Jail Burned.

The Jonesboro Jail was partially
burned about 3 o'clock Tuesday
morning by the prisoners in an eff
fort to escape. When the alarm
first was given Sheriff Hawkins
began moving his family and effects
from his rooms in a part of the
building. As. soon as they were
safely out of harms way the work
of rescuing the prisoners began.
There were fourteen in all and
they were taken out of their cells
and put under guard in the Jail
yard.
The citizens responded promptly
to the alarm and by hard work fin
ally succeeded in putting out the
fire after it had partly destroyed the
roof.
While the work of extinguishing
was going on "Brod," or John Per,
ny, the post-office burglar, who had
been confined a few days previous,
made his escape and left town,
From his partner it was learned
that Perry had laid the scheme and
fired the jail The other prisoners
were taken to Knoxville by Sheriff
Hawkins and Deputy Marshal Ray
for safe keeping and armed men
sent out all over the country to APP
prehend the escaped burglar, who is
a desperate character.
Yesterday morning Deputy Sher-
if Hickey, Deputy Marshal Ray and
ex-Deputy Marshal Kinney Martin,
procured artillery and horses and
dashed away. They had heard Of
Perry about two miles west of town
and in an hour he was retaken with
out the firing of a gun. The officers
separated and were securing a piece
of woodland near Dick Cars when
Deputy Sheriff Hickey found
"Brod" lying in some high weeds
sound asleep and unarmed. Hickey
covered him with his winchester
and woke HIM up and he consented
to become a prisoner the second
time.
He was taken to Knoxville on
the vestibule few hours later and
will be incarcerated until he has
his trial in the Federal court for
obbing two post-offices in Sullivan
ounty.
Sheriff Hawkins had offered $50.
for Peery's arrest. The work ofre-
pairing the Jail will begin at once.

Eat Supper and Stole a Gun.

A clever thief played a cunning
trick on Nat Williams, who lives at
Milligan, Monday night. 1t was
the night following class day and
there was some kind of social
gathering at the college, but Nat
and his wife did not attend. How
ever, the young people had gone
and the door was left open for their
entrance when they returned. Sup
per was left on the table also, that
they might refresh themselves be-
fore retiring. About the time the
young folks we're expected to get
back, Mrs. Williams, who was
sleeping with her husband and chill
dren up stairs, heard some persons
enter and go to the dining room.
Mrs, Williams thought that it was
the young folks, as they were eat.
ing, drinking and making merry.
After awhile all was silent; then,
to her surprise, a second party,
whose voices she fully recognized,
entered to find that the table had
been robbed of its fulness and sweet
ness.
A further search revealed Mats
500 shotgun on the porch. 1t was
thought at first that the thief had
weakened after filling his stomach,
but a little later it was discovered
that he, or they, had started with
Mats 500 gun and snapped it for
that of his son, which they found in
the hall as they went out 1t was
a one-sided bargain-the boys gun
was worth $40. No clue has beer
found, but the thieves were certain.

Taking Water,

Frank Evans, superintendent OF the
Watauga Water Works, has been busy
for several days laying pipe on Pine
and w. Market SITS. ABOUT 600 #. Of
six inch pipe was put down on these
two streets.
The Watauga Tannery had ABOUT
800 feet of six inch pipe and five hy-
draDts put on its property, and will
hereafter use water from the reservoir.
The amount of water which the tan.
merry will use every day will be very
beneficial, as it will prevent anything
like staguation in the mains in thst
part OF town.
