Homer Willis and e. Il. Fitzgerald Give the
Alarm--A Big Hole Burned.
Henderson Moore, the negro who was
committed to Jail last week in default of
a $500 bond for hog stealing, now has a
still more serious crime hanging over
him.
About four o'clock last Thursday
afternoon the alarm of fire was given at
the jail, and smoke was seen issuing
from the roof of the building.
Henderson Moore had, with matches
Furnished him by his wife, set the top
ceiling of his cell on fire, and Homer
Willis and E. B. Fitzgerald, occupying
different cells gave the alarm. The fire
company responded promptly and soon
eXtinguished the flames, not however,
before considerable hole had been
burned.
Jesse Ward, the murderer of Mr.. j. F.
McClung, and another negro, occupied
the cell with Moore and it was their in
tentions to overpower Jailer Tedder
when he ran up to take the prisoners
from the burning building and make
their escape
In this they faile7, however, as the
Jaller was on to their trick, and he let
them stay in the burning cell, which was
filled with smoke until the fire company
arrived and extinguished the flames.

Why 1t Was There--Some Important and
Interesting News for Our Readers.
The identical space occupied by this
item was cut from the last issue of THE
News. 1t created intense curiosity, and
there We're hundreds of inquiries at this
office to learn the cause of it. The in
terest in the matter was so great that a
a large number sent to our office for an
other copy Of the paper-one that had
not been clipped and one gentleman
quit his work and came to THE News
office to learn why a piece had been
clipped from his paper. Every man and
woman in the city has asked about it,
and the interest it created is only equal
ed by that taken in the handsome ne w
lot of watches and jewelry that has just
been received by the S2le-Davis Drug
Co. Their display Is the handsomest of
the kind ever exhibited in Dawson, and
they are selling at wonderfully low
prices. They are also selling Webster S
Unabridged Dictionaries at S1.75.
