GAINED THEIR FREEDOM.
Charles wells and Jacob Cost Cut Their
Way Out of Jail.

Charles Wells and Jacob Cost, two prisoners
last Saturday night and made good their es-
cape. Wells is charged with robbing the store
of j. Z. Evans 4 Bro, at Carrollton Station,
and Cost with stealing $40 gold piece. The
former is stranger in Carroll and the latter
is from Freedom district.
They did the work in a way that no one
would ever suppose an attempt at lail-breaking
would be made. On the second floor of the
prison, at the head of the steps and about
feet from the floor, is an iron door in the wall
about by p feet, secured by II inch steel
hasp. A man to reach this door must stand
on the railing around the gallery and then the
door wonld still be above his head, and as the
distance from the wall to the railing is about
3 feet he had very insecure position to work
in. AT all events, these prisoners took stout
iron poker and broke the steel hasp in two
places. After getting mp to the door there is
space inside about by 10 feet, at the bot
tom of which is a well into which the water
closets empty, and five-inch terra Gotta pipe
runs up through the roof to carry off the odor.
Getting inside they found an Offset in the wall,
and after climbing around this they cut a hole
in the roof and climbed through. Then they
had the whole length of the jail roof to walk
over until they came TO the residence of
Sheriff Elias B. Arnold, where they got down,
and, after tearing blankets in strips, tied one
end around the dormer window and slid down
to the roof of the porch below, and from there
it was short work to reach the ground. The
prisoners remaining in Jail all deny any know
ledge of the escape and say they were asleep.

William Long has moved into the house
lately occupied by j. E. Evans; thus Carroll
ton has gained another worthy citizen.
Storekeeper Evans wears a very long face
just now, because the man Wells, whom he
had placed in Jail, has left for parts unknown,
and there is doubt about his returning for
trial. We recommend offering him Christ
mas present if he will only return.

 Before adjusting this piece, the crocheted square should be drawn over the globe and each chain caught by a few stitches to the sides of the circular piece which covers the end. After fastening the bias piece, add the same slanting stitches that are used to fasten the ends together (etting this fastening come over one of the crocheted cords) to the plush where each cord comes, as shown in the illus tration. Then fasten the ends of the cords to the edge of the basket at equal distances.
 Last of all, make bow with quite a cluster of loops and fasten it to the center of the crocheted square at the top of the globe, adding a short erocheted loop by which to hang the finished holder.
