Before coming here ne lived in Mississippi,
though be was probably brought up in
Georgia, as his relatives live at or near
Marietta.
THE WOMAN.
The woman he chose for paramour was
a mulatto convict belle of 49, a murderess
convicted in Quitman county. Her name
is Eliza Randall, alais Evergreen Smith.
In entering upon this disgusting business
the white man appears to have taken care
to select the most infamous criminal
he could discover in the ranks
of infamy. The Bolton branch
camp was instituted and has been run at
loss by the Chattahoochee brick company
for the express purpose Of secluding female
convicts. So far as the male malefactors
are concerned the scheme has not been a
failure. but no one anticipated trouble from
the white guards
HOW HE GOT AWAY.
The lessees have been unable to discover
Just how Bollen managed further than that
he took the girl away while every one else
was asleep. They announce a strong de-
termination to apprehend the couple, and
have offered 500 each for their capture. II
Bollen is caught he will be prosecuted for
assisting in the escape of malefactor. and
will probably receive a sentence of
from four to seven years. Hampered as he
is by the care Of the negro, it seems unlikely
that he will succeed in evadlng the officers,
especially as the woman limps in walking,
one leg being shorter than the other. She
has a scar on one cheek.

a WOUNDED INFoRMEa.

Commissioner Baight Goes to Make an
Investigation.
ATLANTA, GA, May 20.-United States
Commissioner Haight left tonight for Tai
lapoosa, Haralson county, where he goes to
investigate the motive for the shooting
Of government witness, Thomas
Cantrell, Sunday morning. The state
authorities have already arrested
the persons accused of committing
the crime and the punishment will be left
to the state courts unless it should be dis
covered that the shooting was prompted by
the desire Of the moonshiners to get rid of
Cantrelrs evidence. The injured man has
for some time been furnishing information
to the revenue raiders. 1t was not sus-
pected that he was playing the role of in-
former till recently, when it became neces-
sary to call him witness in moonshine
case. Since that time he has been watched
and distrusted by his neighbors.
TWO CASES DELAYED.
Two cases against Illicit distillersin which
Cantrel was the principal government wit
ress had been set for yesterday. Owing to
his condition he was unable to appear. On
Saturday night last it was conhdentially
breathed into his ear that if he would go
to Cooks grocery at Tallapoosa,
where rice beer and other
semi-prohibition drinks were customarily
sold, he would be able to intercept whisky
wagon which was certain to drive up in the
course OF the night. Cantrell was taken in
and complied. Until o'clock the next
morning he patiently awaited the arrival of
the wagon. Then he grew incredulous and
started homeward. After proceeding but a
few steps he was hailed, and turned about
to retrace MS steps. Immediately several
pistol shots rang out and the informer fell,
pierced by a bullet through the chest. The
wound may yet prove fatal The county
officers have already arrested Cook, the
storekeeper, and one or two others on ac-
count of knowing about the shooting.

greater efforts at economy, and will become a

man who hesitates to take the risk of more
than he can see his way through will always
be "a newer of wood and drawer of water" for
some other man. He should never take the
risk OF supporting family.
The acquisition of lot or of an acre of land
attaches new dignity to a man. He has at
tanned degree in citizenship which the holder
Of thousands of bonds, but not freebooter,
has no right to, and understands not.
The citizenship of the landowner is of a
higher order. He cannot fold his tent in a
night and quietly steal away. His interest
attaches to the soil, and he has become zone of

eminent increases, and he becomes Jealous and
