Jackson, Miss, June 15.-The State Ledger
Of June 9th publishes the following, which
is authentic, be proven by numbers
of reliable witnesses:
On the 2Sth of May seven convicts escaped
from the state prison, as is well known every
where, but there is a strange coincidence or,
perhaps. more properly speaking, sequel to
cral public.
Some people might call this a ghost story
and not stretch their imaginative bump to
any outrageous or dangerous proportion, as
it does in truth and fact smack very largely
of the uncanny, strange, weird and CHASTITY.
To say the least it is mysterious, and no
one offers solution.
In the melee attendant at the recapture of
the desperate prisoners one Jim Miller was SO
unfortunate as to receive his death wound,
and from beneath the outrageous foliage of
noble elm tree his spirit was supposed to
have winged its flight to another world.
Brothers. Vengeance.

fruit stand here this afternoon. Hon. r.

walked into the place, and seated i'll
rs your name Campbell?" asked the at
torney of the stranger.
YES" was the reply.
''You wrote an insulting letter to my,
sister, didn't you?"
No sooner had he said this than the irate
attorney jumped toward the man and be-
labored him terribly with his hickory cane
He stopped only when his cane was
smashed to splinters.r Campbells face
looked like a map of Ireland after it was
all over, but he was dead game just the
same, and never cried quit, although prac-
tically whipped after the first blow. Camp
bell turned out to be S. S. Campbell, car
builder, who formerly resided i'll this city,

Killed for Little Cause.
Greenville, S. c., June 14--(Special.)-
j. Minis Sullivan, native of this place
and Il son-in-law of the late John W. Stokes.
shot and killed Herman q. Gilreath, a
member of the city council and a prominent
citizen, at twenty minutes after O'Clock
this morning.
The killing occurred on the southwest
corner of Main and Coffee streets and was
witnessed by large number of people.
No provocation for the murder can be dis
covered, the causes which lead up to 1t
being of the most trivial character.
Mr.. Gireath, the dead man, is a proml-
ncnt member OF the BuncomDe street
Methodist church and yesterday afternoon
was in the garden of the arsonage with
the pastor, the Rev. j. Thomas Pate. Mr..
Gilreath's coachman was doing some ploW-
ing for the minister and the sentlemrp
were engaged i'll conversation. While
walking around on the freshly plowcd
ground Mr.. Greath kicked up an old bot
tie and carelessly tossed it into the next yard
which is owned by Mr.. Sulliyan's mother
n-Iaw and where he resides with his wife
and three children, he having come from
Birmingham. Ala, some six months ago,
where he had been engaged in business for
some time past.
The act of Mr.. Gilreath in throwing the
old bottle in the yard caused the killing.
Sullivan is we'll connected but once got
into difficulty with his father and shot
him. He has no sympathy from the citi-
zens of this place and there is much eX-
element over what is freely called a
"cold -blooded murder
The coroner's jury will hold an inquest
Sullivan is in jail and will be closely
guarded He is about fifty years old.
Gilreath was forty years old and was
well to do Both were tall men.
