A LA NASHVILLE.
Four Marshall County IaII Breakers
Take a Holiday Spree
In Columbia, While Sheriff Wallace
and Deputies, are Busy Look
ing for Them.

The fame of the Nashville detectives,
who allowed the bandit Parker to es-
cape from them in an ice wagon has
paled into insignifcance. In other
words, they are not lin it any
longer.
The four Marshall County Jail break
ers, who flew their coop last week,
sojourned in Columbia Thursday ;
and thereby hangs quite an in
teresting tale. Sheriff Wallace of Mar
shall county, got information that the
escaped prisoners had wended their
steps this way, and were probably in
hiding in this community. So he
brought his deputies here Thursday,
put the Maury county officers onto the
matter, and the lynx-eyed sleuths put
in the day searching for the fugitives.
In the meantime the aforementioned
fugitives were having Jolly old
time. They made it an occasion for
holiday outing, and it is presumed
they made round Of the saloons, as
they were all gloriously drunk when
the days festivities were brought to a
close. Then two of them-the white
man, Tom Secrest, and one of the ne
groes-got away safely from town, not
on an ice wagon, but-more the
wOnder-on the Lewisburg Jerk
water" train. When the two reached
Lewisburg, they were past going, and
Secrest was picked up on the stree
drunk and landed back in Jail TIL,
other two prisoners both negroes) it il
understood, went to Birmingham.
The Marshall county officers followed
the fugitives trail back to Lewisbur,
Friday morning.

ture Their Pursuers.

Topeka, Kan, Nov 10. Sheriff
Cook, of this county, and Deputy
Sheriff Williams, were captured by
two escaped convicts from Fort
Leavenworth military prison this after
noon, at Pauline, five miles south of
Topeka. and held prisoners in the farm
house OF a man named Wooster, for
several hours. The convicts finally
escaped between line of police sent
from Topeka to reinforce the Sheriff,
and are now at large
Both are slightly wounded. Wooster
was badly wounded by one of the con-
victs when he tried to fire on them.
Mrs. Wooster and Sheriff Cook were
held before the convicts as shield by
the prisoners in making their escape.
A posse is in pursuit to night.
The convicts had secured good
start before the officers had recovered
from their surprise. Then some of
the policemen wanted to pursue, but
Sheriff Cook would not permit it, as
he had promised the convicts immunity
from arrest.
The convicts are well armed, having
taken all the guns in the farm house,
including those of the Sheriff and his
deputy. They are both white men,
but their identity was not learned

children
Mr.. Joseph Kirchensteiner, 81 Croton
street, Cleveland, o., says: "We have
used Peruna for eight years as our fam
lily medicine. During the whole of that
time we have not had to employ ply
sician.
Our family consists of seven, and
we also use it for the thousand and
one ailments to which mankind is liable.
We have used it in cases of scarlet fever.
measles and diphtheria. Whenever one
of the family feels in the least i'll, mother
always says: Take Peruna and you
will be well,' or if we do not happen to
have any, we will have to get more
Peruna.' Peruna is always satisfactory
in colds and coughs"
Children are especially liable to acute
catarrh. Indeed, most of the affections
of childhood are catarrh. All forms of
sore throat, quinsy, Group, hoarseness,
and laryngitis are but different phases
of catarrh.
These affections, in the acute
form, may pass away without treat
ment, but they leave a foundation
for chronic catarrh in later years. Even
a slight cold is acute catarrh, and rem
ders the mucous membrane of the head
and throat more liable to chronic ca.
tarrh afterwards. The child is con,
stantly asailed winter and summer, with
catarrh.
Affections of the stomach and bowels

tarrhal arrangements of these organs
A great many families are learning by
bitter experience that these affections
must be promptly treated or the child:

HOT SHOT.
Gov. BeCkham Fires a voIIey al
Gov. Durbin.
Says the Latter, In Refusing to Sur
render the Fugitives, is
Party After the Fact
to the Crime.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 1t.-Goy.
Beckham tonight addressed Gov. Dur
bin, of Indiana, replying to the criti-
cism by that executive of the courts
and officials of Kentucky, in his re-
cent letter refusing to honor the re-
QUESTION for Taylor and Finley, wanted
for alleged completely in the assassina-
tion of Gov. GOebel.
He severely arraigns Durbin for his
refusal, charging that in doing so he
violated his oath of Office to support
the Constitution of the United States,
and that he became "a party after the
fact to the most infamous crime in
the history of this State, the cold
blooded and dastardly murder of an
eminent and distinguished citizen Of
Kentucky.
The Kentucky executive also charges
that Gov. Durbin's s action in refusing
was tue result Of a political bargain
made before his election to office and
characterizes his charges against the
courts and officials of Kentucky as
slanderous and inexcusable misrepre-
sentations.
He takes the stand that the Governor
of State has no discretionary power.
but only ministerial power in honoring
OF legally drawn acquisitions from
other States, and this is taken here as
an indication that steps will shortly
be taken in the courts to compel Dur
BIN by mandamus to nonor the requisi-
! tions.
Ii such proceedings are instituted
they will be in the courts of Indiana
and taken on appeal to the Supreme
| Court

E. A. Cox, Esq.

In beginning his speech, Mr., Cox
said that it was not his purpose to
criticise the character or motives of
the gentlemen who were running on the
opposing ticket. The question before
the people of Columbia is one that can
not be settled on the line of personal
favor or merit, but it is one that
must be settled by the fair and i'm
partial Judgment of the voters of Co
lumbia.
There is one issue in the campaign,
the speaker said, around which the
lines have been clearly drawn, and
that is the 8 80 o. clock law; this is the
pre- eminent question, and all Other
questions are subservient to it. 1t il
question of the expediency or advis
ability of repeating that law.
Since the passage of the 10 O'Clock
law in Columbia, the question of the
early closing of saloons has been a live
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1901-11-15

issue. 1t is a question upon which
men have conscientionsly differed, and
it has absorbed more time and atten-
tion than any other issue.
So far as the gentlemen on the oppos-
ing ticket are concerned, they have
made no public declaration as to their
position on the s 80 question: but it
is commonly reported and generally
believed that the men who sell liquor
in Columbia dominated the caucus
that put the Yoest ticket in nomina-
ton; and it an is open, notorious and
admitted fact, that every man who
has any interest directly or indirectly,
in the sale of liquor, is industriously
at work, giving not only his time but
his means to secure their election
And they are working with the evil
ent idea that Mr. Yoest and his asso-
ciates, if elected, will repeal the 3 80
law. ''If elected, continued Mr..
Cox, ''they will be confronted with the
question of whether they shall break
faith with the men who secured their
election, or follow the wishes of the
saloon men; being honorable gentle
men, | conclude they will not violate
their trust. -
The gentlemen on the Reform ticket
have said publicly that they consider
the 8 80 question settled, and that if
elected they will not disturb that law.
In deciding which ticket you will
support, therefore, it is proper that
you should consider the character of
the men and the principles for which
they stand. There is no class or ele-
ment that is not represented in the
personel of the Reform ticket. They
are men who have shown their ability
to manage their own affairs; who
have commanded the respect of theil
fellow men, and who are above re-
proach in their private lives.
In conclusion, Mr. Cox urged thai
every voter take, an interest in thu
election and express his opinion at thu
ballot. box. The men on the Nichols
ticket, he said, do not claim to be i'm

plain, every day citizens, determined
to work for the prosperity of Columbi;
and the best interest of its people.
