JeWett l.. Thomas. a white man, who
was tried. convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary for two years at the
September term of the County court on
charge Of stealing cattle, and who was
In Jail awaiting the arrival Of a guard
from the penitentiary. and Norris Rob-
lnson, colored, who was under Jail SEN
tenee Of eight months for assault, escap-
ed from the county jail Sunday morn
ing between the hours of 2 and o clock.
Jailer Thos. A. Dawson was absent from
the city and the keys of the Jail were in
the hands Of some one else. However,
the escape was made easy owing to the
fact that the cells occupied by the two
mon had been freshly painted and they
had access to the corridors during the
day and when night came no one locked
them up and with the use of plum
beers tools-plumblers had been at
work in the jail-they cut the bolts
out Of the windows on the third
floor and with ropes made out of their
bed clothing they reached the ground
and left for parts unknown. Telegraph
and telephone messages have been sent
In all directions nothing officials in other
places to arrest them. The young
ladies at the Mutual telephone exchange
heard the noise at the jail and thinking
something wrong telephoned to the post
office for aid, but only one man being
on duty there he could not leave. The
escape was not found out until after
daylight Sunday morning.

Attention, Company K.

Captain R. s. Ker, of Company K.
West Augusta Guard) received last
night from Major Price. now at Rich
mond, mastering out the Third Regi-
-ment, the following telegram: 1.-The
Secretary of War directs that you as
semble your company for muster at
your home station instead Of Richmond
at end of furlough. Shelter and meals
will be provided for you there. Notify
your men.
The furlough OF the company expires
on the I'D and all members are requir
ed to report here ON that day. Captain
Ker says the object of the message is to
keep the men in Stanton and not take
themto Richmond on the ed, as that
city Is now filed with the Third regi-
ment. 1t is natural to suppose that the
boys can receive better attention here
than il taken to Richmond.
