A stolen Pony Found on HoweIl's Trail.
Mr. T. A. Willoughby has received a
letter from his nephew, J. W. Wi1lough-
by, of Bismarck postoffice, Lawrence
county, under date of April Dist, from
which we copy the following excerpts;
"On the night of the 18th inst, some
rascal stole Johnnys mare. On trac-
ing her we discovered two horses
tracks, and on the second day overlook
them loose in the woods. A good sad
die was hidden behind a log close by.
We have taken up the strange pony,
knowing she was stolen, and believing
she came from about Brookhaven.
From the description of the man, |
think he is one of those who broke out
of your county jail To be plain, we
believe it to be jeff Howell. He was
seen near Antioch church on the 10th,
about o'clock P. NJ.
'The pony is a small gray mare with
an old bump on her back. Looks to be
between 10 and 10 years old. I wish
you to give notice through THE LEAD
Err that | have her and the owner can
get her by proving property and pay

Howell, think, has crossed the river,
as the man who had the horses was
shared away from them and went to-
ward the river"

Jail here with four other prisoners
| April 10, was recaptured in the south
eastern corner of Pike county, about
eight miles from the Louisiana line,
Saturday afternoon, and brought here
late last night and turned over to the
sheriff by his captors, who took the
train at Summit.
Since his escape, Howell has visited
Copiah, Lawrence, Marion and Pike
counties, being greatly hindered in his
efforts to get away by the floods. He
was endeavoring to reach Tangipahoa
parish, La, when overtaken. He has
kept up his old tricks, and his captors
say since his escape he has stolen three
horses and two yokes of oxen 1t was
this which caused him to be pursued
so hotly and recaptured. He was ar
rested by a white farmer named N. H.
Conerly and a negro named II. II. Fish
err with yoke of stolen oxen in his
possession. He travelled chiefly by
night and was tracked to where he left
the road and entered the woods with
the oxen. A short distance from the
road he was discovered by his pnrsuers
fast asleep and his arrest was easily eff
fected, as, in addition to being asleep,
he was unarmed, save for small
pocket knife.
When interviewed he refused to
makeany statement as to how he effect
ed his escape further than to deny en-
phatically that he was furnished saws
by his brother. He said he had fine
mare, Winchester rifle and $50 at his
brothers house in Lawrence county
and intended when he got out to get
these and leave the State, but before he
reached his brothers he discovered the
officers of Lawrence were on the
watch for him and changed his plans.
He said that he was hemmed in near
Columbia by his pursuers one night
when they were pressing him close, and
he slipped up to house where they
were stopping, overheard their plans
and then went out and turned the en-
tire party's horses loose, in this way
gaining some valuable time. Howell
says until last November, when he came
to Mississippi, he had lived ten years
in Terrebonne parish, La. He is an
engineer by occupation and ran an en-
gine in Louisiana sugar house. Be
fore that he lived in Arkansas. He is
an expert Jail breaker and is believed
to be an all-round crook.
His captors received the reward of

ed for his arrest and delivery. Times

was arranged, and Mrs. Hearst furnished the
funds She offered $50 900 in prizes and maid all
the expenses OF the committee The first Jury met
at Antwerp and 1t was stated there that the
contest notable for the number of plans
submitted, the high standing of the competitors
and the general interest manifested in the result
by architects of two continents. The final award
made by jury which held its meetings at
San Francisco and awarded the first prize of
$4,000 to Mr. Bernard.
The jury of award consisted of the following
architects of acknowledged standing: Jean Louis
Pascal. of Paris, the architect of the National
Library Of France; Pane Wallot, of Berlin
whose monument is the Reichstag building; r.
Norman Shaw, of London the designer of the
Institute of Charter Accountants and the Guild
hall at Cambridge, and Walter Cook of New
York. president of the New-York Chapter of
Architects. The competition conducted with
remarkable success and absence Of criticism.
The five sets Of plans which were the result of
the competition have been presented by Mrs.
Hearst to the university and while it is prob
able that Mr.. Benard's ideas will be carried out
In the main features, Mrs. Hearst's contribution
to the group will for the present be only the
mining building, in memory of her husband,
which will be placed in keeping with the adopted
plans. 1t is probable that other parts of the
plan will be carried out by Mrs Hearst, and
that other Californians will contribute toward
the execution of the general scheme.
Henri Jean Emile Bernard the successful archi-
tect, is known to many Americans from the fact
that he built the Young Mems Christian Asso-
tiatlOn Building in Paris. He born in 1914,
in a little village Havre where he entered
an architects office boy. At early age
he went to Paris, where he studied under Pac-
card. His biographer says: Successfully the
young Bernard took every prize offered by the
Beaux Arts, gaining finally the Prix de Rome by

with women, there is a vast field of idealism in

out that such differences in ability occur in their
line of work, too"
A generation ago the possibility of a special
talent for posing children before the camera
only vaguely recognized. Then one of the
'positionists' at Gurney's-the most famous
Photographic studio in the New-YOrk of that
day-exhibited this special talent unmistak-
ably that he, and he alone would be called in
whenever child had to be posed. Later on this
artist, recognizing the commercial value of his
peculiar gift, opened a studio of his own in
Brooklyn and became one of the first photOg-
raphers to advertise chdren's pictures as a
speciality. The process of specialization has now
gone so far that some artists announce them
selves as photographers of children only
