OF y. Il. King, near Buena vista, on
Monday noon OF last week. Mr.. King
has the contract Of working the crimi-
mails of the county, and this negro,
whose name is Jim Hunter was there
working under a sentence from this
city. Mr.. King last week advertised
his escape offering $500 reward for
his capture, but it is certain that q
still greater reward ought to be offered
and his arrest accomplished, If other
communities are to be protected from
his desperate hands.
Hunter came to Okolona several
months ago and has spent most of his
time among the more disreputable and
loafing elements of his race. When
the homes of Mr.. Hawkins and Miss
Alice Duke were burgalized two weeks
ago, suspicion naturally turned to-
ward him as being in some way con-
nected with them, though direct evil
dence could be found against him for
this particular work. He was, how
ever, the next day arrested on some
other charge and sent to the county
farm, where he was put to work on
Kings place in the field, together with
perhaps q dozen others.
When the dinner hour arrived on
the End, and all the workers were
seated on the ground eating, Hunter
suddenly sprung toward the guard,
disarmed him, by snatching his Ss
Colts revolver from his belt and beat
ing a hssty retreat with the weapon
pointed toward the guard.
The only resistance he encountered
was at the hands of 3 is year old ne
gro boy who grabbed his hoe as If to
defend the guard, whom he supposed
Hunter would at once fire upon. In
stead Hunter turned and fred direct
at the boy, barely missing the mark,
when the guard and prisoners all,
except young negro named Conan
Jenkins, beat a retreat. Then COM
manding Jenkins to follow him,
Hunter made good his escape, and has
not been heard of since.
From the character of the fellow,
the officers are disposed to think him
bad niger, and his arrest is coveted
by many.

evening on their own floor, at Paschallville,
by the score of 21 to 19. The game was a
fast one from start to finish, and it was a
toss-up, even to the last minute who would
be the victors. While seriously handi-
capped by the fact that this was their first
game in cage, Co. I held their own, even
from the start, and scored the winning goal
with less than minute to play. This is
the second game taken from Paschall this
season.
Saturday evening witnessed Co. rs second
defeat this season, the Graystock team from
Phila. being the victors by the score of 26

fast pace set by the visitors, who gradually
drew ahead and it became evident that
the game was lost Lack of practice is
mainly the cause of the defeat as was
plainly seen by the large number of goals
missed.
