Wednesday evening at lock up time
Mccarthy, a prisoner at the
Penitentiary was missing. y search
was at once instituted and he was
tracked toward the river. but on ac-
count of the darkness the search was
abandoned until morning. At t o'clock
yesterday morning Seldom Richards,
who is employed at the Arlington
Hotel saw a man coming towards him
and a partially opened overcoat re-
vealed the prison stripes. Seldom lost
no time in argument, but took the man
to the county Jail and the captive
proved to be the much wanted McCar-
ty. He was returned to the Prison
early yesterday morning.
McCarty was sent from Storey
county for twenty-one years and had
but a few years to serve. His credits
are now gone and he will be compelled
to serve the full term. He has been
among the TRUSTEES and regarded as
slightly unbalanced. He has been en-
ployed at outside work about the
horses, and seeing an opportunity te
make his escape wandered Off.

of the boy, as he has always had the ut
most respect of the citizens of this coun
ty, and the blow is felt the worst by thu
boys parents.

Looks sLike Talbert Against
Tillman.
Against

Special to The News and Courior:
Representative Talbert Is too
busy fighting subsidies and the
pensions to pay serious attention
to the political rumors which oc-
casionaIIy Ho0t up tins way to the
effect that he proposes to make
race for the senate against Senator
Tillman. Mr.. Talbert says he
has given the subject simply a
passing thought, suggested by an
occasional letter he receives from
an enthusiastic constituent. He
assures me that he is perfectly
satisfied with his present position
in the house, and is contented to
remain here and render such SER
vice to his constituents as long as
they are satisfied with his stewards
ship. He has made it rule since
he entered congress to refrain
from interfering in any way with
local or State politics. He con-
tends that members of congress
should combine their efforts to
promoting the best interests of
the people of the State from
national standpoint, and allow
others to manage local politics.
With his characteristic cnnscrva-
tlsm Mr.. TaIbert says he doesn't
know what he would do if the
people of the State were to ask
him to go up higher, but for the
present he is entirely satisfied to
represent the Second district in
the house of representatives.

Mr. Oliver Davis's remedy of hang
ing thermometer on the clothes

us in Dallas, Monday, that when
he went to theStore to get his seed
potatoes the bugs were there
looking over the merchants books
to see who had bought.
