FOOLED THE JAILER.
Two Prisoners Escaped From st.
ClairsviIle Jail in an Easy Man

Two Prisoners Escaped From St.
CIairsville Jail in an Easy MAN.
ner.
Yesterday morning it was discovered
that Alonzo Petit and Charles Kettle
well had escaped from the county Jail
at st. Clairsville. From what could be
learned these two men were not in their
cells when Jailer Edward Keller went
into the jail to lock the cells. These
two men had fixed up a ruse in the
cell, and had hid themselves in the
corridor and waited until Keller had
locked all the cells. Then their chance
was easy, as he failed to lock the out
er door of the Jail. 1t was supposed
they waited till dark and then walked
out. This is the only plan that can
be thought of for them to work
the scheme to get out. One thing
is certain, they are out, and I'D to a
late hour last night had not been can
tured. The sheriff offers a reward of
fifty dollars for the two men. They
were both sent up from Bellaire and
We're awaiting the action of the grand
jury. Petit was charged with stabbing
with intent to kill, and Kettlewell was
charged with burglary. Both are men
who have unsavory regulations. The
sheriff telephoned over the county for
the officers to be on the lookout. Mr..
Keller was Immediately discharged as
this makes four prisoners that have
escaped from the Jail in the last three
weeks. 1t is thought the prisoners will
be captured.

Hall made most serious, perhaps a
fatal mistake, in turning down Judge
Freer for permanent chairman of the
convention. Hall had a majority on
the committee on permanent organiza-
ton, and the committee selected Perry
A. Shanor for permanent chairman, but
afterward reconsidered its action and
selected Judge Freer. 1t is always GUS
tomary for a show of strength to be
made in this way, and the permanent
Craftsmanship is very important to a
candidate. The misfortune lay in the
fact that the committee turned down
an idol of the rank and file of the
party in West Virginia.
When the Hall following recognized
its mistake it was too late. The mis-
chief had been done and some dele
gates who loved F'reer more than Hall
voted for Halls opponents.

grocery wagon took fright on South
Chapline street, near Twenty-ninth

The driver, as he claimed, turned the
horse into the grocery store owned by

of catsups was participated to the ledge
below. where it broke. scattering the
goods all over the place. Neither the
