THREE NEGROES ESCAPE
 FROM JAIL AT ATHENS

Athens, July 4.-(Special.) )-Athens was treated to the sensation of a jail delivery last night. three negroes, in for serious crimes, making their escape from the county jail by means of a crow bar that had been handed in through the windows. With this excel lent help, the negroes made hole suf- ficiently large to admit their bodies, minus their clothing. and soaping the opening made in the cages, they slip ped through. Once in the hall of the jail, it was an easy job to get through the outer walls. The negroes, in their haste, left their clothing in their cells, forgetting possibly to pass them through first. They departed without any clothing. unless ome of their friends were on the outside with new supply. Only one prisoner was left. a white man, who. as soon as he heard them making their escape, began call ing for the sheriff. When he reached the jail. the prisoners had made off. It was after 12 o'clock. and. having nc dogs, he could not trace the prisoners He has offered a reward for their cap ture. The three making their escape were Robert Pendleton, Maxie McNeal, who was put in for burglary, and Wii Gilbert. who was in jail with a charge of horse stealing against him. They are all comparatively young negroes Maxie Is about IS, Robert about 24 oi 25 and Bill about S5 years of age.

 Many of the stores closed all day yes terday, while in the afternoon nearly all of them closed and the streets pre- scented Sunday appearance.
 The livery stables did big business, as every available vehicle was hired. The roads about the city were lined with buggies and carriages. The street cars were well patronized, most of them being crowded all day. The railroads had put on reduced rates, and, as re- suit. there were many visitors to the city. They spent the morning sight, seeing. and in the afternoon went to the ball game or the horse races.
 The courts, banks and other public institutions were closed all day. The postoffice observed Sunday hours. with the exception that there was one deliv- cry in the morning. Notwithstanding that there was no public demonstra- tion. the day was thoroughly enjoyed.
 The offices were closed at the Capitol and business was practically suspend ed in all departments. The Convention Hall was deserted, there being but one or two members at their desks during the day, and these were too far away from home to 90 there and get back In time for the session tomorrow.

NEEDLE CAUSED DEATH
 OF MRS. G. HARSHFoRD

New Decatur. July 4.-(Special.)-A
 tiny needle, which may have been em-
 bedded in the flesh of Mrs. Gerald
 Harshford for many years has finaiiy
 resulted in her death.
 Mrs. Harshford. who was $s years
 old. lived at Flowers. this County. nav
 ing moved here from Hoboken. N. J.,
 some six or eight years ago. She died
 on Tuesday. The primary cause or
 death was consumption, but the little
 needle pricking the tissues of the right
 lung for years had sown the seeds or
 the disease.
 Mrs. Harshford first began to feel
 the effects of the invisible needle about
 a year after she came south. Sne
 complained of severe pains in her side,
 and was occasionally seized with vto-
 lent spells of coughing. The best local medical talent were called in at vari- ous times and they diagnosed her com plaint as quick consumption. It was thought by the physicians that for- eign substance was lodged in the vicin- ity of the right lung, but under the circumstances they did not feel war ranted in performing a surgical ope- ration. as they did not think the pa tient's physical condition would stand the strain. The medical men had prac- ticaily given her up. When last March Mrs. Harshford visited her parents, who are wealthy aged people, living in Northern Ohio, she was rapidly vast ing away. Her parents convinced her that an operation might save her life. She went to q noted private sanitari- um, where the operation was success fully performed, the surgeons succeed ing in bringing to light the little needle which for yeats had been imbedded In the flesh.
 That the needle had not penetrated the lung was due to the fact that the flesh lad grown through the eye. hold ing the little weapon tightly and se- curely In its place. The Dulsations of the lung had brought the tissues in
 contact with the sharp point and the
 constant priclking resulted. Strange to say the patient rallied from the ope- ration.
 With the removal of the needle, Mrs. Harshford suffered comparatively little pain, and after resting few weeks at the home of her parents she re- turned South in hopes that the baimy air, mild climate would restore her to her wonted health and vigor. For e time hopes of her recovery were en- | tartairai. The disease. however, had become too deep-seated. and she sank gradually until death came.
 The presence of the needle In the wo- mans body cannot be explained by any of her relatives.
 Mrs. Harshford was a very wealthy woman and had spent several winters at the health resorts of Florida. Her residence here was only temporary. she
 having been attracted by the beauti- ful scenery of the Tennessee river
 gorges. She had rented some ground in a magnificent grove on top of a high bluff overlooking the river. among the Whitesburg Mountains. some thir- ty miles from this city. and 1t was while on a prospecting tour that your
 correspondent became acquainted with
 her and her husband. They had built a camp in the woods and had filled it with all the luxuries of modern life.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Gill Ascertains That The Law
Prevents Railroad Taxation.

Judge Joseph A Gill at Musko-
gee Monday rendered a decision
to the effect that under the exist.
ing laws the Missouri Pacific rail.
road company could not be com.
PEELED to pay the municipal tax to
the incorporated town OF Nowata.
This decision, Of course is ap
plicable to other towns and other
railroads in the territory.
The officials OF Nowata had lev.
led tax which the company re-
fused to pay. The town then lew
led on a section house and other
railroad property and proceeded to
sell it for taxes. The company
asked for a perpetual injunction
and this was granted after Judge
Gill heard statement of the iacls
and argument aud had exhaustive
ly examined the authorities.
In concluding his decision Judge
Gill said: "In order for the court
to hold that municipal corpora
tions within the Indian Territory
can tax railroads, and railroad
consisting of the right
ofway, and buildings thereon, the
court would have to devise some
special scheme Of valuation for the
entire territory, which is clearly
beyond its power, and, therefore,
the injunction in this case must be
perpetual"
