TOOK GREELEY's ADVICE.
Did the Two Prisoners who Broke Out

of the U. :. jail at This PIscel
The ARDMoREITE' correspond
ent at Tussy. a place so miles
northwest from here on Wild
Horse creek, sends US the follow
ing news regarding the two men
who broke Jail at this place Fri
day morning, and is the only real
definite report of the fugitives
whereabouts since last seen
here. 1t appears from his letter
that the boys were pulling for the
Comanche reservation and were
allowing no grass to grow under
their feet. We give the letter as
received which will prove quite
interesting to all who have felt
any interest in the case:
Tussy, May 22.--The two young
men Fred Mcclure and John
Boyce, who broke Jail at Ardmore
last Friday, passed this place early
Saturday. They were riding bare
back, about one and a half miles
from town they borrowed saddles
from the Thomason Brothers and
claimed they had had their horses
stolen from them Friday night at
WOodford, that they were after
the thieves and only an hour be-
hind them. After they left Mr..
Thomason concluded there must
be something wrong as they left
yearling colt in the lot until they
the (horse-thief hunters) should
return, jumping on a horse he
hurried to town to see if they had
passed through, but instead of 60
ing through the place, they went
around through the woods riding
in a gallop. Mr.. Thomason secur-
ed guns and a posse and followed
them for six miles, leaving their
trail in the head of Sandy Rear
creek. Returning for fresh horses
a party started after them Sunday
morning and have not yet return
ed.
The young men suit exactly the
description as given in the ARD
MOREITE, the one with the scar on
his face being easily detected, the
other has discarded the sweater
and now wears light calico shirt.

The members composing the city
school board held a very interest
ing meeting last evening. The
main object being to form an in
ventory for the costs of maintain
ing an eight months free school in
the city, including all the necessary
expenses attached thereto. The
result of this investigation is to be
laid before the city government.
and all others interested in. free
schools, at a meeting for that pur-
pose this afternoon, an account of
which will appear tomorrow.
Pressing a member of the board
for an off hand statement of what
was done yesterday, he told the
ARDMoREITE that the ground had
been gone over very carefully and
it would require the sum of $l1 $40
to pay the current expenses of the
first eight months free school in
the city. This amount he said
seemed large, but it must be re-
membered that everything has to
be furnished for this first session.
The rents of buildings, seats and
all necessary school apparatus be-
sides the teachers salaries.
The school board has figured on
21 school rooms for the pupils and
salaries for that number of teach
ers and also one general superin-
tendent.
The cClored school will be less
expense, they find, to the city than
the white schools, in the fact that
their school rooms are already
furnished.
The buildings figured on for the
white pupils are the Dunlap college
on College hill, the Kings college
on Springer street. the school rooms
employed by Mesdames Niblack and
Carr and Prof. London's Ferndale
school building. There being NO
building in the third ward it will
be necessary to erect one there.
The meeting was.a most harmon
ious one and the city should GER
tainly feel proud of their choice OF
a school board, for it is composed
of men whose heart and soul is in
their work for the good of our peo-
pie, white and black, rich and
poor, alike.
