Columbia, S. C, Aug. 1S.-Several months
ago Mr.. and Mrs. James Li3e moved to

was empaneled and went to the Lide
homestead to view the remains. As the

TWO MEN BREAK FRoM JAIL.

Free lodgings.

Trenton, n. j., Aug. 13.-Willlam Spear
alias Buck" and Daniel Holden, escaped
from the state prison some time last night
and have not been heard of since The
absence of the men was discovered at roa
call this morning. Soon afterward fifty
constables, officers of the prison and de-
tectives were securing the country in
search of the men.
Investigation showed that the men, who
occupied the same cell, had got out by
means of a false key. They crawle1
through a register used for ventilation
through the boiler room, where they
changed their prison suits for citizens
clothes, which had been struggled to them
by friends.
They then broke a heavy chain that
holds the ladder in The boiler room and
with the ladder and coil of rope got to
the rear prison yard through a coal hole
They scaled the outer wall at point
where there is no watch, and concealed
the rope and ladder block away
Head Keeper Moore thinks the men got
out about O'Clock while the prison choir
was rehearsng. A reward of $50 was Of
fered for the capture of the men. Spear
was serving a ten-year sentence and EIol-
den a five years sentence.
