The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1901-11-14

Kansas City, Nov. O.-Ten of the
convicts who escaped from the fed
eral prison at Fort Leavenworth,
Kas., on Wednesday afternoon had
been accounted for today. Two of
them have been killed, two wound
ed, and six others have been captur-
ed unhurt. Of the seventeen still
at large, four are being closely press
ed by armed prison guards and citi-
zens, and word is expected at any
moment that they have been captur-
ed or killed. The other fleeing con-
victs, according to reports received
at Warden McClaughry's office as
late as this morning. are still max
ing for the Indian Territory. They
have broken up into twos and threes.
This is indicated, he says, by the
fact that robberies of stores and
residences reported yesterday when
the convicts were known to be
travelling in gangs have ceased to be
reported.

This case has been In The courts

that IL involved practically an en-

The land In question has been q
subject OF litigation because OF lis

The question involved Was the sale
Of the lsnd for partition. Judge

dered the sale and appeal was taken
to the Circuit Court OF Appeals.
Yesterday that court, which met for
the first time since the case was
argued before it, handed down the
decision as related above.
Ex-Judge James T.. Shepherd,
who, with MIR. w. ID. Pruden, rep
reseIted the defendants, was mott itied

which was victory for the defence.
Mr.. r. II. Busbee appeared for the

Mr.. A. b. Andrews, Jr., Was ap-
pointed by Judge Purnell a COM

been jocularly twitted about having

will now take place, unless other
legal remedies are resorted to. II

that has taken place in the State for

The only item now in the way Of
this desirable event il the assurance
Of guarantee OF sufficient co-opera-
tion on the part OF the citizens here
TO make IL q success, and thi. sssur-
ance will no doubt be given when
called for.
The date for the train TO visit the
capital city and give An example Of
good road building has not yet been
fixed but 1t will probably be some
time in January. 1t is intended to
hold good roads congress here at
the time, aud have present large
number Of representatives from
central and eastern counties.
Some Of the most public spirited
citizens OF this city are taking q
lively interest In securing the visit
of the good roads train and the hold
ing of the congress suggested. Both
the president Of the Southern Rail
way, Mr.. Samuel Spencer, and Mr..
M. V. Richards, the land and in
dustriai agent of that system, have
been written to by Mr.. John c.
Drewry, chairman of the street COM
mittee of this city, and favorable
replies have been received from
both those officials. Col. A. b.
Andrews. Of this city, first vice
president of the Southern Railway,
has been in favor of the movement
from the first, and will use his in
fluence in that direction.
Replying to Mr.. Drewry's letter,
Mr.. Richards says:
"Recognizing the interest your
citizens manifest in this important
movement, we have conferred with
Mr.. w. II. Moore, president of the
National Good Roads Association,
to see if it will not be possible some
time after January l, 1902, to take
the train to Raleigh for several days,
and l now have the pleasure of ad-
vising you that it has been tenta-
lively arranged for an exhibition
by this good roads train and for =
good roads convention in your city
sometime after the date mentioned.
This, however, cannot be definitely
announced until Mr.. Moore visits
your citizens, which he will do far
enough in advance in order to re-
ceive from them a guarantee of the
required local cooperation to make
this movement success. He will
at that time also arrange specific
dates"
The good roads train is at Ashe-
Vile this week. Last week it was
at Winston-Salem, and it is said
Raleigh will likely be the only other
place in the State to be thus favor
ed, and if that be true the visit here
will be doubly important and the
attendance at good roads congress
at that time should be very large,
, interest is awakening and quicken
ing in the matter of road coustruc-
tiOn all over the State and no doubt
a practical demonstration of the best
methods of building roads will at
tract I.any Of the citizens thus in.
terested to Raleigh.

National Aspects Of the Elections.

New York World (Dem.).
There was nothing to make this
a mocratic year," and therefore
intelligent observers are not disap-
pointed that there were 60 few tan
gible gains for the party in the
State elections on Tuesday. The
country is still prosperous. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has won far more
confidence than he has lost since his
accession. The Democrats are not
wholly united upon important live
issue. They have no recognized
and trusted national leader.
The gain of Senator in Kentucky
is simply coming to its own again
of the party in State that is nor
mally strongly Democratic. The
success of Mr.. German in Maryland
is victory of the same sort.
In some Of the other States there
| is reduction of the Republican
majorities on light vote and in
others an increase Of the same on
similar condition. These results car
hardly be claimed to have much sig
nifcance.
