Two more penitentiary convicts have
escaped.
These two didn't bother themselves
about cling away iron bars and scaling
walls by means of blanket strips. nor
did they even wait until "twiXt the
suns to bid adieu to their friends-the
officials of the pen. They had perhaps
seen enough gross negligence and care
IessneSs since their confinement to con
vince them that if they wanted a little

was to saunter around in IN uncOncern-
cd sort of way for Il few moments, pick

the method adopted by them. If ii
keeps going on this way we shall expect
to hear that the next two that escapes,
will have exchanged clothes with the
guard. overSeer, or some of the officials,

bother them as they pass along through
the country.
Yesterday ut dinner time nj
the penitentiary all the convicts
were present or accounted for, but last
night when supper time came there were
two abSentees. Their names were Dun

Federal prisoner. They were in for one

lively.
\ search was made. but Dunlap and
Matthews were not to be found. They
had skipped by the light of the
sun. On investigation ii was found thar
they had crawled under the stockade
at point where a ravine runs under it.
They had removed the iron bars that
are placed in the trough through which
the water passes ont from the drain,
and just quietly crawled through and
promonaded along down the branch.
This trough is situated bout midway be-
tween two guard posts, not exceeding
fifty years from either but neither Of
the guards on duty at the time knew
anything about the escape Of the pris-
onerS. The wonder is how in the name
Of common sense the eyes of each of
these guards were kept off this particular
spot long enough for two men to escape,
as. il is next to impossible for them to
walk their beats without viewing this
particular point. unless they gdzed con
tinuously skyward. But Matthews and
Dunlap are gone and are making tracks
westward or some otherward.

Winston. 1t is seldom, if ever, that a
professional man of any standing
leaves a lucrative practice in a large

ed to secure his service, reason for
regret.
We have not upon any occasion
heard of single instance in which
DR.. Matthez has failed in carrying out
every promise he has made, or of a
dissatisfied patient. His actions are
to the highest degree honorable and
conscientious in his professional work.
Those who have failed to consult him
on account of charges do themselves
an injustice. He makes all examina-
tions free of charge, and it will not
cost you penny to consult him at
Hotel Phoenix. This will be DIR. Mat
thez's last professional visit to Win

proceeding in the slowest manner, and
that the ships are far from being ready

News was received here on Tuesday
that Charles Conrad, who served
on the Winston police force for some
time, few years ago, was shot
by man named Davis, near Enon,
adkin county, Monday afternoon
He was alive that night, but there was
little hope for his recovery.

ty, came here Tuesday after DR.. Balm
son, to go and see Conrad. He said
that the shooting occurred about I
o'clockp IN. Monday; that Conrad went
to the home of Thomas Lee Davis
drinking and ran him from home. The
trouble originated over an old grudge
Conrad followed Davis when the latter
turned around and fired his pistol
twice. One bali took effect in the
breast and the other in the left side
He then told Conrad that he did not
want to shoot him, but that he was
forced to do it. He also stated that
he did not propose to to leave home on
account of it.

L do not see how the Populists can
make a proposition to us, after the
developments of the past thirty days.
[ do not believe they will make us a
proposition and that one would be
accepted. There will be no coercion
by our committee or convention, but
any matters in the line of cooperation
will be left to the districts and coun-
ties to settle. Butler and his crowd
can't come here and make a deal with
us. | do not see how they would have
the cheek to make the attempt. There
must be some decency left in politics.
There may be cooperation of Popu-
lists and Republicans, but as they
may locally agree. 7"
